Montgomery Inn The Boathouse

July 4th 2026, was super excited to spend some time with the wife and have a awesome dinner. Today they was offering all you could eat ribs and I came hungry. Had reservations at 3PM, arrived on time and was seated very promptly. Had a great view of the water front. Service was amazing, atmosphere was awesome but unfortunately that's where it ended. Ribs came out pretty quickly and was astonished by how dry they was. Both racks between both of us. Server came back around and we asked if we could get another set of racks not so dry. Quickly came out with another set, same problem. After the 3rd set I was appalled by what I was experiencing. Seriously don't know where the ball was dropped at Montgomery INN. They have some of the best sauce in the business but sauce can only do so much so far. This use to be one of my favorite restaurants growing up and it seriously pains me to write this. Hopefully they find a way to make this place great again. My opinion of great ribs is either Pig Candy on Kellogg Ave or in Loveland "Monday only" also Swamp water bar and grill on Kellogg, they both actually take pride on what they serve. Management, please address this, looking through your review

Such a good atmosphere with great food the music and cocktails upstairs were great! The seating time even with reservations was a bit Long, but with the upstairs acoustic music and good view of the river it didn’t matter how long it took. We actually enjoyed waiting as much as the food. Photo with view of the river from dinner seat.

I have been coming in here for years. Sat upstairs outside. I was early for my reservation and they fit us in. Glad they did. It was a perfect day! Waitress was great. Customer service is always good here. The good was pretty good. The shrimp was a little dry, ribs were great as always the sweet potato was bomb. Thank you for the good dinner. I'll give the shrimp a chance again next time!

I get Montgomery Inn quite a bit from Doordash, and it travels very well. Always get the king slab with chipotle barbecue sauce. Its got a nice little kick to it. The ribs are tender and pull very easily. Thats the way you want ribs. Falloffthebone means theyre overdone! They make some mean mac n cheese with breadcrumbs too. One day, I'm going to get brave and try the pork chops. But the ribs are so good, theyre just hard to say no to!

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.
