A unique and cozy restaurant with delicious pizza and a rotating beer selection, perfect for a pre-Reds game stop. Great outdoor seating area. A local favorite with good food and a mix of tourists. Enjoy a cauliflower crust pizza with a view of downtown Cincinnati. Some dishes may be hit-or-miss, but overall worth a visit. Terrific American dishes, including crispy pizza, and a wide drink selection. Impeccably clean, with outstanding service. A lovely spot with outstanding smoked chicken salad and fresh fruit cup. The perfect place to enjoy great food and drinks in a cool atmosphere.

Cute spot near the suspension bridge. Indoor as well as outdoor seating available. Menu offers a variety of options from pizzas to sandwiches. We ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza that we really enjoyed. Good amount of toppings and the crust had great flavor. I also ordered the fried bologna sandwich and it was ok....it came with coleslaw and pickles on it and I just didn't care for that combination. A simple fried bologna with cheese would have been better, in my opinion. The sandwich also came with a side and I chose the pasta salad. I prefer pasta salad with an Italian dressing base and this was more of a creamy mustard base. Again, not a fan. Overall, this place is worth a visit. We will just stick with the pizza next time.

Quick service and delicious pizza. Has a great rotating beer selection and a great collection of bourbons and whiskies available. Easy place to stop at if your on your way to or from a Reds game. Great outdoor seating area on a pretty quiet street. Cool name, cool vibe, cool people. Would highly recommend.

As a tourist my first time there. Awesome place! From the cleanliness, the quirkiness, the exceptional service that I received and the burger with home made potato salad was excellent! When my drink was getting low never had to say a word kept refilling! I would recommend to anyone, they had a menu to accommodate anyone. From wood fired pizza, chicken wings , specialtysandwiches and wide variety of craft beers. Wine or mixed drinks. Made my first time to the Cinncinnati and Covington area mostenjoyable!!

The Gruff never disappoints! I love the view of The Roebling Bridge from the patio I. Good weather or the inside when it?s raining. I love to bring my dog along, staff is very accommodating. Food is good, bathrooms clean.
