The Eagle OTR - Chicken restaurant in Cincinnati - 1342 Vine St, USA

I went to The Eagle OTR by a recommendation of a friend. Great Southern comfort food and exactly what I’d been craving! We ordered fried chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, and spoonbread (skillet cornbread). The chicken was delicious and well seasoned and came with a spicy honey for drizzling. The cornbread was excellent as well. The Mac & cheese was good, but the sauce had a smokiness that I personally didn’t care for. The collard greens were good too, but a bit on the vinegary side.

The best chicken restaurant in the world!!! Make sure to get the hush puppies also! Fries, Mac... you name it! Never had a single bad thing off the menu. this place does not disappoint. Me and my buddies love going down! Bartender loves to chop it up with my buddy "tomahawk" always a pleasure attending this restaurant.

Stellar to say the absolute least. We came from another restaurant that had less than desirable service, my girlfriend and I were kinda bummed as we were hoping to have a nice night out and it started kinda meh. We went to the The Eagle we saw the place was packed and expected to have to wait for a significant time for a table. When we walked in we were greeted by the hostesses and ask how our night was going. We gave a quick summary of what had happened at the other restaurant, they apologized and said hopefully we can make it better. Sadly they had no tables, but there were two perfect seats at the bar for us. We were seated immediately and the bar tender came over within the first minute. He informed us that the restaurant choose to cover a free app due to the quality of care at another restaurant… insane. From there we just went a little crazy with ordering being blown away by the staff and their customer service. The drinks were on point. The food was stellar. The customer service? Absolutely outstanding. Ian was a fantastic bartender/server, their whole crew was on top of it from the moment we walked in. Will definitely be back. Oh and one last thing. The Mac and cheese is to die for.

The sandwiches were delicious and the sides were also good. The french fries were some of the best I've had and the dipping sauces were super good. I really enjoyed my grits and the sandwiches were tasty. I will say as far as value that it was a little expensive since the sandwiches are sold à la carte and come with nothing.

We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Food was all fantastic! Loved all the sides we tried along with the chicken. Our favorite was the fries with the aioli! So good! Our server was friendly but was not around very often and it didn't seem busy. I will be back because of the high quality food.

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!
