Allyn's Cafe, Cincinnati OH

The server was friendly and helpful. Food was good. I wasn’t excited about the margarita. It tasted like it was made with mix. Will definitely be back!

Wasn't sure what to expect when we first stopped into this Col-Tusc staple. It has a diner atmosphere, but with a great wine and beer selection. Really incredible variety of dishes with great options for seasoning/spices/etc.
The kids absolutely love picking off the kids menu, and the prices are great.

Both of us had the shrimp four boy sandwiches and served one side dish for free with main dish. It's good taste and price. Also, we purchased one box gumbo and one jambalaya that each is $5.99.

I'm giving 3 stars because a lot of the items on their menu were not available because their new fryer was down and they had a couple other non-fried items not available as well. I ordered the red beans and rice with corn bread. It had good flavor and just the right amount of spice. Parking could be a little tricky during their busier hours. Our party ate in the Stein Room which was nice for a group. I enjoyed checking out all the steins. I would return again. Update: Thank you for the update on the fryer. One of the gentlemen from our group is still talking about how good his meal was. Updating to four stars!

Great that the restaurant offer vegan options. Dessert cheesecake was delicious not too sweet just right for adults taste buds. Cajun vegan pasta

One of Cincinnati's low key hidden gems. Great place for authentic Creole food. If you've never had gator before this is a great place to try it. I think it's like a weird cross between pork and lobster. Anyway, whether you go for the exotic meats or something more traditional, this is an inexpensive treat you can't afford to miss!

Tried for first time. Alligator from appetizer was very rubbery, Mac n Cheese was also very rubbery, shrimp n crawfish ettoufe was not too bad.

Allyn's is usually a fun place with good food. Tonight the waiter did a great job. Friendly and attentive. The chili for the taco salad was super sweet but maybe that's just how they make it. But the spoiled whipped cream and burnt creme' brulee can't be overlooked. Will I go back to Allyn's.yes but not for a while. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

Best hush puppies and onion rings ever. I also really enjoyed the catfish. My wife loved the vegetarian options.

Cincinnati icon. Great spot. Its doesn't matter what time of day the food is good the place is great.

I have a vegetarian and vegan to please.they are obsessed with the vegan chili dogs. I love the fried catfish.wish it had more pieces.

Can't wait to go back! So many different things on the menu obviously can't try them all at once. Service was excellent waitresses was very knowledgeable about the menu I definitely must go!

Not a lot if options for Cajun food in the area and Allyn's does a decent job with it. Live music is a nice bonus.

Excellent alligator, they have a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. Prices are reasonable and looking forward to going back with the family.

This place was amazing. My wife is vegan and we tend to really struggle with food options. The variety was incredible for both her and I. I felt like this place was the best of both worlds and a perfect location!

Best Tex/Mex restaurant in the city. Try their chicken and sausage jambalaya. Allan is a great chef regardless of what he is preparing, and a nice guy too.

Vegan burger made in house. Unbelievable choices on the menu, it is vegan friendly and has a ton of more options for anyone seeking some cajun food. They also have a great beer selection for those who enjoy craft beers.

Can I give this place more stars? ! When I want a great meal I head to Allyn’s! Their vegan options are to die for and I’m not even a vegan. Do yourself a favor and have the vegan chili before diving into your entree!

I came in for my girlfriend's graduation and waited over an hour for 10 chicken wings the only thing that was good about the meal were the fries, the food was cold and the ranch was watered down and the coleslaw was room temperature. As we were getting our check one and a half hours later the rest ofhe food still wasn't out. Never coming back to this yuppie dump.

Was a terrible experience. Waited almost 15 minutes for someone to take drink order then over 45 minutes (when we left) for food and they were not busy. Won't be back there again!
