We happened to arrive at Rock Bottom when there was a 2+ hour wait. Luckily, our hotel was down the street and we waited out the time there. Our server was amazing and very accommodating! We each ordered flights based off of his recommendation and they were all delicious! The food was nothing to write home about, but we'd definitely go back!

The wait staff was pleasant but she should have been straight forward with information. There was no arugula in the pear salad. The fries tasted like fish...which means the reuse frying oil. We asked for a vegetarian meal. Fish tasting fries do no qualify.Decent beer menu.

Visited late afternoon in August for a beer and a late lunch. The staff was very friendly and food (impossible burger) was very good. We liked liked it so much, we brought back a group of 10 for appetizers and drinks, again Nicholson's didn't disappoint. Very good food, great location and friendly staff

We stopped here for lunch on our trip and were glad we did. We sat on the deck which was very nice and with the fans nice in a hot day. The food was fantastic and our waitress Gail was awesome. Attentive and friendly. Lots of options in that area but would recommend this.

Visited the Over the Rhine area today and stopped in for lunch at Kruegerâs. With so many choices in OTR, I was expecting a good meal and we were not disappointed. They are known for their homemade burgers and sausage, so I decided to skip my ânormalâ order of a salad for lunch. Instead, I ordered their spicy burger. The waiter said it was an 8 out of 10 on the hotness scale, so he suggested that I ask for the spicy slaw on the side. The burger was delicious. Two thin patties with pepper jack cheese and spicy pickles â very juicy! I thought it was going to be too hot after the first bite, but that was not the case â I just had to get my mouth âwarmed upâ. I also had an order of French fries on the side to share â they were very good, just the right crispness and seasoning. The rest of the group also enjoyed their food, which included the Lincolnshire sausage, a veggie burger, a strawberry salad with chicken, and a small kale salad. All the food was excellent. Service was also very good and efficient. My only disappointment was the draft beer list â no darker beers (stouts, porters or malts). Though they had a large selection of bottles and cans, mainly craft beers. Try it, you will like it.

Stopped for a quick beer and tour of the facility with a promise to ourselves to come back. Beer was outstanding especially (in my opinion) the porters. A huge walking tour group came in while we were there and that enlivened things considerably. The bar tenders were unflappable and everyone was served quickly and efficiently and settled in the enjoy the wide selection of delicious fresh brews. Next trip we will stay for food but we had too little time this trip! If you love history this is the place for you!

Once I saw that this was a "chain" restaurant, I should have known it wasn't going to be top of the line German fare. My first surprise was to find out they no longer serve red cabbage, which is a german staple and especially with schnitzel. My schnitzel was a tale of two cities, half of it was so thin it was like cardboard and the other half was too thick. The sides of potato salad and sauerkraut were just so-so.

Small interior with picnic table seating. Menu is written on a chalkboard behind the bar. Several types of sausages to choose from and good sides available like brussels sprouts, red cabbage, asparagus, etc. Many bottled beers and several on tap. Order at the bar. We took our drinks outside to one of seven picnic tables and the food was brought to us. The curry wurst and the mett were very good and a different texture than what I am used to. I would definitely order them again. This is a very casual place. I enjoyed my meal there but the place could be so much better outside. Where we sat was amongst straw, dirt, and weeds on old weathered picnic tables. Just a little spruce up would do wonders for the Wunderbar.

Traveling with another couple, wanted to find a place with a good variety of food so everyone would have something they like! This was the perfect place, they have a huge menu of delicious food, and daily specials. Excellent cocktails, great service, really neat atmosphere in a rehabbed part of town that has all kinds of restaurants, bars, shops, etc. This was just an overnight stop on a pre-planned trip, but we all plan to come back someday just to hang out in the Mainstrasse area!!
