Comfort Food Restaurants in Columbus, OH

“Obviously pierogies are the objective. Kudos to Pierogi Mtn for having so many options to reach vegans as well as non-vegans. I tried the Hungarian Lesco and another with potato, mushroom, onion. Both were tasty. The star for me where's the House made wild ramp sausage (with pork). My friend's dining with me tried other pierogies and also enjoyed their choices. Service was a tad slow but maybe because it was prom night and graduation weekend in Columbus?Vegetarian options: And Vegan!!“

“We enjoyed our dinner at True Kitchen. But missed the chopped salad as an option. The Strawberry salad was good - but chopped better. Also, still would prefer some multi-grain or whole wheat pizzas, pastas, and pita option. The Sour dough pizza was a little heavy. The red wine prices were way too high - 52 is crazy for Columbus Ohio this is not NYC, casual restaurant for sure! Service was very good - nice waitress.“

“Went to Ridiculous Eats yesterday (8/6/23) for the first time. Ordered shrimp and grits and Mac and cheese. The gave me my order and immediately asked for it back as the chef found it wasn’t up to par. Took it back and made me a fresh one. Checked on us a couple times as we sat at waited another 10/15 mins. Gave us a piece of lemon cake while we waited. And gave me a second mac and cheese so it was fresh. The food itself was for sure worth the wait, it was delicious! We will for sure be back.“

“Creole and Cajun food fanatic here. I spend a LOT of time in New Orleans and Montréal (a great Creole food city as well.) The gumbo was as good as I've had in a long time- the secret is getting that smoke in there and you did it. My girlfriend had the vegan chili-phenomenal. Nice people and location. Can't wait to return!“

“This place never disappoints. Our server, John, was very attentive and was very considerate of allergies that our family was concerned about. He also gave great food recommendations for our picky members. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

“The 1 and only complaint I have is if you're seated in a booth. There's so much traffic so close to your table, other than that server was awesome, food was fresh and delicious. Manager kept checking up on us. We will definitely be back.“

“This restaurant was referred to me by a friend.Regardless of how the food, service or asthmosphe was I personally am more concerned about the customer experience.The customer service received during your meal and most importantly after the meal and you go home and reflect on your experience with said restaurant.And making the decision whether you want to return, or recommend this place to your family, friends and coworkers and most importantly the public.So taking it all in I'm going to say I won't even get into the dining experience.The most important part of what is taking place at this restaurant is the after effect that hits you after making a Google review.Read all of them and you can only connect to the idea that management really fails the customer.The bad basic concept of the management reply is we will try harder, we will work on it, and thank you for letting us know.Come back another time and see if we have improved.Not a single time did the management say please contact me and let discuss how we can resolve the issues.NO IT'S ALWAYS COME BACK AGAIN AND SEE IF WE IMPROVED !!!??SO what I received from the manager replies to the customers review posting, was very lacking in concern if the customer actually returns or even give a good referral to family, friends or coworkers and the public.Im sure that the manager don't even know the customer.Take me for example, I have 3,800,000 views and growing.Yes 3.8 million views.This should be a concern for any business owner, manage, or corporation.When the customer became an insignificant part of the daily agenda, your only setting yourself up for failure.This is the digital world today.Chump me. and I will tell world ? .That's what should really drive you to connect with your customers.NOT BY THE MEANS OF A GENERIC REPLY THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW AND COME BACK AND SEE IF WE HAVE IMPROVED.ONLY POINT THIS TELLS THE CUSTOMER AND THE PUBLIC READING YOUR REVIEWS BEFORE DECIDING TO COME THERE, IS THAT THEY ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT TO THE CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF YOUR BUSINESS, BECAUSE YOUR HOPING FOR CONTINUOUS FOOT TRAFFIC AND NOT CONCERNED ABOUT REPEAT CUSTOMERS.THE FAILURE OF MOST BUSINESSES, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE, IS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.SINCERELY I am the customer.“

“While walking downtown, we happened upon Pat and Gracie's. We loved it. Our waitress was great. My cocktail, Kentucky Tangerine Sidecar was amazing!! The food!! Awesome!! The cheesesticks were the best I've ever had, they were enormous. The wings were crispy and delicious as well. Definitely going to frequent there in the future.“

“The Rusty Bucket is a must when you're in the Columbus area. They have a wide variety of amazing pub style food and a great selection of draft and bottled beer as well as a nice selection of wines. The Beef Stroganoff was the best I've ever eaten!! I had the 3-Way with Spaghetti and Texas Chili earlier and it was extremely delicious. Thank you Eric and Tia for taking great care of me!!“

“Stopped by here because they had fresh cut fries. We ended up getting handheld too. A chicken gyro and grilled chicken sandwich. Both sandwiches and fries were really good! Only knock is the small portion of fries. But they were fresh cut and tasty.“

“Mac's Proper Pub has been on my radar for a few years because my best friend took me there to try the sauerkraut balls, and I've been going back to have them ever since then. Recently I discovered that they have a great happy hour which includes half off apps and specialty cocktails, so off I went to have a dinner of apps. My order included scotch eggs, fried brie, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken fingers, and of course the sauerkraut balls. The scotch eggs were tasty-- served cut in half with a dipping sauce, and they were better than any scotch eggs I've had in the past. Crispy and delicious, especially with the gluttonous cream cheese dip. The fried brie is also very tasty-- served with slices of toast and definitely not as stinky or strange as brie can often be, more palatable because it's fried with a crispy outside. This is a great 'intro fried brie' for those who it may be too strong for normally. The spinach and artichoke dip is yummy and served with interesting sliced curly-esque fries. I loved the fries I just wish there was a bit more dip so I wasn't left with so many extra fries and nothing to dip them in. The chicken fingers were pretty average. Not a whole lot to say about those and probably wouldn't order them again. I also wasn't a fan of the sauce they were served with. The sauerkraut balls did not disappoint as usual-- sauerkraut and sausage all wrapped together and served fried with ranch(?) to dip them in. I'm not crazy about the dipping sauce but the portion is pretty large-- it comes with 6 sauerkraut balls that take at least 2-3 bites to finish. The bar itself is long and slender with an incognito room with a pool table in the back that I just noticed on this trip, despite having been there many times before. I'll definitely be back to blow off some steam with a game of pool during happy hour soon.“

“This was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had at this style of restaurant. All-day breakfast is great for someone like me who enjoys pancakes for dinner. This recent visit, I got the Rise & Shine burger for lunch. Easily the best burger I've had in quite a while. I also brought my office cup (30oz. Yeti cup) out of habit and a passing server filled the WHOLE thing without me even asking. I highly recommend giving this place a visit. Friendly staff, great food!“

“We just ate at Skillet for the first time and loved it! Owner is super nice, and the restaurant is small, intimate and charming. Coffees are super good (Cinnamon Bun Latte - hot, Cold Brew with Maple honey to sweeten). My wife and I both ordered the Pimento Omelet, and it was very delicious; our daughter had the Cheesy Hashbrowns - also very delicious. I must comment that the plates of other food coming out of the kitchen looked soooo delicious! Will definitely be back here MUCH more. ????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: The owner’s son helps, and he is probably 12 years old. We saw families eating here too. Bring your family!“

“Today me an my husband wanted to try Bob Evans out, since we just moved over this side of town. our experience was great. It was really busy today an staff was working at a great place. I'm not at disappointed. I have very nice waitress.. very clean. They also have their good candles for 3 for $25.I love buying candles“

“The wait here was very short and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. I always recommend HCT to friends as it’s one of my favorite places. Their $10 lunch combo deal is a great deal also! This place made me a giant fan of pickles and ranch, can’t get enough of it.Vegetarian options: There are very accommodating for veggie options! They’ve got vegan nuggsKid-friendliness: Kids are more than welcomeWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“Three words only three words for this place Barnyard Buster absolutely amazing it should be an American tradition like a hot dog or a hamburger, lol honestly its great country food at a decent price.Parking: Hey it just good ole free parking lot parking lol, w can I say?.“

“Nice restaurant!! Good food and extremely good prices especially for this day and age!!Parking: When I went there, there was plenty of open parking spots!!Kid-friendliness: Personally don't have kids but while there, there were kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice ramp leading up to the main entrance“

“I have been a many years customer of Clean Eatz. The cafe selections are pretty good. But mostly, I get their weekly meal plan. The main thing for me is portion control and the variety of meals. Great cooking, no, but satisfying enough, with the ease of microwave heating. It's been good enough for me to lose over 50 pounds in four years, it isn't a diet, though.And I recently discovered, that the owner of the Graceland Clean Eatz is opening a cafe in Grove City, very much close to me.“

“My family visited Rusty Bucket for dinner on a busy Thursday. Our dinner came quickly, the fish was hot, crunchy and delicious! The bacon burger was cooked perfectly. The parmesan chicken was crispy, saucy, cheesy and hot just like we like it! Our server Sierra was prompt and courteous. Thanks RB for a great meal!“

“Found this place searching best mac n cheese in Columbus. Got the Nashville chicken and the chicken parm. Both were phenomenal. Ate the hot chicken the night I got it. The flavors and qualities of the food was awesome, I personally would've liked it more without pickles but it really made the dish. The chicken parm I ate for lunch the next day. Cut hot dog style and air fried for more even heating and a great meal. The 15$ for their burritos I thought was steep until I got one. The size and quality of the food makes it well worth it and I'm definitely going back. The only downside is there's no restaurant face or dining area. You have to order online. And it seems 30-40 min usual wait during their dinner rush. I got there and ordered and just waited in my car. The actual place seems kind of skeevy and dark, with order locker windows, the guy working the window called it a ghost kitchen which is probably some trendy thing where a bunch of folks work kitchens out of a factory. Overall super cool and delicious, give it a try“

“We has just there, it was a bad experience!! The waitress was rude and our food was terrible. We had to wait for silverware, had to wait for our dessert and then top it off, stood their at the cash register for 10 minutes to pay our bill . We decided after today, we’re no longer going to be eating there. I would have never treated my customers they way we was treated“

“Ordered over phone staff was friendly and helpful. Took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready from start of calling. Food was on point ? everything was correct. Only negative I have to say was I ordered a loaf of banana bread and pumpkin and the pumpkin was somewhat dry tasty but dry. Banana bread is to die for.“

“This company catered for my event and everything was WONDERFUL! They food was hot, delicious, and we were highly impressed with the presentation and set up. I will definitely be using Vantes Kitchen again due to the professionalism and amazing food options!“

“A safe choice for my family. This Bob Evans was no exception. We were seated right away and within 10 minutes, ordered and recieved our food! And feeding 6 people under $60 is always a great thing! I had one of the new protien bowls and was not dissapointed!“

“There is one waitress that keeps my family and me coming back... Miss Anita! Of course the food is good, but if you really want an enjoyable experience where you don't expect to enjoy anything except the food, go to Bob Evans on Dublin Granville and ask to be seated in Anita's section! She's always there late afternoon through closing at 8pm on Friday to Monday.“
