In the Carew Tower Arcade in Downtown Cincinnati sits Hathaway’s, an authentic 50's style diner that’s been serving up the city’s best burgers and milkshakes since 1956. Whether you want a stack of pancakes for breakfast or a club sandwich for lunch, this restaurant’s sure to please your taste buds. If you've never been to Hathaway’s, you're in for a treat; this is a timeless gem, from the classic rock-and-roll music to the dazzling retro decor.

Hathaway’s isn’t just known for their mid-century kitsch; it’s the food that keep locals and visitors constantly coming back for more. For breakfast, they’ve got American favorites like the two eggs with corned beef plate, featuring eggs, sausage and a 

biscuit smothered in gravy. For a taste of something south of the border, they’ve got the Spanish omelet stuffed with grilled chicken, peppers, onions and a side of salsa. Add bacon or sausage, grits or cinnamon toast to any plate to complete your breakfast or brunch.

The lunch menu at Hathaway’s offers all of favorites, from a delicious Reuben served with chips to a patty melt piled high with a quarter pound burger, American and Swiss cheese and served on grilled rye bread. If you want something more than a sandwich, stick with the fried chicken, served with mashed potatoes, green beans and a biscuit or cornbread, or order a hearty portion of spaghetti with meatballs.

For lighter, healthier options, Hathaway’s has garden burgers, grilled chicken salad and the yogurt salad, a house favorite that features frozen yogurt and a scoop of cottage cheese with fruit, nuts, raisins, coconut and apricot dressing. Finish off any meal with a vanilla milkshake or a homemade cherry pie for a final taste of that down home goodness.
