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

“I took my daughter here last fall while shopping at Easton. I was just looking through photos to figure out the name of this place so we can return. The burger was THAT good and I’m still thinking about it. I live in the Dayton area or I would be here all the time. We didn’t get any food pics because we inhaled everything so quickly. The burger was incredible, the patty was like biting through butter. So tender and cooked with love. I appreciate that they fry their fries in tallow, which is more expensive but produces a superior product. We ordered shakes which were also yummy. Our waiter was really patient while we acquainted ourselves with the menu, and offered suggestions. Definitely check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Lovely little cafe with the nicest staff. Definitely worth a stop. Wide menu with all the favorites and the place was immaculately clean.“

“Yum!!! Shrimp tacos were delicious!“

“This is an established and an amazing place. It’s always good. The food and service is perfect.“

“My mom, sister, and I came in for brunch while visiting Columbus, and discovered a place where we want to return! Every dish was delicious, the coffee was strong, and the service was friendly and awesome (thank for taking care of us, Haven!). Prices are reasonable and the dishes are unique. My mom’s had the corned beef breakfast, my sister had the breakfast totchos, and I had breakfast tacos. 15/10 would return. Wish there was one of these in Seattle.“

“Food was great and fast!!!!“

“They made the burger of my dreams. Two patties with cheese, brisket, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions with lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Needless to say, I smashed this burger, oh and my smash tots too. They have gluten free bun for those who need it. Evan was an amazing help with getting my monster burger. The workers were great and the atmosphere too. I can’t wait to go again.“

“really tasty food i like it <3“

“We visited Wings and more fast food today and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and excellent service. We ordered Panino Supreme Pizza and Sausage sandwiches, the flavors were authentic and the staff were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try something new or for Algerians missing the taste of home.Glad we have them in the Columbus area ?“

“Fourth of July. Late afternoon. We stopped by for dinner. First visit ever. Friendly, professional staff. Our burgers were made to order right in front of us. Toppings were fresh. Perfectly grilled to medium/well. Shoestring fries were great. Chocolate shakes, hand made, were to die for. This was the best burger ever. Better than Five Guys….better than anybody’s! You will not be disappointed. If you live 50:miles away, I promise it’s worth the trip.“

“I ABSOLUTLEY love the slaw dogs and the fries are GREAT also....but the best part ...they put 2 oatmeal pies in the bag for FREE...now who the heck does that in this day and age“

“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.“

“We have been to The Rail Grandview twice and have had a great experience both times. The food is fantastic, fairly priced, and served in great timing. The staff are friendly and the place is clean with a cool vibe.“

“Definitely will be going back here again and again! The location is great being right next to hotels and gas stations in walking distance. The food is fantastic and there is plenty of CLEAN seating with a great atmosphere. Also, management even walks around to check on all the customers. Wow! A definite must stop!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great prices and good food. They also don’t raise their prices on DoorDash. Will definitely come back“

“I love the atmosphere and private booths. The portions were large. The food was great! Our server Taylor was fantastic! Definitely will go 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.“

“We had a wonderful experience on a busy Saturday. It’s a small building and looks cramped but I have to say it felt very homey but not claustrophobicy. The food was delicious. The service was great! Will definitely be back!!“

“Good food and good service at an all-right price is pretty rare to find. Definitely will be coming back soon.“

“This is a great Burger King. Their fries are always hot and crispy, and their hamburgers charbroiled just right. The staff are friendly and keep the place running well for dine-in or the drive-thru. Coupons are plentiful. I do miss the pre-Covid prices on their coupons, but they are still reasonably priced savings.“

“Hands down my favorite location!They literally make you feel like you can “have it your way”Nice people on the drive thru intercom is highly appreciated.I appreciate great customer service and I feel that the staff at this location does a great job at properly managing the orders as well.I also appreciate that they mark the sandwich wraps properly to let you know if there is cheese on the burger or not. They even mark the outside of the sandwich wrapping if it has extra toppings, which is also appreciated.Thumbs up from me (:“

“Great prices, good food, a truly local establishment that has a bit of a dive bar feel. Their service is fine but like most popular places that don't make a point of overstaffing, sometimes the staff gets pretty busy and it can take a while to be attended to.

I prefer one-of-a-kind, non-corporate, local businesses and they are one of the only bars/restaurants like that left in the area.

They also have an old-school juke box with good music that requires cash (and not an app) and doesn't let people skip songs by paying more or any of that weird stuff.“

“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.“

“I ordered the chihuahua steak. The portion size could've been better but tbh I don't know if I blame the restaurant, chihuahuas simply don't have that much meat on them.

Nevertheless, it was wonderfully seasoned. The fries weren't great though.“

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

“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.“

“I have been to Ted's Montana Grille many times since they opened in Columbus, OH. I love Bison burgers but I have to say, this last trip there it really tasted like the Bison meat has been losing its original taste and becoming more like a typical beef burger. The more they domesticate this animal the more tame the flavor seems to get which is not great for those of us who like the "game" flavor.“

“I’m a native New Yorker who made it a point to find the best pizza in Columbus. I originally found the German Village location. Loved it! Was very excited when the Clintonville location opened. Love the atmosphere, especially by the bar area. Was giddy when they opened up the Dublin location:-) Their lunch special is truly special! Their individual pizzas and their salads are fabulous. The menu is great! My only gripe is the nonalcoholic beer should be less expensive.

Parking: There is plenty of parking in the side and back lot as well as street parking out front. All free.“

“Great food and atmosphere. If you like to look at pretty young girls go here lol. There are a lot of sweet girls working here. Everyone is always so nice. My family comes here about 4 times a month

Vegetarian options: Not sure

Dietary restrictions: Im sure they have something

Kid-friendliness: Yes great with kids here and have seats for kids also

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes all wheelchair accessible“

“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.“

“We went for brunch and loved the atmosphere and our server was wonderful. The only thing that was as odd is that the coffee pot was broken and they didn't have coffee available for brunch at 11am? The music was a bit loud to hear over and would have been more appropriate later in the day. Overall loved the food and experience. We look forward to going back again!“

“I ALWAYS have the best experience here at Lovells. The food is ALWAYS good. The wings have become my personal favorite. Not only that though, Monday nights are my main night when I go in and the bartender Josh remembered me after 3 visits if that! I recently moved into the neighborhood and he has always made me feel
welcomed with service being exceptional. I appreciate the genuine attitude and demeanor he gives off. Will STAY coming back for food and especially the service I received every time I come here.“

“There's a big order screen when you get to the counter, it's straightforward. I ordered a medium soy garlic chicken w/ steamed rice. The chicken was made hot and I only had to wait a few minutes, plus the lady behind the counter was very kind. The food was delicious including the rice. I also ordered the iced dabang coffee before I left and it's good (I took a few bites and sips before snapping the photos). Dine in area was clean and there are napkins, utensils and an assortment of condiments at the counter. I had the corn dogs before and I recommend the cheddar + sausage w/ potatoes. Great little food joint at the corner of the food hall and I'll be returning here to dine whenever I revisit the mall.“

“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.“

“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!“

“First off! Only reason for 3☆ atmosphere. I've never been there when the lobby wasn't closed so I couldn't tell you what kind of atmosphere it has.. The food is fuggin amazing!! Myself being from the Deep south (Fl) fried chicken was a staple in the kitchen. We know good chicken and Savvy's would put ENTIRE chains out of business down south...Now I'm a 5 Foot 7 slice of heaven but I'm thick like man Kevin James ok. When I go to ANY restaurant the first thing I get is their "Signature" Burger or their "most popular" burger. If ANY kitchen (not including seafood) can't make a Great burger then I wouldn't expect more from the rest of the menu. That being said the sliders being pumped out of this place are absolutely MOUTHWATERING ? ? ? nuff said. The Fries are a whole nother chapter by themselves and then they throw some Cajun sorcery in with em and if I'm not careful ill bite my own fingers. Ça c'est bon!“
