“Great little Italian restaurant. Family run for at least the past 35-40 years?❤️❤️Parking: Parking out front and on the side will fill up during peak hours. Behind the store is parking for a nearby shopping center. It’s a very small walk from restaurant to plenty of parking if you can’t find a spot up front.”
“My parents used to take me to ding Hoback in the 60s.We used to get egg rolls and flew them back to florida every year. I'm flying through Columbus on Friday and going straight toding ho love this place.”
“I ate at Georgesville tonight. I read on reviews they are charging for take out containers for left overs and pick up orders. I checked my receipt, sure enough. I got charged $1.69 fee for 1 take out container. I'll be checking all my receipts from here on out.I love the salsa. The food is yummy. I couldn't ask for better service. I love eating here.”
“First time here. Everything was good. Food was good. And served fast! Our server was nice. They were busy. Smile more ?. The place is smaller than we thought it would be. We will return. Thank you ?”

“Holey donuts! That is actually what they are called on the menu and they live up to the name. For a place that is not known for donuts, they were better than any I have had from a donut shop in Columbus. The donuts themselves are little nuggets of soft, cakey goodness, but it is the dipping sauces that really make it special. One is a fruit jam and the other is a dark chocolate sauce. We ate other food too and it was good, but get those donuts while you can. They are a limited seasonal special. Service was great as well.”
“Super fast clean and friendly. Amber was my server and she is amazing. Super attention and she has a laugh that you can hear across the room and it makes you laugh too. Mike was the front host and he was awesome too and organized!!”
“Our server was great. The restaurant was lovely inside. The bathrooms were clean. My only complaint was the sesame chicken was very salty. Everything else was great. Will definitely be back.”

“Great food.Couple days ago, in my door dash review, I included that I didn't get a spy sauce packet, then seconds later I noticed it was there, just hidden. I felt bad for leaving that in my review and tried to edit (even called) but unable to until I ordered again and leave another review. Feel bad for that so wanted to update my (already 5 star) review on Google. This place is awesome.”

“The young lady working the counter was very nice and friendly. We had the 4 scoop sampler which is actually a very good deal. There are so many flavors to choose from.”
“The ham baguette is great: not sure where they get the cultured butter they use on it, but it is amazing. Ham and swiss croissant and apple crostada were both excellent as well. Everything I've had with fruit and their white cream cheese like frosting is also delicious.Coffee drinks are very well made as well.Seating can be somewhat limited during peak times, but they do have a nice counter along the window into the bakery production space which I've never seen completely full. There's also a small patio out back if the weather is nice.Vegetarian options: The majority of their offerings are vegetarian.Parking: Decent free parking lot attached to the building and a city metered lot attached as well.Kid-friendliness: Fairly kid friendly although the limited seating could be an issue.”
“This place is fun! The atmosphere is upbeat and the staff are great. We really enjoyed Dee and Nick. They were both personable and funny. You can tell that they enjoy working there. We appreciated them coming over and sharing pointers on technique.The drinks are great but they don’t serve food. You can, however, bring food there.”

“Grilled cheese burger was even better than I imagined it would be. I had a shake that featured, banana, peanut butter & bacon & and honestly, it made my day better!”

“Great atmosphere. Clean and fast service. Friendly employees. Great selection of beers. No beer list to hold you need to go to the website to see all the beer options. Today they had 2 German beer offerings.Vegetarian options: They have the impossible burger and salads. Also gluten free buns are availableWheelchair accessibility: No hold open doors. The wind made it hard to open the doors.”
“High quality baked goods. Wish there was more seating though. It’s only outdoors and limited and there’s usually always a long line to wait. Would love it to have more seating :)”
“I sat at the bar and had a great Manhattan, made by David! The food was also good.David was very attentive, yet not bothersome. I wanted to enjoy a couple drinks before eating dinner and that's exactly what I was able to do!”

“Okay. Wow. I don’t even know where to start. I could rave about this place for days. I found out I was allergic to gluten a few years ago, & haven’t been able to find “the restaurant” yet that I can truly come to every week. WELL THAT CHANGED. I had such an amazing experience. Allie was my waitress & she was SO kind. She gave off such great energy & a joy to talk to. I even told her to surprise me with a few meals to take home. She killed it. The atmosphere here is so inviting & welcoming. The staff was fun & friendly, & made me feel like this is a place I could come to just say hi & feel comfortable. You can tell this place has great people & great spirits. HECK they even had GLUTEN FREE PIE. (Like WHAT?!) I’m so happy I came across this place & honestly cannot wait to come back & tell everyone about it. Thank you so much for making my experience so good, & honestly bringing such a big smile to my face!! :)”
“A great and classic breakfast place. It opened early and served friendly. I ordered a loaded hash browns with sausage gravy, grilled onions, eggs and muffins. The sausage gravy tasted amazing, but there was too much oil at the bottom. I got my food quickly but the service was a little less attentive. WiFi was broken and there was no power outlet to do some laptop work.”

“Great place to try out games and hang out with friends. The staff is super nice and will help with rules and food/drink recommendations. Definitely recommend for all ages!”
“This was our first trip to Jeff Ruby's. We will definitely be returning. The restaurant was beautiful, we were greeted and quickly seated upon arrival. We had the perfect booth looking out at the restaurant. The entire wait staff was great but we were blessed with an incredible waiter-Patrick! He was so kind, personable, attentive and provided wonderful recommendations. Very knowledgeable about the menu! It was one of the best meals I've had! After the delicious meal, Patrick recommended the Butter Pie. We ordered it and could not have been happier! It was incredible! Well worth every penny!! Definitely consider Jeff Ruby's for your next date night, anniversary or any other celebration! We will be back!”
“Marcella's is one of our favorites and our go-to for celebrations. We were celebrating two Birthdays last night. Excellent food and service. Our only complaint - we were offered two complimentary desserts but looking back at receipt this morning I notice we were charged for both.”
“I dined at Agni last night. From the moment we walked in the door we were encompassed in hospitality. Our waiter went above and beyond to make us comfortable and describe the components of each course. I absolutely loved the tasting menu and the surprises along the way. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had and worth every penny. I did the vegetarian course and my companions did the main tasting menu. I felt like I was tasting complex flavor combinations that just intensified with each bite. Highly recommend going for your own special occasions.”
“We go to Valter's for brunch every time my family comes in from out of state. We usually have 10+ people, they always accommodate. The food, atmosphere, and service are top notch. Love it here.”
“We shared the tempura calamari. I ordered the smoked salmon rosti, key lime pie. with a blood orange margarita, and my boyfriend had the spicy chicken sandwich, French onion soup. It was amazing. Our server was delightful.”
“Our service from Jimmy was fantastic. He took great care of us all night. Anna brought our dishes out hot and quickly as well. She was so personable and friendly. Top notch work from the team all around. Our party had a great time and a great experience!!! Thank you.”
“Loved the food and the atmosphere, refreshing and relaxing atmosphere with some of the best food. A nice change to have a wide variety of small plates all exquisite. Everything was above and beyond. Loved the idea of the dual tasting menu or create your own was nice.”
“I was seated promptly, My guest and I talked for a while before ordering. The waitress was still attentive and patient. We finally ordered a glass of wine and the meat ball appetizer. The wine and the meatballs were delicious. I will go there again and try an main course.”
“Amazing experience! This is my first time trying Indian food and this place was great. The server was super nice. Restaurant was clean. And food was out within 5 minutes! And the food was delicious!”
“Money well spent. Best tasting, best value meal in the city IMO. The service was unbelievably fast! Couple fun facts, don’t expect to walk in, have your reservation made. We saw multiple people get turned away (even single diners). It took me a month to get a reservation at the time I wanted (reservations online only). It’s important to level set yourself, you’ll need to plan to eat here. It’s also important to share you can order take out starting at 4:30 and will go as long as they can keep up. ( expect to go orders to fill up quickly and not be available later in the day). The only way you will be able walk in will be during patio season- may the odds be ever in your favor.”
“Great 1st experience overall. The only slight complaint I would have is the portions are relatively small so you don't get a lot of value for the high cost, but every single thing we ordered was delicious, so would strongly recommend.”
“We’ve been twice and had a blast! We’ve tried the fries, wings, and gluten free pizza and all were so good! I’ve tried at least 3 cocktails and enjoyed two so far (apparently I don’t like Campari lol). Great atmosphere and great music!”
“my partner and i split the stuffed peppers, pita w 3 dips, and the oyster steak w potatoes.they can def cook a veg here, but for the price point, the flavor wasn't it for me compared to other veg spots in major cities priced similarly :( the pita was a bit too oily, and the oyster steak was quiiiiite saltydrinks were good but not greatstill love a date night vibe veg spot tho, and am hoping the oyster steak was a fluke”
“I was there this particular evening with a large family party. I'll admit bonefish isn't on my top list, but tonight the food was great. The 3 servers we had were super nice. I appreciate great they were. I hate that I can't remember their names were supposed to be a party of 19. Thank ”

“Absolutely delicious. We tried the 45’s, the jalapeños, and the regulars, and they all were spectacular. What’s great about really good NATURAL food is that you notice the absence of processing and junk. It tastes better in every way. You’ll notice these are not your average dogs right away. My recommendation is to order two of each, just do it, because you’ll be sad when you run out!”
“The staff is amazing there, they are very personable and fun. The cook Rob is amazing. I go here at least once a week and it's always pleasant. I recommend this waffle house any day. Thank you waffle house team for being there and making my day every time I stop in ?”
“Haven't been to a Waffle House in 25 years! Treated my 88yr young Dad to a good time, great food and exceptional empty coffee cups skills! Not much has changed...except that pay, for central Ohio? even better. $26+/hr?? SALUTE. I'm seriously considering going back to my roots, and applying!”
“Appt @ noon, was a little clustered when I got here, trucks in the way waiting on doors, I was on the rdp side, easy backing, friendly unloaders, didn't take very long offloading, overall a good experience.”
“The service was absolutely fantastic at this location. The food was out prompt and accurate.Parking: There were more than enough parking spots and the parking was free.”
“The Food Fort within ECDI (Economic and Community Development Institute) does an excellent job helping entrepreneurs in the foodservice industry, and holds some really outstanding events that showcase the great food and amazing business concepts of these talented entrepreneurs.”
“Best customer service I've had in a while. Came in on Christmas Eve and the waitress, cooks and manager all had the best attitudes and the food was amazing. Definitely the best waffle house experience I've had.”
“I love going here when I don’t want to cook. My favorite is the eggs. Nothing amazing about the taste. But I enjoy the atmosphere & the fact I don’t have to cook! 5/5 stars ⭐️”
“Omg I'm 49 n this is the first time I thought I had the best breakfast ever at a waffle house Jordan and Isiah service was superb the food immaculate I will never go to another waffle house in Columbus this place was beyond 5”
“There were a couple of drunk girls there but the staff member Cassie handled them so well and she was such a sweetheart the food was fantastic as always will be going back ”
“I work 3rd shift close to this location so I visit frequently for their bacon egg and cheese on toast which is somehow so delicious. But the gentleman who runs that shift is definitely an asset to that store and just deserves a shout out. Nothing but professional everytime I go!”
“Went there pretty early in the morning Around four they were open still serving dinner items which was a plus. Other than that I mean it's got average wait time staff that's not overly friendly just kind of normal just working their job not bad but not extraordinary either would recommend for a quick bite if that's what you ”
“I really got to find a place to live because my biggest issue is I was evicted over my disability. Despite it being against the federal housing act. The Franklin County municipal Court would not process the case as it was a disability discrimination case which is a violation of the federal housing act. The legal aid society supported it and most of all green quarters LLC demanded it multiple times and eventually they gave him what he wanted. So if it wasn't for that fact, I would not have to visit so many fast food restaurants and make reviews about my experiencing there Consequently, I've been relying on fast food restaurants for meals. Unfortunately, my experiences have been consistently disappointing. Yesterday, for example, my sausage egg and cheese sandwich lacked cheese. This is after multiple instances of getting very very very old eggs on my sandwiches , As a homeless individual, dining out is my only option for hot meals, and it's disheartening when orders are consistently incorrect. I hope to soon have stable housing and cook my own meals, but until then, I simply ask for accurate service when I visit.”
“This is the best white Castle! They're let us Caucasians say the n-word!!! The guy at the window called me Playa and gave me a dap... I'll be back again for ”
“Margaret helped me today and she was amazing. My order was initially messed up but she went above and beyond to correct it and make sure I was satisfied. That’s how you get returning customers! Thank you so much Margaret!”
“My wife and I have gone to the tavern on 3 occasions now for date nights for a few hours. Every visit has been fun and special. Drink menus are creative and have a good selection of options. Food is tasty. The food menu is not extensive, but if you spot something it is worth getting to pair with the experience. Parking is difficult bit we have been able to get a spot. Game selection is great and you can bring games also. Staff is very friendly, approachable, kind and helpful if you have food or game questions.Parking: Lot is only accessible from the eastbound lanes on Bethel Road. We've been lucky and there's roughly 1 spot available to park. Lot is shared with another business as well.”
“We celebrated National Margarita Day with a pitcher of “Mustache Rides” and we were pleasantly surprised! Don’t be fooled by the size of the pitcher, they pack a punch for sure. We do wish they would back off on the ice a bit in the pitcher allowing more of the margarita goodness to serve the 4 of us. None the less, it was a tasty concoction. As for the food, this will be one of our regular stops from now one. Queso, guac, and salsa are all highly recommended. The chips and salsa are “help yo’self”, as much as you like. Genius! The tacos slap and be sure to upgrade to Weesy-style because the goodness overtook the importance of mindful eating at that point. They go out of their way of helping you save a buck while filling your belly on Tuesdays with a price cut on their tacos and I would suggest getting in early. Be generous to the staff, they really do a great job! Atmosphere has a funky vibe and a great playlist. If you are looking for gluten-free options, you will feel right at home.”
“First time visit, will definitely be back. The service and food were both perfect. We had the biscuits and honey butter in a skillet, tacos (shrimp and grilled chicken both delicious), and the butter cake for dessert. The butter cake was delicious!! We were also pleased when our check came that we received our butter cake complimentary since we were first time visitors.”

“The 2 Chefs are amazing and the food is excellent. All of the waitresses are amazing women. No complaints at all. I guess it may be a little tight in there, but it's the intamacy of the "Diner" experience.Parking: A few parking spaces in front, but most parking spaces in the back of the diner.”

“Absolutely LOVED the garlic feta fries, the falafel plate, the 3-dips appetizer, the gyro sandwich and shawarma plate... We tried nearly half of the menu! ?Not only was the food awesome, but the staff were super friendly, with good senses of humor, and helpful with our chaos ordering (we wanted EVERYTHING!).I wanted to lick my plate once the food was gone, and raved about how glad we ate there for the one meal in Columbus while traveling. 10/10 recommend, and hope to venture through Ohio again someday just to eat here again!Vegetarian options: The dips (the cream ones would obviously only be vegetarian, not vegan) were AMAZING, in Guy Fieri speak, I'd eat 'em on a flip flop! Olives and feta were good too,but the garlic fries and falafel plate were seriously AWESOME, and a great serving size too! Some of the best food I've ever had, vegetarian or not!”
“Awesome pizza. I know there are many places that make Columbus-style pizza in Columbus, but this is a cut above. Great crust, sauce, pepperoni and especially sausage. Seems like a well run place, especially for how old it is.”
“The food was great. The dining experience was not. When you walk in your senses are smacked with the overwhelming aroma of fabuloso. Like they drench the building in it (I say that as someone who loves fabuloso). It was also freezing sitting in the dining room. It was a cold day, 40 degrees out and the door would get stuck open anytime someone came in or out. There is also a visible gap on the door. I suggest diluting the fabuloso that is heavily sprayed on each table whenever a guest leaves and also fixing the front door.The sandwiches were amazing. The cilantro pasta salad, delicious. No quarrels there. Next time we will take it to go.Kid-friendliness: There was a high chair available for my son. Thanks!”

“Food is really good I am a huge sushi fan they have a decent buffet. Service was good they just need to listen to the customer more they took our plate before after we asked them not to but I think it was miscommunication. Overall this is a very good restaurant just needs minor details altered.”
“I love the Carnitas here , the gorditas and tostadas are sooo good. Somedays its good customers and other days it’s not the same customer service. Somedays you will find somewhere to sit others day you gotta eat in your car. Somedays it’s clean and other days it’s dirty. I got over the inconsistency, because it’s the best carnitas in town, I been going to this place for 6 years now.”
“Food was good, although it wasn’t what I ordered. Prices are good. Service friendly. Atmosphere is perfect “hole in the wall, working class”. No pretentiousness. As a bonus, they guarantee your safety while you’re there.”

“This place is the best! I used to operate a vegan food cart, and a place like this was my dream! It didn't happen for me, but I'm glad to see they're so successful! The house made deli meats and sauces are amazing! The decor reminds me of my first apartment. I love it. I can tell they care about their customers and their product. I'll be back again and again!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming space with plenty of room now for families.”

“Love the food and service at Rodos. We've been about 5 times every week for the Monday Gyro special, and the food is always delicious! We've had Dimitri as our waiter, and I can tell the whole staff cares about the restaurant.”
“A great place to drink! The ciders are delicious and great priced. Will definitely be a regular going forward! Thank you for providing a great place to drink Ciders! ”
“We just returned from Kenya, and had to try this place - we loved it and it satisfied our desire for the African cuisine: great service, excellent food with large portions (my wife even finished her plate), and inspiring decor!”
“I am impressed with the clean and updated feel as well as friendly staff! The music is pop-ish with a calm but energetic feel, quiet enough to talk over.I got spicy tofu and pork spring rolls with customary salad and garlic rice. I am not a "Big" eater and I had to box up almost half because I was SO satisfied and full!Thanks to Jessa Mae and her fellow Bar Friends! My Makers and coffee was perfect as well as my house Old Fashion ☺️I am SO excited to bring friends here when in this side of town again ?”
“We went on a Sunday afternoon and were the only people there. We ordered two bowlsand fries. The fries are hand cut and amazing, especially when dipped in the house sauce. Loved everything about this place, will definitely be coming back!”
“If you never volunteered you would not know how amazing it is to help those unfortunate and the staff that does this on a day-to-day basis and they could really use the help from everyone”
“Food - 4/5Service - 5/5Ambiance - 4/5 (Only Outdoor seating available)Price - Mid RangeOrdered a takeout for 6 piece wings, and a chicken teriyaki sub. The wings were awesome, but the bread for the sub wasn't great. It felt very dry. The flavor was good though.Overall, it's worth a visit if you're around.”
“Danie is an amazing server! She always knows what I want and she greets me with open arms. She is attentive and just a wonderful person. I love her personality, her “spunk”, and her drive.Thank you Danie!!!!”
“One of our fav fast casual restaurants in the area. Perfect quick bite for our twins and us parents too! This location seems really well run and the food was so fresh when we visited on Saturday evening.”
“5 stars all around. Comfortable place full of smiling faces. Didn't know what to expect with the food but it was amazing from the hummus to the gyros, and the soup and tea. Vegi dishes too. Totally ”
“We love to discover America through its local cuisine so we had to try #CincinnatiChili while traveling thru Ohio. I heard we had to try the place, to experience Cincinnati chili (made with meat only) and that THE place to try THE chili was #SkylineChili . we were seated quickly and the waitress gave a quick explanation of the regional dish, which was appreciated. My husband opted for two mini hotdogs — coneys, my bad —“Skyline’s classic Coney is a specially made hot dog in a steamed bun with mustard, covered with our original secret-recipe chili, diced onions” my husband doesn’t like cheese on a lot of foods so he avoided the freshly shredded cheese. But he really enjoyed his Coneys. I’m the opposite I love cheese on most things so I went for the prize, a 5-way Skyline’s signature dish – steaming spaghetti covered with their original secret-recipe chili and topped with a mound of shredded cheddar cheese, beans and onion. I loved it. So much flavor and all ingredients that I love. It’s like they took my favorite foods and put them together. I added some hot sauce to some of it and that was also nice. I look forward to eating more Cincinnati Chili in the future. And Skyline was a good place to try it. #chilli5ways #skylinechili #coneywithchilli #ohio”
“Been here now twice staff is friendly attentive helpful prices are very reasonable for what you get everything we got was fresh and tasted delicious ? The coffee toffee ice cream I got was very good overall highly recommend this location.”
“Brown butter bourbon pecan!!!! One of my favorite ice creams and will continue to be. I haven’t been inside the store, but I do frequent the drive thru ever so often. For the most part-the staff is knowledgeable about their offerings. Most staff I encountered were nice and friendly. This place is close to me and offers the ice cream that I love so of course I’m going to be a repeat customer.”
“The food is amazing! Authentic Italian and my favorite dish is arrabbiata over penne with fresh mozzarella and a Sanpellegrino as my drink! The owner is so kind- I have been eating here since 2010. Love you guys!Kid-friendliness: Absolutely amazing customer service!”
“Definitely a 10/10 experience. The food was absolutely fantastic went with my whole family and everyone just loved the people and the food would highly recommend this place to others. Will definitely be back!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Had my disabled father and was very wheelchair friendly!”

“Our service from Jimmy was fantastic. He took great care of us all night. Anna brought our dishes out hot and quickly as well. She was so personable and friendly. Top notch work from the team all around. Our party had a great time and a great experience!!! Thank you.”
“Great atmosphere! My work rented out the back room. Perk is that you can bring your own food. Nice big TV to watch games. They even have a heated patio area. Drinks were very good and decently priced. Highly recommend the warm cider with a shot!”
Fine Dining
“My husband and I had dinner on this past Friday evening and it was such a wonderful experience. Not only was the food FANTASTIC and DIVERSE, but the service was out of this world. We were so lucky that Katheryn took care of us for the evening. She was genuine in her food recommendations and explanation of the inner workings of the restaurant itself and of the menu and foods that we had never tried before. The CHEF even came out as our entree was served and explained how to eat the bone marrow and recommended a beer to my husband that complimented the meal. We enjoyed the evening so much, and Katheryn might be my new best friend- she was phenomenal! As self proclaimed “foodies” we live to eat, and FYR did not disappoint.”
“I’ve been looking for a good soul food place to eat at and this is the place ! I’ve had the wing dinner and the wings were phenomenal! I’m definitely coming back here :)”
“We went to Easton for a weekend of shopping,l and swimming. We got breakfast one morning at the Bistro for us and our kids.It was perfect.Starbucks coffee, fresh fruit, crispy tater tots, perfectly “cooked” French toast. The quotes are because it is all made in an air fryer or something like it.The lobby of the Marriott had giant jenga and giant connect 4 that our kids played with before and after eating.There was plenty of seating and the service was polite and punctual.”
“This location is great - I have been going here for many years. Even during one of the busiest days of the year (the day before Christmas) when I expected a long wait, the staff were working hard to serve people quickly and efficiently. The customer just ahead of me was very rude and disrespectful and tried to complain about being in line for over a half hour, when he had walked in at the same time as me and we were in line for less than 10 minutes. The staff and later the owner still gave him excellent customer service and tried to resolve his (false) complaint. They are always so friendly and hospitable.Today, as usual, all of my guests raved about how good the ham was. We have also purchased side dishes in the past which were delicious as well. I will be returning to this location each year for our Christmas meal!”
“my server hannah was absolutely outstanding. she recommended a few dishes upon our dietary requests and was so helpful. the entire staff was soooo helpful. i also have to shout out the host (i think her name is jess?) tho due to her understanding as to how certain people fit into certain booths. there was a party of around 13 of us and they initially tried to fit us into a small round booth but as soon as we went in there was an issue. we vocalized this to the host and she immediately found another place for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner!! Jess was amazing and accommodating for my group!”
“Friendly staff has really good food I do miss the animatronics and the tokens some of the games require You to act fast to get the bonus spin In the card will never allow it Because of the delay.”
“Had such a fun time with the hubby here! Fun atmosphere, the girls were so pretty and had some amazing tricks! I loved Lexi, she was sooo gorgeous & nice! I loved the dancer who asked if it was okay to touch my hubby, even tho of course I didn't care. It was very considerate! Hubby paid 10 for his entry fee but mine was free so that was a nice surprise. Would give a 5 star if they had some more drink selections! For our first all nude experience I was Definitely nervous but it was a great time ?”
“The gold standard for Thai food nationwide (in my experience/opinion)--really nothing compares. Don't miss their pad kee mow, tom ka gai, pad thai, or thai fried rice. These guys are just absolutely fantastic. Nice grocery next door too.”
“Loved the food and the atmosphere, refreshing and relaxing atmosphere with some of the best food. A nice change to have a wide variety of small plates all exquisite. Everything was above and beyond. Loved the idea of the dual tasting menu or create your own was nice.”
“Our company party at Seventh Son was great! Nice side room, accommodated the projector but still had a good party vibe. Great drinks, solid Old Fashioneds, even a fun mocktail menu. Five stars.”
Cheap Eats
“Wow! Amazing! I have 1 Mexican style taco, 1 large pastor burrito and an order or Horchata. Everything was delicious!November update!Flavor is consistent. Service is always amazing and I'm always satified”
“I've been coming here since I was a kid. My dad would take me here and I always had such fond memories here. The super Italian hoagie is my favorite. The place hasn't changed much in 40 years and I love it. My family and I go there often and we always have a great time. They do a lot of to go or pick up orders. I believe the owners have been there for a while. Nice fun friendly atmosphere. A trip back to the 50's for sure. They have puzzles and games to play while you wait but the food is prepared fast and fresh. I highly recommend. Pizza good hoagies are amazing and the daily specials are great. I hope they stay open forever!!Parking: Plenty of parking in front.Kid-friendliness: Games coloring books and puzzles available for kids to play with while you wait, but they are fast.Wheelchair accessibility: It's in the same one level easy to get to.”
“Had a lovely visit at Scotty's. The service is top notch, every single person we interacted with was very friendly and ready to serve. Best customer service I've seen at any place. The food was just as good. I had the Reuben with pastrami and it was so delicious, Juicy and perfectly portioned. The desserts are also amazing. I can't wait to get the chance to visit again and try more of the menu.”
“I had a great weekday lunch here for about $15, including a hearty cup of soup and a full-sized custom sandwich. I was there around noon and the line had started to get long, but it moved fast. In spite of the lunch rush, the guy working the register was warm and friendly. I ate there and had my food in about 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back for lunch the next time I'm downtown.”
“Love love love Community Grounds as my neighborhood spot! Wonderful coffee but even better customer service:) Shout out to Matt for the incredible help today during an especially spacey Monday! Y’all are the best team in the city ! ?”
“I highly recommend Los Agavez Taqueria!! These are some of the best tacos we’ve had in Columbus. We got beef, chicken and pork street tacos. All the tacos were well seasoned and fresh. Los Agavez Taqueria also has exceptional customer service!!”
“What an amazing little spot. The food is excellent, great portions for great value. We had mac and cheese and a chicago style hotdog, which were both great. The owner was so so nice, talking with and checking on everyone who came in.There are other local hotdog-specific places, but there's just something about this place that feels so much more personal and welcoming. Very proud ?️?to have this little spot in Columbus, and deeply thankful for all the support they give to the community.”
“This place right here is IT!! It is a gem, the food is phenomenal. It's super small but has a comforting environment. We have had several different menu items and everything is amazing. Everything is homeade and made to order. The hash is unbeatable and the biscuits and gravy is like a grandma would make. Now let's talk about pricing, their prices are so good. This is hands down the best breakfast spot I've ever ate at in my 33 years.”
“This place hands down has the best cocktails. It’s where I would go if I’m looking to just have one really good drink. The service gets 3 stars only because it’s a super popular place and they could do with more bartenders! But the folks who have served me and my friends have always been very nice and knowledgeable!! 100% recommend this place if you haven’t been!!”
“Beautiful atmosphere with handmade touches all over. The new owner is a carpenter/ artist by trade and you can tell there’s so much charm out into the space because of it. The coffee is rich and creamy, the espresso isn’t bitter, and the flavors that switch out almost monthly are so good! I really adored the maple cortado :3Dietary restrictions: They offer oat milk, decaf espresso, and gluten free options for pastries.Wheelchair accessibility: The entire cafe is wheelchair accessible. The bathroom is roomy although does not have side bars.”
“Been hearing about this place for awhile now! My son-in-law took me here and it was delicious! The prices are perfect! I will definitely be back!!Kid-friendliness: Waitress was extremely kid friendly with my grandson! She was very accommodating to his needs!”
“This was our first visit and definitely will not be our last!! Food and service was amazing!!! The hummus was the best we have ever had! We also tried the lamb kabobs and tiger shrimp and wow! Everything seasoned to perfection, fresh and delicious. We can't wait to return!”
“Think Bibibop or Piada for Mediterranean food. The place is small, clean, and fast. The staff is very friendly. I will be returning, as this is one of my new favorites. Plenty of choices on how you would like to build your meal.”
“First time ordering from here. WS not sure if they delivered to our address, but thought heck I'll give it a try. I think we found our new pizza delivery place. Great tasting food we just order two pepperoni pizza and spaghetti dinner meal. All the food was excellent.”
“Best matcha place in town if you like strong matcha taste and not too sweet deserts. Not a lot of selection when we went, could be because they were having construction. The matcha cream puff was so good, fluffy with lots of cream. The soft serve was tasty and creamy. There’s no dine in area though.”
“I enjoyed everything about this place. The service was BOMB! The Twins are very entertaining and attentive to the needs of the business!! Great folks, thanks very much for your Service to our country! It's always great to see positive veterans!!”
“Unpretentious. Great food. Exceptional & friendly bartenders. *Everyone* is welcome. Regular clientele. Good music. Cozy. Relaxing atmosphere. Addictive. Not at all the typical bar. Go once and you'll go back.”

“Good wasn’t for me but it smelled amazing. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.Parking: It’s on high street so parking is not the best but that was the only issue I had.”
“We always seek out non- corporate restoration. We found this gem and visited for brunch. The food is elegant but comfortable by just delicious. You have to try the breakfast mustard. We will return”
“Lalibela is a great Ethiopian restaurant with a lot of vegan options. They have multiple veggie platters, and the staff is very knowledgeable about vegan options and can easily help you find a dish that's suited for you!”
“A superb establishment. Locally owned, huge portions, good prices, very tasty, and the owner is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. Great service, cool location, and the employees take so much pride in what they do. 10/10 would recommend. SUPPORT LOCAL POC BUSINESSES!”

“Visiting from Houston... I saw this close to my hotel and had to try it out. Food was authentic and fairly priced. Staff/managers were super nice, and restaurant was a cool vibe.”
“I was seated promptly, My guest and I talked for a while before ordering. The waitress was still attentive and patient. We finally ordered a glass of wine and the meat ball appetizer. The wine and the meatballs were delicious. I will go there again and try an main course.”
“Amazing experience! This is my first time trying Indian food and this place was great. The server was super nice. Restaurant was clean. And food was out within 5 minutes! And the food was delicious!”

Roosters
“Met a few friends there on a Friday afternoon about 4ish. The dining area was pretty quiet when we got there so we were able to get seated immediately. Our waitress was quick in taking our orders (the wings, as always, were delicious!) and she checked back in with us several times. By the time we left, a little after 6, the place was packed and people were waiting to get seated. So glad we got there when we did! I love this place!”
“Life changing experience and I’m not exaggerating. The lamb broth they bring you as an amuse bouche is spectacular, but so is everything else. My partner and I shared three dishes and a dessert. I won’t even tell you which ones because I’m so confident *anything* you try will blow your mind. Unbelievable hospitality from the owner and his nephew. Can’t wait to go back.”
“Excellent service,wonderful foodLike being in old BerlinWill go everything I am closeParking: Not sure of ,for lunch found street parking rather quickly, more beside restaurantKid-friendliness: They are I'm notWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Went to the North Market location. Delicious dumplings and an wonderful sauce. They also have a spicy sauce but it's pretty spicy! I got the chicken and they were pretty great. Chicken can be a little dry so the sauce was a nice addition. The pork was wonderfully moist. I wish I had tried the vegetable options. Next time. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

4th & State
“The food was really tasty. I had the sausage and rosemary omelette, orange mango mimosa, and a delicious cookies and cream milkshake. The service was a bit slow and the interior was not interesting. It was a nice place for brunch with the girls.Vegetarian options: The menu is all vegan, and there are so many options.Dietary restrictions: Aside from the all vegan menu there were several items marked gluten free.”

ChiliSpot
“Authentic Chinese food here. Hundreds of dishes to choose from but I only came for the salt and pepper popcorn chicken. Seemed like every table had ordered some version of the popcorn chicken. Really enjoyed it. Would like to see a popcorn chicken option with a general Tso’s dipping sauce on the side. Also had a spicy chicken dish as well as the Szechuan wontons. A little spicy for us, but the wontons were on point.”
“Great little pizza spot! They have a great tasting pie. I love the old world style pepperoni and it was perfect. I will say the interior is a little dated but hey that’s no biggie. Give them a shot!”
“Money well spent. Best tasting, best value meal in the city IMO. The service was unbelievably fast! Couple fun facts, don’t expect to walk in, have your reservation made. We saw multiple people get turned away (even single diners). It took me a month to get a reservation at the time I wanted (reservations online only). It’s important to level set yourself, you’ll need to plan to eat here. It’s also important to share you can order take out starting at 4:30 and will go as long as they can keep up. ( expect to go orders to fill up quickly and not be available later in the day). The only way you will be able walk in will be during patio season- may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Pasqualone's
“The most intimate dining experience I've had in Columbus. Every single dish was incredible down to the very simple pre dinner salad. The menu includes much more than what is listed on the website. Reservation only is for a reason. We were greeted by the head chef when we walked in and the service was outstanding. There are about 10 tables in the dining room and we honestly forgot where we were for 2 hours. There is no Italian food quite like this in Columbus.”
“We were in town for business and in and out of lots of bars and restaurants while we were there. Every single one of them told us to try Wario's as we probed for the best lunch spot. Our last stop before heading back to Cincy was Wario's and OMG it lived up to every once of the hype. This place is some good we are passing through next week and we will be back.”
“We’ve been twice and had a blast! We’ve tried the fries, wings, and gluten free pizza and all were so good! I’ve tried at least 3 cocktails and enjoyed two so far (apparently I don’t like Campari lol). Great atmosphere and great music!”

“my partner and i split the stuffed peppers, pita w 3 dips, and the oyster steak w potatoes.they can def cook a veg here, but for the price point, the flavor wasn't it for me compared to other veg spots in major cities priced similarly :( the pita was a bit too oily, and the oyster steak was quiiiiite saltydrinks were good but not greatstill love a date night vibe veg spot tho, and am hoping the oyster steak was a fluke”
“I was there this particular evening with a large family party. I'll admit bonefish isn't on my top list, but tonight the food was great. The 3 servers we had were super nice. I appreciate great they were. I hate that I can't remember their names were supposed to be a party of 19. Thank ”
“We LOVE this place - we come almost every Thursday for dinner with our friends. Courtney is our #1 waitress - her great service plus the excellent Pizza (don’t sleep on the Square Cacio Pepe) makes this place a must stop. If I have 1 critique, they need some more apps… garlic knots please!!”
“If you want REAL food, REAL Indian food please go to Layla’s. They have never ceased to amaze me! The food is fresh and authentic. The people are the real treat tho! I love love love this place. Five stars!!!”
“Highly recommend Modern Southern Table!! Ms. Daisy, the owner, is a wonderful person to encounter and her food is just as delicious!! I have had the Gumbo each time I have visited because it is so good, I don't need to try anything else in the Hall.”
“We love going here for lunch and a romantic dinner! Always get the honey glazed chicken. They have the best green beans when in season and mashed potatoes! Alex is the best server EVER! WE LOVE ”
“We were here before their usual opening time on Sunday for a Pechka Bakery pop-up which was really good. Space was really cool. They definitely have plenty of barrels for aging sour beers.”
“We ordered take out from here - we have been wanting to try them for quite a while! The stirred noodles were our favorite and the beef was delicious (I usually prefer chicken). Even the take out containers were super durable (no spills!) We can't wait to try in person!”
“The tour was amazing! Staff were very friendly & the drinks were good as well :). located at 1025 W. 3rd Avenue in Grandview on the corner of Parkway North-parking!”

“Absolutely exquisite cuisine. Carefully prepared and intentional. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and the management clearly cares about their customers.Their happy hour is extraordinarily affordable and a really obvious choice.”
“Delicious dinners with top notch service. Fresh west coast oysters and lobster bisque to start. Gorgeous tasty cocktails made a great girl's night out. Entrees of lobster pasta and Ahi tuna were nicely spiced and cooked correctly. Creme Brulee with caramelized sugar to share made our dining sweet! We enjoyed the outer heated porch area with lovely views of Easton shopping and a lucky timed sunset. Perfect!”
“Anna's is our favorite restaurant in the city. The food is always delicious. The setting is the perfect size for patrons to feel cozy. And Anna is the perfect host. Five stars all around!”
“Came in on a busy night and Natalie was bartending. Absolutely amazing service. she never missed a beat and kept a smile on her face. amazing drinks as well! i had a great time and would definitely sit at the bar again with natalie she was ”
“From start to finish, just an excellent experience. Schedule on open table, worked with restaurant to add more people and space. They accommodated us with space, excellent service, incredible menu, delicious drinks, excellent desserts, and a great soundtrack. Couldn't have asked for anything more, no exaggeration- it was well beyond our expectations (and we have been know to be a very particular extended family)!”

“Nice cocktail bar, very chill in the early evenings. The drinks are good, and the second floor windows overlook high street. The music is quiet enough for casual conversation. Great place to catch a drink.”
“Excellent service and food. Our server, Adam, was absolutely the best! It was our first time here, and we will definitely be back. We had crab cakes, meatloaf and chicken romano, and the rolls were hot and light, so good. We shared the apple pie with ice cream for dessert. Delicious! We plan to come back for a shake and sandwich soon.”
“This place has great falafel and shwarma in pita and laffa with all the appropriate accouterments. But it does not have, or even pretend to have, "atmosphere." It is one stall in a place with about 20 different stalls selling different types of foods. Most customers probably take the food out, but there are tables one floor up for those who want to eat in.Dietary restrictions: KosherKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome in unlimited numbers.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator to the second floor, where the tables and chairs are for those who want to eat in.”

Basi Italia
“We did a date night here. Nice little place but a few things to note. Parking is a nightmare so splurge on the valet. But remember parking is a nightmare because of the city not the restaurant. The food was good it caught me off guard I wasn’t expecting it. Much better than most places in the area. The service was up there as well. Not overly attentive staff but they were just right. The atmosphere was ok. I used the bathroom and I think I got lost in the back of the house.Bottom line if you are in the area go. Remember do the valet and enjoy.”
“The food was exquisite and a nice family atmosphere and the food absolutely delectable. Chef Rami Sabra Head Chef at Olive & Lime Cafe is at the top of his game. Keep cooking as my tummy is singing with happiness. Your hummus incredible, your pea soup music to my tongue. Your tabouli salad and bread....my mouth is watering just thinking about coming back again.”
“Always a great experience lunch or dinner. Danielle has been our waitress for a long time and outstanding. Others have been there years as well and outstanding. They stay for a reason.”

“I am impressed with the clean and updated feel as well as friendly staff! The music is pop-ish with a calm but energetic feel, quiet enough to talk over.I got spicy tofu and pork spring rolls with customary salad and garlic rice. I am not a "Big" eater and I had to box up almost half because I was SO satisfied and full!Thanks to Jessa Mae and her fellow Bar Friends! My Makers and coffee was perfect as well as my house Old Fashion ☺️I am SO excited to bring friends here when in this side of town again ?”
“Attention Vegans and non-Vegans! Try this place! You will not be disappointed. Just because you are not vegan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Fresh, fast and great flavors. I was blown away by this spot. Just wish it was closer to my house!Vegetarian options: All Vegan! But non vegans will enjoy?”
“Wow. This place does not disappoint. Everyone and everything was on point. Good was delicious, staff wonderful atmosphere frue dky and inviting. Got to try this if your close”

The Pearl
“Delicious food, great vibe. The only drawback was how slow the bartender was to pour drinks, we only got wine and it wasn’t priority so took at least 25 minutes and we sat at the hightop bar seats.Order the tots!”
“This was the first time we have been there. It was absolutely amazing food. Fresh and prepared right in front of you. The pitas were amazing. All the toppings were delicious. Would definitely go back.”
“Best Indian restaurant near me as we were looking for home like food and all the craving was satisfied with the clove restaurant. Do visit the place you will have good experience with the food and taste seems like a best one ??.”
“We had Layla about a month ago and she was amazing! Very welcoming for our first time, so much that we booked a reservation again for tonight!! Hoping we get here again! So excited and recommend 100%”

“Two brothers run this restaurant. We went there on Friday for lunch. Quiet and cute little place. Enjoyed the traditional platter. Enough food for two adults and one high schooler! Enjoyed our cultural exchanges with the owner!?”
“I love coming here for lunch. The food is always delicious and fresh and the coffee is excellent. It’s a cozy space with really kind workers and a relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend it!”
“Mon 2/12/2024. Ordered the 8oz filet medium, house salad with ranch, and loaded baked potato. The potato came out with minimal topings actually on it but there was a side of additional toppings so you can add more. Everything tasted good.”
“I had a wonderful time chatting with Amber the manager. I was greeted and sat at the bar and was guided to all the best selections on the menu. I was in absolute heaven. It wasn't very busy for a Sunday and I have zero clue why. Hands down the best noodles in town and don't even get me started on the dessert. Thank you Amber and staff: I'll be back!”
“The food presentation made you not want to eat the food! It was so beautiful then you begin to eat and all the flavors come alive! The drinks are fun and served and beautifully designed glasses.”
“came in with a big party for the nightclub and it was super busy but the service was STILL top notch and didnt wait for a thing! Everyone was on it. The show is absolutely incredible and i cant believe the talent thats hidden here!!! Everyone is so nice and sexy. Alexis was phenomenal. She made us feel like family. Will definitely back.”
“We eat here about three times a month! The freshest and tastiest Mexican cuisine in Columbus, Ohio! We have tried so many items on the menu, and every dish has been excellent! The service is good as well. It is very easy to make a reservation, which is recommended on the weekends.”

Sycamore
“I don't know why it's been so long since we have dined at Sycamore. The meal was great. In the 4.5 star range. We all had chicken thighs with couscous. Yum. We started with their outstanding focaccia then roasted carrots. A sycamore salad before the mains. Try the sycamore Negroni! I enjoy the size and atmosphere of the restaurant. We need to make an effort to put it into regular rotation.”
“Great stripe.! Very rough neighborhood. It's watch your back and your front kinda area.Parking: There's parking right there but it's usually full.”
“I went there to try goat. The friendly guy behind the counter asked me what I wanted, I told him a bowl with Somalian rice, goat, cabbage, spinach, tomato, and onion. He gave it to me and I loved it. Tasted Great!”
“When we came here the atmosphere and decor was amazing. We sat down and ordered and the service was amazing as well . The wait for the food was not long at all. When we started eating we were amazed of how good the food tasted definitely recommended this place its very good.”
“I tried the goat over rice, it was delicious. I love the Somali rice; basmati rice cooked in a rich stock, spiced up, and with a bunch of vegetables in it too. I also had a beef Sambusa. Portions were generous and goat was cooked to perfection. The mango juice was excellent too. Sambusa was great. I will definitely be back, and may also try the American dishes too. Menu includes pictures to help if you're not familiar with the cuisine. I was curious about restaurant's name and I think it means 'to come together'?”
“A very nice eclectic spot in Clintonville. I don’t do many grass fed restaurants, but this one is very good, but their specialties are pizzas. I will go back. Very busy Friday night because of happy hour. Might be a good spot if you don’t want during buckeye game crowds since they only have one tv. Great service, Michelle the manager was attentive and provided great suggestions during my first visit. Rosie Burger, Fried Yardbird or Harvest Burger. We also got a take out order of their pasta!”
“Nicola Restaurant & Bar is one of our very favorite restaurants. The owner and staff are very friendly and professional. The menu always has many dishes I'd be interested in ordering. There were four in our party and everyone loved everything.”
“Drove up from Dayton to check this spot out, as my husband and I love trying new foods. This did not disappoint! Those KFC wings were the best wings I've ever had. I would buy the sauce!! ? My husband thought the cheese ramen was okay- would try a different one next time, but all my food was delicious.”

Rooh
“This is a gem of a Michelin-quality restaurant that Columbus is truly lucky to have. It’s called “progressive Indian” for a reason - modern takes on Indian flavors prepared with elegance and sophistication. If you are looking for a giant portion of cheap, standard Indian fare, you’re thinking the wrong way. This is an elegant fine dining experience with taste and presentation to match. The food was exceptional. My only request would be to add a few more vegan dishes to the menu. We shared the cauliflower appetizer, the stuffed eggplant, basmati, and roti. This was enough for the two of us, although, if we were coming with some additional friends, we would really want to try multiple dishes. That is OK, and certainly won’t stop me from coming back (often!) to this innovative and special spot! Service is as attentive and friendly. The interior design is absolutely spectacular and first class, just beautiful. Columbus, do you know how lucky we are lucky to have Indian fine dining!?”
“Been meaning to try this place for years now, finally made it in. This place rules. I can’t wait to go back. Had the spicy beef noodle soup and spring rolls. Spring rolls were a little undercooked but I can forgive it. The soup was great, and an absolute ton of food. The guy who took my order was great. No notes. Keep it up.”
93
House Taco
“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced food. You have to line up to place an order if you are sitting at a table because they don’t have enough servers at the moment, but if you sit at the bar like we did, you can order from there. The servers were friendly. Will definitely visit again.”

“Shay has been our server on both visits. Fabulous service from her. The smoked wings and lobster mac are amazingly delicious. Looking forward to my lunch there on Friday.”
“A BBQ Gem on S. HIGH Street just north of Whittier Ave. A compact menu wthe best beef brisket and shredded chicken. Comfortable seating inside and out. Put Smoked on High on your destination list with easy access to downtown and German village. Very clean and within walking distance of other neighborhood attractions.”
“Great little microbrewery with a clever name and tasty brews! They have seltzers and several types of beer on a rotating menu. Great outdoor seating area with an enclosed all-season room. Food available for purchase. I recommend the soft pretzel with beer cheese and mustard dip!”
“I LOVE this place. It also has meaning to us as we celebrated our engagement with their best cake (in my opinion) Fudgey Wudgey! We decided to have that cake for our elopement a year later. There was a little miscommunication with the cake and when I expressed that to Lisa, she went above and beyond to correct it. This restaurant values their customers and I can’t recommend it enough. 10/10 all around.”
“We had an amazing evening at Z Cucina. Our server, Taylor, was very patient with us and walked us through the menu and wines. He even brought out samples to help us decide on the drinksThe owner, Rick, stopped by on a few occasions to see how we were doing. Everyone who worked there was professional and personable.We had the Caesar salad, Lasagna, and Short Rib. We were very pleased with the quality and presentation of the meals.”

Panini Opa
“Greek food is some of my favorite, which makes me critical of how it’s made. My deep belly cravings led me on a search here to Panini Opa, which is a rather simple name for a restaurant, but a name I haven’t forgotten: I’ve already been here twice and I’m thoroughly impressed twice over. Their menu is very large and quite varied. Try their Souvlaki Gyro and thank me later. Try their variations of wings and thank me again. You won’t run out of choices so quickly. The parking lot is a little small and tight to park in, but I never let that stop me from happy plate time.”

“I'm not into fast food too much anymore however there's nothing like a good burger.With that being said not all burger places are the same anymore, however, when I want to consistent sandwich this is the Wendy's that I choose to go to unfortunately I just moved to the east side but every time I find myself back on the north side, I'll stop there and get a burger and it's always the same hot, & service is always great, so good job to whomever owns that establishment.”
“I had a great weekday lunch here for about $15, including a hearty cup of soup and a full-sized custom sandwich. I was there around noon and the line had started to get long, but it moved fast. In spite of the lunch rush, the guy working the register was warm and friendly. I ate there and had my food in about 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back for lunch the next time I'm downtown.”

“When we came here the atmosphere and decor was amazing. We sat down and ordered and the service was amazing as well . The wait for the food was not long at all. When we started eating we were amazed of how good the food tasted definitely recommended this place its very good.”
“Two ladies on a Thursday lunch rush, and they pumped these orders out like no one’s business. I could tell they were busy because they didn’t stop moving for a second. While other customers were clearly frustrated and impatient, I was still greeted with a huge smile and wonderful attitude. I waited 11 minutes in the middle of a rush for some hot and fresh wings, I’ll be back for sure :)They even remembered to give extra ranch ❤️”
“Title: A Taste of Compassion: A Halal Food Truck that Goes Beyond the PalateIn the heart of our bustling city, where the aroma of diverse cuisines mingles with the urban symphony, there exists a hidden gem that not only satisfies our taste buds but also warms our hearts – a halal food truck like no other. My encounter with this culinary haven transcended the realm of gastronomy; it became a story of compassion, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of community.The food truck, adorned with vibrant colors and infused with the irresistible scent of spices, caught my attention one fateful evening. What began as a quest for a delicious halal meal turned into a life-changing experience. Little did I know that this modest food truck and its owner would become the unsung heroes of my family's life.The first bite was an explosion of flavors, a perfect symphony of spices that danced on my palate. Each dish was crafted with precision, a testament to the culinary expertise of the owner, whose passion for halal cuisine shone through every bite. But it was not just the food that left an indelible mark on my memory; it was the owner's kindness and genuine concern for his patrons that set this food truck apart.One evening, tragedy struck my family as our home became engulfed in flames. Amidst the chaos and despair, it was the owner of this halal food truck who emerged as our unexpected savior. Hearing about our plight, he not only extended a helping hand but went above and beyond the call of duty. His quick thinking and resourcefulness ensured the safety of my family, as he played a pivotal role in guiding us to safety and alerting the authorities.In the aftermath of the fire, the halal food truck became a symbol of hope and resilience for us. The owner continued to support us, providing meals, and even organizing a fundraising campaign within the community to help us rebuild our lives. His actions spoke volumes about the power of compassion and the sense of kinship that can be found in the unlikeliest of places.The food served by this halal food truck is undoubtedly exceptional, but it is the warmth of the owner's heart and the sense of community fostered around the mobile kitchen that make it truly extraordinary. It's not just a place to savor delicious halal dishes; it's a sanctuary of compassion and support, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can shine brightly.In every bite, I taste the flavors of gratitude and resilience, making each visit to this halal food truck a heartfelt journey. It's more than just a place to satisfy culinary cravings; it's a haven where the bonds of community are forged, and the taste of compassion lingers long after the last bite.”
“Wonderfully prepared food. Owner is incredibly kind and friendly. The food is always delicious. Every bite is perfect and fresh. Love eating here for breakfast!!”
“I tried the vegetable nowl with ramen noodles and miso soup. I agreed to the soft boiled egg, but you don't have to accept it when offered. It didn't take too long for them to cook my ramen and the soup was very hot. The egg seemed a bit chilly when I first took a bit so I suspect it is cooked in advance and added later, but no issue as the hot soup warmed it. It was decent ramen not great but not terrible. I felt it was a reasonable price for a bowl of ramen as it was a good sized portion. I chose not to get a drink, but probably should've since the soup was hot. Personally I felt the miso was a bit fishy tasting, but perhaps that's just me. They were offering free samples as they also sell things like teriyaki chicken, fried rice, and more. There is plenty of seating in the food court, it's clean, amd well lit with sky lights.”
“Amazing cookies! The service is quick and easy. The store has an amazing cookie smell in it and it is very clean! The cookies are sweet and unique than most other cookies out there.”
“Lovely cakes, lovely people! They have the cutest little shop tucked into the Westin. Perfect for stopping by for a little sweet treat or a larger order for special occasions. Happy to have them Downtown!”
“My husband and I have been visiting this place for the past few months and have had nothing short of an amazing experience. Extremely friendly staff, and food is always extremely good and FRESH. We just ordered through Doordash, and I am amazingly surprised by how FRESH and HOT the food still is! When I opened the box, steam came out. That shows that this food is cooked to-order and fresh. My husband would eat from this place every day if he could. Absolutely recommend!! Never had a disappointing experience.”
“First time was great. Second time was greater. I got one kid who is a cheese pizza fanatic and gives this place 10/10 for cheese pizza. The pepperoni pizza meets the mark of good hot & good cold. We’ll be ”
“Visiting from Houston... I saw this close to my hotel and had to try it out. Food was authentic and fairly priced. Staff/managers were super nice, and restaurant was a cool vibe.”

“Went here for my sons birthday dinner and it's easily top 5 Hibachi on my list. A little pricier than most Hibachi places that I've been but my steak was absolutely . Pleasantly surprised to discover a completely different taste experience.Not a fan of the ginger salad dressing and I don't think they have any private dining areas, just FYI.”
“A much better deal if you can get the gift card deal from Costco, but a really good experience overall - they seem to have abandoned the "charging extra per trip of premium meat", at least for the weekend lunch we were there, and it was reminiscent of our last pre-COVID trip. The spicy and garlic-rubbed meats were new and excellent.”
“The young lady working the counter was very nice and friendly. We had the 4 scoop sampler which is actually a very good deal. There are so many flavors to choose from.”
“Jamie was absolutely AMAZING!!!! He was kind, knowledgeable, attentive, helpful, professional, and took our experience to the next level. I absolutely recommend going to Guild House and if you can, ask for Jamie. You will have a top notch experience. Also, hats off to the Chef and management, everything was delicious!”
“Met in Columbus for a 21st and 80th bday celebration. We surely picked the perfect place to go! The fresh, hot and homemade food was wonderful! So many choices, so flavorful and presented so beautifully. Make sure you get the Vodka sauce, best ever! The freshly made mozzarella cheese was delightful ?Our server Amanda was spectacular! She was so kind, knowledgeable and efficient. We so appreciate her concern for my daughter's food allergies. I look forward to visiting again.”
“Another fabulous dinner at Hyde Park! The staff is very friendly and work as a team to ensure great customer service throughout our dinner. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Columbus.”

“The ham baguette is great: not sure where they get the cultured butter they use on it, but it is amazing. Ham and swiss croissant and apple crostada were both excellent as well. Everything I've had with fruit and their white cream cheese like frosting is also delicious.Coffee drinks are very well made as well.Seating can be somewhat limited during peak times, but they do have a nice counter along the window into the bakery production space which I've never seen completely full. There's also a small patio out back if the weather is nice.Vegetarian options: The majority of their offerings are vegetarian.Parking: Decent free parking lot attached to the building and a city metered lot attached as well.Kid-friendliness: Fairly kid friendly although the limited seating could be an issue.”

“I went with a large group yesterday and it was quite enjoyable. We paid for one of the many different five course meal options, and I was impressed with not only the speed of the food arriving but also workers' positive attitudes. Not only that but the food was quite delicious as well, especially the chocolate cake. It was a good experience and I would go again.”

“10/5 Stars - Whoever worked closing 02/02, you are a saint. I apologize that the order somehow came in after close, but you went above and beyond and earned a customer!Vegetarian options: Most, if not all, of the menu is fruit/plant based.”
“This is a lovely place! The atmosphere is adorable and the owners are so very nice! Be aware that everything is very sweet, lots of Nutella. If you love that, this is your place! Highly recommended for the ultimate experience!”
“The owner pays close attention to customer service and is always interactive with his guests. The food and portions are truly amazing. Am very thankful we have a Halal cart here in the Columbus area.”
“Plate's Meats over Rice is the real deal! The Chicken over Rice (my favorite) is so good! The chicken is well cooked and tastes great!I can't forget the rice and the sauce...fabulous!! I appreciate the amazing customer service as well. I am officially a loyal customer and am happy to support this restaurant.”
“I went here to get some food to go. I LOVE the atmosphere here. I would love to come in & actually dine in here. The people here were very friendly. I got my husband the mole poblano. He said that it was good. I got a Chile rellano & pork tamale from the a la Carter menu. The pork tamale was SO good! I loved the sauce that came with it.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Urban Gourmet! The service is next level & the food is amazing! Accommodating the burger with a gluten free bun, making it truly one of the best truffle burgers. The sweet potato fries are the perfect addition & if you get a chance to try the wings - Just as amazing! We love urban gourmet and we are so happy they are at the East market!”
“Love this brewery! I enjoyed my time even with my 4 year old and 1 year old in tow! They have lots of games for kids and there is plenty of room for kids (and dogs) to explore. There’s snacks at the bar and frequently food trucks offering a variety of dishes. Check their website or social media for their food truck and events schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Wings very crispy, even after delivery. Fries are average, but an order would be enough for 2 to 3 people for $8. Prices are high...$18 for 8 wings, side of sauce. But worth it if you want some unique wings”
“I really like this place! I ordered an iced latte with oat milk and an iced matcha to see how they do both coffee and what their name says, matcha. I wasn't expecting my matcha to be sweet, but it was. Despite me not liking sweet things, it was just the right amount and not too sweet; it was really good! I would recommend that maybe the shop does a regular, unsweetened version, though. The only reason why I'm rating it 5 and not 4 stars was because of the iced latte. Lately many other cafes in Columbus have been producing coffee that has been acidic, but this one was probably one of the best I've had in town. I highly recommend for the coffee as well the matcha (if you like them to be sweetened).”
“Today was my first day at this restaurant and I must say I was very pleased. The place was clean and the service was perfect. I tried the dumpling for my appetizer and they were fried crisp and good. I purchased one of their boil bags with all the fixings and wasn't disappointed. I normally visit Kai's across town but will start going here. Oh by the way if you want a good non-alcoholic drink try the sparkling grape drink. omg good”
“The butter chicken curry is our favorite! Served with garlic naan which we could eat every day! But we have tried a lot of the menu without any disappointment! Everything is flavorful and delicious. 10/10 every time we order!”
“Great priced cocktails for their variety and fresh ingredients!I highly recommend dumplings. I’m working my way through the menu and everything I’ve tried has been superb!”
“I just heard of this place and was so excited that things are vegan and Gluten free and kosher! The mini peppermint donuts were adorable and the chocolate no bake cookie was to die for! They tasted perfectly fresh! The lady at the counter was so very sweet and the prices were just right! I can't go often but I will %100 be going again and will be recommending to everyone!”
“Went for lunch today with some friends. Food was delicious! Everyone really liked their meals. The place is so cool, definitely going back. Not a big golfer, but saw some kids playing really fun games. Definitely recommend the Clubhouse burger and the fish and chips.”
“The chorizo tacos were amazing. I’m not a cilantro person but I didn’t taste the cilantro at all. It was just the right amount of spicy. The churros are so good and the woman who took care of me today was one of the sweetest women I’ve met. I hope this truck becomes more popular.”
“Great food.Couple days ago, in my door dash review, I included that I didn't get a spy sauce packet, then seconds later I noticed it was there, just hidden. I felt bad for leaving that in my review and tried to edit (even called) but unable to until I ordered again and leave another review. Feel bad for that so wanted to update my (already 5 star) review on Google. This place is awesome.”
