Bender's Pub Grub

We have a new favorite place to eat! Great vibes right when you walk in (like meeting up with family), incredible food all of which is made from scratch with a strong southern flair and a brewery with a nice bar that offers a wide variety of drinks. We met the owner, Laura, on our way out who was absolutely delightful! We will definitely be back and have already shared this find with many of our friends.

Bender's is our favorite food at any brewery in greater Cincinnati. Even as a stand-along restaurant it would be one of our favorites. The smashburger is outstanding. Get the smoked slaw even if it's not listed on the menu. Very tasty. Friendly folks working there. Never disappointed with what we get from them.

We wanted to try something new and different, so glad we did. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which were cheesy and infused with smoky deliciousness. My son had the kids smashburger, very good burger especially for a kids meal. My husband had the wings with Alabama sauce. The wings were good, but I'd recommend getting the sauce on the side since it is a different take on wing sauce. The venue is also very special, situated right in the brewhouse. The bar vibe was very neighborhood pub, loved the atmosphere.

One of our favorite places to go for absolutely GREAT food! The smash burger is one of my favorites of all time and the hubby loves the smoked wings... He won't get wings anywhere else now 😂 Chef is the best!

Excellent quality food, minimal interaction with the staff, but very limited menu options. My only real complaint is that they need fountain drinks instead of cans and bottles, and they need to at least double the menu size. They're really good at making the food they offer, it's just once you eat there 3-4 times, that's kind of it.
