Walked in, looked in the service window and saw how disgusting the kitchen was, walked out. The flat top was smoking without anything on it because there was a thick layer of black char covering the entire thing. I went there wanting to try the restaurant and I had heard some good things. I sat there watching because I really hoped that that flat top didn't have food on it and that it was maybe used for something else. I watched the cook put a burger bun on it and I saw enough. And the black char wasn't even just on the flat top surface. It was all over the back and sides. It clearly hadn't been cleaned in a while.

One of the greatest local bars in town. Great food, expedient staff, and great atmosphere.

This is probably the best bar in Columbus and may serve the best wings too. Please don't come here.

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.

A surprisingly cool/fun neighborhood bar. You wouldn't expect it from the outside but it's worth a stop. They offer food as well.

This place goes well beyond "bar food" and makes some truly delicious meals. The pimento burger, falafel, wings, Mac and cheese...all fantastic. Drinks are super reasonably priced and all of the bartenders we've had have been great.

I go here regularly only bad experience was yesterday November 11. The 2 female bartenders were rude and more concerned about drinking with their friend than serving our group of 4. The service and food is usually great I hope they don't keep these ladies they really do have good wings too bad lousy help ruined

It’s got the crowd for everyone unless you’re here to judge. The food is so good, the service is fabulous and it’s the chill vibe we all wish for in a bar. It can be crowded and I hope it continues to be for the future success!

Came here on a business trip a couple of weeks ago, and was hesitant with the outside location, then we go in and had a real great time with the staff. Extremely friendly, and even though we got there after the kitchen closed, they went out of there way to make us which is probably the best chicken sandwich I think I have ever eaten in my life. We ordered the Railyard chicken sandwich, and I will definitely come back here the next time we come back. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Try the Railyard chicken sandwich, truly a great sandwich.
