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.

The five spots listed below, however, are places I’d go back to again and again.
