Tuba Baking Co.

We had an enjoyable dinner here and drinks.
While it is a small dining room, they have very attentive servers and the bartender was wonderful.

I had the cheese spatzel and it was wonderfully. Wonderful pasta and the cheese was awesome.

If you get the pretzels as an appetizer, be careful because they come out very hot (and very brown) and they are delicious.

This is the best authentic German restaurant in the city. It’s no Hofbrauhaus, but it will have to do (just kidding. Puke. No comparison. Tuba blows them away)

We came across Tuba Baking Co. while searching for food near our Air BnB. This restaurant is a MUST if you’re in the area! We consider ourself foodies and love trying new places/foods. This place was so good, we went back the second day of our weekend trip to try something else. A great place for German Comfort food!

Food:
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Everything is made from scratch and to order.

Between our multiple visits, we tried the: •Laugenbrezel with Beer Cheese (German Pretzel with Cheese)
•Goettarezel with Spundekas (Goetta [meat & grain] and Cheese Stuffed Pretzel with Cheese Sauce)
•“Toast Hawaii” Flammkuchen (Wood-fire Hawaiian Flatbread)
•Karrote Currywurst with Pomme Frites (Curry Carrot with House Fries)
•Schnitzel with Spätzle (Breaded Fried Chicken with Noodles)
•“Swabinatian” Spätzle (Cincinnati Style Lentil Chili over Noodles)
•Quarkkuchen mit Mandarinen (Orange Cheesecake)
•Bienenstitch (Bee Sting Cake)

They use a wood-fired oven for a lot of their dishes that really adds to the flavor!

Everything we tried was SO GOOD (which is why we went back the next day) but we enjoyed the Schnitzel with Spätzle, “Swabinatian” Spätzle, Bienenstitch, and Goettarezel with Spundekas best.

They are great with accommodating to various food allergies, sensitivities, and dietary restrictions. There are options for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans.

Drinks:
They offer bottled/can nonalcoholic options, filtered water, several German draft beers, canned/bottled German beers, a couple signature cocktails, and a small liquor selection.

Location:
Inside is relatively small with a bar area and three tables to sit it. It’s not loud with blaring music or TVs in the background; great to go and have conversations. We saw a few people working on laptops too.

They have a nice huge outdoor seating area with numerous bench style tables to sit at. Great for groups, singles, couples, and families with kids.

Very clean and well kept.

Staff:
AMAZING staff! This is a family owned business. The owners (husband and wife) are there all the time, both working in the front and back. Genuinely nice people. Every other staff member we came across was also amazingly friendly and helpful. They remember faces and generally want to get to know their customers.

Service:
Food was prepared and served in a timely manner. No issues with either.

Value/Price:
Everything was priced moderately considering what you’d get elsewhere. The portions are a decent size as well, so you definitely get your money’s worth!

Parking: Street parking available without pay. It’s not busy on this end of the street, so there was ample parking around.

My wife and I started with a couple of beers and one of their famous pretzels (best in town says we). We followed with a flammkuchen and the currywurst. Every bite was savored! We are going back and try more of the menu. We are lucky to have such a place to enjoy!

Tuba is awesome! Great food and beer selection, and even better people! The owners are so kind and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun slice of Germany in the northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. Favorite German restaurant by far!!

Amazing food, nice little beer garden and good music. Can't go wrong.
