Red beans and rice with chips is amazing! I’ve enjoyed this dish for more years than I care to share. Absolutely delicious! Perfect healthy comfort food.Staff is warm and welcoming ??

I hesitate to write a wonderful review because it's always crowded when we arrive (a good sign) and I don't want to make it worse. Hands down the finest restaurant in Northside and one of the best in Cincinnati. I still can't believe how they can serve food that is so carefully prepared, a real culinary experience, for such low prices. If too many people find out about it, we'll never be able to get in. So don't go there. You won't like it.

Went for the hot bagel with chicken, mushrooms and onions and a glass of Old Fashion made with Four Roses. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding.

First time customer, had a great experience, would definitely go back and recommend to others. Good food, great staff, good vibes.Initially ordered a hamburger that came a little under cooked. Brought to the attention of host and she immediately sent it back to kitchen to be corrected. The kitchen remade the entire order with no questions… and Katie the bartender even offered a complimentary dessert because of it. Order took about 8mins to remake… and it was great ?. Thank you.

They make an excellent martini, what else....Amazing art. I honestly haven't had a bunch of their food, but I love this place and would recommend to anyone. They have great values and amazing people, what else...

Have been wanting to stop for a while, and finally did. First impression very busy and staff pleasant. Beyond that went down hill, menu was limited but some choices, drink choices were interesting. Upon ordering drinks tasted different for lack of a better term. Ordered food, chicken chorizo cavitappi, and the vodka cavitappi, very underwhelming, no taste, very bland and overpriced for mom home made goulash, wait mom's goulash had more taste and flavor... Overall would not reccomend this reataurant. Move on and choose. A better venue

This is my go to restaurant in North Side. The staff are warm, kind and so friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious. They respect the health and well-being of their customers with masking and keeping the tables far enough away to dine comfortably while social distancing. The conversation and interactions are genuine! That, you can't buy. Keep up the great work ??

The food is top-notch, and the service is very attentive. I also love the art installations. Just a great place to enjoy.

I love Ruth's Parkside Cafe! Excellent food, great service and charming atmosphere! Loved the art and the grilled salmon was perfection with a delicate sauce and veggies cooked just right!

This is a great hidden gem in Cincinnati. The staff was patient and kind. The food was absolutely delicious and the servings were plentiful! They have a lot of great options to meet different dietary needs as well.
