Locations: Cincinnati, Columbus, Louisville (2), Detroit, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Pittsburgh
Came here with my nephew and his wife when we failed to check the hours on Zipp's tavern and were scheduled to meet for Tuesday dinner. It is a regional chain, and I never got clarity whether the OTR location was first or latest (ed: seems to have started in Cincy). It matters not. The Eagle specializes in Fried Chicken, but everything else I tried on the menu was equally yummy. Great selection of local taps (and a few from elsewhere), and a real quandary in trying to pick the right sides to go with your chicken (similar to The Post in Denver).
Generally went for 2 sides - depending on whether solo or with company. As follows:
A starch: either mac & cheese, mashers & gravy or shrimp & grits
A veggie: either a salad, succotash or collards
(Did I say 2? biscuits don't really count as a side) Biscuits!
Their sandwiches are also bomb diggity: fried chicken BLT being my fave.
It's not often that a metro area has more than one top notch fried chicken joint, but between Greyhound and The Eagle, I never had a bad meal. Eagle is a bit more hip / young (and more beer / tap focused), while Greyhound feels like a place you might have brought your grandparents (and maybe drank a whisky or two).
