“This was my first time going to Townhall. I’ve been wanting to go there for quite some time because I have a lot of food allergies it was beyond my expectations! The food was outstanding the service impeccable and I’m so excited to bring my Special Needs son who also has allergies back down. Lilly was our server and she answered my many questions and was extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. we’re very much looking forward to coming back.“

“Had breakfast at Portside a few days ago. Total cost was around $13. I got an omelette with crumbled sausage which came with an order of toast. I also ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was fantastic! And it was huge. We had a party of 11 guys and the service was amazing. This lady knew what she was doing! From what I could tell everyone was happy with their food. I saw people getting pancakes, omelettes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, etc. most of the bills were less than $10.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“

“Stopped in for happy hour-ordered the KFC bites, fried green tomatoes, and deviled eggs. All 3 were fantastic! The entrees were delicious and the cocktails were incredible! Service was also top tier!“

“Perfect evening. Food was amazing and the wait staff went above and beyond. Recommend and early-ish reservation on a Friday Saturday evening as the Short North becomes busy, loud. Perfect restaurant for an early dinner before evening activities. Thank you Guild House.“

“First and foremost, I’d like to thank Simon the bartender for making my first time at The Pearl an experience. Words can’t describe how great of a host he was. Simon recommended nothin but best drinks and food. He didn’t miss. First was N’Awlins Oysters were phenomenal and the Hanger Steak was out of this world! The pearl is a classic vibe with an upbeat aesthetic. If you’re thinking about going here, don’t second-guess it just go!!

Also, I’d like to thank Nick the manger for running such a fine establishment and taking his time out to talk to me about my experience.“

“🍷 Growing up in Italy, I’m naturally a little picky when it comes to Italian food, but Forno Kitchen + Bar has become one of my favorite spots here. I often come for their wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, both full of authentic flavor that instantly take me back to evenings in Turin. The warm atmosphere, paired with a good glass of wine, makes every visit feel like a little taste of home“

“I've been to this location to enjoy dinner on multiple occasions. 85% of the time, the entire experience is fantastic, but my most recent experience left me wanting. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues tied to getting our bill correct, and then, adding insult to injury, I ended up going home with a considerable stomachache. Fortunately, it didn't end up being any worse than that, but let's just say I had some concerns on that drive. 😬 but besides that, the food was very tasty, came out quickly, and I believe was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who comprised the party - being made up of eight people. That is another point: this location can accommodate larger groups as well as smaller groups. Also, I strongly recommend the chocolate chip cookie 🍪 , which I know couldn't have been the culprit of my stomachache, because I saved it to enjoy at a later time. In fact, the chocolate chip cookie is one of the primary reasons why I'm excited to go to Northstar whenever it comes up as a dining option! The homemade ginger ale and kombucha are favorites of mine, as well as the North Star Burger - and that is coming coming from somebody who is a meat-eater most of the time! Enjoy!“

“Such a great place. Love the natural light and nice people.“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“What an ABSOLUTE GEM!!! The restaurant gives off a charming yet cozy feel, with moody dim lighting and a big crackling fireplace in the center of the dining room that makes you feel at home🤎 we also had the most incredible and accommodating server, shoutout to Jay who hand wrote his favorite Columbus foodie recommendations out for us since we’re new to the area!!! NOW ONTO DINNER: the iron skillet cheddar biscuits are an absolute must!! Served warm and brushed with salted better, they’re just delicious👌🏽followed by the grilled artichokes served with an excellent creamy remoulade!! We also ordered the Hollywood Salad and the Barbequte pork ribs- the meat was fall of the bone tender and the coleslaw + fries complemented the dish perfectly!!

Friendly, attentive service and a polished atmosphere make it a great spot for date nights or special dinners.“

“The best of the best. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Have been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it in today with my best friend, what a disappointment. Their posted hours show open till 2:30 pm, we arrived at 1:50 (plenty of time for some pancakes and coffee.) The weight staff was in full on cleanup mode and made it Very obvious they were done working for the day with the way we were greeted. I ordered decaf coffee and was told there was none left so decided to have regular and then didn't even get a full cup of that. At $4.99 a pop I need a full cup. I looked at my friend and said "they don't want to wait on us they are annoyed that they are already cleaning up and we came in" she agreed so when the server came back I politely said "we will just elsewhere we can tell you're cleaning up for the day" There was no "oh you are fine, you still have 40 minutes" or anything like that there just " are you sure?" We left and headed down the street to Delaney's Diner who would also be closing in about an hour at 3 PM but a TOTALLY different vibe. Greeted with a smile from the person at the hostess stand and 2 of the chefs even looked over and smiled and said welcome come on in! We looked at each other and said much better, we are definitely in the right place now. I've heard nothing but good things about the pancakes at the Pancake House I only wish I would have got to experience them But being treated well is more important to me than food. I understand wanting to be done work for the day believe me but it wasn't like we walked in with 3 minutes till closing. Oh well 🤷‍♀️“

“the food was amazing, and the service was top notch. try the fried b&b pickles“

“Fun atmosphere! Go Irish ☘️“

“I stopped in while back in town for Christmas. I had a great smash burger, fries, and cheese curds. All were great. The sauces were all homemade and great as well. Everyone was friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend Ash & Em in Hilliard.“

“3rd time here and this place has never disappointed! Always greeted by a friendly host and a very gracious server. Tammy is addicted to the meatloaf and I am a fool for their grilled Baja tacos! Wonderful atmosphere and let's not forget the dessert! I love the New York cheesecake, and my lady daydreams about their Sticky bun bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! would highly recommend and will be back!“

“We had a great time. Beautiful location, excellent coffee, seriously delicious food, friendly staff. We’re here from Wheeling,WV, but will DEFINITELY make the trip back!“

“We enjoyed their informal Wednesday aftrnoon Bluegrass music. I put some photos at:“

“Great food, lots of fine dinners to choose from. Their bison steak is the best I've had anywhere! I had some garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots with that and some lemonade. I've dined in this place before, ate bison burgers but this time I opted for their bison filet steak, and it was delicious. The whole meal was. Facilities are clean, now with soap dispensers placed around for your convenience. I hadn't been to this area since Covid hit and that has changed everything but I'm happy this restaurant is still in business. I came to eat there because I wanted to eat a fine meal before seeing the German band Kraftwerk that evening. The waitress was very quick in serving the food and very friendly. Sure, the dinners may be more expensive and there's not many restaurants in the Nationwide Arena area now, but why not go for something unique and special to add to your fun day? I have eaten here before and after attending events such as hockey games, Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, RUSH, (Jeff Lynne's) ELO, Adam Ant, Noel Gallagher and more throughout the Arena District. I'm glad this place is still around after all that's occurred during the past few years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who attends any event in the Arena District. It's as good as it ever was, maybe better. Food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness - ***** out of five. I will certainly eat at this place again, just as I have at previous times. Kudos! 😋🙂😇“

“Drove by while out and about looked cool so checked the menu online and decided to stop in. Great decision the staff was friendly and the food was excellent! Decided to try their Sunday 10oz new york strip for 16.99 and it was one of the best cooked steaks I've had in a long time. I had their fries which they make in house so good! All in all 5 stars 🌟“

“excellent food. amazing breakfast and service!“

“Awesome survive, quick on getting food out. Refills are quick too. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of too much was the paper straws. I still do recommend! 🤍🤍🤍“

“Fabulous food, great service!“

“I just had dinner at Easton location, today is 12th of December 2025. Lauren took care of me at the bar. I want to compliment how professional and pleasant she is! It truly adds to the experience, I enjoyed my meal a little bit more than usual just because of her warm and friendly energy! Love Lauren! ❤️ And the management's been friendly and very helpful (the gentleman wearing a buttoned down shirt, I'm guessing it's the manager. My burger was a little bit undercooked, but they fixed it for me no problem!🙂)
Thank you, Northstar Cafe for taking such wonderful care of your customers! It makes me want to come here to eat a lot more!“

“Beechwold is one of my favorite Northstar Cafe locations in Columbus. Dinning room is aesthetically pleasing and so cozy. Service is always too notch and the food is second to none. Breakfast to dinner, menu is so diverse and yummy! Get the cheeseburger or the Beechwold salad and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“spacious rooms, nice shower, neat and clean hotel and all right in the middle of tons of shopping.“
