This Cincinnati Soul Food Counter Is Back Frying Crispy Chicken And Catfish, And Ohio Locals Are Glad It’s Back

Some places close their doors and quietly fade from memory. Others leave a hole in the neighborhood that people keep talking about for months. In Cincinnati’s West End, one small counter-serve spot fell into that second group, and now it is open again and frying crispy chicken and catfish for a city that never stopped asking about it. The comeback has brought back long lines, big portions, homemade desserts, and plenty of happy regulars who say they are simply glad it returned.

Jimmie Lou’s makes a triumphant return to Cincinnati, and it’s worth the wait

After months of anticipation, award-winning chef Jeff Harris finally revived his New Orleans restaurant Jimmie Lou’s when it opened to the public on Tuesday night. The prior iteration of Jimmie Lou’s opened in 2021 as a stall inside the Oakley Food Hall. It was the first solo venture for Harris, a Louisiana native who first made a name for himself as the sous chef at Emeril Lagasse’s flagship restaurant before heading to the Queen City after Hurricane Katrina. In 2022, he opened his Global South-focused restaurant Nolia in Over-the-Rhine to much fanfare — Harris and Nolia have three James Beard nominations, among many other awards — but customers kept asking when he’d return to his roots.

We Found 11 Ohio Spots Where Biscuits And Gravy Make Breakfast Feel Special

One Columbus kitchen calls its biscuits and gravy Frog Eyes. I had to read that menu name twice before it clicked, and now I can’t stop grinning about it. The wordplay doesn’t stop there. A Dayton restaurant skips sausage gravy entirely and pours Cajun chicken gravy over a buttermilk biscuit.

Crumbl Cookies may be closing locations, but things are looking a little sweeter for Jersey Mike's. The sandwich chain knocked Chick-fil-A from the top of the fast-food customer-satisfaction rankings, ending an 11-year streak.

Why is Jersey Mike's ranked higher than Chick-fil-A? Jersey Mike's earned a score of 84, topping Chick-fil-A at 83 and emerging as the new leader in customer satisfaction among fast-food chains. The ranking is based on 16,464 customer surveys conducted between April 2025 and March 2026.

This Cozy Indiana Restaurant Is Now Nationally Renowned For Its Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

The fried chicken here sizzles in 14-inch cast-iron skillets filled with hog fat. That stubborn, old-school method helped earn a James Beard Foundation honor in 2023. I love that a tiny Indiana dining room won national praise with flour, salt, and a bold hit of black pepper. No trendy sauces.
