If you’ve lived in Cincinnati for more than five minutes (or even if you’ve ever had a quick visit), chances are you’ve heard of Jeff Ruby. His Queen City restaurants are legendary and primarily known for the mouthwatering steaks. However, if you’ve ever dined at The Precinct, then you know there’s another star on the menu, along with the steak. The mac & cheese at this Cincinnati restaurant is some of the best in the world, and if you’ve never tried it, it’s time to dig in.
Jeff Ruby’s Precinct is a beloved, longstanding steakhouse in Cincinnati that opened in 1981. Housed in the former Cincinnati Police Patrol House Number 6, its history is evident, but it’s the building’s current role as a restaurant that gets all the buzz.

The mac & cheese must be ordered a la carte, but it is well worth the extra expense. It easily serves two (if not more) and is made with six imported cheeses and what can only be described as a touch of heaven.

This savory side is served in a cast iron dish, with a perfectly browned top and creamy, flavorful pasta hidden underneath. The exact recipe is kept secret, but it’s safe to say you’ve never tasted anything quite like it. After a few bites, you’ll almost forget you’re sitting in a restaurant that’s known for its steak.
