San Jeanetta’s is owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo, Chef Dion and Tiffany Metts.
The restaurant started as a pop-up in 2020, with it previously located in Element Eatery food hall in Madisonville. Due to popularity, the restaurant expanded at Element Eatery into a permanent stall in 2021. San Jeanetta’s also is a food option at Covington Yard, alongside Hangry Omar’s Sliders and El Jefe’s Cubanos.
“Cincinnati has always been home for us,” Dion said. “We’re excited to put down permanent roots in the same community that welcomed us.”
San Jeanetta’s menu has expanded at the brick-and-mortar restaurant, with Dion featuring upscale comfort fare, such as blackened salmon, shrimp and grits and loaded mac and cheese bowls. The expanded menu also has “gigantic” chicken sandwiches, the owners said.
The restaurant offers dine-in, carryout and delivery options.
The owners said the restaurant space itself, which is the former space of breakfast spot 6 ‘N The Mornin’, maintains the “cozy, southern vibe” for which San Jeanetta’s is known.
