“Chef Shack: Where Burgers Ascend to Culinary NirvanaForget everything you thought you knew about hamburgers. Chef Shack isn't here to play patty-cake with mediocrity. They're here to rewrite the burger rulebook, and let me tell you, they've penned a masterpiece. My recent visit was a revelation, a symphony of flavor that left me wanting more (and maybe a nap – these burgers are that good).First, the star of the show: the patty. Crafted with a blend of premium cuts, it's juicy without being greasy, cooked to a perfect medium-rare that showcases the inherent deliciousness of the meat. Each bite bursts with rich, savory satisfaction. No dry, flavorless hockey pucks here – Chef Shack understands the importance of a well-executed patty.But the patty is just the foundation. The toppings? A chorus of culinary brilliance. From the tangy bite of house-pickled red onions to the creamy indulgence of their signature Shack Sauce, each element elevates the burger to new heights. They offer creative and classic options, ensuring there's a perfect flavor combination for every palate. My personal favorite? The "Truffle Shuffle," a decadent masterpiece featuring truffle aioli, melted Gruyère cheese, and sautéed wild mushrooms. It's a luxurious explosion of savory and earthy notes that had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about burgers.The buns deserve a special mention. Soft yet sturdy, they cradle the burger without collapsing under the weight of deliciousness. They're toasted to a perfect golden brown, adding a hint of buttery warmth to every mouthful. It's the little details that truly elevate Chef Shack's offering; they haven't overlooked a single element.And let's not forget the sides. Crispy, golden French fries, hand-cut and cooked to perfection, are the ideal accompaniment. They're the perfect balance of salty and satisfying, a delightful counterpoint to the richness of the burger.Chef Shack isn't just about the food, though. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a touch of industrial chic. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable lingering, savoring the aftertaste of a truly exceptional burger.In conclusion, Chef Shack isn't just another burger joint. It's a destination for those who appreciate the art of the burger, where every element is meticulously crafted to create an unforgettable culinary experience. It's a symphony of flavor, a testament to what a well-made burger can truly be. So, do yourself a favor and head to Chef Shack. Your taste buds will thank you.”
“I could give this place 7 stars if I could.Everything was good. The Salsa was fresh, Guacamole was tad spicy but was complex and satisfying, the entrees were fresh and somehow came out perfect. Decoration was cultural but not over the top. The service was very warm and homely. Everyone knows how to smile. We certainly left happy and smiling that we discovered this place.”
“Very nice friendly inviting atmosphere! Staff were so wonderfully sweet and accommodating to our small group that came just to support our friends getting married!”
“So I just moved back to Columbus from Miami, FL after 3.5 years. My husband has been craving the BLT pizza since we moved. We have been back in Ohio 6 days and have had pizza cottage 4 of those nights for dinner from the Powell location. We just stopped in to the Buckeye Lake location to have lunch with my mother in law, everything was great just like at the other location. They were busy, as expected on a Sunday, but still very attentive and the food is TOP TIER.”
“Waiter made the experience! He was so friendly and accommodating. Outside area was nice to sit and drink a beer with friends. Bathrooms are teeeeny tiny, but they work?♀️?”
“This restaurant is diamond in the rough! Small town restaurant with the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time! All the food was very fresh, good quality, and great taste! I got the chicken garlic combo, and it was a very large helping for the price! My friend got the sesame chicken, and we both got egg rolls. Everything was so good we will definitely be going back. Our waitress was very friendly, sociable, and knowledgeable, and she made sure we had everything we needed and checked back regularly.”
“This one in Buckeye Lake has become our absolute go to pizza place. They have been so extremely kind and helpful to us. They've given us a wrong order only once, and actually went back to the store, made another and delivered the right order. They're just so wonderful there. I haven't met a staff member I don't like! They make it so much easier for us when we have both been working and just can't get groceries, since we're far out from many towns. Not to mention their pizzas and salads are always fresh and top tier!”
“First visit, and definitely not the last. Had so much fun Friday night for Winterfest. Bar staff was wonderful, other patrons was very friendly and the band Crossfire was great.”
“From what I read Buckeye Lake Brewery opened on February 5, 2012. Nice little brew joint off the lake with an outdoor front table/sitting area. Loved the Blood Orange IPA. The bar itself only has about 8 barstools, but there are plenty of tables and chair along the windows and a few booths toward the Chef Shack food area. Which by the way has excellent food, the wings were giant and cooked to perfection. Loved the handcut frenchfries. Parking was on a gravelly surface lot on the side and around back of the property. I bet the place is “hoppin” in the summertime. ?TY OH”
“Good people, nice atmosphere, great drinks and bartenders. Come have a drink or more while you play pool, darts, socialize, or just drink by yourself beside the outdoor fireplace in the beer garden.”
“Wasn't crowded. We spilled a drink and she helped us clean it up without acting like it was a hassle. Food was really good. Place was clean. We could actually have conversation. It was nice.”
“Wasn't sure if I wanted Taco Bell because they started getting chincy on their hamburger and cheese. I decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did. They were the best tacos and nacho bellgrande I've had in a long time. The tacos were full of hamburger and cheese, just like a taco should be and filled the shell. Everything was perfect. I will be back and would recommend this Taco Bell.Staff nice and polite. I went thrpugh the drove thru, but the outside was clean and well kept.”
“Great staff and food. Just wish they would change online hours cause they close at 8 as clearly stated on there door, so why does it say 9:30? THEY CLOSE AT 8 PM!!!!”
“The freshest I've EVER had in my fries. They were so hot they were burning my mouth, and I mean that as a good thing. The staff were very pleasant. I always go through the drive-through here, so it's hard to rate the atmosphere. Overall, I've always been very pleased with this location.”
“Great people that allow you to help you out when your transportation craps out on you ?Parking: Well #Scab would say something but he passed away ? lol ?Wheelchair accessibility: They have that no ramp that leads to a ramp for those that are in walkers and utilize s wheelchair to get around.”
“We have loved everything we have tried so far. Everyone is sooo nice and food is always fresh. Its also always fun to go inside and check out everything on display ♥️”
“Have been wanting to eat here for years and now I understand the hype!!! I got the birria tacos and a smashburger, wowwww phenomenal. I will definitely make the trip out there more often because of this food. The three others I went with as well have been talking about it non stop since we left. I’d say it was a hit!!!”
“Everything I’ve ever had from Rolls By The Pound has been fantastic. Their maple long john is my favorite donut ever. The cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls are also amazing. They are a family owned business that prioritizes fresh products and great customer service. We are lucky to have them as part of the community.”
“I wish I could give more stars. Both the cheesesteak burger and onion rings were exceptional. Small townie feel with good service. Pizza looked pretty good also, I will be back to try ”
“Nice place. Friendly people. We make this a regular stop on our weekend walks around town. They have donuts made by a shop in Millersport as well as their own baked goods and yogurt-oatmeal cups. Everything we've tried has been good and they usually have milk alternatives if you can't do cow's milk (I can't). I hope they have long-term success here.”
“This was my first time at Big Apple Cafe, and everything was absolutely amazing! I ordered the Crabcake Eggs Benedict, and it was BY FAR the best crabcakes I have ever had! The sweet tea isn't too sweet, and was quite enjoyable! I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting great food at a really good price!Parking: Ample free parking directly in front of the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: There is a convenient wheelchair ramp close to the entrance, and the hostess made room for an electric wheelchair that my dining partner was riding.”
“Let me just say the service is wonderful! I had such a great time, food was amazing, and our bartender Mariah was the best! 10/10 recommend and I will be going back.”
“This is a very nice coffee shop. Their products are delicious and the people they have working are usually quite friendly. The only reason for a four star is it often feels like they could use an extra person or to working. If there are lots of sandwiches being ordered the coffee drinks can sometimes take a fair amount of time. Otherwise, a great place”
“Absolutely incredible food and friendly service! This was our first time at Hey Babes and we will be back! The hand pie was one of the best I’ve ever had and the brown butter chocolate chip cookie was out of this world!”
“I used to go here in my childhood, and I stopped by as an adult to check it out and see if it was like I remembered. I ordered a coney and broccoli cheese bites, and they were delicious. The prices are extremely fair, and the selection is great. The girls working there were very friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a small town dairy place, stop here!”
“Crumble cookies have generated an excitement for a great cookie. Every Monday the first thing I do is check the new flavors coming out for the week. The cookies are soft and chewy with a crunchy exterior. Chocolate base flavors are my favorite. Also anything unique, I have to try.”
“Went there with a friend this morning, Saturday, March 2, 2024, at 8:30 to 10:15am. I ordered the Ultimate Omelet with a side of bacon (4 pieces!) and coffee (hot and delicious ?). My omelet was HUGE and well-filled with "goodies" and my bacon was cooked-to-order. Only ate half. Leftovers for another meal. $10+ total. I'll be returning again! Only negative was that the industrial carpet was a bit of a mess crumbs wise! Needed vacuumed!Parking: Park in front and side.Kid-friendliness: 7 large tables that would seat 4-10+ people”
“Excellent food!!! I have gluten intolerance and I finally found a place that is beyond scrumptious catering to all dietary restrictions!!!! Service very hospitable, and nice seating area outside.???”
“Great experience at this cute, quirky little cidery spot. Easy to walk to from the downtown Granville hotels and a very chill, laidback atmosphere to sample some of their wares. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace upstairs as well.”
“Tried this coffee shop out while out doing a jeep convention and so glad I did. The coffee was perfect! I got the white chocolate cinnamon ice coffee, beautiful carmel color. I hate coffee shops that put more milk than coffee, coffee should blhav3 a carmel color not a white color.They serve food here, which did look good from spying on others food orders. The place was clean and pretty cool looking. The girls working this Saturday were very friendly. Will definitely come back!”
