First time we have been here but it won’t be our last! We picked this place during burger week and sure glad we did. Food, service, atmosphere were all excellent. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We sat at the bar as all of the indoor tables were taken and it was too toasty to sit outside. Give this place a try if you haven’t already.

The Blind Squirrel is a hopping place! I managed to find a parking space. Entering the restaurant, I was amazed how huge it was! Extremely friendly hostess and server. Even though the place was packed I was seated promptly. There was a wide range of patrons enjoying this happening music, grub, and sports venue.

This place is a super nice gem. We lived here quite awhile before trying it and now we will definitely be going regularly. Went on a Saturday for lunch. Was raining so we couldn’t sit outside – looking forward to doing that soon, as the patio looks super welcoming. The server told me I couldn’t order cocktails before 2pm. But then she came back and said that was only on Sundays. I ordered a bourbon cocktail and it was delish! I tried the watermelon colada afterwards, and while it might be a fun summer drink, it tasted like liquid jolly rancher to me, so not my thing. All of our food was excellent. I ordered the truffle burger, but as a chicken sandwich, without cheese/dairy free. My meal did come out with cheese, but they promptly returned it and brought me a new one in a bit. Small hiccup, but service was still great. My kid loved their kids cheese pizza (made without sauce for her). Hubby got the spicy Italian grinder and loved it.

Chose to eat here because of the selection of food and the selection on the kid’s menu was perfect for picky eaters. Mac and Cheese bacon burger and BBQ burger were delicious!! Try the pretzel and beer cheese app!! Definitely recommend!

We visited Blind Squirrel for Cincinnati Wings Week. They had a great deal on wings. 7 wings for $7. We ordered the garlic parmesan wings and the hot honey wings. They were both good, but the garlic parmesan came out on top for flavor. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean, had lots of big TVs and a large bar. I got a $2 pint because it was happy hour. Wings and a beer under $10. Crazy deal. Really happy with Blind Squirrel. We’ll be back.

This was the first time we went to Blind Squirrel and overall it was fantastic. The nachos with pork were great and all 3 of us should have just shared the one dish! One of us had the Cesar salad with grilled chicken and it was great. I had the burger with fries. I ordered it medium and it was very dry but the flavor was good.

Update (11-7-22): We fell in love with this place the first time we visited but we’ve been back several times and brought friends and family members and I’m sad to say the consistency of the food has suffered since our first trips here. Don’t get me wrong, when they nail it, they nail it and we all smile, but they been missing the head of the nail more times than not lately so I have to keep it real and drop my 5 rating to a 3. I KNOW how difficult it is to run a restaurant, keep good quality employees, and be consistent meal after meal so I’m willing to try them again in hopes that they return to the Squirrel we first fell in love with. Here’s hoping!
