This is now my absolutely favorite brunch spot. For starters we had Steve as a waiter, he was the best! The French toast skewers were a fantastic starter and of course loved the mimosas. But where I was the most impressed was with the steak and eggs! The strip steak was cooked perfectly and had a TON of flavor. I guess I should haven’t been surprised given this place is always rated having the best steaks- but wow. Highly recommend!!

Amber, the bar tender, was wonderful conversation. Food was spot on 👌🏽 Bread pudding AMAZING 🤤 Atmosphere was beautiful. This was my first time here, I will 100% be back VERY SOON!! WELL DONE 👏🏽

This was our first time to Blinker’s. We were both so highly impressed with the food & service. Jill was our waitress & she was very sweet & attentive. She brought our drinks & warm cut French baguette with butter. We had the house salad with the raspberry vinaigrette & the beef vegetable soup. The raspberry vinaigrette was superb & house made. I’ve lived in Boston & ate at many 5 ⭐️ restaurants & Blinker’s has one of the best steaks I’ve had. There’s a crunchy crust with a magnificent flavor & it was cooked perfectly (medium). We also had the chicken picante, which was good. Chicken was tender & the lemon sauce was perfect. We were too full for dessert. We will definitely be back.

Stopped in on a whim. The atmosphere is comfortable at a late lunch. The burgers are excellent and the grilled chicken sandwich was actually very good. So many times that type of sandwich is bland and disappointing. Not here. Worth repeating when in NKY

This place was YUM. Honestly? Best pork chop iv ever had. But everything was really good! It was pretty loud, so this isn’t really great place for a first date. Or if you can’t hear very well. Definitely a would recommend!

This was my second time eating at Blinkers and wanted to come back to bring my family to celebrate my birthday. Originally, there wasn't availability due to the large size of the party and my own procrastination. However, their general manager was able to accommodate our reservations and make it happen. Jill was an exceptional waitress and our food was 10/10. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.
Amanda Puccini
I really like this place and the service is always good. I've had to send my steak back on multiple occasions, but sometimes they really get it right. The food is always good here and the service is always top notch. I always enjoy their salads and Buddha bowl.
Ryan Estes
It started with our server, James. Ask for him. The atmosphere is laid back and nice. Bar has a decent selection of bourbons, other liquors, and wine. The food was all amazing and can see why they have won awards for best steak. Service was friendly, courteous, and prompt but never made us feel rushed. Will be back and making sure James is our server if he is working.
