The perfect place to visit for lunch or a lazy Sunday. Their "Dog of the Day" can be interesting, and I love the truffle fries (more so than the duck fat fries, trust me). They have a nice rotating draft selection, and outside of hots dogs (pictured below is the Lindsay Lohan) some of their other entrees are worth a try as well - I personally like the poké bowl & gyro. The staff is always very friendly and I've enjoyed coming here over the years.

A very unique and simple menu including duck fat fries, mussels, roasted marrow bone, ribeye, and their "famous" hot dogs .
Beeautiful restaurant inconspicuously tucked in Summit Park, where I enjoy walking when in town. There was a large gathering in the semi private room with some carry over into the main seating area. All seemed to be enjoying their meals. I chose to sit inside due to the humidity from a rainy day, they offer outdoor seating as well. I asked for anything special and they offered a vegan take on tomato basil soup, which had great texture and flavor. I wanted the wood fired ribeye but the had an issue recently and the wood fire option was not available, they offered an alternate cooking method but I choose to try the Chiken Tikka grilled cheese. Sandwich was huge and had fabulous flavor. Chicken perfectly cooked, sourdough flavor was great only thing I would have improved was thinner slice and crispier grill on the bread to offset the moisture of the tikka sauce.

Food was Great, but Pricey! Atmosphere was amazing and the staff were very accommodating. Thank you for a good time!

I had never been here before. They had a chicken Parm sandwich for their special that was as big as my face. It had some spice, but the house marinara sauce was outstanding. The bacon fat fries were amazing as well. Also tried the poutine fries and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! I will definitely go back!

Good food in decent atmosphere. We had our dog with, so Sat outside, which was fine, but wasn't ideal as it wasn't super well set up with the concrete tables being large, so we took up a lot of space.
The hot dog was great and so was the poutine.

4 stars all around. Good food, prompt service, nice patio. Nothing outstanding but would go again. Had the spuds hotdog. It was good. Too much bun to dog ratio for me but that's always the case. The flavor was there but something was missing. Maybe crunchier on the French fries.

Senate is always a highlight to go to. When we have people over we tend to take them to Senate more consistently than any other restaurant in the area. Service is always great, and the true highlight is their delicious food. Their signature item are their hot dogs, but if you should go there, my recommendation is to forgo the hot dogs and instead order the best Poutine in the state. It is absolutely heavenly, and the portion size as of September 2023 feeds 2 adults easily. The mussels, duck fat fries, lobster mac and cheese and a few other things lend themselves to be ordered in the group and shared. That being said, their mains are fantastic as well. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
And they are located next to a nice park, parking is no problem, and if you should be there in the nicer season you can go for a nice walk after your meal.

We Love the fries even though they are stupid expensive. Love the pot stickers too.I had the trailer park which was tasty. My companion had the Cleo McDowell which he said was good but not great for the price. He regrets not getting Lohan instead. Our server was friendly. The food was hot and looked appealing.
Dan Haupt
Great hot dog, unique flavors - the whole table loved it. Their truffle fries are outstanding!
Tamara Green
Who knew hot dogs could be so tasty?! They really are amazing. We had the Trailer Park and the Dog of the Day. Both were delicious. We also had the Chocolate and Bourbon Bread Pudding and I highly recommend saving room for it! The restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating but the atmosphere and service are both great!

Had the hot dog with the short ribs & Kimchi. It was delicious. So many flavor profiles. Spicy, sweet, crunchy, soft. It was a flavor explosion. We also had the poutine, it was very rich but again delicious. Would definitely return. The service was awesome as well.
Sterling Gurney
Fantastic. I had the K pop. Delicious rib meat and kimchi elevated the hot dog. The dog itself was excellent, unlike a commercial dog. They make their own and you can tell. Dogs like no other. My son had the Gyro and it was outstanding. Large portions. Three of us shared duck fat fries. The fries could just about feed one if you were moderately hungry. They are thick and cooked to perfection. Crisp. Great herbs. Dipping sauce was a wonderful addition (comes with it). Guy chose a good one for Diners Drive In's and Dives. Kitchen is visible which is a plus. The chef brought the fries out himself. They were in time with our dietary restrictions and worked with us.

Visited this location of SENATE in Blue Ash while meeting up with family friends in Cincy. We wanted some semi upscale local cuisine and found this general area and specific restaurant to be the perfect fit! It's not really "upscale", but there are fancy hot dogs, various other Cincy highlights, and general American fare at this hip and classy lunch spot. This would be a favorite of mine were I a local!

This place is so cool. I got the K-pop hot dog. It was a nice fusion of flavors. They were all beef hot dogs. The bread was great. Definitely had to use a fork and a knife to eat it though. Also, not pictured, is the tikka masala grilled cheese. Looked great. We also got duck fat fries and truffle fries which were super delicious. The falafel tacos looked great as well. There is something for everyone here. The staff is super nice, everything was made and presented beautifully. There was nice outdoor seating and indoor seating. It was also nice that there was a walking area around the restaurant. It was all around great vibes. I would definitely be back again. Pictured are the K-pop, Chicago, and Lindsay Lohan hot dogs.

Great food but a little pricey. I had a kimchi and short rib hot dog that was delicious but cost $14.
Gina Williams
Went for a business lunch. It's very loud and hard to carry on a conversation with more than a few people at the table.
But...
If you are looking for a nice lunch spot with a unique menu this is it.
Located in beautiful Summit Park you will find a unique menu for lunch and drinks.
I had the Lindsay Lohan hot dog. It was great! My dining companions had the tuna poke bowl and salad. All tasty.
Allen Hill
It is a great little unique restaurant in Cincinnati. The specialty hot dogs and fantastic fries make for a fun dinner. It is my go-to place for something a little different with out-of-town guests.
Ben Lightner
Excellent brunch place, absolutely loved the Poutine
Also got a hot dog to see what the big deal was about them. Wasn't a fan of the hot dog but I can see why some people love them. Would return weekly if I lived near here.
Marice Hill
We ordered the poutine, wings and the Lindsay Lohan dog. Everything was to die for! Poutine was the best in the city. Wings were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the dog was amazing! Our server Betty was so friendly and entertaining and provided excellent service. The manager Meredith was the epitome of customer service and you can tell her location is managed well! One of our new fav spots now! Shout out to the cooks as well!
