Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Unexpected Burger's & Bourbon @ Kinley Hotel offers a "nice atmosphere" with friendly staff. The short rib eggrolls and brunch items, especially the "bottomless mimosas," are standout features. While some guests found service inconsistent, the location is perfect for events at the nearby Aronoff. A "beautiful historic bar" enhances the experience.

It’s in the lobby of a hotel. The food was ok and it was a Tues. The place was completely empty. I hope they have more business on other days.

Worst experience ever. Made a reservation for my husband and me and two of our granddaughters for breakfast before taking them to Disney on Ice Saturday morning. Arrived and was told they don’t take reservations. Ok. Need to order at the counter with a 8x10 menu in a frame. I have a 5 & 8 year old. Do you have a menu I can sit and look at with them since they can’t read. Finally got one. Went to sit to decide what we wanted. Most of the tables were unclean. Finally found a seat that’s clean and got our orders together. My husband goes up to order and they are out of pancakes and French toast and can’t make a breakfast sandwich. So we order eggs bacon and an omelette. And fruit. We waited almost 40 minutes for our food. The fruit was not fresh, brown in fact. The bacon was so hard when she put the plate down it broke! My husband said the omelette was one of the worst he ever had. So we spent almost 80 dollars and it was a total disaster. Never again.

The vibe was pretty boring since we were the only people there. Beautiful historic bar. The bar tender was attentive. We ordered vodka mules but they were not in the typical mule mug and too much lime. Bar tender made the 2nd drink better. Wrap didn’t have enough mayo , or any. Short rib egg rolls were very good ! Easy walk to Aronoff.

We went in August and perhaps this was one of the first times that they had ever been open before? The service was terrible and super slow and no one really knew how to make a drink until a certain bartender got to the restaurant. It was easy for us to get reservations on a night that downtown Cincinnati housed a very popular concert and now I know why.

This was an odd one. Food was great. Drinks were terrible. Bartender wasn’t there to make the drinks on the menu. The person who greeted us was awesome and friendly. The person waiting on us was not the best but really think he was filling in for lack of employees. All in all would go back again but only stay if the bartender was there to make what looked like amazing drinks on the menu.

Deion Webster was a personable and engaging professional so we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the bar! Food was excellent and loved the short rib eggroll appetizer.
