Not only was the burger absolutely delicious but it was huge!!! They are not stingy with their food portions! Their prices are very reasonable. I love this place. 10/10 highly recommended!“

“Cook’s Place is a Columbus institution. There are other items on the menu, but you come here for hot dogs, including the locally famous scrambled dog. I prefer the chili dog, and the fries are on point.

“My husband I dined here after a show at Springer. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I enjoyed the decor, especially the little lights on the tables. My husband ordered a steak, and I chose the crab cakes. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection, and both meals tasted very fresh and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. We plan to visit again, and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want quality food and exceptional service.“

“The Loft is the #1 spot for live music in Columbus. They offer a variety of music on a few different stages and have excellent sound equipment and technicians. They are also known for exceptional staff and service. It is a staple in the southern music scene, and the owner has been providing top notch entertainment nonstop since the 1990's.“

“This is my favorite date spot in town! It’s a little pricey, but the food is amazing!! I love the ever-changing menu and unique and incredibly tasty drinks! My only complaint would be that it’s not even remotely kid friendly, but that could also be a good thing for many. 😆“

“I love Cheddars! I have never ordered anything that I didn't enjoy eating. Seems to always be cooked to perfection and delivered to the table in a timely manner. Hot, fresh, and delicious. The wait staff we have had has always been on top of things. And they allowed us to sit and visit with friends even after our meal was finished. Again, I love Cheddars. They have several choices to please different people's taste. The prices are right for the serving amounts. I recommend Cheddars!“

“The staff in the establishment are top-tier best service that I have had in Columbus, Georgia in a very long time. The manager is simply amazing and make sure that her customers are taken care of. The DJ is on point and play something for everybody that you can vibe to. My new favorite drink is the Georgia peach. The wings are amazing and I love the street corn dip.! Definitely give this place 10/10“

Gus was our to- go attendant, he made us feel so welcome we are coming back this weekend to dine in. He was prompt, friendly, and welcoming. Our food was packaged well. If more franchises had what Longhorns have in Gus they are starting off on the right track! Best to go experience I have ever had! Thanks Gus, for your excellent customer service!“

“I went with my boyfriend and we got Liz as a server. We ordered our food and a few minutes later Liz comes back to show something to my boyfriend. She showed him that we could get a free entree with a purchase of another entree and two drinks. We had no idea about that, completely missed the sign when walking in. Because of this we saved $17. We can't thank Liz enough for saving us that extra money. She was very sweet and provided excellent service. We would return to this location just to see her again.“

“Blueberry pancakes are awesome!!!
It wasn't too busy, however slow service.
Brought my hash browns and bacon out before my pancakes I had to wait on longer, while my company received their entire meal before me
Which makes it awkward for him to go ahead and eat, as he was waiting for my food to arrive as well.“

“The people that wait on you are awesome“

“$35 for these plates, over flowing and seasoned to perfection was not bad. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite rinsed with sweet tea. A southern girls delight. Everyone’s experience with others is their own but the food was worth every penny!“

“Our food was delicious and we’ll definitely go again.“

“Fun family environment! My girls loved it the food was amazing! Highly suggest the wings and quesadilla! The wings have so much meat on them and the flavors are amazing !!!“
