Prepare yourself for one of the best meals I've EVER had. Seriously.That's a bold claim considering I spent the entire weekend in Cincinnati eating, so I was never actually hungry at any of these restaurants. But, The Eagle served me a sandwich that I will never forget. We were in line when they opened so we could get one of the first seats. They tend to have a long line, and we were short on time. But I knew we had to make it here. And, I'm so, so glad we did.After being seated, I quickly skimmed the menu. They are known for their fried chicken, so I knew I had to get my hands on that. I went for the FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH: fried chicken breast, cole slaw, spicy mayo, house pickles. I also ordered a side of spoonbread.The sandwich came out with a side of this spicy honey - one of my favorites! - so I already knew this was going to be good.Good god, if there's one chicken sandwich you have to eat in your lifetime - make it this one. The sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, crunchiness all combined with a touch of acid and a touch of heaven to make for one of the best things I've put in my mouth.The spoonbread came out a bit late, so I ended up taking most of it to go and eating it on the ride back. It was pretty delicious, but I was still salivating over that chicken sandwich.

Stopped by the Eagle with some friends for a Friday Happy Hour. I love the inside of this place. Plenty of bar stools surrounded by many tables to dine at.
Great beer choices to satisfy any beer professional. The wine list was lacking however.

Great friendly service. Next time i need to give their food menu a try.

Everything is excellent. Share as many sides as you can. The spoonbread and grits can't be beat! If your solo, the chicken sandwich is perfect. Don't skip on the extra honey!

Great little restaurant.  Best fried chicken and macaroni and cheese in Cincinnati.  Lot's of good local beers on tap.  There is almost always a wait to be seated because of how good they are.  They will page/text you though when your table is ready if you want to walk around OTR a while or grab a beer.

A lot of my friend talk about how great the southern food is at the "Eagle", well they are correct all of side dishes are superb,  the corn nuts...yes the  corn nuts and the maple bacon are a starting place, and the Chicken is some of the best in Cincinnati, and with great beer offering.

Worth going!

This little dive of a bar was really a treat! There was a 45-minute wait if you wanted a table or first come first served at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender was attentive to all the customers at the bar as well as the servers she was tending to. We had never been here so we asked what was good. For a drink, she said since we were not drinking alcohol this night to try the root beer on draft. It was excellent! Next, we tried the Brown Sugar Bacon, she was correct!!! What else do I have to say?!? Its BACON SUGAR and SPICE! For dinner, we had the 1/4 dark chicken (with spicy hot honey) along with spoon bread (with a maple butter), coleslaw, and the 5 cheese mac n cheese!!! I also sampled the collard greens! Who knew someone north of the mason-dixon could cook collards that good!!! The service was great and food even better (Second best fried chicken I have ever eaten). A great place to go everytime I venture to Cincy for a day!!!

One of the best newer restaurants in Cincinnati. Once seated, the service is excellent and the food is fantastic. The fried chicken is among the best I have ever had, crispy outside, and juicy inside. The sides are excellent (candied bacon, and spoon read are my favorite). The only major drawback is the seating. My wife and I waited almost 45 minutes when we arrived at opening time a few Saturday's ago, because they were that full already. Clearly, we are not the only ones who love their food!

Best chicken of my life. Also loved the maple glazed bacon as an appetizer. This is a carnivore's dream!
Biggest complaint (which they can't help): sooooo busy! We went at 3 pm on a Saturday and had to sit at a communal table. Prior to actually eating there, we had tried to go twice and each time the wait was longer than an hour. Once, we put our names on the wait list and forgot to take it off (they just take your phone number and call when your table is ready). We were eating at the Haufbrahaus by the time they called.
They can't help that they're popular. :)

Fried chicken plus what amazing southern side do you want? They have some of thee best Mac and cheese I've ever had. And their corn bread is a side but I get it as dessert. Their Long Islands are so delicious (be careful!)

Visited recently for lunch and this is now one of my favorite places to eat in Cincinnati. Service was very friendly and food arrived to the table quickly. The chicken was excellent and the spicy honey very nice (and I don't like honey). The sides of mac and cheese and collard greens were fantastic--as good as the chicken if not better. A wonderful place.

This place is one of my favorites in not only OTR but in Cincinnati as well. Don't think of this place as a fried chicken place because it is so much more.

Yes, there chicken is phenomenal but they also excel in every other category. If you go with a group I highly recommend splitting the sides because they are all amazing. I'd reccomend trying the sweet potato marshmallow bake, Mac and cheese bake, and the corn bread casserole . Also the long islands are good and the bloody Marys look great even though I don't like bloody Marys .

Overall, you need to make at least one trip here. However, plan ahead because there will be a wait no matter the time or day of the week.

Great macaroni and cheese along with tender white meat chicken.  The honey sauce that came with the chicken was good but a little spicy for my liking.  Beer comes in giant glasses.

After kicking it at the new Arcade, a few people from the group were hungry so we went to The Eagle OTR.

Again, with a mouth full of metal, I could only eat so much, and I did NOT want any fried chicken, but the others did.

I settled in on something soft and bad for me: Mac and Cheese and Spoonbread! Loved it! I did have a couple of bites of someone's chicken. Pretty good stuff!

Had some Ginger Ale to wash it down.

Next time, I'll go in hard on the chicken..I was just squeamish at the time..

This place continues to be very popular even after months of being open - but who can blame them. The food is great from its' appetizers to the sandwiches to the sides. You cannot go wrong with any thing you order. Sometimes it seems like my eyes are bigger than my stomach because I want it all. 

I recommend going with a group of 4 people so you can share the sides - they are so hard to choose because they are all delicious. 

My favorites are the crunchy hominy for the appetizer, fried chicken sandwich with a side of spoonbread (cornbread) and mac and cheese. 

If you like Bloody Mary's, then The Eagle as my top 3 all-time favorite bloody mary that is garnished with a slice of bacon, olives, and celery.

Food was great, but the restaurant was so small for the popularity of its food, that the wait was not worth it. Will only come back if on an off night, but not sure they have off nights....

Absolutely loved it!. Went for the first time last night, had the best restaurant experience I can remember! The atmosphere was amazing- even the other customers werefriendly and talkative! Our waitress was amazingly helpful! ...And have you ever been somewhere else that recommends bacon as an appetizer? I hadn't! (But it was worth it!)

The sides are massive and I think I'll be eating what I took home for the next two days, but damn if its not still delicious! I have every intention of going back- and soon. Table for two, please! It'll be just me and my stomach~

Finally got a table at the Eagle. Ended up going for a late lunch with my coworkers. Had the chicken sandwich with greens & macaroni & cheese. By far one of the best meals I’ve had out in a long time. Every bit was perfect, like the food is made from love and pixies in the back.

Fun Place, Long Wait, Spicy Food. Tried the Eagle OTR on a Sunday afternoon at 3PM thinking it would be less crowded and I guess it was relatively speaking. Still a 45 minute wait list. They do a good job bussing tables promptly, but then the cleared tables sit empty for too long. Frustrating to see that when you are waiting. This compounds not having a lot of tables in the first place. A word of caution on the fried chicken sandwich, while it is big and tasty if you are sensitive to spicy food get something else. Really liked the "spoon bread". The Bloody Mary's are crazy good. Prices are very reasonable and the servers are very nice.

Great Fried Chicken. All the negative reviews seem to reinforce the fact that this place is so popular that you can't get in. Going early in the day or knowing how to time your visit is key. The Fried Chicken is what makes this place exceptional. It comes with spicy honey which adds the perfect sweet zing to each bite. The sides are very good as well. The Mac & Cheese is absolutely delicious. Collards are definitely a pleasant surprise. I also recommend the Chopped Salad for a change of pace. I've really not tried anything I didn't find pleasing to the palette. I feel lucky that so many delicious restaurants have popped up on Vine St since moving here. This is definitely one of them.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in OTR. It's a great place for lunch or dinner with friends. My personal favorites are splitting a chicken with a friend and then getting a bunch of sides. There is enough of each side for two people to split family-style if you get a decent amount of chicken. They have some of the best Mac n Cheese I've ever had as well as some great spoonbread. The only negative thing is the wait! Go a little while before you plan on wanting to eat and put your name on the list - you could end up waiting anywhere between 1-2 hours for a table and there is no call ahead seating. There are several little shops you can enjoy in the area while you wait and they will text you when your table is ready! The staff and service are also always top-notch.

Very Good, skip the bacon. The chicken was amazing: crisp skin, not too greasy, and good seasoning. I tried the honey sauce and it was good, but the chicken doesn't need anything. The grits are excellent and so is the macaroni and cheese. I LOVE bacon and ordered that, but it is not hot and tasted a bit old.

Wonderful fried chicken and service. My friend and I came for lunch, as I figured that was the only way to avoid a 2 hour wait, which I had found whenever I inquired here in the evenings. We got there about 11:40 am and were seated right away. The service was consistently enthusiastic, friendly and excellent. I ordered a half fried chicken and my friend ordered a quarter fried chicken. We split the mac 'n cheese and spoonbread (cornbread) side dishes. The side dishes were very good. The fried chicken was spectacular--tender at the right places and crispy at the right places. The food was great and the staff hustled and acted like they cared about how we enjoyed the food and our experience there. I couldn't ask for more.

Absolutely Perfect. It doesn't get better than this place. The atmosphere is very hip, comfortable, and cozy. The menu is pretty simple, but the dishes are complex in flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, sweet potato crock, mac and cheese. The chicken was so good I actually ate the skin, which is something I haven't done in over 10 years, so that's saying something! I did feel a twinge of guilt eating the sweet potato crock, it's sinfully divine. Couple that with great customer service and there is no reason not to return, which I will. I told myself I wouldn't take a picture of my food, but after a few bites I felt the need to document this moment, lol. Don't judge me!

Great everytime, always busy.. Another great spot to pop up in OTR. Really affordable food, great hand-crafted cocktails and a good atmosphere. There is always a long wait and they don't take reservations, so plan on getting there early to put your name in. By about 6pm, you're looking at a 2-3 hour wait, easily. The sweet potatoes, cornbread, mac and cheese, pickles, chicken.. its all so good. Never had a bad experience in this place.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Was initially turned off on a Sunday by a long wait and some snotty service by both the greeters and bar staff. However the fried chicken here turned out to be ridiculous. I've had the best chicken in the south and this cranks it up a notch with a little spice. If quality cuisine is what you're after, then eagle is a must-stop.

In it for the chicken.... This is definitely the place you go when craving AMAZING fried chicken. Whether in sandwich or standalone form, it is delicious with flavorful (but not overwhelming) breading fried to a nice crunch. Their Bloody Mary is entirely too heavy handed on the horseradish, but the food more than makes up for it. The Spoon Bread is a must have!!!!

I've been there twice. The food was very good and a decent value. But I'm not sure if I'll be back due to the noise level. Each time every one complained including the twenty something's at the table next to us. And they are supposed to have a tolerance to that. Even the server agreed it was loud (she never turned the music down as she said). I just don't get it- especially on a Sunday night( which is when I got a 90 + decibel reading).

So you're probably reading these comments thinking, so will it live up to the hype? I have to say absolutely yes it does. It is going to be a long wait for a table, go put your name in and give them your cell number, go grab a drink at Lackman, or somewhere and hang out, soon enough it'll be time to eat a glorious meal. The chicken is amazing. Hands down the best I have ever had, and the spicy honey makes my mouth water. The sides are delicious try as many as you can, particularly the collard greens and homany. Go give it a try and enjoy.

Great atmosphere and good variety of local brew. Fried chicken has a bit of a spice to it but just enough to add to the flavor. Bacon with brown sugar is a bit sweet but tastes as advertised.

Definitely not "just ok" at this price.. The chicken sandwich is about as good as a chicken sandwich can get. Great mixture of ingredients and flavor. Add the mac and cheese or fries and this place is a great casual stop for really good bar food.

I recommend sticking to the chicken sandwich as your main order, it is twice as good as the other items and the reason I am defending this place.

It's salty, which is unfortunate. I do wonder why OTR restaurants insist on shoveling salt onto all their food. A bit is OK. Anyway, again, this place is still really good. I simply hope to see a salt reduction in OTR hipster food.

I look forward to the day I can go to dinner in OTR and not leave feeling tired and creaky, which I believe is largely due to salt content. It is simply unnecessary.

Fried Awesome. The Eagle Food and Beer Hall is a major hit. The menu is simple, but everything we had ordered was a treat. Let's start with the main attraction, the Fried Chicken. The Chicken is crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside. The spicy honey sauce that accompanies the chicken just molds the flavors on your tongue into a sweet and spicy array of cuddly puppies and fluffy clouds (I have no other way to explain it)

The sides were tremendous as well, such as the spoonbread, which we had to go with two servings each. The succotash was tremendous and offered just the right blend of crisp vegetables and soft beans with a smidgen of spices. The sweet potatoes were, well, sweet and had a bit of a smoky flavor to them.

The one knock on this place is the long wait to get in and the family style seating with strangers. I don't mind that too much, but when I pig out, I really pig out and would like a little more space to do so. The wait was long, but in the end, definitely worth it.

Great food....Great atmosphere. This place was just fantastic. My party ordered the bacon appetizer, the fried chicken sandwich, fries, and a french dip sandwiches. I don't remember the drinks that we ordered, but they were all excellent.

Everything we had was great, but I thought the french dip sandwich was as good as any sandwich that I've ever had. They make their own horseradish sauce which complimented the french dip perfectly.

The chicken is the best thing on the menu by far. I have been there a few times now and I have to say most of the items that aren't chicken are just okay with an exceptions. The collard greens are pretty below average not much flavor. The mac n cheese was okay but not hot enough and the cheese was too think. The spoonbread was far too dry so I had to use the spicy honey for the chicken to make it tolerable. Now the bacon on the other had was very tasty and good and sticky.

They have the perfect chicken dish I think a nice 8 piece dark meat option. I thought the chicken was perfectly greasy and had good crispy skin. the honey mentioned earlier was a nice compliment to the bird.

Love the chalice for the high life and a very nice beer selection. I also appreciated the depth of the bar when eating. It gives you plenty of room to move plates around and enjoy yourself.

Nice Addition to OTR. The Eagle is a nice addition to OTR, offering another selection to an area quickly becoming crowded with great restaurants. They feature excellent Amish-raised fried chicken, and complete the menu with an assortment of great sandwiches and soul food side dishes. We especially enjoyed the spoonbread—sweet corn bread cooked in a cast iron dish with maple butter baked in—and the collards. Also of note are the great alcoholic drinks served up at the bar. There is a smattering of unique cocktails and craft beers, and $2 Miller High Life served in a chalice. We will certainly be back.

The Eagle is exactly what the name proclaims…it’s a beer hall in a building that was formerly a post office, complete with a golden eagle statue near the hostess stand, a block of bronzed post office boxes, and a giant mural of a bald eagle painted on the wall. It’s a bit of a darker atmosphere, with a large U-Shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant, leather booths, and wood ceiling and wall panels made from reclaimed wood...

I’ve always been a smidgen odd. I was the girl, kicking daisies in the outfield, instead of catching the fly balls.–> Is that what they’re called? My nose was always in a book, even when it should have been in a TEXT book. My imagination is forever in extreme overload. So, I tend to buck the trendy. A lot of the foodies have flocked to The Eagle Food and Beer Hall in OTR (There is no website. Sorry. I know, I hate it, too) and have already reported back. I, however, wanted to hate it. But, I’ll have to admit the food sucked me in. I took some pics of the menu for you. Go ahead. Thank me. Do you see that? 2 columns. I can let go and breathe a sigh of relief. Simplicity at its finest. However, like I’ve said before…if your menu’s limited, you better bring it. (They had a crapton of craft beer – a couple of pages) We got there at 5:30 on a Saturday. Yes, we knew it was going to be crazy crowded. I told the husband to hurry his ass up, in the shower, but he wouldn’t listen. Our wait, for 3

This place was so good!!! I’m sad we don’t live in Cincinnati so we can eat here more often. We started with the spicy chicken dip and it was spicy and creamy and delicious. The Chicken BLT sandwich was AMAZING and the fries with comeback sauce made me so happy. My husband had the 1/4 chicken with collard greens. He loved it with the hot honey. The atmosphere is fun and our server Carlee was FANTASTIC! She was super friendly and made great suggestions. Definitely go here!!!

Who doesn’t love fried chicken? My partner is vegetarian and she’s excited to come with me for the kale salad. The Eagle is one of my go-to safe places to take people from out of town. Get the fried chicken, of course, with hot honey. All the sides are great and a good size for sharing. The mac and cheese is award winning. Fries are good. Corn bread is good. Be prepared for a wait if you arrive without a reservation during busy dinner hours.

This was my first time dining at this establishment, and I was enthralled with the service and the food. Everything was piping hot, fresh, and simply DELICIOUS. I'm a sucker for some hush puppies, and these are (no joke) probably the best I've ever had in my life. The grilled cheese was made with apples which added such a depth of flavor with the cheeses. The fries were garlicky and served in a large portion. The spoon bread was fantastic as a stand alone, but when paired with the tobasco honey sauce, it's out of this world. Our server was fantastic, attentive, and full of energy!

First off, let me say that the atmosphere of this cute little place was exceptional, as was the service!! We ate out front on the patio, which was lovely! Our super sweet server, named Peyton, was excellent! Very friendly, informative and always checking in with us periodically to see if we needed anything. We tried several dishes while dining here. We had the whole chicken(which consisted of 8 pieces: 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs), spoon bread with maple butter, fries with aioli, and the biscuits with blackberry jam and honey butter. Let’s start with the chicken, it was juicy and tasted good. I wouldn’t say it was extraordinary, I’ve had way better, but it was good. The spicy honey that was served alongside was pretty tasty though! The spoon bread was good. Of all the recipes I’ve seen for spoon bread though, it’s more of a soufflé type texture. This was more typical cornbread texture, but the kicker was that it had celery in it…who does that??? Kinda ruined it for me after finding that in my next bite! The maple butter was delicious though!! The fries with their seasoning were delicious. Didn’t much care for the aioli…it was much too strong tasting. The winning dish of the whole dinner was the biscuits and the blackberry jam!!!! Those were fabulous!! Could’ve done without the honey butter, it was not very good, and neither was their regular butter. Not sure what they were using, but they might want to change that. My hubs had two local craft beers that he liked; the 50 West, and the Sonder You Betcha! Definitely try this place out, especially if you love fried chicken! Very cool place!!

Shipped here for some late night dinner and it DI NOT DISSAPOINT! Some of the food combos might seem odd mixed together but TRUST THE PROCESS... the apples on the grilled cheese made it crunch and sweet, and the chicken club was INCREDIBLE BURST OF FLAVOR! If Mia is working SIT WITH HER she was attentive, sweet, and fun! She didn't push us out the door she told us to sit and enjoy the Cincinnati Street show haha.

I've been here a few times, it's one of our favorite places to eat when we visit Cincinnati. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. And the chicken is first rate. Great seasoning, flavor and tender.

This place was truly spectacular. I had never been to Ohio before, but the Eagle gave me the perfect first impression. The servers were super welcoming, and ours even gave us recommendations for what to see in the neighborhood. The food was the perfect balance of Southern and fresh, and the outdoor seating was ideal for the sunny day. Prices were great, too. 10/10 from me.

How can you go wrong with exceptional staff, phenomenal chicken, and spectacularly cozy, inviting atmosphere? My only regret was enjoying the food too quickly before getting the chance to take pictures. I ordered the 1/4 chicken (white) — don’t skimp on the honey — And my partner got the fried chicken sandwich! Both entrees were unique and top-notch. Even though they were busy, we had attentive, friendly, funny service that turned a rough morning into a memorable one. We’ll definitely be back with more friends and family over the years! 🫶🏻

Sat at the bar and our bartender was great! The food was perfect, as well as the drinks. I had the grilled cheese and whoa. The combination of sweet and savory was so good. Definitely try the French fries! I don’t know what magic they’re sprinkled with but they’re definitely the best I’ve ever had. 10/10

Always such delicious food! Went for my birthday, got fried chicken, Mac and cheese, succotash, spoon bread, sweet potatoes- all recommend! Some of the best fried chicken I’ve had. Delicious, crispy, and just a little spicy!

Had the chicken BLT, was very tasty. My wife had a fried chicken breast, said it was good, but the portion was small for $10. Shared collared greens and mac/cheese was overall impressed.

Listen up ya'll if you are in the mood for southern fried chicken and comfort food, look no further! The chicken is out of this world and the Mac and cheese is the creamiest I've ever had. You will not be disappointed!

My mom and I are extremely impressed with this place. We’re from Louisville and were visiting Cincinati for some other business. We were looking for somewhere to eat before we headed back to Louisville. Generally, we would just grab Skyline but we wanted something different and this was one of the first recommended places that caught our eyes our google and man, did we make a great choice. They’re chicken sandwich is one of the best I’ve had! Savory, crunchy, juicy, and the spicy mayo brought out the spice I love to see and taste in foods. If you don’t like spice, they add coleslaw to the sandwich to add the perfect balance to the flavor and spice of the sandwich. The mac and cheese was even better. Very creamy and the bread crumbs just added even more amazing texture. My mom got some sort of salad there and although I’m not a salad fan, it will be on my favorites list. Very flavorful. Not only was the food good but our waitress (Maya, i believe her name was) was incredible! She was super nice and perky and she was everything you would want in a waitress! If you want a good spot to take your family or want a good but not too ‘fancy’ sit-down dinner then I HIGHLY recommend this place. Although we won’t be going back to this location for a while, i do see that we have one here in Louisville and will defiently be going to the location near us!

Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had, plus I want the kale salad in 20 gallon barrels it's so good. Great service, Ian was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu Edit: forgot to add the photo 🤤
