Eat At Joe's ... Diner That Is.

In the 1990s, Main Street which borders Cincinnati’s Pendleton and Over-the-Rhine neighborhoods, between the blocks of Central Parkway and Liberty was a hot bed of vibrant night life, bringing all walks of life together.

Over the past few years, this area is in the process of seeing its economic renaissance which has yet to peak. The community of Over-the-Rhine has historically thrived on community togetherness, fostering a sense of urban unity.

Events like Grapevine, Second Sundays on Main and Final Fridays brings vendors onto the street and people to patron the many shops and galleries which brighten these blocks on Main and the addition of Joe’s Diner will do nothing but make the district that much more appealing..

The Bottom Line

Joe’s Diner in Pendleton serves delicious burgers and fries. Though it has only been open for a few weeks, this well-run restaurant easily handles a crowd, and has done nothing but please its customers.

After being a location which had less than positive reincarnations in the past, this recent incarnation of, what should be a Cincinnati landmark, shows promise, especially with is charm, appeal and close proximity to the new Cincinnati casino.

Guide Review - Restaurant Review: Joe's Diner

I predict Joe’s Diner will return to its spot as a Cincinnati institution in the coming years.

The burgers are reminiscent of what you would come to expect form a traditional diner, in addition to extra seasoned fires are filling yet relatively light, not floating in a sea of grease.
Though I am hard pressed to pass up a good burger, I recommend whole heartily the salmon sandwich, but make sure you scan the menu carefully.

There are a few uncommon delights tucked away that will be appealing to all who partake.
Dinner for two at Joe’s Diner with appetizers and a soft drink will run you on the south end of $20, but you can spend much less and still walk out very pleased.
