There are local shops, grocery stores, and butchers all over Cincinnati that are hiding delicious meals, just waiting to be discovered. These tend to be popular with nearby neighborhoods but some of these spots offer food so good it is worth the drive. One such place is located on Shady Lane on the west side of Cincinnati. Sullivan’s Family Foods can be called many things — grocery store, butcher shop, deli, even dry cleaner — but it can also be called a secret lunch spot that serves up some of the best fried chicken in Cincinnati.
Sullivan's Family Foods has been in business since 1991 and over the years has become a favorite neighborhood destination for all of your grocery needs.
As a small grocery store with a surprisingly large selection, butcher shop, deli, and more, Sullivan's is perfect for picking up one item or to do all of your shopping at once.
Sullivan's is conveniently located on Shady Lane in North Bend, which is great for those living on the west side.
But even if you're not in this area often, it may just be worth the trip to check out this little local gem. There's enough to do in the area (like Shawnee Lookout, featured here) that this can be one of a few stops.
