While Vine St. in downtown Cincinnati is hardly a scene out of The Andy Griffith Show, a fresh take on Americana cuisine is trying to bring a little Opie to your lunch. Mayberry, the new sitdown restaurant from the gourmands behind Findlay Market’s World Food Bar, opened for business this week at 915 Vine.  

Owners Joshua Campbell and Corey Wietmarschen are serving classy but casual breakfast and lunch dishes that surprise with “simplicity and price.” Sandwiches, salads, and lunch entrees are $7-$8, not too shabby.

You can catch a bite at Mayberry Mon.-Fri. from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Maybe with enough pestering (something the BuyCincy staff excels at) we can get them to open for weekend brunch.  

Here’s the opening menu:
