"I appreciated that, for all the hype surrounding the restaurant, they just serve straight-up comfort food that’s done really, really well - mac and cheese that isn’t just a big, sticky lump."

"Macaroni and cheese is the perfect comfort food. Here are 9 restaurants that make it just right: The Eagle OTR - Fried chicken begs for macaroni and cheese. The Eagle’s is a creamy blend of cheese and pasta, topped with crispy panko breadcrumbs."
"These were by far my favorite. I’ve never just had grits as grits but these were unreal. They smoked all other sides and the second they are officially on the menu is the second I’ll be waiting in line to dine."

"Perfectly crispy fried chicken and a jar of hot honey to smother it - this is easily the best friend chicken in Cincinnati! I also love their Mac n cheese."
