    This is such a cute restaurant. It is decorated beautifully. The staff is super nice and attentive. I ordered the Huckleberry Lemonade and the White Peach Lemonade ($2 w/free refills). I think my favorite was the White Peach but they were both good! I also got the Buffalo Chicken Wings($9) which was delicious. They are not super crispy but really tasty. The prices were really great for the amount of food you got! I will definitely be back :)

    Met my mentor here for lunch and ended up staying for like 2 hours talking. The entire time the wait staff were friendly and refilled our waters, which is a plus since I know it can be annoying when people are sitting (but we weren't taking tables from other customers). More importantly - Oh my god the food is dope! We split the beef and chorizo meatball sandwich (with corn salad), and the braised short rib grilled cheese (with fries). They were both great but the meatballs were far and away the favorite for both of us. The braised short rib needed more of the horseradish sauce (which was basically just horseradish and sour cream), but when you got a bite that had the perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and beef (which they give you a lot of beef), it hit hard. Chorizo and beef meatballs were just consistently great, with wonderful sauce and cheese. They absolutely nailed both sides, with the fries being crispy and soft and hot and seasoned perfectly, without any complaints. The corn salad with jalapenos was super mild, with just a hint of heat, but a great blend of flavors with the creamy feta on top. Plus they have an extensive selection of soft drinks. I only wish they had a fountain soda machine.... Otherwise, all 5 stars!

    Boyfriend and I were offered a free meal after talking to the restaurant on Facebook (thank you Jamie) and it was fantastic! I got the Adobo braised beef sandwich and my boyfriend got the Meatball sub, they were to die for! Everything about them was on point! We will definitely be back!!

    Nice little healthy lunch spot by UC. Stopped by with a group for a work lunch and everyone was pretty happy with their meals. A lot of vegetarian and gluten free options, which was great for our group of mixed food restrictions. Our server was very friendly and drinks and food came out quickly and tasted healthy. I tried the southwestern bowl with added chicken. The chicken was tasty but the bowl was pretty basic and could have used more sauce, as it was pretty dry underneath the top toppings. Another coworker got the veggie and quinoa bowl with added chicken and said it was good. The fries were just ok, I probably wouldn’t order them again. The people who got the sandwiches all liked theirs. The cookies and brownies were both good as well.

    Tasty food, low prices, friendly service, and convenient campus location. Clever Halloween decorations. We went there for dinner before a Friday evening Bearcats FB game. It is perhaps a block or two further from the stadium than some might want to walk, but still easily within 10 minutes, and worth the walk. Clean appealing interior. They have no tap beers, but a very nice and inexpensive array of bottled/canned craft beers. They offer a good selection of wings (very tasty!) and my burger & fries were excellent. Update: Sept 10, 2022 Still an *excellent* choice for a meal, the restaurant was clean, the service fast and cheerful. Still among the best burgers in the area and prices that remain competitive.

    Tried this place after seeing it mentioned on Facebook. The food was fantastic. The chicken sandwich is meant to be a Friday night special but they were kind enough to make it for us. It was insanely good! The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and the sauce was delicious. I also got the poutine and opted to add the beef brisket - SOOOO worth it. Definitely recommend trying this place out. Rounded out the meal with a fruity pebbles rice krispy treat.

    Darling restaurant, excellent atmosphere (love all the art!) but those both pale to the food. Wow- the food!! The spicy chicken is outstanding, the adobo beef sandwich is like the best version of pot roast ever….. you must visit Good Plates when in Clifton!! Excellent pricing too. The community service of the restaurant is also so great that it makes me emotional.

    I came here with my family for dinner and the service was quick and delicious. The Caesar salad with chicken is amazing and with the Garlic-Herb and Parm fries on top it’s spectacular! Highly recommend if you find yourself in Clifton Heights or Cincinnati in general.

    Great wait staff, cool vibes, the food was good but not great. The sweet potatoes weren’t cooked through all the way and there wasn’t enough flavor in the brisket to justify the price. It was still a good time and I would go back to try another dish

    Delicious meal and great service. Fiancé and I had the Brussels, cold fried chicken sandwich, and Turkey basil sandwich. All were delicious and came out quick! Perfect spot for lunch. Highlight of the meal was the pasta salad. Simple. Delicious. Fresh.

    I asked Andrew if he would cater a meeting we were having at work and after like 30 changes on my end we got some DELISH sandwiches and bowls for a meeting. Everyone RAVED about the food and desserts! Andrew & Jamie are THE best!!!!!

  • 4/5 Nancy H. 1 year ago on Google
    First visit. I had the black bean, sweet potato, and quinoa bowl; which was very good, and the Brussels sprouts slaw, which needed another shot of vinegar. The server was pleasant, but the service was kind of slow for a "fast casual" restaurant. It's not exactly uncomfortable, but not the sort of place that induces a desire to linger.

  • 5/5 Wendy F. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly Recommend. This place is Awesome! Great little spot with super friendly staff and of course amazing food. They also cater!! If you are ever in need of a charcuterie board Jamie is your girl! Beautiful display built right there on the spot. Everything was so fresh and tasty, the guests at my party absolutely loved it. Go and Enjoy or let them bring it to you.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    I Love this place! I never had quinoa until I tried their quinoa bowl - roasted sweet potatoes and black bean. It was delicious! My husband had the burger and fries and said it was delicious too. The selection is great, service is friendly and prompt, price is average - $10-15 per a person with na drinks. I recommend this place to everyone.

    Why did I wait so long to go to Good Plates Eatery? As a vegetarian, it's a great place to grab lunch as there are so many options to choose from. I also love the drink selection. Where else can you get a Dr. Pepper Cherry Zero? There was one waitress working and she was just a delight. I will definitely be back!

    Ordered $35 worth of food over the phone and was ready in 15 minutes. The food was fresh and homey. Would definitely recommend this place as prices are fair and food is great quality.

    Service is great, and food is delicious and filling! The staff is so friendly, and they always play good music. Perfect place to go for lunch/dinner with friends:) Also, the plants give the restaurant a calming environment.

    Went there for a lunch bite and loved everything we had. My wife and I both had the good chicken sandwich and loved how flavorful and super fresh everything was.

    Good Plates is one of my favorite spots in Clifton. The owners and the staff are so kind-hearted and welcoming. I love that there are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. It's a great place to get affordable healthy food!
