    We were seated at a table in the first row along the river overlooking the Roebling Bridge. The location was wonderful! Our server was attentive in spite of the very busy evening!

    For a “Lager” house, I guess I was thinking more of a selection of beer, not so much. We tried some cocktails, not so good. The food, ehhhhh… got the sirloin… was okay, tender but, not much flavor however, I didn’t use the heap of butter on top and maybe that would’ve added some flavor. The best part, after getting notified that they were out of the cinnamon roll(my first choice), was the brownie sundae. The atmosphere was loud but, energetic and I enjoyed the vibe there.

    It took 20 - 25 mins for our drinks to come out and <5 mins for our food. Felt like everything is premade and the food just wasn’t… good. So many other better places to go in the area, don’t waste your time or money here.

    We frequently go to Moerlein Lager House before Bengals games. Normally the food is good and service is good. This last visit that was not the case. Service was very slow, our server didn’t bring out items we asked for, like salt. Had to stop someone else to get salt. Server was also slow checking on or getting more drinks. Overall it was quite the let down this time around. Will hope for better next time or will have to go elsewhere.

    Just decidedly average. The German dishes were good. The fish and chips and chicken were both undercooked.
