Montgomery Inn The Boathouse: A Premier Destination for Seafood and BBQ in Cincinnati

Enjoying a Cincinnati tradition with friendly staff made for a delightful and memorable evening at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse. The boathouse offers a relaxing atmosphere with spectacular views of the Ohio River. We started with Gulf Shrimp Cantonese, served with hot mustard and plum sauce, followed by tender ribs cooked to perfection, accompanied by crispy Saratoga chips. Overall, it was a great experience.

Fabulous! Food scrumptious! The view of the Ohio River was magnificent! We dined outside on the balcony celebrating a 75th birthday! We had a wonderful time and was not rushed at all. Nice and relaxing evening for the 4 of us. You can dress up or come as you are!

I had a Daughter Dad day. I spent the day with my daughter went here for dinner. Great service food and atmosphere. Plus a river view. Highly recommend.

I could immediately tell why this place is so popular. Its deep history speaks for itself. I loved to sat by the window that I could see a calm and beautiful view of the Ohio River in Cincinnati made the atmosphere truly special. The food was incredible. The portions were generous, and the meat was so tender and juicy, honestly the best meal I’ve had recently. Since it was my first time visiting during a trip, I almost over-ordered, but thanks to our server’s thoughtful recommendations, we had the perfect amount and got to try a variety of dishes. I was deeply moved by the server’s kindness and professional, gentle manners. They truly looked after every detail. I will definitely return when I’m back in Ohio and will be recommending this spot to all my friends! I hope this restaurant continues to provide such special experiences for a long time to come.

The Boathouse is always a great place to go. They have the best views of the river and Kentucky. Of course you order the ribs if it's your first time, but other options like the brisket or porkchops are great also. They have a half of duck that is so tender and delicious. For desert I highly recommend the buttercake. The service is top notch, they know the venue and the specials, they are attentive and kind.

Food and service were terrific and we left happy. My only complaint, and it's not even that much of a complaint, is that our party and others that walked in behind us had reservations and still had to wait for a table. The wait was less than 10 minutes, but with reservations at a restaurant like this, there really should be a table ready at the reserved time. Beyond that, everything else was great. Will be back.

Montgomery Inn - The Boathouse is a great place to have a relaxing dinner. You can valet your car easily or park on the street. The restaurant is right on Riverside Drive and seating overlooks the river. BBQ and seafood here is very good and they offer generous portions. We were there a bit ago and had no trouble getting seating without a reservation. Although I would recommend it during summer and holiday seasons. My shrimp starter was uniquely flavorful as was my entree of broiled fish. The ribs and smoked chicken dinner were delicious. Served hot with fresh vegetables and thier own bbq sauce; tangy and excellent! This is a great place for special occasions. Business meetings and dates!

Attended a birthday celebration with a party of 20. Service was top notch. Food was delivered fast with no mistakes at all. Every one enjoyed their dish. It's been awhile since I've eaten there but will definitely make a return trip. Fish, chicken, ribs was ordered and it all was delish. Oh, and the river view, stunning, especially at nite with the lights glimmering on the water and lights in Kentucky.
