About Us
Ron’s Roost has been a cornerstone of Cincinnati’s West Side since 1960, offering a taste of home in every bite. Founded by Ron Larkin Sr. and his wife Olga, our family-owned restaurant started with a simple mission: to serve delicious, comforting meals that bring people together. Over the years, our dedication to quality and community has remained unchanged, making us a beloved gathering spot for generations.
Our menu features iconic dishes like our award-winning fried chicken, slow-cooked ribs, and hearty German-inspired fare, all made with love and tradition. We take pride in being a place where families celebrate milestones, friends reunite, and new memories are made over a shared meal. Our famous “chicken-mobile,” a giant fiberglass chicken perched on a classic car, is a symbol of our fun-loving spirit and commitment to making every visit memorable.
At Ron’s Roost, we believe in the power of good food and good company. As we continue to serve our loyal customers and welcome new faces, we remain dedicated to the values that have guided us for over six decades: quality, community, and family. We invite you to join us and experience the warmth and tradition that make Ron’s Roost a true Cincinnati icon.
