For three star Californian, try Montgomery Inn At The Boathouse in Cincinnati. This mildly expensive restaurant has been around for the last 50 years. It's known for its barbecue. The menu is so dominated by the tender. This place features great views. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This place features private rooms, brunch, and catering. This restaurant is good for groups. Some diners recommend avoiding the crowds.
Proprietor Ted Gregory opened his first establishment in Montgomery almost 50 years ago. The original was a bar first, restaurant second until he brought in his wife's homemade ribs and sauce. Customers raved...

This is a really relaxing place to eat becasue you sit and watch the river roll by. The food is pretty good and the staff are friendly and efficient.

The ribs were cooked very well and had a great flavor without the sauce. I have had sauce at many great BBQ joints around the country, but none reminded me of straight ketchup like this one. Take a sauce lesson from Corky's or any of the other classy Memphis joints. Saratoga chips are just slightly burnt thick Lays potato chips. Not worth 4.50 for a serving.

Ignorance is bliss. That's how I characterize the loyalty that Cincinnatians have to M/I ribs. Most have grown up on M/I ribs, and therefore when they try real ribs, the ones that are smoked, have a dry rub,...

It's a must if you have to be in Cinci. No offense to all the Ohioians out there but this might be the best ribs in town but if it wasn't for the sauce they'd be nothing to write home about.
