Tavern On The Bend

“ Never been disappointed here and the new menu is awesome. Can't go wrong with anything. The mac and dawgs are top notch and very unique ”

“ Very friendly and attentive staff. They were able to prepare the mahi mahi and salmon gluten free alongside their house salad. Food was delicious. Others in our party enjoyed various versions of Mac & cheese which they are known for. Enjoyed the music which started earlier than planned! Wish they would not use plastic utensils and paper plates, but perhaps a dishwasher is not feasible. Nice place for a family meal or to watch the game! ”

“ Decided to give the restaurant a shot. It's a seat your self type of bar . We sat down and the server came as soon we sat down. Took our drink order and came back promptly. We decided to order some pretzel sticks with cheese for a appetizer. The pretzel was soft and warm and didn't have alot of salt on it. Our main dish was I ordered a Westside dawg which comes with quarter pound hotdog with bbq sauce and fried onion straws and cheddar cheese and bacon. My wife ordered the goetta mac and chesse. The goetta wasn't over powering. It had good flavor. Overall the total price was 50.00 with tip. Our server was quick to refill our drinks . ”

“ Great find for a break between baseball games. Good variety of food, good service with quick kitchen and they had the Reds game on. 6 minutes from KofC fields of your kids are playing in a tournament. ”

“ What a freakin gem of a find! My friend that lives on this side of town and I were trying to find a place to eat that was chill enough for us to dinner at after work. She mentioned she had a few good things from some colleagues about TotB, so off we went! The tavern is located in an unassuming strip mall at a - shocker - bend in the road. The parking is plentiful but awkward; the spaces are small if you drive a larger vehicle. The inside of the restaurant has the feel of a neighborhood sports bar. I thought I was in for some frozen wings and Bud Lite, but man was I wrong! First thing I noticed was that they have an excellent tap selection. The first time I was here, I had a pumpkin beer (yes, I'm a little behind on reviewing!), and the kind server had the brilliant idea of giving it a honey brown sugar top. GAMECHANGER! It wasn't heavy enough that it gave dessert vibes so it was easy to drink a couple of them. Their menu is heavy on the midwestern, specifically Cincinnati-special, cuisine. They have hanky pankys, y'all!! In true Ohio fashion, I asked my friend from San Diego how she likes her hanky pankys. She responded with concern for my out of place sexual innuendo, to which I had to explain that hanky pankys are an iconic, PG-rated appetizer. Tavern does them the right way on pumpernickel rye. I unfortunately had to share my order, but I'd down a whole plate by myself, easy. TotB is known for their Mac and cheese. As your resident Goetta aficionado, of course I had to order their Goetta Mac. My friend steered toward the lobster Mac. I was surprised that my friends pasta had more lobster than mine did Goetta. I also thought the noodles themselves could have had more cheese sauce. Nonetheless, it was still tasty and I finished what I could before becoming full. Unfortunately, I do not have the privilege of living close enough to this establishment to visit more frequently, nor do I have the funds to move closer. No sir, not in this economy! I will have to settle for driving across town for my hanky Panky fix - pun intended ;) ”

“ Awesome food and drink. Always a great stop for Mac & cheese creations or a variety of burgers, chicken, salads or apps. Neighborhood go to anytime day or night. Big draft list, just wish it'd rotate more, but always have the favs. ”
