Milkman 1106 Race Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202

"The smash style cheeseburgers were delicious! Fresh and juicy meat with a good amount of cheese. Loved the crispy, seasoned fries so much I ate my niece's extras when she got full. We tried the regular milkshakes, and they were delicious! Our friends who joined us got the boozy shakes and loved them. Cute little casual place with some small booths and tables for seating. You order when you arrive and they give you a number to bring to your table. The staff was friendly. I will definitely be back next time I'm craving a smash burger. The only thing that could use some improvement is the special sauce. I didn't think it tasted like anything special. Mostly just tasted like mayo."

"I don’t know why I haven’t been here before! Great location right up the street from Washington Park with a laid back vibe. You first grab your drinks from the refrigerator (beer, soda, water, etc.). You then order at the counter, where they will give you a table number. Find your own seat, and they bring the food to you. The service was quick and the servers were kind and attentive. Most importantly, the burgers were great! They are “smash” burgers. They had plenty of seasoning and the toppings were fresh. The fries were crispy while being soft and fluffy on the inside and well seasoned like the burgers. Overall, I thought the prices were reasonable. If you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive bite in the OTR area, this is the place for you."

"One of our favorite meals while in Cincy for a weekend birthday trip. We stopped in around 10 PM on a Saturday after getting out of the ballet. It was the perfect late night meal. My husband had a spicy burger, I had the Buffalo “chicken” (tofu) sandwich, we split fries, and each got a milkshake. The seasoning, temperature, and flavor combos were spot on for everything! I was especially enthralled with the Buffalo sandwich. Being a long time vegetarian, I’m pretty picky about replacement “meats” and this one nailed it. Loved the crispness of it! Highly recommend. The place was clean and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Everything you want in a local diner style spot. If we’re ever back in town, it’ll be our first stop"

"Located in Over-the-Rhine, Milkman is an upscale lunch and dinner diner-style restaurant. They are on Race Street just south of Washington Park. Orders are placed at the counter. The menu features "juicy burgers," fried chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, nuggets, and boozy shakes. If you don't want a boozy shake, there are unalcoholic versions available as well, in addition to canned/bottled beer, soda, juice, etc. all available to grab yourself just before you place your order. The food is cooked to order but comes out really fast! I was happy to see that they have fried chicken sandwiches on the menu since I don't eat burgers. The club with swiss, bacon, shredded lettuce, tomato, and garlic herb mayo ($11.99) was really good. The thicken was thick and juicy and the sauce was great. The buffalo and damn hot chicken sandwiches are also very good. It's hard to go wrong. As far as boozy shakes go, I recommend the Grasshopper with bourbon, creme de menthe, chocolate chips, and whipped cream ($12.99). However, I think it is hard to go wrong with any of their choices. My only complaint is that prices are a little high since the sandwiches do not come with a side dish, but I recommend sharing the order of fries or onion rings anyway, making the prices not too bad. This is a great place to bring your kids and we will for sure be back for more."
