Hours of Operation

RIBS – when in Rome, do as the Romans. ...When in Cincinnati, you have to do Montgomery Inn At The Boathouse!

No restaurant is a better symbol of Cincinnati than Montgomery Inn At The Boathouse.

Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse is the most popular restaurant in Greater Cincinnati. Last year we served 800,000 people in style. That makes us number 22 on the Restaurants and Institutions' list of the nation's top-grossing independent restaurants. And that means we sell more ribs than any other restaurant in America.

Our world-famous ribs, our friendly service, and our striking view of the Ohio River, makes us a unique restaurant that you and your guest(s) will remember long after your meal is over. In fact, you'll find the only solace you can take in leaving the Montgomery Inn at The Boathouse is knowing that you'll be back soon.

Please join us and our ever-growing list of satisfied patrons like Presidents Ford, Reagan, Bush and Clinton; Elizabeth Taylor, Tom Selleck, Elton John, Pete Rose, Sparky Anderson, Johnny Bench, Andre Agassi, Arnold Palmer, Mark McGwire, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Bill Cosby, Britney Spears and, of course, our most famous booster of all, Bob Hope.

Sports fans, you'll love the upstairs sports lounge with sports memorabilia on the walls, as well as the autographed photos of famous visitors who have dropped by for barbecued ribs! So come on in and get yourself some ribs and watch your favorite team in a fun, classy atmosphere.

The hustle and bustle of the Montgomery Inn At The Boathouse is contagious, but not overpowering. For dessert, indulge in another Cincinnati culinary tradition: Graeter's black raspberry chip ice cream. On your way out, purchase a bottle of our barbecue sauce at the gift shop to bring home.

After dinner, stroll through enchanting Bicentennial Commons, a twenty-acre park dedicated to the citizens of Cincinnati in honor of its 200th birthday.
