High atop Mount Adams, a Cincinnati historical treasure has been reinvented to take on a new role in its 120-plus-year history. Formerly Rookwood Pottery, Porkopolis has arrived offering up appetizers like meatballs and stuffed mushrooms, sandwiches, pasta, meatloaf, and, of course, the namesake: ribs and an army of pork chop choices. The inside still has the kilns intact, which dominate the restaurant from floor to tilted-back-head ceiling. As with any building constructed during the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes, the inside layout is quirky and craggy, with tables tucked away in hidden corners or circling a kiln. There are three "dining rooms" inside several hollowed-out kilns -- actually, it's just a single table inside, but it's still cool to look straight up and see daylight as if you're in a chimney. A full, curved bar serves up happy-hour specials, and a pool table in the loft offers an interesting bird's-eye view. Where else can you shoot a game and drink a draft with a 25-foot kiln to your right?

    These are the best ribs I have ever had. They fell off the bone and were very juicy. The Jack Daniels chops were also excellent.

  • Great Steak!

    We've eaten here several times and there are two great items on their menu. One is the Filet Mignon. One of the best we've had anywhere. The second is their Apple Porkchop. So tender and juicy, not dry. The restaurant has a lot of interesting detail inside, especially the beautiful stained glass windows. This restaurant is owned by Nick's Chops and Chasers, so you can count on the Steaks being great! We will be regular customers!

  • Excellent dining Experience

  • Neat Landmark, Poor Service

    Review rating : 1out of 5   traceydif - 11/28/2005

    Now known as Porkopolis, this was the worst dining experience we've ever had. We waited over 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. Our order was only partially filled, yet we were billed for all the items, including those that were never served. At the end of the meal, we were informed only cash was being accepted and that the credit card machines were down.

    We took our kids home and fed them again.

    Walk in and see the building then leave and go out to dinner.
