“The best bartenders and a mixed crowd love it <3 Stephanie, and RJ are the dynamic duo!!!“

“We had placed a pick up order for two wildfire, chicken salads & We got all the way home to realize that the salad was missing the dressings. This is the third time this has happened to us, I’ve just never called about it. I’ve always just taken it as a loss and put my own dressing on it. Well, today I called and the manager Tyesha was super quick to fix the issue for me, she went out of her way to make me a new order, and included a free goodie because of the inconvenience. Thank you so much! This is what customer service is all about, she went out of her way to make this right for me and it just made the overall experience so much better!!“

“We love going to Smokey Bones Reynoldsburg. Deanna takes great care of us and the food is always great and the staff very friendly.“

“Friends and I went out for a fun time at Forty Deuces and it was phenomenal. We had VIP seats and hats off to the servers that checked on us regularly through the night and attended to our needs before we even realized we needed anything. Also for the venue, dancers, and band. Wow! You all clearly work so incredibly hard and it’s great to see it come together as a show. I look forward to future visits.“

“She was very helpful and pleasant“

“My friends and I came here for my birthday for brunch and it was nothing but a positive experience. I am new to the area so I am still trying to find where to go for good food and drinks. Our server David was very good and always made sure we were happy. I will be returning-- thank you for an awesome birthday brunch! :)“

“FOOD WAS HOT! THE FRIED ORANGE ROUGHY WAS PERFECT ALONG WITH THE SEASONING. 1000000000 WILL COME BACK. DEFINITELY WORTH THE DRIVE“

“This is one of the best restaurants for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. The food is consistent. I have visited all the locations in the area, and I can confidently say that the food quality, quantities, and flavor are consistent. My favorite meal selections are the cloud nine pancakes, applewood smoked bacon, homemade breakfast sausage, country breakfast, fresh buttermilk biscuit, classic cheeseburger, Northstar burger, fish sandwich, and chopped salad. I have never had a bad experience or meal at Northstar. This is the energy and sense of community that was present at Starbucks. You can see and feel through the experience and the atmosphere that Northstar is firmly committed to exceptional service and quality. This is my go-to spot to rewind, relax, and socialize.“

“My son has allergies to dairy, soy, and almond and sensitive to white potatoes! It’s so hard to eat out! We are out of town and decided to try this as we ate at the one in Cincinnati before he had allergies! The manager came out. The chef told him what they could do and the waitress was made aware and did an allergy ticket for his meal! The best service and we felt the allergy was taken serious! Would highly recommend!“

“Anna was amazing !!! Food was yum & service was so good“

“Great tasting food. Small town vibe. Personable staff.“

“Visited twice recently. Loved the breakfast food, awesome coffee, and peaceful atmosphere on our first visit. Our second visit was a late lunch. Food was still good, but service was slow, and some of our party had to wait about 10 minutes for their entrees to arrive while others started
eating. It was also quite noisy with piped in music at to high of a volume level to help conversations“

“We LOVE Culver’s!!! Food is hot & delicious every time!! Butter burgers are so good! Fries & cheese curds are awesome and the custard is creamy & hits the spot! Excellent customer service and clean atmosphere! My favorite fast food restaurant!“

“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! 🤍🤍🤍“

“Great service, food was delicious. My new favorite jerk restaurant.“

“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 🤷‍♀️“

“Fabulous food, great service!“

“My husband ordered take-out a few days ago and included a slice of apple pie for me. I don't usually have room for dessert, so usually skip it, but this pie was the best I have had in YEARS!! HIGHLY recommend! Delicious, and that was the next day! :)“

“Everything, Food Service Also the atmosphere is awesome been going there for many years for business meetings just a nice place to relax eat and enjoy“

“All the staff were very cordial and efficient Redding to all your needs, oh, and the food is great“

“Why are all the gems found in the rough? This was the best gyro I’ve had in Columbus The lamb was cooked to perfection regardless of how long it might have been sitting precooked. The pita was toasted on the flattop to the point it was crispy but didn’t break when folded. Fresh veggies were very surprising as well. Will be back but only in the middle of the day.“

“Big city atmosphere…. Small town service.

I tried to call in my order however the phone lines were busy but it didn’t matter because when I went into the establishment I felt welcomed. I was met with a friendly face by the name of Ms. Twyla. She greeted me and gave me a menu while she was finishing other tasks. When she took my order, she was very attentive to every detail and repeated the order back to me. I noticed that tap to post was not an option but that is definitely not a drawback due to the “vintage” diner vibe. I offered to wait in my car due to limited seating, however, my wait was less than 10 minutes. When my order was ready, she showed me each item to make sure I was satisfied with the presentation and even the chefs were attentive and looking for a positive reaction as well. No pictures were taken due to this being written after consumption, but the taste definitely matched the presentation. I am was impressed by the food and the service that Stav’s has officially become one of my favorite breakfast places near me and this my was first experience.“

“Great food good people good drinks nice atmosphere“

“I reserved a table for my husband and I to celebrate our recent marriage. It was Friday night and SO busy. Even though it was packed, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and open to discussing the menu. We were very appreciative of the gluten free modifications they made for us (and a lot of it didn't even need modified). Excellent cocktails and my husband was able to watch Chef and staff prepare (in the main lounge). The Sea Bass was excellent and my husband said the Waygu steak "will haunt my dreams." We finished with Creme Brûlée, which was already gluten free. We will definitely go back again.“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

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

“Our meal was great, and John did a wonderful job! Highly recommended!“

“I have celiac disease and have hard a time finding food that isn’t contaminated, especially pizza. The staff reassured me that they checked with kitchen multiple times to make sure nothing was being contaminated. It was by far the most delicious gluten free pizza I’ve had so far !“

“MCL Cafeteria is an awesome place! I totally recommend this restaurant. Not only is the food great, but the care and attention that the staff paid towards my nephew who is on the spectrum when he came to pick up his food was overwhelming. Johnny was so warm and nice and always asked how he was doing, and if they were out of something that I ordered from Cleveland, OH, she always had something else to recommend. She is just FABULOUS. Thank you all so much!“

“I was invited there for lunch today. Atmosphere is very nice and service was great. Since I wasn't paying I didn't order a steak. I ordered the lasagna special, which came with a side salad and bread. The salad and bread were delicious. The lasagna was good (not great) but the bottom layer was burned. It's made with sausage so has a slight spicy taste. Sauce was good. I was able to eat the top layers fine. Others ordered a cheeseburger and French dip. Each came with fries. They loved their lunches. The fries were shoestring and cooked perfectly. I did taste and they were delicious. Overall, I'd go again but I would probably get a burger and fries. Maybe a steak if I were going to dinner with my husband but honestly I doubt I go for dinner.“

“The Bon Aire is AMAZING! The service is impeccable and highly professional! Great customer service, great food, and great drinks!! However, the trash in the parking lot is disgusting and needs to be cleaned up ASAP! The parking lot should match the Bon Aire's amazing experience!!“

“Visited Delaney's in Grandview with a friend for breakfast , first time for both of us. Very pleased with atmosphere, service and quality of food. I highly recommend stopping in, plan to do so again.“

“O’Charley’s never disappoints when it comes to food—the meal was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portions were just right. However, our server seemed a bit distracted, which led to some delays and missed refills. It wasn’t a major issue, but it did take away from the overall experience. That said, I’d still come back for the great food and hope for more attentive service next time!“

“The best food!! we had the bbq jerk chicken and it was to DIE for. so tender, falls off the bone.“

“If it's an option, im there. You can't go wrong with the Cheesecake Factory. You know its going to be good. If it's not, something is wrong. The brunch is an easy fav. Eggs bene i can't pass up.. but the kimchi fried rice and eggs sounds wonderful... maybe I'll switch it up one day.“

“After taking our pet to the vet, we stopped into Birch Tavern for dinner. We sat on the patio since it was a nice day. The food was delivered fast and was delicious. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was good. My wife had the birch club sandwich, and I had the boneless chicken wings. They were comparable in size to Roosters. I enjoyed our experience there.“

“This restaurant was busy! Shout out to the Manager for running a smooth operation! We had a party of 8 people. Our waitress didn’t miss a beat. Everyone’s food was served simultaneously and piping hot.

I had the Redrock shrimp with rice. It was delicious and the shrimp was cooked perfectly.

I am not from Ohio, but would visit again if the opportunity presents itself.

“I'm Big on Patios. Today was my first time here & I was greeted with a wonderful smile.“

“I cannot say enough praise for the food and people of The Good Kitchen. I’ve had their food many times and it is the best soul and comfort food around. I took my kids recently to have it and they are some of the pickiest eaters. They all gave it 5 stars and loved the Mac and cheese, the fried chicken, and the green beans.“

“Lunch was yummy, service excellent. It was my first time there, but I’ll surely be back.“

“good service and good food“

“The donuts and rolls are great and they recognize my hubby as a regular!“
