    Tousey still has the best fried chicken around. Always fresh and delicious. Our waiter did a great job.

    Was very excited to dine here as we are new to the area. My suggestion would be to use plate covers because the food wasn’t very hot. Tables are tight fitted in some sections. We kept being bumped into. Bread pudding was amazing!!

    Great atmosphere for dinner. Room was a bit noisy due to a large group but was very pleasant once they left. Filet was cooked to order and was very flavorful. Definitely will visit again when we are in the area.

    Great date night experience! We sat in the cozy bar area where there were clearly several regulars. The fried green tomatoes, schnitzel special, and the shrimp and grits were all fantastic. Service was great; thanks, Greg! We’ll definitely be back and recommend to our friends.

    They were very accommodating when I asked to increase the guest list from 6-7! Chicken breast was a little dry but the dark meat was excellent. Everyone else’s meal was very good. I highly recommend the fried walleye. Server was awesome!

    This was our first visit to the Tousey House Tavern, and it won't be our last. We loved the layout and decor of the house; the service and the servers were fabulous, and our meal was incredible. I had the fried chicken and mashed potatoes - some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. We're from Louisville, KY and were on our way to see the ballet in Cincy. This was an unexpected surprise - the Tavern is a gem and we'll make sure to visit again the next time we're in Northern Kentucky. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

    I dine at Tousey House on a regular basis. The food is always delicious! Today my friends and I had a reservation at 1. They close at 3 on Sunday. Our server rushed us thru our meal so fast! She brought the check while we were still eating. Then she immediately came back to see if we had put our credit cards out. She and another employee were cleaning all around us and even came to ask if they could take our glasses! We were hustled out as fast as possible! We walked out the door at 2:15 even when they don't close until 3. I hope this was an isolated experience because I normally have a delightful time there. The food was delicious today but I didn't get to finish my meal!
