50 Best Burger Restaurants in Columbus

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

“Evan’s service is exceptional!! He makes the Swensons experience truly amazing!! He greeted us with such respect and energy. He was able to provide us great insight on the menu and any questions we had. He was very kind and made the experience exceptional. I hope anyone else who goes to this location has Evan as their server! Thanks Evan!“

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

“I’m not even kidding when I say this brunch burger is the best thing that has ever touched my mouth. maybe i was really hungry but also i left zero crumbs. the egg was so perfect. also the maple syrup was surprisingly really tasty on the burger. anyways 10/10 burger and i highly recommend“

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

“I've had poor experiences at other Culver's in the past, so when the gang wanted me to pick up carry out on the way home I wasn't thrilled. The place was slammed when I arrived so I had to wait a little bit. I have to say though that the food was much better than I remembered. The burgers were at the top end of regular fast food chain burgers and very good, and the icecream was fantastic. Everything was good enough that I would be willing to stop back again. So maybe Culver's has won me back a bit.“

“Great service and nice employees!“

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

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

“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.“

“First time stopping in and definitely will be back.

Stopped in on a Sunday evening with my partner. We got a Spicy Boi burger and a Pastrami Bacon burger, 4 chicken tenders, regular fries and some cheese fries. We split everything so that we could both try it all. Not a single thing disappointed.
The burgers were doubles and really flavorful and had great toppings. Hard to choose between which burger I liked more as they were both so good.
The chicken tenders were nicely breaded and seasoned and nicely sized. We got the comeback sauce and the Carolina dip sauce and both were great.
Fries were crispy while tender inside. Cheese sauce was really nicely cheesy.
Atmosphere was pretty chill. No extra gimmicks. Kept it simple.
It definitely seemed like all the sauces and such were house-made as they were unique and tasty.

This is definitely going to be a repeat soon! So good.“

“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 .“

“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!! 🫶“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Food was great and fast!!!!“

“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.“

“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! 🤍🤍🤍“

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

“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 place is underestimated the food top tier, customer service was amazing! The chef I think his name is Chef Nuba he cooked this food to perfection.

If the owner sees this don’t forget about “The Nellie Special “ 🩷“

“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 😋❤️“

“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! 😋🙂😇“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I has just come from my doctor's from having a mammogram. I was upset because there was something wrong. The waitress was very empathetic and talked to me for a minute. She was very sweet and made sure I was taken care of. I wish I could remember her name. It was the one on Broad St. It was in the afternoon and she had dark hair. The next time I go there I'll be looking for her. Just a small jester or a word of kindness can mean the world to someone. So just be kind to one another, because you have no idea what that person could be going through.“

“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 ❤️“

“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 😁.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“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 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.“

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

“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!“

“I just want to say, Thank You! for the amazing service and food.
Few weeks ago we order food from the IHOP by OSU campus and we had bad experience, any ways we decided to give IHOP another chance, because we wanted to try the NEW STUFFED FRENCH TOAST, that has been advertising all over social media and let me tell you this place was amazing, we were greeted with a friendly smile, our server Britzia was very attentive, food was delicious, place was very clean.“

“My friend Patricia and I come to the Galloway location after work in the am and we just love the morning waitresses including Joanna and Erica. They are the best. They're always friendly and super engaging. We're always laughing. Please visit this location in the early morning 5am and after. You won't be disappointed.“

“Thee best Mr. Hero in Columbus Ohio area. The cleanest and most delicious. I ordered a medium Roman burger no onions extra house dressing and mayo extra toasted with a large cheese cup to dunk! Delicious every trip! It’s literally worth the drive and I live 35 mins away. I pass the Mr. Hero closest to me just to go to this one on Morse road because it’s the safest and cleanest, staff are always friendly and understanding.“

“The people were very friendly and did a outstanding job. Super fast and got are orders right. The store was super clean. I will definitely go back again. I thank you for giving great survive!!“

“Hamilton’s Pub has always been a fantastic happy hour place. Great food Great Drinks Great Staff“

“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.“

“Great experience! The burger was fresh, juicy, and very flavorful. The fries were excellent and the portions are generous 👍 The service was quick and the place was clean and well organized. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely come back again.“

“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!!“
