“We went to the campus location after the game. The burgers were great…the service was even better!“

“I know Flipside in Hudson so we figured to we would see if this location was just as good. The staff was wonderful and the menu was just as good. These burgers are the best. So many beers available & we stayed too long trying many of them. Definitely worth checking out.“

“We haven't been for a while but we live this place. Their fried mushrooms, burgers, crispy chicken sandwich and holiday cookie shake are really nice. My son's grilled cheese was a bit overcooked and we trued chocolate mint whip drink but didn't care for it much. Our server's name was Patrick and he was very friendly abd a crafted salesman. We got $5.00 vouchers with a gift card purchase for our next trip. The atmosphere parking lot was well plowed and someone had built tiny little snowmen on the sign which was very cute.“

“Just had Seitan's Realm for the first time after wanting to try for years. Absolutely incredible. I had the potato salad, mozahella sticks and the Rick Reuben. I will definitely be back. Edit: Also wanted to say I'm not vegan and I loved the taste of everything.“

“Great service and nice employees!“

“Horrible bison burger, cooked to death, could hardly choke it down, bacon jam not good. Bison is always dry but when you have hard brown fried parts on the outside it is super dry. They say they cook it medium, ummm no.“

“Preston's takes the time to check that the food that goes out is checked for quality. The fries are neatly served vertically in paper bags, are never greasy and have enough salt to please. We took my father-in-law there for a birthday lunch, and he commented that it reminded him of how burgers used to be in the 1950s. Preston's is not the cheapest, but it is definitely worth the price.“

“this place is 10/10 for everything! My go to spot for wings and im real picky about my wings 😍 Their salads are also amazing. Food always comes out in a timely manner and they are polite. Cant wait to try the new fish sandwich they’re adding to the menu !“

“First Time It didn't disappoint we definitely will be back . I found out about the place on Instagram the pictures were on point and the Drinks as well as the food was outstanding .“

“Rosa is very good server [Original] Rosa is very good server“

“I’ve always heard how good this place is and decided to check it out. It did not disappoint! Everything was so hot and delicious and Maria was so helpful when we ordered. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and hands-down amazing food.“

“Very good burger and I loved the shoe string fries. Everything was very fresh and delicious.“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“

“love this spot looks corporate but feels like home. Good people, great food and the have private rooms..“

“stopped in today on my way home from work The owner came out and took my order he is a very nice man with a smile that will briten ur day 🙂 the food was delicious 1st time eating there but I will most definitely will be going back I got the lamb and chicken platter and was very satisfied I will be going back on Friday before I go to work to get my dinner 😋❤️“

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

“​We made a road trip pit stop at this Culver's in Columbus and were very impressed with the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We ordered the double deluxe burger and the North Atlantic Cod Sandwich. The burger was excellent—juicy and perfectly cooked. The fish sandwich was also very tasty, though I found the bun a little on the thick side. Overall, both dishes were delicious and satisfying. Given the great experience, we'd absolutely stop here again on our travels and try out some of the other menu items. Highly recommend.“

“This crew knocks it out of the park every time.“

“so the waiter was really sweet & very attentive I believe his name was Malik!! my friend & I saw him tend to several tables with a smile on his face. the food was so good. I had the vegetarian omelette. the drinks are really good too! if you want to try something new, I would recommend!! 🫶“

“Best place ever, and we wish they were open after frisbee!“

“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! 😋🙂😇“

“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 food!!! And wonderful people run it! Can’t wait for them to come back 😋“

“My brother, sister and I were in town for a concert and had time to spare for lunch and were just walking around and came across the beautiful artwork on the building of the Alley Burger. Took a chance and walked in, immediately greeted by the staff with the warmest hospitality. We each ordered a burger and when I tell you we crushed these burgers like we were experiencing a burger for the first time… the taste was unlike anything we’d ever eaten. My brother who eats burgers all the time said “Well DAMN!”when he took his first bite. Just incredible. We never had to ask for anything, our waitress was on top of it the whole time we were there. When we were leaving everyone was so nice saying goodbye and thank you, welcoming us back. We stepped outside and met the owner who was so excited that we were from Pittsburgh. It was such a great time and yes, at this point, we will travel three hours for that burger again. Soon! Thank you!“

“Alicia was our server and she was fantastic. Very nice, very kind, and I was very impressed that she didn’t write down our order but got it perfectly! I could never do that so color me happy! All the Easter decorations were very charming too. Thank you everyone!“

“Nightly specials and sports on TV. It’s great.“

“I highly recommend Ohio Brewing Company in Columbus, Ohio for not only their fantastic craft beers but also their delicious food menu. The brewery offers a wide range of tasty dishes that pair perfectly with their beers, making it a great spot for a full dining experience. From appetizers to entrees, the food at Ohio Brewing Company is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Whether you're in the mood for a juicy burger, crispy wings, or a hearty sandwich, they have something for everyone. The menu also features vegetarian and gluten-free options, catering to a variety of dietary preferences. The cozy atmosphere of the taproom, combined with the mouthwatering food options, makes Ohio Brewing Company a must-visit destination for food and beer lovers alike. I can't recommend it enough for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience in Columbus.“

“My most recent visit to this location was Sunday 3/15/26 at 7:00pm.

This is a good store. From the manager/supervisor on down, the the staff (which appears to exhibit good retention) is reliably friendly, professional, welcoming, super-fast. The dining area and bathrooms are consistently clean.

Great job, team. Your efforts are noticed and valued.“

“I just came home with Tony's Coney's chili tonight. It's served in the winter. It is the best chili I've ever had. I have purchased so many items from there menu and never came across anything I didn't like.“

“1st Time Here ..
Got Chicken N Tots
And It Was Good …I Was Afraid The Chicken Would Have Tasted Plain Like With No Seasoning But They Did They Thang With Them Wings ..I Had The Hot Carolina Gold Sauce ..
I’ll Be Ordering Again .“

“Went to the Sunday Brunch and it was awesome. Rene the Bartender was very nice and efficient. The manger checked on us twice. Had the Coldest beer in town after. I recommend it.“

“This is without a doubt - The Gem of Columbus.

Everything is perfect all the time here.

If I could buy this place and put it in a trust, only to ensure it would be preserved and remain unchanged throughout the generations, I would without hesitation.“

“Amazing service EVERY time!!“

“Out with the family for dinner and we basically had to settle for this place because there was no wait time. The inside is basically a dive frat bar with music blaring. We ate outside and while the atmosphere was gross, especially for kids, the food and service were pretty top tier. I wouldn't come back, but the overall experience wasn't bad.“

“Just moved here from Pittsburgh. I think I found a new hangout spot. Only if it were ac Steelers bar!!!“

“The girl at drive thru was friendly enough. For a take out at this time we were not given salt, napkins and ordered asked a diet and got a regular.“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“So first of all I try lots of places around Columbus and this is hands down one of my favorites now. Not only is their food fantastic, but their customer service is honestly above and beyond. Good people and good food, you can’t beat it.“

“Just stopped in their, had good service and the employees was nice to me:)“

“Today's meal was very good. Hot, fresh, tasty, served quickly. I had the Big Steak omlet and it was a large meal (I took half home and was still full) and well prepared. This was my second visit in the last 6 months and the prior visit the food was lukewarm like it had sat for a little bit before being picked up by the server. I'll have to visit again, and if the next meal is as good as the last, I'll update to 5 stars.“

“I recently visited Burger Theory and their burgers are delicious. Small menu. I had the Classic Double Cheeseburger medium well, no tomatoes, and fries. Nice and modern burger restaurant located inside the Holiday Inn. Comfortable indoor seating with booths and or open tables. Decent size square -like bar located in the middle of the restaurant. Parking lot located walking distance from the restaurant. Maybe free parking for customers. Recommend talking to your server. Friendly staff. Decent prices.“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“food was very good...service is awful....and the pit for 2-3 did not have nearly the amount shown in the photos.“
