Burgers were very good, pretty juicy and had good toppings. The bbq sauce was fantastic. Service all around was fast and very friendly. Nici, our server, was awesome.

The atmosphere was very nice and refined. Had the bacon and corn hush puppies. Didn't get much corn or bacon flavor, but the aioli was fantastic. The burger had two thin burgers, both had a good crust but still pink in the middle. Staff was accommodating and attentive. I'm bringing a crew with me next time.

First time there and it was delicious! We tried some of their cocktails and the burgers. I ordered mine with tortilla wrap instead of the bun. All of them were incredible and the service was fast, friendly and caring. We will be back

Great local spot in downtown Milford. They have great burgers and fries. I got the Streetcar Scotty with chipotle aioli. Highly recommend.

First time eating here and it was fabulous. The space is super cool, with a great lounge and bar area. Lots of comfortable booths outline the restaurant with tables in the middle. Cocktails and food was great. I had the Reuben sandwich and the sweet potato tots. Our server was attentive and friendly. There’s an art gallery upstairs which you can rent for events. I highly recommend and I cannot wait to come back.

Had an amazing lunch yesterday at Nation in Milford. My husband knew about the place but it was a total surprise to me...and what a great surprise it was! The restaurant itself is very attractive: industrial but not cold and drenched with natural light from a full wall of windows on one side of the dining room. The server was attentive but not hovering, and the food! Wow! It’s obvious to me that the kitchen takes its job very seriously, because every morsel I ate was perfectly seasoned to taste just a tiny bit different than any other bite you’ve taken of a “similar” item. For instance, the twin beef patties on my “Smatchett” burger spilled over the sides of the bun, creating just slightly crunchy experience along with a very flavorful chew. And the included-side Saratoga chips were like none I’d ever eaten before: not only were they crunchy and just a bit indulgent, they had been carefully seasoned in a way that made me stop and pay attention to their distinctive flavor. Then there’s the rich, eggy bun, which had literally been *branded* with Nation’s logo. This was all a lot more lovely than I had expected when we walked in, but hey - I’ll take it. I’m certain that if you’ve eaten at Nation, you already know what I’m raving about. But if you’ve haven’t yet discovered this place, what in the world is keeping you away?!

What's not to love. Friends and I are staying in the Mariemont area and wanted a good burger. We looked at was nearby and Nation got good reviews. We went on a Friday night around 7pm. We had to wait for about 10 minutes but there was a private event going on so maybe more typically there wouldn't necessarily be a wait. There's a nice bar with some casual seating as well in the bar area. The dining room is also nice. There are alot of TVs with sports going on, so you would think sports bar vibe. But actually, we weren't really distracted too much by the TVs or the noise. So I wouldn't call it a sports bar per se. Our server, Brian, was top notch. On top of refills and clearing plates. Friendly and personable. You could tell staff enjoyed working there. Now the food. We got wings and corn/bacon hush puppies. The Memphis BBQ Wings. Amazing. But those hush puppies. Man so so good. I've never had hush puppies that good. I would come back just for that. We all got burgers. I got their version of a BBQ burger and totchos. Also, so good. Already in my top 5 burgers. Whenever we're in the area this restaurant will be on our must do list. GREAT job in every area.

Great burgers in a fun home town feel setting. Try the cheese curds! Make sure you get chili or cheese on your fries because they have fake ketchup.
