Joe's Diner

The only true diner car in Cincinnati, and an incredibly well preserved one at that, well worth a look for that alone. Sadly, the food doesn't have a great reputation, and service isn't too hot either. Also opening hours can be a little strange I gather - thats the word around here anyway.

I've not eaten here but I walked in the other night for a late-night breakfast after the bars closed and even after a few drinks, the place smelled so bad that I turned around and walked out. I'm usually a pretty fearless eater but the risk for food poisoning was almost palpable. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone which is a shame because the space itself is pretty cool.

It used to be so great but is sadly not living up to it's stunning exterior. I wish someone would take this space and turn it into something great, but as of now the food is overpriced for lackluster taste and service. Head to Tuckers for a some real down home diner food.

A little hit and miss, but worth seeing just based on the sweet 50s feel. Here's our first trip: http://www.diveswithoutwives.com/2013/03/12/joes-diner-a-true-1950s-style-diner-in-otr/

I had no problem with the food here, however the service was very slow with one meal served at a time. The building is fantastic but very hot in the sunshine.
