- CDChinah Dollz6 days ago5.0Best gold star in the city ....I hate the ridge location
- DCDouglas CottongimAug 12, 20261.0We got about 7 people took 15 min for 2 coneys if you in a rush I’d go elsewhere
- CWCathy WallaceAug 9, 20263.0I ordered a $1 drink online and saw where I would have to get receipt in order to get the drink for $1. I also ordered the $8 burger 🍔 and fries 🍟. I pulled up in the drive through and asked the lady taking my order about the $1 drink. She replied “I don’t know what you’re talking about. “
- BBBill BeschmanJul 30, 20265.0Prompt, accurate service. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious.
- KKKatieJul 16, 20263.0Its burger week in cincinnati, and gold star burgers dont miss!!!! 8$ burger and fries all month! Drive thru was packed making it a bit hard to park. I went in for carry out. Cashier was pleasant. And greeted people as they came in. The kitchen staff needed some direction and help.... very unorganized and working in slow motion at prime time dinner hour. The staff was confused on who ordered what ...online, carry out, drive thru. What was needed to fulfill the orders etc. My order was hot and fresh and correct. This team seems young and havent found their groove yet working together. They def needed more communication and direction. Im satisfied w my experience. And I will def revisit ;)
