“Can’t say enough good things about this place! My wife and I have celebrated anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, date nights, we’ve taken guests that are very dear to our hearts and we love it more and more each time. We’ve been served by Patrick and Nick and they are the best of the best. Can’t recommend this place enough.Dietary restrictions: I ate here once on a clean eating diet abstaining from refined sugar, the staff was very accommodating, and the experience was still incredible.”
“We have a tradition of going out for Indian food for Easter dinner but it got cut off during COVID. This year was such a wonderful return to a lovely tradition. The vegetarians and omnivores in our family are both happy—we got tandoori fish, saag paneer, Navratan Korma, chicken saag, and tandoori shrimp with a naan basket and the vegetarian appetizer platter. Every bite was better than the last.TLDR: Excellent food, eat here now.Vegetarian options: I love going to places where they don’t think it’s unusual to forego meat. 10/10 recommend!”

The dishes offered are unique and contain very fresh ingredients. Its obvious the staff care about the customers and whether or not you're enjoying your stay and the meal.

Restaurants by Cuisine
“We’ve been here a few times now and every time we try something it turns out amazing. I would highly recommend the ribs! The two brothers are always so kind and they remember us when we come in!! Calm and inviting atmosphere. The food is always plated nicely and the portions are worth the money! We will continue to come back!!”
“Great service and atmosphere. Food came out quick. The gyro was ok... a little dry and could have used more tzatziki. Hummus was good. The lemon mint smoothie was my favorite ?”

“I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for Koffee Paradise. My kids and I love going to coffee shops, incentively treating ourselves while doing school work/reading. What I have found is that Koffee Paradise has hit all facets in what a cafe is ideally like! First off, the drinks that were ordered were amazing! I had the peppermint white mocha, which was literally the best tasting coffee I’ve had in years. Normally if I like something, I continue to get it and so far it has been continually consistent. I also had their matcha and ube cookies, they were delicious and will be ordering again. My kids had a frozen hot chocolate and a summer mist, both of which were fantastic. If you’re into aesthetics, this place is beautifully decorated. The theme has a calming nature feel that flows well throughout the store with plenty of seating; you can tell this design was well thought out. And lastly, the staff have excellent customer service. You will always be greeted with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor. In this day and age, it’s rare to find a cafe that hits all these things in a consistent manner. But Koffee Paradise seems to be that exception.”
“Outstanding isn’t a strong enough word for the food and service. Incredible experience and likely the best dining experience that I’ve ever had in Columbus. Only complaint was the temperature in the restaurant. We were freezing for the entire two hours that we were in there.”
“This was the absolute best wedding cake we have ever had. Cake was so moist, fruit filling was the perfect accompaniment and the icing was not overpowering with sweetness. The cake was stunningly gorgeous! If I could give a 100 star review I would! Marie was incredible to work with, patient kind and understanding!”
“Parable transcends Columbus, we are lucky to have it. Far and away the purest single origin in the dontown area. Best atmosphere and baked goods too. They nail so many things here.”
“Mjomii has a calming atmosphere with very friendly staff and a great selection of deserts. We had the mango milk which was perfectly balanced, the mochi butter tarts which are chewy sweet/savory, and 10 macarons to try the different flavors. Mjomii balances flavor well, not too overpowering, like their name “subtle and enticing””

“This is a MUST VISIT in Columbus! They have limited hours, so check before you go.Sylvanna took great care of us. Scotty and his Mrs. made their rounds the entire time, refilling drinks and making everyone feel welcome. This will be one of your favorite destinations after just the first visit. I enjoyed the meatloaf and the waffle while my guest wolfed down a sandwich and French toast.If you disagree about this place, I will meet you there and fight you in the parking lot. It won't solve anything, but at least I'll be able to enjoy some waffles after you whip me.”

“Stopped here for lunch while shopping at Easton Town Center. We got there when they first opened so we had first pick of creating our bowls. This is a Mongolian grille so you can either order from the menu or create your own bowl by choosing from a variety of meats, veggies and sauces- whatever you can fit in your bowl. You have two options here- you can go for one bowl or the unlimited bottomless bowl. We went with the one bowl which was plenty. After you make your selections and fill your bowl you take it to one of the Mongolian chefs who will cook your food on the grille. The food here seem to be high quality and was very tasty. By the time we were finishing it got really busy so I would suggest getting here right when they open to beat the crowds and get to pick your food before it gets all picked through by the masses.”
“I recently discovered Layla's Kitchen and highly recommend it. Their food is very good, especially the butter chicken. They also have Nepalese mom's, and their menu is broad and eclectic with many selections. Lastly, their weekend buffet is also very good.”
“Amazing experience here! We sat at the bar and the food was flavorful, and lively. Sean served us creative, complex cocktails. I mean truly memorable. Think you've had a good mojito? Try one here. Seriously, any of Sean's creations will engage flavors in a rare and elevated way. I don't think I've had a better cocktail experience.”
“Incredible Sunday dinner with family! Elaina always provides impeccable service! Never a bad meal and always a “Post Mortem!” Thank you for always setting the bar in Columbus! We appreciate you!”

“Money well spent. Best tasting, best value meal in the city IMO. The service was unbelievably fast! Couple fun facts, don’t expect to walk in, have your reservation made. We saw multiple people get turned away (even single diners). It took me a month to get a reservation at the time I wanted (reservations online only). It’s important to level set yourself, you’ll need to plan to eat here. It’s also important to share you can order take out starting at 4:30 and will go as long as they can keep up. ( expect to go orders to fill up quickly and not be available later in the day). The only way you will be able walk in will be during patio season- may the odds be ever in your favor.”
“The atmosphere was so fun. I messed up and booked the wrong day, and they were so accommodating with everything including food. The food might've been forgotten for a brief second but it still worked out in the end. Chloe is a very cute sweetheart btw ;)”
“What an Awesome venue! I went last night to see The Daily Beans....the set up/stage was much like a jazz club...we ordered a margerhita pizza and highball drinks (the drink menu is a thing of beauty) 10/10 would go again”
“Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and incredible service. Working in hospitality I pay close attention to service and rarely am I blown away, but this was an exception. My S/O and I always decide on a rating at the end of the meal and this was the first 10/10 experience (we are harsh critics lol). I can't wait to come back when the patio opens! Also... do yourself a favor and get the gelato.”
“The tour was amazing! Staff were very friendly & the drinks were good as well :). located at 1025 W. 3rd Avenue in Grandview on the corner of Parkway North-parking!”

“Absolutely delicious. We tried the 45’s, the jalapeños, and the regulars, and they all were spectacular. What’s great about really good NATURAL food is that you notice the absence of processing and junk. It tastes better in every way. You’ll notice these are not your average dogs right away. My recommendation is to order two of each, just do it, because you’ll be sad when you run out!”
“The staff is amazing there, they are very personable and fun. The cook Rob is amazing. I go here at least once a week and it's always pleasant. I recommend this waffle house any day. Thank you waffle house team for being there and making my day every time I stop in ?”
“Haven't been to a Waffle House in 25 years! Treated my 88yr young Dad to a good time, great food and exceptional empty coffee cups skills! Not much has changed...except that pay, for central Ohio? even better. $26+/hr?? SALUTE. I'm seriously considering going back to my roots, and applying!”
“Ms. Honey and her crew are the bomb!! Drive 50 miles just to go to that Waffle House. Ms. Honey, Chad and Liz make it a great dining experience. And MAN CAN THAT LADY ”
“I love going here when I don’t want to cook. My favorite is the eggs. Nothing amazing about the taste. But I enjoy the atmosphere & the fact I don’t have to cook! 5/5 stars ⭐️”
“We were in town to check out the university and stopped in for a quick breakfast. It was busy but they were able turn over a table for us within minutes of the people leaving. The waiter was friendly and her service was great. The selection is limited but well made. The cooks shirt said "rock star grill operator". I would agree”
“The service was absolutely fantastic at this location. The food was out prompt and accurate.Parking: There were more than enough parking spots and the parking was free.”
“Appt @ noon, was a little clustered when I got here, trucks in the way waiting on doors, I was on the rdp side, easy backing, friendly unloaders, didn't take very long offloading, overall a good experience.”
“There were a couple of drunk girls there but the staff member Cassie handled them so well and she was such a sweetheart the food was fantastic as always will be going back ”
“I work 3rd shift close to this location so I visit frequently for their bacon egg and cheese on toast which is somehow so delicious. But the gentleman who runs that shift is definitely an asset to that store and just deserves a shout out. Nothing but professional everytime I go!”
“My cheeseburgers were fresh and delicious even though I said NO ONIONS. I did find a few on 2 of them. But 2 out of 10 isn't horrible. I'll go there again and see what happens”
“I mean, it's a White Castle, so atmosphere? But the crew was so friendly and engaging and accommodating, and the food was great in a way that only White Castle can be.”
“Typical IHOP in terms of food and atmosphere. What set this IHOP apart was the service. From the greeter to our waiter, they were all exeptional and went out of their way to improve our experience. Our waiter was especially helpful.Thank you IHOP for employing such great people, especially our server!Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids in the restaurant and they all seemed pretty happy! :)”
“The service was a little slow, but that certainly wasn't the fault of staff. They were very short handed, and let us know as soon as we walked in that they had 65 sliders before they could even start our order. They were very friendly and made everything as quickly as they could.Would definitely recommend and will do our best to go back (we're not from the local area).”
“The gentleman that unloaded us was super friendly and wasn't afraid to lol with us. He was also extremely explanatory on how and what we needed to do and to look for.”
“What an Awesome venue! I went last night to see The Daily Beans....the set up/stage was much like a jazz club...we ordered a margerhita pizza and highball drinks (the drink menu is a thing of beauty) 10/10 would go again”
“We always seek out non- corporate restoration. We found this gem and visited for brunch. The food is elegant but comfortable by just delicious. You have to try the breakfast mustard. We will return”

“GREAT fries!! It's all vegan; I had the chicken parm sandwich. It wasn't too bad. I'm not vegan, but I went with my daughter. The fries and pepperoni rolls are her favorite. Brought them home for my husband and didn't tell him they were vegan. He never knew the difference!”
“Took my son and I to try just stay for the first time I got you spicy dog and he got the All-American dog their service was amazing as well as the food was amazing I would definitely come back here and recommend for people who like tasty hot ”
“*extremely late post*My girlfriend told me how amazing she thought Lavash was, so I decided to give it a try with her. I really wasn't in the mood to venture out on what I ordered since I had been craving fish and chips all that week. Come to find out, they have it on their menu. I was not let down, and my craving was definitely fulfilled. I love hummus, and I thoroughly enjoyed theirs. My girlfriend had some type of wrap, I really can't remember, but it did look good. We haven't been back just yet, but it is on the list as a must return to. Keep up the good work.”
“We’ve been here a few times now and every time we try something it turns out amazing. I would highly recommend the ribs! The two brothers are always so kind and they remember us when we come in!! Calm and inviting atmosphere. The food is always plated nicely and the portions are worth the money! We will continue to come back!!”
“If you are a FOODIE and have been wanting Birria tacos, you have to come here! I drove two hours to get these tacos because I've been wanting Birria bad and they were worth the drive. Crispy shell, rich beef flavor, fresh onions and cilantro and the consomme is on point. Every bite was tasty, not bland like other places in Ohio, you can actually taste the spices. This is Authentic Tijauana style red Birria tacos like you see with food bloggers on IG. The staff was super friendly. The best days to go are Thurs-Sat when the Birria is available all day. Get there early because they sell out fast.”
“Great service and atmosphere. Food came out quick. The gyro was ok... a little dry and could have used more tzatziki. Hummus was good. The lemon mint smoothie was my favorite ?”
“This place is amazing and the staff is so sweetThe Cajun pasta & their sauces (not together)Mmmm chefs kissI don't even like fries but I got fries there at least every other week for months just to have their sauces .. and I’m usually not a sauce person either lol”
“Clove offers a delightful culinary experience with its impeccable service and delicious dishes. From the inviting ambiance to the attentive staff, every aspect of the dining experience is top-notch. Whether you're a fan of traditional favorites or crave innovative flavors, this restaurant is sure to satisfy your palate. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.”
“We really enjoy the food and service at Twin Peaks. Always a great experience. Maddie was very attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: My disabled mother is easily able to fit in the door in her wheelchair.”
“The Bacon Egg Breakfast Sandwich was absolutely delicious! We split one between the two of us and were not disappointed. The price($10) was a bit high, but after eating it, I understand why. The quality of ingredients were definitely superior to other breakfast sandwiches we've had. YUM! We would definitely go back to try more items. Thank you!”
“Great sandwiches served up quick right in the middle of downtown. It's a go-to for lunch at work and the guys behind the counter are super nice. Seems like they know at least every other person ordering by name!”
“A very nice Turkish breakfast. The simit, pastries, and böreks were both fresh and very tasty. The friendly staff provided a warm welcome and created a friendly atmosphere. Definitely go, you won't regret it.”
“Excellent spot to eat, truly authentic cuisine, my wife and I have spent many years in the Middle East and it is truly great to find a place that's great with really great food!! My wife is fasting so great Vegan options and I love the gyro meat, so it took care of both of our needs ?# ? It is currently Ramadan, so their hours have been adjusted for this religious holiday, so make sure to check, before you go. It's worth the drive!! ??Vegetarian options: If you're fasting, they have you covered!!Parking: It's hard to park in front of Zaytoon, only because the parking ?️ lot in front is shared my 3 other restaurant's , but a huge parking lot is on the side with plenty of availability for parking ?️.”
“A big fat meaty juicy sammich that comes with a hefty price. 2 people can easily share it so that makes it a bit easier to swallow. We ordered from a window and then sat in the nearby outdoor tables to enjoy the morning sun and it was a really nice vibe.”
“Traveled 3.5 hours. Literally the best food, vibes, and prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, some of the best service I’ve had in a long time! Their lemonade is killer too. Thank you hoggys!!!!-a resident of Bloomington IN”
“Went to the North Market location. Delicious dumplings and an wonderful sauce. They also have a spicy sauce but it's pretty spicy! I got the chicken and they were pretty great. Chicken can be a little dry so the sauce was a nice addition. The pork was wonderfully moist. I wish I had tried the vegetable options. Next time. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

“We just returned from Kenya, and had to try this place - we loved it and it satisfied our desire for the African cuisine: great service, excellent food with large portions (my wife even finished her plate), and inspiring decor!”
“We went on a Sunday afternoon and were the only people there. We ordered two bowlsand fries. The fries are hand cut and amazing, especially when dipped in the house sauce. Loved everything about this place, will definitely be coming back!”
“This was the best experience! Our server Anthony was EXCEPTIONAL! We haven’t had service that great in quite some time. He was so respectful and polite. We need more Anthony’s! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!”
“Was on a road trip and found this Yemeni restaurant! Food was big portions and service was good. The amount of food can feed alot of people lol. Our favorite was the lamb hanith and I love the tea very good flavors and soft and moist meat. The soup came with the order free which was nice and kept us warm in the weather alhamdulilah it was good. Enjoyed it.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Yummiest soup + salad combo I’ve ever had!!! Bread roll was honestly subpar, but the cauliflower soup is to die for, along with their mango salad. New fav place!”
“If you're craving some good comfort, flavorful, and delicious food! There's plenty of parking and some seating inside but most people seem to take food to go.Get the dinner house combo, you get so much! You get shrimp, beef, chicken, two veggie sides, and 2 sauces. Their other combos are good as well, you can't go wrong. Their ginger sauce is a really good balance to the buttery hardy entree and their spicy yum yum is good as well. One dinner entree order lasts me two meals and only for $17. The food is good, fresh, and flavorful.I also like getting their wings, they usually have their special of $1 wings if you buy a minimum of 5, or the regular 3 wings for $5. And you don't just get the drum or flat, you get both, which is usually getting 10 wings at other places. You're getting 10 wings for $5! I recommend their sriracha honey sauce, it is spicy and sweet, and so good. You can't beat the deal!They also offer lunch all day, so you can get the half size which is more than enough for one meal. They also have sides and appetizers like egg rolls and crab rangoons that you can get.I recommend for good food and quick service! They'll treat you really well and take care of you here.”
“Food - 4/5Service - 5/5Ambiance - 4/5 (Only Outdoor seating available)Price - Mid RangeOrdered a takeout for 6 piece wings, and a chicken teriyaki sub. The wings were awesome, but the bread for the sub wasn't great. It felt very dry. The flavor was good though.Overall, it's worth a visit if you're around.”
“We love to discover America through its local cuisine so we had to try #CincinnatiChili while traveling thru Ohio. I heard we had to try the place, to experience Cincinnati chili (made with meat only) and that THE place to try THE chili was #SkylineChili . we were seated quickly and the waitress gave a quick explanation of the regional dish, which was appreciated. My husband opted for two mini hotdogs — coneys, my bad —“Skyline’s classic Coney is a specially made hot dog in a steamed bun with mustard, covered with our original secret-recipe chili, diced onions” my husband doesn’t like cheese on a lot of foods so he avoided the freshly shredded cheese. But he really enjoyed his Coneys. I’m the opposite I love cheese on most things so I went for the prize, a 5-way Skyline’s signature dish – steaming spaghetti covered with their original secret-recipe chili and topped with a mound of shredded cheddar cheese, beans and onion. I loved it. So much flavor and all ingredients that I love. It’s like they took my favorite foods and put them together. I added some hot sauce to some of it and that was also nice. I look forward to eating more Cincinnati Chili in the future. And Skyline was a good place to try it. #chilli5ways #skylinechili #coneywithchilli #ohio”
“Trans /LGBT friendly in my experience , very good food. Bit on the $$ side but then when tasted it seems well worth it. I will definitely go back later , flavor is amazing.Parking: The parking lot is easy to get to. It's separated from main highway traffic and has near traffic light.Kid-friendliness: Very good atmosphere and accepting, has karaoke”
“Susan was the literal light of my life today. My friend and I just ordered a couple of drinks after leaving Tensuke Market and she made sure we didn’t wait too long behind a big order. She had such a bright smile and really carried the atmosphere because the AI ordering system was a little uncomfortable lol. 10/10 would come back to see Susan smile at me again.”
“Been here now twice staff is friendly attentive helpful prices are very reasonable for what you get everything we got was fresh and tasted delicious ? The coffee toffee ice cream I got was very good overall highly recommend this location.”
“I saw Canes sponsoring in NASCAR and figured I'd have to visit my local Cane's with some family. And I was impressed! Amazing chicken tenders, delicious french fries, and incredible texas toast. My soda was delicious also! One of the best Canes in the city of Columbus! "MMMM, CANES!" my cousin yelled as we left.”
“I love my friends here Marco and the rest of my friends was wrong about me because I have been there over two weeks I stop in to see my best friend s tonight always treat me with respect and kindness and always have the best tasting tacos I would go to no other place but this tacos stand love u ”

“Omg! What an experience. I wish Fort Wayne had a place like this. Started off with thee warmest greeting from Kevin the manager of the location. He explain menu items patiently and gave me suggestions on the selections he liked the most. Crazy thing. I'm not a mac n' chz fan or bake bean fan. I rarely eat either but Kevin suggested I try them and suggested I try 'em the way HE eats them. Mixed! That was way out of my league but he was really on to something! I loved it! Medium sauce on chicken is more bold than hot. Fried Pickles were good. Everything was good. Kevin really is THAT guy tho. He checked on everyone. Super friendly but not fake. Genuine. Like the family member that wants to make sure you're eating good. He was very generous as well. The restaurant was clean. Food was fresh. Can't wait to go back.”
“The service here was lovely, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Very family friendly, I could tell the staff wanted you to enjoy the experience. The food was delicious. I have never had any of these dishes, and the menu offers a picture menu via QR code, which was very helpful. The yucca fries are very good!”

Fine Dining
“We had a wonderful waitress, fabulous steak dinner, amazing drinks and they even went to graters in the mall to get sprinkles to put on my 4 yo daughters ice cream dessert. Not enough stars to rate our wonderful experience.”
“The food was delicious, fresh and unique. The service was good but not great. The noise level was high - the louder the music got the louder the conversations got and there are no soft surfaces to dampen the sound. Conversation was tough at times.”
“We had a goup of 6 go for my daughter's 17th birthday and it was our first time dining there. Andrew our waiter was amazing and even though we've never met, he was spot on with all his recommendations for the table. His service was fantastic. Then of course the food was wonderful!! Our steaks were cooked exactly how we wanted, you HAVE to get the gratin potatoes and bananas fosters dessert! It was a really fantastic experience!!”
“We went to Easton for a weekend of shopping,l and swimming. We got breakfast one morning at the Bistro for us and our kids.It was perfect.Starbucks coffee, fresh fruit, crispy tater tots, perfectly “cooked” French toast. The quotes are because it is all made in an air fryer or something like it.The lobby of the Marriott had giant jenga and giant connect 4 that our kids played with before and after eating.There was plenty of seating and the service was polite and punctual.”
“I was kind of hoping for it to be an overpriced, overhyped place. It was absolutely worthy of the hype. Our night was absolutely wonderful - the service, the interesting but also delicious food, the cocktails.”
“I went on a date night couldn't ask for a better experience. The waiter was knowledgeable and courteous and explained specials and friendly. Definitely would go back again. I would highly recommend it if you never been there.”
“Beautiful space! Clean and tables not too close together. The Spicy Tuna Poppers were a favorite for my wife and I. My sister and wife had the Surf Sushi Bowels. They loved them and the portions were perfect. We aren't comfortable with being served too much food. I'm trying to go more plant-based and the Porotobello sandwich was perfect. People don't realize it tastes like beef and is the perfect option for a healthier lifestyle. Hanna and the manager made the evening great. We loved how friendly they were without intruding. We love the music and will go back!”
“I called with less than a week notice needing a birthday cake last minute for ours sons Mario themed birthday. They were able to not only accommodate the order, but the cake was beautiful and just like the photos I had sent. On top of that it tasted amazing - the cake was super moist and icing was delicious. This was our first order, but will be our go to for party cakes going forward. Thank you!”
“This location is great - I have been going here for many years. Even during one of the busiest days of the year (the day before Christmas) when I expected a long wait, the staff were working hard to serve people quickly and efficiently. The customer just ahead of me was very rude and disrespectful and tried to complain about being in line for over a half hour, when he had walked in at the same time as me and we were in line for less than 10 minutes. The staff and later the owner still gave him excellent customer service and tried to resolve his (false) complaint. They are always so friendly and hospitable.Today, as usual, all of my guests raved about how good the ham was. We have also purchased side dishes in the past which were delicious as well. I will be returning to this location each year for our Christmas meal!”
“We visited Columbus last weekend and decided to check out Palmas. I've never had so much fun in one night! Very good music, great drinks and lots of fun people. There's excellent service and the atmosphere is so cool!! My friends and I are definitely going back :)”
“Food was good it wasn't busy so there was only like one other family there was like we had the place to ourselves the only thing the service wasn't terrible it's just they weren't very knowledgeable about like how to do certain things like with their e-tickets and but other than that like they were friendly they weren't rude or anything like that”
“Had such a fun time with the hubby here! Fun atmosphere, the girls were so pretty and had some amazing tricks! I loved Lexi, she was sooo gorgeous & nice! I loved the dancer who asked if it was okay to touch my hubby, even tho of course I didn't care. It was very considerate! Hubby paid 10 for his entry fee but mine was free so that was a nice surprise. Would give a 5 star if they had some more drink selections! For our first all nude experience I was Definitely nervous but it was a great time ?”
“We went for our 1 year wedding anniversary and they made it special. We were congratulated when we checked in for our reservation and decorated the table in anniversary confetti. The drinks and refills were perfect and came out fast. The calamari was tasty, not overcooked, and was enough for 4. The fillets were cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. We were so full that we barely touched our potato sides. Our cheesecake desserts with fresh berries were a great finish to an amazing night.”
“One of the best clubs I have visited in a long time. The vibe at this club is so chill that you want to go back time and time again. The dancers are beautiful and not overly aggressive. Bartenders Riley and Gretchen are rockstars and make sure everyone is taken care of.”
“This place has great falafel and shwarma in pita and laffa with all the appropriate accouterments. But it does not have, or even pretend to have, "atmosphere." It is one stall in a place with about 20 different stalls selling different types of foods. Most customers probably take the food out, but there are tables one floor up for those who want to eat in.Dietary restrictions: KosherKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome in unlimited numbers.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator to the second floor, where the tables and chairs are for those who want to eat in.”
“Great authentic Korean food! The owner is so nice and attentive. And she'll will let you do as much karaoke as your heart desires! Went here for dinner with some friends and ended up hanging out drinking beers and doing karaoke for hours. Definitely a hidden gem of Columbus.”

“We always love going to Stonebrick! Every employee there is so nice and friendly. Not to mention, their drinks are fantastic!! We are never disappointed. 11/10 ?”
“5 stars all the way around haven’t tried anything on the menu that isn’t great. When at work a few of us eat or grab coffee here everyday. I live in grove city and make a trip here for lunch with the wife on the weekends sometimes. Great people great food. Hidden gem for sure.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu”
“Vegan milkshakes! So tasty, super allergy friendly and people friendly! Plus built-in parking. I recommend if you can't have dairy or gluten but want a treat.Dietary restrictions: Im allergic to dairy and haven't had a milkshake in years! This was a lovely treat!”
“Quick service and friendly staff. The menu is online so you can order and pay directly from your cellphone. The noodle dishes and chicken feet are perfectly flavored.”
“New cuisine for me. The chicken was delicious, I tried the ‘Fufu’ and it was a very unique texture but I enjoyed it a lot! Plenty of food too. Will absolutely go ”
“Here for dinner ? I'm having a medium old world pepperoni ? and mushroom ?? my wife is having the Lasagna dinner it comes with salad ? bread and butter Ashley is our server and it's pretty busy as it usually is! She did a great job, she was on top of EVERYTHING!! She took complete responsibility for the pizza I ordered, there was a accident and she comped my pizza and discounted my wife's dinner. Wow ? amazing service!!!! Ashley is an exceptional person ? and a asset to say the very least ?Parking: Can be difficult depending on how busy they are!Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kids with families.They have a kids menu!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps!”
“It's always a joy to have such great food in an equally great venue. Lucky to be a last-minute work thing to Columbus that day and found I had a 2 hour window of NOTHING to do. Lunch and great service came to mind. 7 minutes later, I was sending a photo from the bar to my jealous wife.”
“We tried cheesecake, peanut butter cup cookies, and apple pie cookies and they were all delicious; BUT…..my husband and I agree that the apple pie cookie is the BEST cookie we have ever had. Thanks for an awesome treat at the East Market!”
“This is an awesome place. The first floor is like a food court. You can order from anywhere in the building using their app. We sat in the third floor. There is Cornhole on the third floor outside. The third floor is kind of a sports bar. I don't spend anytime on the second floor, but it seemed to be more formal. This place has everything and it's such a cool environment. I got the pizza and don't regret it at all, it was delicious! I had their fishbowl Bahama Mama, and it was so good!! I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the Columbus area.”
“This place is just the best. First time here. Waitress was so friendly and helped answer all my questions. Best atmosphere, staff, and healthy food. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan! Found my new fav place!”
“The only complaint I have is that if there is anything going wrong in the kitchen (like something burning ) you will smell it for your entire stay because of how open it isOther than that everything is phenomenal. Can get a bit pricey for the portions but very much worth it”
“This Japanese marketplace is absolutely adorable! I tried mocha mousse, coffee cream roll, and savory breads, all of which were incredibly delicious. The cake was delightfully moist, and the chocolate ganache had the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee flavor.”
“I love Mexican food. This is my first visit to Tastytacos and I will say the food and Margaritas were delicious. The prices weren’t bad either and excellent service. I will be back.”
“We’ve been going to Isa for a while, so when we started planning our wedding, she was honestly our first and only choice. Yes, her pastries are out of this world and I could wax poetic on them - specifically the sweet potato one, look if you know you know - but this review is for the absolute masterpiece of a wedding cake that she put together for us. Because we’re long standing customers, we actually ended up doing both the spring/summer and the fall/winter tasting boxes. There is no wrong answer here, every single cake she makes is delicious, but we ended up going with the pretty traditional almond raspberry with the raspberry jam. It’s sweet, it’s decadent, and it was a huge hit with our guests. And god, just look at it! So beautiful! 100% worth it, choose Isa and Three Bites for all your pastry and cake needs!”
“Food is amazing every time! The quesibirrias are my go to usually but every plate I have tasted has been great. Food has the authentic Mexican flavor. Very friendly service and clean. Would recommend 10/10!”

“Absolutely exquisite cuisine. Carefully prepared and intentional. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and the management clearly cares about their customers.Their happy hour is extraordinarily affordable and a really obvious choice.”
“This place has a very cool vibe, great place for a date. It kind of feels like you’re in a jazz prohibition club. The drink menu has fun cocktails, but if none are to your liking then the bartender can make anything at your request. They have a VERY limited food menu, although very good. I do recommend eating before the show. The seating is very limited so try to make reservations earlier than later. I came earlier than the show time due to parking and time of day, and they would not let me enter even though there were open seats and I had a reservation for the show in ten minutes. They also only have two restrooms in there so finding a time to go between the other patrons can get stressful. With me not being well versed in jazz, I just went a random night and was not too much of a fan of the artist. Even with the neat atmosphere, a mediocre performer can ruin the vibe. When I went a lot of people were talking as well and the staff did nothing about it so it was hard to hear the performer too. I would definitely go back and give it another try with another performer.Parking: Parking on the street if you can find it or garage several blocks over.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: I did not notice an elevator, but the venue is down a flight of stairs.”
“This hidden gem is absolutely amazing. From the food to the service - this place is 5 stars across the board. We’ve ordered different menu items every visit, and they’re always top notch. The short rib burger is in my top 3 best burgers of all time. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Columbus!”
“We had a wonderful waitress, fabulous steak dinner, amazing drinks and they even went to graters in the mall to get sprinkles to put on my 4 yo daughters ice cream dessert. Not enough stars to rate our wonderful experience.”
“Food is great service is great these people will treat you with respect and talk to you kindly I have seen situations where you had a customer being outrageous but management and the staff still treated the person as a human being where they didn't have to they could have kicked them out but they took care of him and treated him good after that the man apologize and I respect that because kindness will get kindness back so I have to say these people get these stars because they are great they are the goat keep on doing the good work I am also a Dasher who comes then pick up they are the greatest”
“Wow. This place does not disappoint. Everyone and everything was on point. Good was delicious, staff wonderful atmosphere frue dky and inviting. Got to try this if your close”

“This place is very nice inside. They have a good gluten free selection. The waiter gave me a whole pitcher of tea, that was nice. The atmosphere was kind of like being in Italy and it was very clean and fancy. They definitely gave great service. It seems like a good place for a date or family time. The prices were not that high either. They made me a gluten free pizza and free GF bread.Dietary restrictions: They have a pretty extensive gluten free menu that is clearly marked on the main menu, a plus for me.”
“Pretty good place for curries and noodles. Laid back atmosphere and real clean nice service and fair prices.I hear the dishes are quite spicy, I got the lowest number and it was pretty mild (like I’d prefer), but also flavorful. I got tofu and it was a good quality tofu so I was pleased with it.My partner got the drunken noodles and they looked very good I’d probably order that next time or the Banh mi sandwich with fries.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options and tofu available for a protein. Generally vegetable forward.”
“Always a great experience lunch or dinner. Danielle has been our waitress for a long time and outstanding. Others have been there years as well and outstanding. They stay for a reason.”

The Pearl
“Visited Columbus for a few weeks and tried dinner at many restaurants. This was the only restaurant that I made sure to circle back to. Everything that was ordered as a group was shared and it was all a hit!!! Almost all of the appetizers Spoon pudding, Deviled eggs, wings, tots, mussels, wrapped dates, pie, Beet salad, just to name a few!”
“This was the best experience! Our server Anthony was EXCEPTIONAL! We haven’t had service that great in quite some time. He was so respectful and polite. We need more Anthony’s! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!”
“My first time eating at a bona fide Ramen restaurant and it was super delicious. Luckily I was joined by some veteran Ramen junkies that led me down the right path. Also enjoying the real crab meat Rangoon and the pork egg roll. Much different flavors than what you expect but savory and delicious. Was too chilly for outside seating availability, unfortunately, but can't wait to come back in the summer and try that out too. The drinks were good too.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the food here. The mango chicken and the chicken suqqar are amazing. The spicy rice, all the sides, the hot sauce…I was in food Heaven. They have good juice too. I loved the ginger lemonade. This is some of the best food in Columbus right here.”
“The COBOWL is hands down one of the best places to eat in town! Her food is ALWAYS fresh, flavorful and filling! I’ve never been disappointed in all my many experiences I’ve had with her food. Best Liberian cuisine in the city!”
“The food was unique and deliciously memorable! The drinks and their menu were creative and whimsical. The service was absolutely fabulous. We very much appreciated the chance to taste different options before buying a bottle. We settled on the apple brandy but we will be back for the bottled in bond and chamomile gin! The decor was such a great blend of natural and industrial elements. It gave the feeling of a gourmet restaurant and a relaxed intimate gathering space all at once. The only thing I would have changed was the volume of the music. Everyone was shouting over the "background music" which made ordering and conversation in general somewhat difficult.Parking: A bit of a walk from the parking lot but worth it!”
“We picked the perfect time. No huge lunch crowd. Perfect viewing for the eclipse. The service was perfect, the food was delicious and nicely plated.Wonderful experience!Dietary restrictions: Very careful with food allergies! My gluten free meal was perfect!”

Sycamore
“Fabulous experience at Sycamore with impromptu seats at the bar. Started with a huge salad and the sticky carrots which had a bit of heat -- both were delicious and the salad was big enough to be an entree salad. Ravioli and Veggie Tagine were both fantastic. Complex seasoning and flavors and both vegetarian. Finished off with a strawberry rhubarb pie a la mode. Everything was excellent. And the service was outstanding.”
“I had an incident the other day with the quality of my to go order , i didn’t feel like it was the freshest that i know it could’ve been being that i eat here quite often . Called & spoke with Heidi (manager) , she was very polite & helpful told me they would get it corrected . Stopped in today to grab my order & it was perfect . Heidi was super polite & took all the necessary measures to correct my order & made sure it was to my liking . exactly why this is one of my favorite spots !”
“Our group of 5 had a great time! Our table was not ready at our reservation time and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes past our rez time. The owner was so apologetic and comped us a round of drinks and some apps while we waited. Very thoughtful and beyond what we would have expected.The service was very good. Food was great and everyone in our group left with full and happy bellies. 100% recommend.”
“We chose to hire Seventh Son's sunroom for our wedding. Best decision ever. Monica was a delight to work with and everything was so relaxed and easy from day one. Our wedding day was perfect. The space looked amazing, the drinks were fabulous and the bar staff were simply outstanding.Highly recommend this place for events, or even just a great, chilled location for a beer if you're in the area.”
“The hummus was delightful, soft creamy, and tasty. The pita that went with it delicious. The lamb shank was easily the best meal I've had in Columbus. All the food was absolutely wonderful! With no doubt it is the best Mediterranean food in Columbus.”

“This is the restaurant that made me fall in love with Indian food! One of our favorites in the short north and never have been disappointed. The dishes are unique and delicious and the cocktails are a highlight. Always have to get the chili cheese naan (do it!) and paan clouds cocktail.”
“Parking: street parking or paid lots nearby Food: food was okay - my dish (sweet potato gnocchi) was pretty lukewarm when it came out and didn't have much flavor, but someone had the lasagna which came out piping hot & looked delicious, and another person ordered the short rib which was delicious. Service: was good! Seating: mostly indoor seating”
“Superb meal here at Creole 2 Geaux! Highly recommend the shrimp bowl. That also have a huge offering of hot sauces to pair with your meal. Hearty and delicious food served by kind staff. 5 stars for the cozy vibes and top notch ”
“We love Nicola. I have been there multiple times. The menu options, the service, the friendliness of everyone, the consistent excellent quality are always on-point. We opted to dine out on Easter for the first time ever because of the special Easter menu. It was a great menu with lots of interesting options. I ordered the Tecchino (turkey breast rolled with mortadella and spinach). I would say the spinach-mortadella center was a bit bland and the turkey itself was overwhelmingly salty. But that did not alter how much we love Nicola and loved our Easter meal. It was a lovely day and we will be back again soon.”

Law Bird
“Fun cocktail bar with a wide list of fun and eccentric themed cocktails, plus plenty of listed "classics" and the makings of anything you'd normally order while out. The snack list is small but just the right breadth of options to fill any late night need.Service was great and friendly.Law Bird is also right next to several other good late night spots, making the location a great place to Uber to and not feel trapped as you feel the itch to move around during the night.”
“We've been here a few times, the service is always on point, the food rarely misses, and its pretty close to the real Korean BBQ in South Korea. The only reason I gave 4 stars on food is because the beef bulgogi was different than last time, and full of onion and peppers for some reason. They were out of rice as well, for about 45 mins while we were there.”
“I ordered to go. The food and service were very good. The two ladies were very warm, friendly and helpful with recommendations given I had not previously never tried west African food. I will go back this time to dine in to try something else!”
“I recently visited The Lifestyle Cafe and was delighted by their scrumptious chicken and waffles. The flavors were exceptional, and I appreciated the innovative vegan twist. The frozen turmeric drink was a refreshing accompaniment, adding a delightful burst of flavor to the overall experience. The cafe's commitment to delicious vegan options makes it a standout choice for those seeking both taste and a cruelty-free dining experience.Be prepared to absorb the peaceful atmosphere and community vibe.”
“Hosted a bridal shower here today. Not only was the food incredible but the service was impeccable. The planning was effortless with the staff. Highly recommend the burrata salad and dip trio. Thank you to the staff for making this such a lovely day!!”
“My wife and I love to eat at Aladdin. We get vegetarian options such as the sampler platter appetizer with grape leaves, falafel, hummus, tabouli, etc. We also have dessert here too because they often have gluten free cookies.Vegetarian options: There are several options for vegetariansDietary restrictions: There are several options for gluten free”

“My partner and I shared a salad, two tapas, and the steak; it was all absolutely amazing and we left completely stuffed. The service was great and the timing of courses was spot on. Oh and the gelato is really good too!”
“The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!”
“First time visiting and we had a great time. We sat at the bar with a few friends and Abbie did amazing job with us. She was very attentive to our group as well as working the full bar and restaurant drink orders. We had beverages, appetizers and dinner. The food was great and all our orders were correct. Look forward to next visit.”

Marcella's
“Me and my wife acidentally stumbled upon this gem as a replacement dinner trip when our planned visit to another nearby resturant was too busy for a table. We were tired from the long drive to Columbus, starving, unfamiliar with the area, and just wanted anywhere to eat.Ever reffering to this resturant as a replacement anything is an insult to the wonderful evening they provided for us on a moment's notice.Gaston was our waiter and he was very attentive and kind! Despite the dinner rush, he was very interested in making sure our dining experience was the best. One of the nicest and most attentive servers I've met! Thanks man!The food was absolutely delicous. Every item tasted made in house and with the freshest ingredients. We started with the Burrata appetizer, and we were blown away. The cheese was melt in your mouth, the bread was crisp and buttery, and the homemade marinara had savoury flavors I never knew existed. And that was just the appetizer!We then ordered the four cheese pizza and fettuccine and MEATBALL.-The Fettuccine and MEATBALL was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was deliciously enveloped in a blend of alfredo and marinara that created such a nice blend of flavors. Using capitilization as emphasis for the word meatball helps describe the absolute beast he was. That MEATBALL was massive and SO DELCIOUS. I've never had meat like that so savory and MELT IN YOUR MOUTH???? It was crazy good.-The four cheese pizza was also seriously amazing. I still can't get over the feeling I had enjoying every bite.The chefs and staff are absolutely incredible!! Thanks for everything.Also, the decor, atmosphere, and environment of Marcella's satisfied my dream of dining at a very fancy affordable resturant. Did you know the walls are hand painted??? I didn't until I saw all the brush strokes and paint lines. It blew my mind. The entire inside and outside of the resturant looked so beautiful it was like it was from a storybook.Definitely come enjoy eating at this resturant!!! You will never forget it.”
“We had an incredible experience when we were in town for the Arnold. We made an unplanned decision to have lunch at The Guild House and couldn’t have been more impressed, by not only the food, but their incredible hospitality. They’re doing right.”

“This is my go-to for sushi, and has been for many years. I drive across town to come here, and I have never, ever been disappointed. The sushi is good quality, and the presentation is creative. The appetizers and mushroom soup are always a must. The staff has been the same here for many years, showing that this is a great place to work as well. Simply the best.”
“I had the special, "grilled halibut on mashed potatoes with grilled vegetables", coffee and tres leches cake-all delicious! This was an A+ experience for an evening out with the hub!”
“We ordered 4 of the thin crust pizzas and one of the Detroit style pizzas. The Detroit style cacio e Pepe was everyone’s favorite. Don’t sleep on the Detroit style pizza!”
“The connection between genuine attentive service and culinary masterpieces are unmatched at Pelino’s ! We recently had did the 7 course chefs tasting with wine pairings. The chef was able and willing to accommodate for a gluten allergy and our server Maria made us feel like family! Maria truly elevated this entire experience from sharing her passion and love for food and wine to being available for us during our visit! The tasting option for wine really enhanced an already amazing meal. The polenta dish literally made me tear up, and I’ve never had something so spectacular! The rich flavors and thought that goes into the pastas and sauces are as close to a Michelin star restaurant I may ever get to imagine or experience.Thank you Vinny and Christina for allowing us to experience a part of your home!Maria is absolutely amazing and if we could make reservations to sit at her tables we 150% would !”
“Reilly was amazing! Michael found me a seat when I came alone and the place is packed! Drinks were so good, I asked for an Ohio specific whiskey and they delivered. I came last year and the service was just as good!!”
“The food was delicious, fresh and unique. The service was good but not great. The noise level was high - the louder the music got the louder the conversations got and there are no soft surfaces to dampen the sound. Conversation was tough at times.”
“Every inch of this restaurant is full of intriguing "I Spy" -esk feels. The food was delicious! Brussels Sprouts done perfectly, one of the empty plates, and a perfect blueberry lemonade mimosa!Clean bathrooms, warm monkey bread style cinnamon bread and a brightly lit dining room that seems it could fit any number of people! What more could I want from a big city, 1930's, train station styled eatery!?”
“We had a great waiter! The food was good and the drinks were great! The only complaint was our table was small but we didn’t make a reservation so it was hard to get a table!! I loved the expresso martini and mimosas!! My calamari, shrimp, and pizza were so good!! I’d definitely come back!!”
“Mazah was great! The service was good, our food came out quick and our server, Sophia was so friendly and helpful! Not to mention the food is flavorful and delicious. We got the dinner sampler and everything we tried was really good!”
“Great atmosphere! Bartenders are friendly, and the owner, Jason, is super cool and down to earth. I like the Starseed Hazy IPA a lot, but also love that they have Frostop Root Beer on tap when I don’t want alcohol. Overall, very impressed with this place.”
“Stopped by Arch City Tavern during happy hour. The Rueben eggrolls are phenomenal. The chicken wings are more like pigeon wings. They were so tiny we ordered another order as soon as they came out. The Buffalo blue cheese was good though. But I definitely wouldn't order the wings again though.”
“Great experience, not a lot of new offerings style wise but what they do they do really well. Everything we've had had been great, love the honey chicken and the spare rib dinner. Don't miss the happy hour specials! Great service as ”
“The salmon bites are our favorite, so much flavor in every bite and the fish and chips are great. Wait staff was prompt and attentive, atmosphere is laid back and comfortable.”

Alqueria
“Dining at Alqueira was the experience that I’ve been searching for but not finding amongst the restaurants who seem to be trying too hard. The locally sourced and changing menu is prepared and presented in simple ways yet delivers deep and delicious flavors across all their dishes. We’ll be back the next time we visit Columbus.”
“Love Condado. I always get the chips and one of the queso dips and a couple of tacos. The house margarita is excellent. My only complaint for this location is PARKING! It is a nightmare parking situation, which is not their fault but still. Be prepared.Parking: Small poorly designed shared lot”
“This restaurant is amazing ?. I visited from Texas and I was here throughout My stay in Ohio. If I could rate it 1000/10 stars I will. And the owner Dreyelese is so bubbly and friendly.”

“This is a dope breakfast spot on the OSU campus. I'm glad I got up and went early. I got there by 8:30 a.m. and they were packed within 20 minutes. When I left about 9:30 a.m. it was line outside. Good service, good food and drinks. Very reasonable priced. Everything I seen brought out the kitchen looked good. The atmosphere was cool too. I'd go back if I lived in Columbus.”
“J. Alexander's is always my go to for a really good piece of prime rib and the ahi tuna salad is AMAZING. My belly is always satisfied after eating there ?? I just wish they had a happy hour!”
“The chicken piccata was very good. Service was sort of slow but not terrible. It was sort of strange that we had a 4 o’clock reservation for 10 and immediately upon seating, the waitress said we had a two hour time limit as they had a lot of reservations for 6 o’clock. When we left at five till six, there were two tables with people. Not sure what was going on there.”
“I come to Texas Roadhouse pretty often & today was the best experience I had. natalin was my server she was so fast, really so amazing. We need more servers like her in all the restaurants”
“Everyone's hair looked amazing. They know how to cook excellent food, made correctly with proper safety practices being thoroughly observed. I would give everyone that works there head, dude chick, I don't care. It's THAT good. ??????? ”
“Our 1st visit. It was restaurant week. Took awhile to be waited on after we were seated - they were quite busy and most likely not expecting the demand. Our waiter (in-training)was excellent). Our 3-course meals were wonderful with very fresh ingredients ..the lobster pasta dish was amazing. Nice atmosphere. We will be back.”
“They were so accommodating when we reached out about hosting a larger party. We got great service, the food was good, and we all had a great time. Large, easy parking lot, lots of space inside, a large patio, and the entire staff was just fantastic.”
“This is a hidden gem. Extremely courteous staff and amazing food! The hummus and fresh bread were excellent. Try it with the olive oil dip. Prices were very good. Looking forward to coming back.”
“Food is great, many options. Wait staff is very knowledgeable and attentive.Vegetarian options: Our daughter is vegan and eats here a lot.Dietary restrictions: Was asked by wait staff before ordering if anyone had dietary restrictions”

“Food was amazing. Atmosphere great. Staff was nice, only critique is that we had a party of 8 and we did wait a while before we had our orders taken. Other than that everything else was great.”
“We went here for Taco Tuesday. They also have a self-service area where you can get chips and salsa with no charges. The staff were pleasant. The prices for the tacos are reduced on Tuesdays. They have varied taco choices, all of which tasted really good. They also have good margaritas. Parking is limited, but there's street parking.Would recommend.”
“Literally the BEST! The DFFC is the bomb and will NOT disappoint !!! Charlie was our server tonight and was so sweet, kind and patient !!! ☺️ thank you Charlie and Tony for making my husband’s first time a blast !”

“My husband and I visited The Forge Tavern and were blown away! The art work outside prepares you for the atmosphere you get inside...a whimsical fantasy tavern with absolute class and fun! Connor served us, and kept us FULLY entertained. It's wonderful to see a passion and a job come together! There is a good variety of board games to play, and you can bring your own as well! The drink selection is extensive, and they have mocktails! We both enjoyed our drinks and the pretzel bites. They have a cool merch section as well!We couldn't stick around for long but we will DEFINITELY be back!”
“Mediterranean salad was good. The chocolate mousse was outstandingPesto was disappointing, lacking sufficient garlic.Very noisy, had to yell to converseDietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta and bread available”
“Great atmosphere! My work rented out the back room. Perk is that you can bring your own food. Nice big TV to watch games. They even have a heated patio area. Drinks were very good and decently priced. Highly recommend the warm cider with a shot!”

“First time here and I must say I will be back the place makes you feel welcomed and have a home body experience the chicken and waffles was amazing the tequila sunrise is a must try I sat upfront and seen the place become crowded so it's a lot of people who come through I will be back that will be my go to places for breakfast every time I visit ColumbusParking: If you can find a spot on a Saturday morning in the front you got a good spot but it's a parking lot across from it and you can park there if it's not crowded”
“I love this place! I ate lunch here every dayI was in the city! I ate in and did take out. Brussel sprouts, cauliflower bites, the BECKY!!!… everything was delicious. There was one day they were very short staffed so service was understandably slow, but everyone was still kind, efficient and really killed it honestly! The little red corvette frozen marg was amazing!My only complaint is that I tripped on the broken floor boards at the table behind the bar… the floor there is pretty damaged.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options”
“An awesome pub! A lot of people were here for lunch and there were only two servers during lunch time, but they were efficient and friendly. The food was served fast and tasted juicy and fresh. They also had daily specials. I was here for the taco deal on Wednesday. The taco tasted fresh and juicy with amazing coney sauce.Vegetarian options: Salads”
“We looked at making a reservation on a Friday and they were booked up until 815pm. So we just decided to stop by anyways and they actually had comfortable seating at the bar. Our bartender/server was very attentive. She was very knowledgeable about the different signature cocktails they offered. The first mixed drink we tried was "Whats the buzz"! I believe that the correct name. You are to take these two flowers that make your mouth number for a couple of minutes and then drink some of the drink. I don't know how I feel about that drink. The second one she tried was the "Agave Cooler" and was good. For our meal, she has the fried chicken sliders, and I had the New York Strip well done. The sliders were good, but the steak was a bit dry. It seemed like they put it on the grill for the grill marks and then nuked it in the microwave. The steak had no juice at all underneath it on the plate. If I ate steak sauce with my steaks, today would have been the day to do so. I told the server, and she knocked some off of my bill. I didn't expect anything from telling her, but it was much appreciated. I'd still give them a 5 star for the overall experience!!”

“I'm not into fast food too much anymore however there's nothing like a good burger.With that being said not all burger places are the same anymore, however, when I want to consistent sandwich this is the Wendy's that I choose to go to unfortunately I just moved to the east side but every time I find myself back on the north side, I'll stop there and get a burger and it's always the same hot, & service is always great, so good job to whomever owns that establishment.”

Amidst the chaos and despair, it was the owner of this halal food truck who emerged as our unexpected savior. Hearing about our plight, he not only extended a helping hand but went above and beyond the call of duty.

“Wonderfully prepared food. Owner is incredibly kind and friendly. The food is always delicious. Every bite is perfect and fresh. Love eating here for breakfast!!”
“This hidden gem is great if you are looking for some Japanese comfort food. I have been coming to Nori Japan for many years, and they have been consistently tasty. It is located in the middle of the mall so the atmosphere isn't that great. They have different plate combinations, with freshly made Teriyaki chicken, shrimp, and beef, as well as some food in well warmers. The portions are always overfilled and hot. For the more frequent customers, they have a punch card with a free meal on the tenth purchase. One warning to note is that they will ask what kind of side you want, without noting a surcharge for certain sides. Recently, they added boba tea and ramen, which I am still waiting to try.”
“Amazing cookies! The service is quick and easy. The store has an amazing cookie smell in it and it is very clean! The cookies are sweet and unique than most other cookies out there.”
“Ordered cake and cupcakes for our wedding reception. They were DELICIOUS. We got earl grey with lemon curd along with white almond raspberry and both were so good! Earl grey is a must try! And the icing on the cake (pun intended) is that Adrian is a sweetheart.”
“My husband and I have been visiting this place for the past few months and have had nothing short of an amazing experience. Extremely friendly staff, and food is always extremely good and FRESH. We just ordered through Doordash, and I am amazingly surprised by how FRESH and HOT the food still is! When I opened the box, steam came out. That shows that this food is cooked to-order and fresh. My husband would eat from this place every day if he could. Absolutely recommend!! Never had a disappointing experience.”
“Great pizza, excellent prices and the daily specials make it a must stop. I call in my orders and by the time arrive the are always ready. My go to on the west side for pizza.”
“Great service and atmosphere. Food came out quick. The gyro was ok... a little dry and could have used more tzatziki. Hummus was good. The lemon mint smoothie was my favorite ?”

We were so full that we barely touched our potato sides. Our cheesecake desserts with fresh berries were a great finish to an amazing night.”

“Me and my boyfriend decided to try this new place that opened up and they had a lot of variety options! We usually go to smoothie king but something about this place just has more. The moment we walked in we were greeted by an associate with a smile. There was another associate there who asked how we were and told us that we could try samples as many as we want. My boyfriend got the PB everbowl but instead of açaí as his base he changed it to coco love. I ordered pina coolada and switched out the kiwi for bananas. For this to be a new place it's more than just a 5/5 it's giving 10/10. I would recommend this. I also attach the menu :)”

“My friend and I visited on a Wednesday night and found there to be no wait! The staff was incredibly friendly, described the history of the ice cream, and was super patient with us as we tried a bunch of flavors! Not only can you get two different kinds of ice cream for a small, but the portion size was also pretty decent! The ice cream itself had a great texture and flavor. I also can’t forget about the cute little candy eyes on the ice cream either! Although the sitting area is small, we were able to stay for sometime and chat as the atmosphere is very cozy. I definitely recommend checking this place out as I know I will definitely be back!”

The French fries were also very nice- crispy and fresh.The beers are pretty solid, with a few IPAs and imperial stouts too. I was a bit bummed that they didn't have any sours or fruity beers, but that's just my preference.Overall, a solid prick!Kid-friendliness: There were babies and kids!”
“This is a Japanese restaurant which serves predominately sushi. Kura opened their first restaurant in 1977 in Japan. They came to the United States in 2008. I love innovation, so when my daughter suggested Kura Revolving Sushi Bar during my Easter visit, I was all in. There are no reservations accepted, instead they have a sign=in tablet at the entrance. After being seated, a server will explain the procedure. Basically there are two conveyer belts which pass by your table. The lower conveyer belt holds sushi you can grab as it passes by. It's $3.40 for any plate. All plates are in a closed clear case in order to maintain freshness. The upper conveyer belt carries orders you choose off of a menu board. A robot brings you drinks. Once you finish your plate there is a specially marked box with a slot for the plate. This box also records your plates. I am not one to ask about the quality of sushi. I can say that it tasted fresh and I enjoyed the various flavors. The down side is that it gets crowed at peak times but since I eat my last meal of the day between 3-4 pm, that was not a problem.”
“I want to give a very special shout out to Breonna! I can not thank her more for her exceptional service. I have been all over town for this one particular sandwich and let me say........." She is by far the only one in the CITY who can make it perfectly! KUDOS TO YOU CHICA! I WILL BE BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! McKinsey on register and their drink maker is exceptional as well with these three ladies alone you have a dream team! Shout out to the Manager leading these ladies! I did not catch her name but I'm BESTFRIEND!!! See you guys soon!!!”
“Outstanding isn’t a strong enough word for the food and service. Incredible experience and likely the best dining experience that I’ve ever had in Columbus. Only complaint was the temperature in the restaurant. We were freezing for the entire two hours that we were in there.”
