Prepare yourself for one of the best meals I've EVER had. Seriously.That's a bold claim considering I spent the entire weekend in Cincinnati eating, so I was never actually hungry at any of these restaurants. But, The Eagle served me a sandwich that I will never forget. We were in line when they opened so we could get one of the first seats. They tend to have a long line, and we were short on time. But I knew we had to make it here. And, I'm so, so glad we did.After being seated, I quickly skimmed the menu. They are known for their fried chicken, so I knew I had to get my hands on that. I went for the FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH: fried chicken breast, cole slaw, spicy mayo, house pickles. I also ordered a side of spoonbread.The sandwich came out with a side of this spicy honey - one of my favorites! - so I already knew this was going to be good.Good god, if there's one chicken sandwich you have to eat in your lifetime - make it this one. The sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, crunchiness all combined with a touch of acid and a touch of heaven to make for one of the best things I've put in my mouth.The spoonbread came out a bit late, so I ended up taking most of it to go and eating it on the ride back. It was pretty delicious, but I was still salivating over that chicken sandwich.
Stopped by the Eagle with some friends for a Friday Happy Hour. I love the inside of this place. Plenty of bar stools surrounded by many tables to dine at.
Great beer choices to satisfy any beer professional. The wine list was lacking however.
Great friendly service. Next time i need to give their food menu a try.
So delicious, went for the fried chicken but stayed for the mac and cheese! Service great, atmosphere exactly how it should be-loud and crowded
Everything is excellent. Share as many sides as you can. The spoonbread and grits can't be beat! If your solo, the chicken sandwich is perfect. Don't skip on the extra honey!
Great little restaurant. Best fried chicken and macaroni and cheese in Cincinnati. Lot's of good local beers on tap. There is almost always a wait to be seated because of how good they are. They will page/text you though when your table is ready if you want to walk around OTR a while or grab a beer.
A lot of my friend talk about how great the southern food is at the "Eagle", well they are correct all of side dishes are superb, the corn nuts...yes the corn nuts and the maple bacon are a starting place, and the Chicken is some of the best in Cincinnati, and with great beer offering.
Worth going!
This little dive of a bar was really a treat! There was a 45-minute wait if you wanted a table or first come first served at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender was attentive to all the customers at the bar as well as the servers she was tending to. We had never been here so we asked what was good. For a drink, she said since we were not drinking alcohol this night to try the root beer on draft. It was excellent! Next, we tried the Brown Sugar Bacon, she was correct!!! What else do I have to say?!? Its BACON SUGAR and SPICE! For dinner, we had the 1/4 dark chicken (with spicy hot honey) along with spoon bread (with a maple butter), coleslaw, and the 5 cheese mac n cheese!!! I also sampled the collard greens! Who knew someone north of the mason-dixon could cook collards that good!!! The service was great and food even better (Second best fried chicken I have ever eaten). A great place to go everytime I venture to Cincy for a day!!!

One of the best newer restaurants in Cincinnati. Once seated, the service is excellent and the food is fantastic. The fried chicken is among the best I have ever had, crispy outside, and juicy inside. The sides are excellent (candied bacon, and spoon read are my favorite). The only major drawback is the seating. My wife and I waited almost 45 minutes when we arrived at opening time a few Saturday's ago, because they were that full already. Clearly, we are not the only ones who love their food!
Best chicken of my life. Also loved the maple glazed bacon as an appetizer. This is a carnivore's dream!
Biggest complaint (which they can't help): sooooo busy! We went at 3 pm on a Saturday and had to sit at a communal table. Prior to actually eating there, we had tried to go twice and each time the wait was longer than an hour. Once, we put our names on the wait list and forgot to take it off (they just take your phone number and call when your table is ready). We were eating at the Haufbrahaus by the time they called.
They can't help that they're popular. :)

Always great friend chicken and sides. Always... Make sure to get the pickled veggies!
Been 6 times - and have never had a poor experience. Quality!
The best chicken restaurant in the world!!! Make sure to get the hush puppies also! Fries, Mac... you name it! Never had a single bad thing off the menu. this place does not disappoint. Me and my buddies love going down! Bartender loves to chop it up with my buddy "tomahawk" always a pleasure attending this restaurant.
This place was so good!!! I’m sad we don’t live in Cincinnati so we can eat here more often.
We started with the spicy chicken dip and it was spicy and creamy and delicious. The Chicken BLT sandwich was AMAZING and the fries with comeback sauce made me so happy. My husband had the 1/4 chicken with collard greens. He loved it with the hot honey.
The atmosphere is fun and our server Carlee was FANTASTIC! She was super friendly and made great suggestions.
Definitely go here!!!
Who doesn’t love fried chicken? My partner is vegetarian and she’s excited to come with me for the kale salad. The Eagle is one of my go-to safe places to take people from out of town. Get the fried chicken, of course, with hot honey. All the sides are great and a good size for sharing. The mac and cheese is award winning. Fries are good. Corn bread is good. Be prepared for a wait if you arrive without a reservation during busy dinner hours.
We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Food was all fantastic! Loved all the sides we tried along with the chicken. Our favorite was the fries with the aioli! So good! Our server was friendly but was not around very often and it didn't seem busy. I will be back because of the high quality food.
This was my first time dining at this establishment, and I was enthralled with the service and the food. Everything was piping hot, fresh, and simply DELICIOUS. I'm a sucker for some hush puppies, and these are (no joke) probably the best I've ever had in my life. The grilled cheese was made with apples which added such a depth of flavor with the cheeses. The fries were garlicky and served in a large portion. The spoon bread was fantastic as a stand alone, but when paired with the tobasco honey sauce, it's out of this world. Our server was fantastic, attentive, and full of energy!
Wow! If you’re looking for southern comfort food, this is the place for you! I ordered the fried chicken BLT, and it was amazing! What was even better was the mac & cheese! It was super creamy and had great flavor. Honestly some of the best mac & cheese that I’ve had!

First off, let me say that the atmosphere of this cute little place was exceptional, as was the service!! We ate out front on the patio, which was lovely! Our super sweet server, named Peyton, was excellent! Very friendly, informative and always checking in with us periodically to see if we needed anything. We tried several dishes while dining here. We had the whole chicken(which consisted of 8 pieces: 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs), spoon bread with maple butter, fries with aioli, and the biscuits with blackberry jam and honey butter. Let’s start with the chicken, it was juicy and tasted good. I wouldn’t say it was extraordinary, I’ve had way better, but it was good. The spicy honey that was served alongside was pretty tasty though! The spoon bread was good. Of all the recipes I’ve seen for spoon bread though, it’s more of a soufflé type texture. This was more typical cornbread texture, but the kicker was that it had celery in it…who does that??? Kinda ruined it for me after finding that in my next bite! The maple butter was delicious though!! The fries with their seasoning were delicious. Didn’t much care for the aioli…it was much too strong tasting. The winning dish of the whole dinner was the biscuits and the blackberry jam!!!! Those were fabulous!! Could’ve done without the honey butter, it was not very good, and neither was their regular butter. Not sure what they were using, but they might want to change that. My hubs had two local craft beers that he liked; the 50 West, and the Sonder You Betcha! Definitely try this place out, especially if you love fried chicken! Very cool place!!
Shipped here for some late night dinner and it DI NOT DISSAPOINT! Some of the food combos might seem odd mixed together but TRUST THE PROCESS... the apples on the grilled cheese made it crunch and sweet, and the chicken club was INCREDIBLE BURST OF FLAVOR! If Mia is working SIT WITH HER she was attentive, sweet, and fun! She didn't push us out the door she told us to sit and enjoy the Cincinnati Street show haha.
I've been here a few times, it's one of our favorite places to eat when we visit Cincinnati. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. And the chicken is first rate. Great seasoning, flavor and tender.
This place was truly spectacular. I had never been to Ohio before, but the Eagle gave me the perfect first impression. The servers were super welcoming, and ours even gave us recommendations for what to see in the neighborhood. The food was the perfect balance of Southern and fresh, and the outdoor seating was ideal for the sunny day. Prices were great, too. 10/10 from me.
