The Gruff - Covington

The Gruff is a staple in our home. We’ve eaten here so many times I can’t keep track. It’s because the do their menu very well. Their salads are bomb, the burgers are very good, I just had a meatball sandwich that was great, their Cuban sandwich is also really good. They just do their menu well, you’re not gonna pick wrong. Their pizzas are made in a huge pizza kiln too, thin crusts, and tasty. Very kid friendly place, good beer selection, staff is always friendly, can buy 6-packs to go as well. Parking is the only tricky thing to this place if it’s busy, but it does have a small lot behind the restaurant. Parking: Small parking lot in back of store. If that’s full, will likely have to street park a few blocks away. Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. Ate here with a 2y/o and a 3y/o and they had high-chairs, toys, and understanding staff.

Pizza was really good. Had the bacon apple. Sounds different but definitely works!

The Gruff is a great place. The atmosphere ok. The chairs they use are loud when. The room is and echoes when a person or leaves. This might sound like a silly complaint to everyone else. I'm just too sensitive to sharp sounds. Overall, the food was great! The server was attentive, but not overbearing. She pleasant.

Stopped here after walking around Cincy before the Reds/Tigers game for an early dinner. Great menu choices, something for everyone! Friendly staff, Julia was attentive and happy to help. Felt like we were meant to be there and that’s always great when you’re on the road. My daughter and I split the chicken sandwich and a salad and it was a perfect meal!

I’d never been here, but my friends invited me to trivia night. The menu looks amazing! I definitely want to come back. We got the pickle pizza special. It’s an unexpectedly family friendly place!
