Delwood is literally one of the greatest hidden gems in Cincinnati. Their food is delicious (get the BLAT salad) and their service is impeccable. The atmosphere is perfect for all celebrations - A dinner date, catching up with a friend, or even a family outing. You will not be disappointed with this Mt. Lookout fav!

They don't have a parking lot, you have to park on the street in metered spots and you'll be lucky to find one. The food was very good. The waitress was sweet and attentive. An order of waffle fries is $10 and we were led to believe it was big enough to share so my son and I got one order, but it was really only one serving, not two. I got a fried chicken sandwich, he got a spicy fried chicken sandwich. They were good but not quite $15 good. That's $15 each. I just got water which was very good (not just plain tap water). My son got a soft drink which our sweet waitress kept an eye on and promptly refilled. I left her a 37.5% tip so for $55 bucks we got one order of fries and a couple of pretty good sandwiches. We were hungry and it had been very hard to find a parking spot so we decided to stay and bite the bullet. The music genre and volume were oppressive. I would have preferred something milder.

Great little restaurant in the heart of Mount Lookout. Good food! good service! We really enjoyed the garlic aioli dipole sauce with the waffle fries. I had the chopped salad with grilled chicken, it was outstanding. My husband had the burger, he said it was good, not the best he’s ever had, but good. He was really diggin rtoday’s soundtrack classic 70s

Had the double cheeseburger, smothered and with waffle fries. The burger, special sauce, grilled onions were all good. We also had the fish and chips which comes with one medium ish piece of fish, which was tender with a good batter but should come with another piece like other places do. It could have been a bit crunchier too, since it fell apart when dipping it in the tartar sauce. Fries are solid and the dipping sauce is good with a bit of spice. The service was great, restaurant clean, and it is tucked in a nice little area. Parking is available for a fee, or you can just find street parking like 3 minutes away, so not a big deal.

Delwood has been a Mt. Lookout fixture for quite some time, and surprisingly, this was my first visit. It's a cozy place with a nice sized bar and great decor and lighting. Everything works and states "Modern American Diner." The food certainly lived up to the overall vibe. My date and I both had the Double Cheeseburger. The ingredients were fresh, high quality and well constructed. The burger had just enough juiciness to satisfy, but didn't overwhelm the bun. Very enjoyable to eat and absolutely delicious. The waffle fries were solid and the garlic aoli was delicious. They must process the garlic in house because the sauce had some kick to it from the garlic. A great sign of excellent cooking. I got an arnold palmer to drink with house made, fresh squeezed lemonade. Too few places make in house lemonade. This is a massive plus for these guys. I will absolutely be back so I can try more of the menu! Service was quick, efficient, and pleasant. Though busy, it didn't feel overwhelming. Simply solid diner vibes executed well. Although they take reservations for larger parties, I'd say it's best experienced with parties of 2-4. There's also same day call ahead seating, but no advanced reservations. Excited for the next visit! Awesome work.

As a Texan, we know great food. The burgers and chicken sandwiches here are sooo good! They have unique, delicious sauces to put on the burgers/sandwiches and are served with their sides. I highly recommend you try them, even if you get them on the side (like I did). I have gotten the burger smothered (sautéed onions) and it is great! Run to this place! You definitely won't be disappointed! Say "hey" to the manager Caitlin for me! I'm begging her to set up shop in Dallas or to ship to me!

The server suggested their double cheeseburger which was very delish. Also we had the Brussel sprouts dish for the side. Food and service were very good and prompt.

Good food but not better than other places. the crispy brusselsprots 8/10 are great crispy outside and a tasty dipping sauce, although some pieces are a bit al dente due to more of the stalk not cut off. The double cheese burger 6/10 is good but not enough to pick this place over others and for $14 doesn't come with anything, frys are seperate and the +$2 bacon only gave us 1 broken up piece of bacon. The $5 waffle frys 5/10 also have no seasoning and no noticeable salt only cooked nicely.
