(636)

Allyn's Cafe brings the spicy, fresh taste of New Orleans to Cincinnati. The restaurant has been a staple in Cincinnati's Columbia Tusculum neighborhood for over 25 years. At Allyn's, you'll find a great environment and eclectic menu with plentiful options for vegan or gluten free diners. Our patio allows patrons to experience al fresco style dining and brunch throughout the spring, summer and fal

l months. Allyn's bar is a great hideaway to catch any Cincinnati Reds, Bearcats or Bengals game. Cocktails we serve include an extensive list of craft beers, rotating taps, some of the best bloody marys and margaritas in the city, as well as a wine shop with wines sold at state minimum retail prices (there is a $5.00 corking fee for dine in wine bottles). Come on over to Cincinnati's scenic east side full of history, beautiful architecture and check Allyn's Cafe out! We're near the corner of Delta Ave and US 50, less than 10 minutes from downtown Cincinnati and minutes off I-71 or OH-562 (the Norwood Lateral) from I-75.

We are very sad to announce that our final day of service will be October 19th. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the community of Columbia Tusculum for 34 years - thank you for your support! Please come visit us in the next two weeks, buy a round or two for the kitchen, and leave a big tip for your server and bartender.

Our schedule for the next week will be normal with PM service only on Sunday. Next week we’ll be closed Monday and open for PM service from Tuesday until Sunday the 19th, our final day.

Thanks so much for the decades of love, Cincinnati! We hope to see many of you in the next two weeks for jambalaya, gumbo, and good company.

Shrimp Po Boy - hand-breaded fried shrimp, housemade slaw, Louisiana sauce, roll. This crowd-pleaser comes with fries or - our most popular choice - Cajun fries. The crunch of the slaw and the tenderness of the shrimp is a wonderful texture contrast. You’re gonna love it….see you soon!

Our gumbo is an all-time classic! Loaded with sausage, chicken, okra, and tons of spices. Pairs perfectly with a dark beer…or an amber beer…or a light beer! Haha, we’ll see you soon!

Gumbo, quesadilla, fish, Mardis Gras pasta, jambalaya….we’ve got a little something for everyone! We’ll be serving your favorite comfort dishes all weekend - see you soon!

Our jambalaya is JAM packed with sausage, chicken, peppers, rice, and a ton of FLAVOR! Come down and grab a cup or a bowl of this fan favorite, served with housemade cornbread. See you soon!

We recently completely redid our wine list,
adding some harder to find selections and dropping the prices on ALL glass pours! Here are two of the standouts - Red Blend made by their female winemaking team in La Rioja,
Spain. This blend is approachable with notes of cherry, strawberry, and plum.

On the right is Pinot Noir from Mendocino Country, California. Smooth and silky, this is a wonderful for fall.

See you soon!

Hey friends! We’ve got some new neighbors next door and they have a few parking spots on their property - those spots are for dispensary customers only. We don’t want any Cajun food fans to get their cars towed or disrupt any of our friendly neighbors. There is an enormous feee city-owned lot across the street and street parking on the Columbia Parkway cross streets. See you soon!

Our beautiful Stein Room is here to welcome your group! We feature over 100 steins around the building; one of the largest collections around. We’ll see you soon!

09/03/2025

Gumbo, Mardi Gras Pasta, Jambalaya….we’ve got all your favorites on deck. (Vegan versions of almost everything too!) We’ll see you soon!

Our Story

Here at Allyn’s Cafe, we like to think of ourselves as an eclectic restaurant with a Cajun flair. We love to celebrate the bold flavors of Creole cuisine, but still want to offer a variety of options for any taste. That’s why we serve favorites like Wagu burgers (served on locally made buns!), wings, chili, salads with scratch-made dressing, and plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Head to the bar and we’ll pour you a craft beer or mix you a cocktail, too! We’ve been creating memories since 1991, and hope you’ll join us to make some of your own soon.
