A good meal is not difficult to find in Cincinnati and we've shared many of the city's favorites, both hidden gems and longstanding legends, but how about combining a delicious meal with an unforgettable dining experience that is unlike any other in the Queen City? Now do we have your attention? Relatively new to the Cincinnati dining scene and located in the historically vibrant neighborhood of Pendleton, Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey has it all - and even what you didn't know you wanted - and it may just become your new favorite destination in Cincinnati.
Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey has not only created the perfect, melt-in-your-mouth biscuit, but they've done so with a unique and innovative theme.
If you've ever been fascinated by the search for gold - perhaps you binge watch Gold Rush or grew up trying to conquer the Oregon Trail game - then this restaurant in Cincinnati will surely satisfy your passion.
Owner PJ Neumann, Chef Christian Gill, and their staff are the main prospectors, guiding you down a culinary path that always leads to pure gold.
This Gold Rush-themed restaurant is perfectly placed in historic Pendleton, which is reinventing itself, just as many did while exploring the frontier all those years ago.
The theme at Boomtown is far from cheesy; in fact, it is completely endearing. You'll appreciate the attention to detail and commitment to authenticity with everything from the staff's aprons to the rustic design.
Unlike the cramped quarters and ever-present enemies you'd encounter during the Gold Rush, you'll be greeted with a smile and a space that will keep your eyes busy and your appetite eager when you walk through the doors of Boomtown.
The restaurant is ideal for a family brunch, a solo breakfast at the bar, lunch with friends, a date night, and pretty much any other gathering you can imagine.
Everyone is welcome to seek the gold they offer, and the friendly and attentive staff will ensure you have a memorable dining experience.
The restaurant aims to create a comfortable and inspirational space where you're free to enjoy the delicious menu, drink offerings, and inviting spirit.
If gold were in food form, it would surely be a tender, flavorful biscuit - served in a gold pan, of course.
As a biscuit bar, Boomtown's menu is centered around this crowd favorite (and it's the best you'll find anywhere), but there's so much more to enjoy, in addition to the biscuits.
A golden biscuit, served with any (or all) of their four gravies, is a great place to start, but don't let your exploration end there.
The menu offers a variety of sandwiches, plates, bowls, sundries, and sweets, and you will have a difficult time choosing.
If you'd like our personal recommendation, start with the Yukon.
It's the sandwich pictured above and will give you an understanding of the talent Chef Gill brings to this menu. It will also leave you hungry for the rest of the options and you'll quickly be planning a return visit to try something new.
If the biscuits at Boomtown are the golden nuggets, then the drinks served through this creative bar are the rich river waters from which they can be found.
That may seem like a bold statement, but the cocktails, presentation, and service here really do make the restaurant stand out among others.
Of course, there is plenty of whiskey on the menu, but the Mimosa O'The Moment is the perfect brunch pairing with anything on the menu.
Although biscuits typically make you think of breakfast and brunch, Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey actually serves all three meals of the day.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Boomtown is closed Mondays. They currently do not accept reservations, but if you do have to wait, it's definitely worth it.
