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

“Tried swensons for the first time and it was amazing! I would definitely recommend coming to try it out. Cyrill was my server and gave great reccomendations, he had amazing service all around. I hope to come back soon and enjoy food here again!“

“Great service, owners are super friendly and welcoming. Smash burgers were amazing as well. Don’t forget to try the Yacht Shot!“

“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!“

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

“Flip Side Burgers is located in a great plaza with a fantastic atmosphere. The area is full of restaurants, coffee shops, and places to grab dessert, making it a perfect destination to spend some time before or after your meal.

The burgers were excellent. We tried the Smash Burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also decided to try one of their more unique creations with peanut butter and a sweet-and-spicy jelly, and it completely exceeded our expectations. It may sound unusual, but the combination was absolutely delicious and worked surprisingly well.

The customer service was friendly and attentive, making the overall experience even better.

The only downside was that it was extremely hot inside the restaurant, which made it a little uncomfortable while dining. Other than that, everything was great.

If you’re looking for creative, high-quality burgers in Columbus, Flip Side Burgers is definitely worth a visit. We’d happily come back to try more of their menu.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“We went for a foodie trip and googled the best wings!! Urban Gourmet popped up so we tried it out and boy they did not disappoint!! These were some of the best wings we have had!! We got the garlic parmesean wings, Buffalo ranch dry rub and hot buffalo!! You can tell they use nothing but fresh ingredients and make their sauces and dressings by scratch!! Some of the best ranch dressing I tasted!! Definitely 10/10 we will be back!!“

“Absolutely loved my food from here! We ordered food from here while at Combustion Brewery. We ordered 2 burgers, 8 chicken tenders and the Carolina dipped chicken sandwich. We walked over to order as we had a lot of customizations. The staff were incredibly kind and patient. They quoted us 15 mins for the food and delivered to my seat in the brewery! This place knows how to cook chicken! Both the tenders and the sandwich were extremely flavorful, hot (like right out of the fryer), and juicy! The burgers are smash patties (highly recommend getting a double) but man are they good! Near the top for my personal burger list. The fries were super crispy and flavorful but a tad too salty (and I like salty fries). Overall that's not enough for me to ding my rating as I went there for the burgers. I didn't rate the atmosphere because we didn't eat in restaurant.“

“I visited Culver's while exploring a new area, and it turned out to be a good choice. The restaurant felt bright, clean, and welcoming from the moment I entered. The menu had enough variety, so it was easy to find something that matched what I wanted. My order was served fresh, and everything looked nicely prepared. The staff checked that customers had everything they needed, which added a nice personal touch. The seating was comfortable, and the dining area stayed clean during my visit. Parking was available and easy to access, so there was no hassle before or after the meal. Overall, the experience was smooth from start to finish, and I would happily return if I'm nearby again.“

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

“Best burger I’ve ever had. I always recommend you if someone asks about the best burger in town!“

“Food was great and fast!!!!“

“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!! 🫶“

“Although during a high volume time, all the staff made sure to address customers and check back on them. Food was delicious and came out within a good time with what they were working with. I will always keep them in my rotation of good bites before an event.“

“Consistently great wings and everything else we have tried.Cant beat the $1 wing Wednesday!“

“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! 😋🙂😇“

“I am a truck driver and ordered to the rest area on 33 through uber eats. This pizza is fuggin AWESOME. I will make a special trip to your physical location to get it hot and fresh sometime. Thanks for making excellent pizza!“

“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! 🤍🤍🤍“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

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

“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.“

“I took my husband to IHOP for Father's Day and had a wonderful experience! We brought our little grandson along, and our server was incredibly kind and patient with him (he is one), which made our visit even more special.

The food was delicious especially the pancakes and crispy hash browns. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the service was attentive from start to finish. Our server checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great food, friendly service, and a family-friendly atmosphere made for a perfect Father's Day breakfast. We'll definitely be back! 🥞“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“My best friend and I were from Tennessee and were heading back from Michigan. The food was absolutely delicious! We had fish tacos and cheese pizza. We had Spinach dip for an appetizer. The Spinach dip was more on the sweet side for those that like that flavor profile.

The service was great! Our server was positive and attentive to us. I had something on one of my plates, and she immediately replaced it with no issues. The patio was nice and beautiful, and we hope to see them again the next time we visit 😁.“

“I can’t say enough about how amazing IHOP has been, I work at Galloway Ridge and we celebrate our students with a student of the 9 weeks breakfast and they donated breakfast 3 times this school year. Not only is it appreciated, it makes the kids and their families day!
We can not thank you enough for supporting our students.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Walking back from a music festival and we stopped in here because it was open and we were starving. We felt welcome by the staff and the food was amazing. Flavorful with every bite. We might make this our food place every night we are walking back.“

“03/07/2026 - First time visiting this Roosters with family and friends. Long wait and that’s okay. We arrived mid afternoon. The staff were friendly and true to their list of first come first serve; contingent on the party size. Once seated, our server did not take long to arrive. She was attentive and prompt. I ordered their delicious Buffalo Chicken Pizza with a Coca Cola and hit the spot. Spacious outdoor patio. Available parking out front. Traditional Roosters decor. Enjoy.“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“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.“

“I stop by in the morning. Staff is always very good to me. Kitchen and dining room is nice and clean. Love that place“

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

“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.“

“Amazing service EVERY time!!“

“I posted a review earlier about the Livingston Ave location. The restaurant sent me a free meal coupon. Thank you. Today,I went to the Morse Rd location. That was a good experience. The food was good and the soda wasn't weak. I'll have to get a bigger sandwich next time. They should just close down the Livingston location for real!“

“Was down until Columbus for a concert and popped over to Polaris for Miniso and Chung-Chun for some Korean street food!!! 🤤 The kimbap was amazing, one of my favorite Korean foods! I tried the rice cake and sausage skewer and it was so freaking good! First time trying one. What sauces were on it? I wasn't sure!
Definitely getting Chung-Chun again next time I'm in Columbus!!“

“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 ❤️“

“I want to give a big shout out to the woman who was working by herself/alone today on 12/26/25! She was so kind and nice and still prepared are food! I want to say me and my mother appreciate you girl!!! Takes a lot to be a woman that is about her business!!! 🥰🥰🥰“

“I don’t use their AI drive thru because it’s slow and difficult to use (have to repeat many times). It’s faster to go in and order in person.

I went for breakfast around 8AM before a road trip. *The staff was very helpful, making sure I had everything I needed.*

The breakfast sandwiches are always good. The chicken sandwich was a bit over fried tasting and dry. Coffee is decent.“
