“Everyone else in my group said it was the best ribeye they ever had. For me it was second best. But they cannot get beef from South Africa.Owners really should not shut the door in peoples faces just before posted closing time. Not very Southern.“

“Pub Style EateryThis is one of those local, scratch kitchen spots (to me anyways). Always a great visit so I wanted to review our meal for those wondering. Not a huge space but I recommend the bar area for some drinks and TVs playing the local games.We chose the Buffalo Chicken Salad and the Gyro Salad The spice in either the buffalo sauce or the dressing was Perfect flavor and HUGE portions. Also loaded with REAL bacon pieces! The Gyro Salad was VERY good as well. Loaded with veggies and feta to make the perfect mix. I kept with the House Tzatziki and I can't say how good it was. Flavor pair perfectly with the rest just as it would with traditional Mediterranean style cuisine. Also it was HUGE and barely at it all. Well left some lettuce behindWe got the Gingerbread Martini and the Gimlet. Both delicious but I will say the Gingerbread was a seasonal drink. If you go now you might be able to get one!Service was VERY attentive by the initial server and 3 more coming to check on us. All in all, Zachary's never disappoints and we will be back when in the area.PS- they have Daiquiris as well“

Chitterlings Yams Mac& Cheese

“Great catfish, black-eyed peas, cabbage, sweet potatoes, mac'n'cheese, meatloaf, fried chicken, and a lot of other dishes as well. Excellent spot to get traditional items that can be hard to find, such as chitlins, turkey necks, pork necks, and other home-cookin' staples. Pro tip: get there right when they open. They are very popular and only have a few parking spots. Also, you'll have to wait a while as the line can get long. If you're *really* late, they'll run out of items. Be aware, too, that the selection changes depending on what they make that day. Everyone there is EXTREMELY friendly! They are very kind people who love their customers! The restaurant is tiny -- a lot of people get their food to go.“

Michael' s Sports Bar Bar • $$
716 Alabama Street, Columbus

“We came to 716 for some drinks before the Bandits game. The place is huge. TV's everywhere, and a whole wall which is a TV. There are 2 full bars that I saw. One upstairs and one downstairs. We had a few drinks at the upstairs bar. The place was hopping, but with such a big place, we had no problem getting a drink. The bartenders we're very friendly and attentive. I can't speak on the food as I didn't have any, but given this experience at the bar, I would be interested in trying 716 again for a sit down meal.“

Our server Jamya was exemplary and checked on us often without being a pest.The manager, if he passed our table, made it a point to ask if we were enjoying the food and thanking us for choosing them. I've been in much less crowded Applebee's with far far less efficiency. I could tell this place runs like a well-oiled machine!The food (lime chicken lunch special, and Bourbon St. chicken and shrimp for hubby) was delicious and appealingly plated.100% recommended to all!!“
