Dunlap Cafe

Eveytime I go here, ITS NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT from the staff. They are kind and patient an are always smiling. Prices are fair an reasonable. If you are having a bad day this place will cheer you up!!!!! Now the food however. Wooooooooooooooooo something bout that French toast Sammie every Saturday morning gets me going. You can taste the love in their food. From the outside it doesn't look like much but don't let that stop you from coming in!!! Give this place a try you won't regret it!!!!

Where to start... I'll be honest, from the outside, Dunlap Cafe does not look like the most appealing place to have a 5 star breakfast. And then you walk in. They've clearly put a lot of work into making the inside very easy on the eyes, clean, and inviting. A very down to earth, hometown vibe. Complete with memorabilia on the wall and a mascot to take photos with! Let's get down to the food - Incredible! Me and my wife both had the French toast Sammie, which beat out The Governor and Goose and Elder for best breakfast sandwich that week. Let that sink in. Sherry (sp?) and Julie have been doing a fantastic job of keeping this place running! Sherry chatted with us when we were ordering our food, walked us through the menu and what goes into cooking up different dishes. She recommended us get Julie's potatoes with their French Toast Sammie, which are prepared each morning fresh. We were not disappointed! The French Toast adds such a great flavor to the egg, bacon and sausage; soaking up the flavor but at the same time not becoming soggy. It holds the flavor in, reinvigorating your taste buds with each and every bite! Seriously, this place is truly a hidden gem in Cincinnati/OTR. Please make this your first stop for breakfast/lunch!

It's a little out of the way but worth it - not a pretentious place like newer OTR but a lived in space. The service was great and the food was fantastic. I had the Hangover Henry burger with fries. The burger was Diner delicious - how a burger should be without any culinary fusion or distracting toppings. The fries were so good that no ketchup was necessary. I would highly recommend for a great meal and better bargain!
