“Great place to eat and friendly staff.“

“Always fresh. Delicious flavor & texture layers. The chocolate-dipped strawberry is a nice touch, too. Yum!“

“You have never seen this much cheese like they put on each and every chili dog. Like it’s really funny. Laughable. Mind blowing. Even my 5 year old said “dad their food cost on this cheese must be so high it’s fiscally just not responsible” and I said “honey just by running
The numbers and depending on who their distributor is while excessive it could be done.” If your believing this you don’t deserve to drive a car or even possess cash to go here“

“Absolutely amazing experience at this Chick-fil-A! The entire team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from the moment I walked in. You can genuinely tell that they care about providing great service and making sure every customer has a positive experience.

I especially want to shout out Jimmy. He went above and beyond and was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. His attitude and customer service really stood out and made the experience even better. Employees like Jimmy are a huge reason people want to come back.

The food was great, the service was fast, and the team had an awesome energy. This is exactly what you hope for when you visit Chick-fil-A. Huge thank you to Jimmy and the entire team for making my visit such a great one! I’ll definitely be coming back. 👏🐔“

“I wouldn't say I go crazy for skyline, but when I occasionally go, I seem to always have a good experience with the staff. Most restaurant staff these days do the bare minimum or are straight up rude. But I've always felt welcomed at skyline no matter which location I go to. My server at this particular one was very kind and had a great smile. I know food service sucks, but it's nice to see some positivity in this crazy world and that's what keeps me coming back to skyline. And you can't really go wrong with a 3-way.“

“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“

“Place is awesome - came in from a long day of work hankering for some skyline. Hittem during a slow spell - saw the TVs. Asked em if they could turn on “How to Train your Dragon” for me while I ate. They obliged. Got dinner and show at my local skyline - A+ will be back. Thx guys! ✌“

“Just ate dinner here at the Culver's off Renner Rd. in Hillard. Our food came out quickly and hot. It was delicious. The person who took our order was quick, friendly and, polite. The restaurant was very clean and the dining room was staffed with someone who walked around cleaning tables as soon as someone left. We'll eat here again!“

“My kids and I stopped at Cane's on Polaris and was wowed at the speedy service of the crew on Saturday, 8/23 around 2:30 pm. Great job! Kudos to you all!“

“When we drove through for breakfast everyone working outside was so nice. Today we had a sweet girl named Shay who was so very helpful. Sometimes we eat inside, and everyone who works in this restaurant seems to really enjoy working there! Thank you, Jack & Polly“

“What can I tell you for those of you that have skyline your entire life and have become bored with it I'd suggest you try it again. I'm back in Ohio after a 30 plus year vacation in the military. I will tell you skyline has been great as a kid in Cincinnati and it's even better here in Columbus. Love this place!“

“I always love here. It’s better way to eat lunch and the portions is great. I mean you can share 1 full meal for lunch at least if you don’t want left over.
taste best their guacamole are always taste fresh. You can see by the color.
The Habanero sauce? Not that spicy. You can trust me. I don’t really like spicy but i can handle this. Sometimes the staff will give you small portions of the protein and give you rice almost 2 big spoon. Maybe change the spoon with the cup? (Just suggestion) so everything is equal and some regular customers not feel different.
But so far. Stuff all great, the crust bowl are all crunchy now, great job 👏🏼“

“This location has gotten better but still need to slow down a bit. Always forgetting our extra sauce and lid was not secure on cup and made the carrier wet and all 4 drinks broke through the bottom.“

“Delicious food. Good portion size. Nice workers !“

“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!!“

“First time ever at a Firebouse Subs,I've worked retail/customer service for over 30yrs, so I thrive to give positive reviews as we typically only hear bad ones,,,, amazing food, amazing customer service, everyone was friendly and outgoing, we will definitely be back 😁😁😁“

“Great food and awesome atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!!! 🥰🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the best fast casual burrito place, specifically THIS location is the best in the city too. The employees here are great. Portions are consistent and fresh all the time. The price is not highway robbery like the competition. Thank you for proving you don’t have to cut corners and still be successful.“

“Great food and awesome atmosphere.“

“Still the best! I’ve been enjoying Grinders as far back as I can remember. I love the Italian!“

“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.“

“I have a wheat allergy and this is our go-to place to eat! Seriously, this is one of two places I am allowed to eat at.
They always make sure there's no cross-contamination, I always feel safe eating here.
I am also noise-sensitive and they are so nice about turning the music down. Thank you guys so much for giving me a place I can actually go to eat out :,)“

“I love the meat here. Also their sauce is really good. I used to go here alot more when I wasnt sick and more mobile and they always would make a tray for me special because I was picky. I rechecked door dash and I'm positive it doesn't let u order gyro meat by pound. Please change this because it's easier for me to order from you.“

“This is hands down the best Taco Bell in Central Ohio.. we will drive 35 minutes out of our way just to have a chat with Bismarck! We have chosen this location every time that we’ve been able to! I’ve never had a chalupa from Taco Bell that’s worth it, but this chalupa is!!“

“Great customer service and management! I recently dined at this location and received the wrong order. The manager quickly worked to make things right and was super on top of it throughout the process. I definitely will dine here again. Thank you!“

“Very friendly and fast service. I always enjoy coming to get me a 2 patty cheeseburger. 😋😋 Highly recommend trying if you haven't.“

“I have eaten at this place 3 days in a row. Can’t get enough!! Kickin Chicken for life!!“

“I recommend this location get their phone message corrected since it says it opens at 10:30 am…and here I sit because it obviously doesn’t. 🙄“

“Just flew in from Pensacola and this was my first stop! Great atmosphere and fantastic service and the shakes were great. Will definitely be stopping back by again while I am here!“

“nice stop fast services. highly recommend“

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

“Love the chicken! Love the sauce!“

“Good food. Fast drive through.“

“This drive thru restaurant is awesome. I ordered fish sandwich and fries and wow!! So good. Go get ya some :-)“

“Everything about this place is great 👍. There food is great. Haven't been there in a minute but I still eat there sliders from Walmart and there still the best. Would highly recommend. Way better than Arby's. Definitely going back! Love from canal Winchester. 💓💓❤❤“

“Always a delectable experience!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋!“

“Im a regular at this location so much that when I walk in the door, "Its Hi Bryan". Its like your part of their family. All the people there are awesome to deal with. I've been to a couple other stores in town, and no one compares to the North store on Hamilton Rd in the Meijers parking lot.“

“Wonderful late night food, especially when all other restaurant establishments are closed or completely understaffed. This location is absolutely fantastic, carrying out a tradition at Greenlawn and S. High St. going back many many years. The special request for our order were perfectly complied with and honored, spectacular fashion, even when the restaurant was completely slammed with drunk and obnoxious customers and patrons. Superb customer service was exhibited by all employees, and the cooks even in the back were performing their work duties with smiles and grands on their faces. The milkshake was probably one of the best cold beverages that I’ve had in several months. The white Castle meet, specifically steamed with onions is a timeless taste that definitely triggers panic mode for many customers. A tiny little burger definitely has generated huge amounts of patronage and loyalty. The coffee was absolutely divine, freshly brewed and plenty of straws, cream and sugar to accompany this delicious beverage. The coffee at White Castle, definitely rivals Starbucks, Maxwell House, Stas, Folgers, and even McDonald’s coffee. The staff gave us plenty of to go bags when we could not finish our order inside this delightful restaurant establishment. Thank you again for a fulfilling late night experience in Columbus town!“

“Myungrang Hotdog Columbus is dangerously good. I went in expecting a fun snack and walked out thinking about it for the rest of the day. The week. The month. If they weren’t closing soon, I’d go get some right now.

The flavors and textures are such a wild (and brilliant) surprise—crispy, chewy, melty, sweet, and spicy all at once. The mozzarella-stuffed corn dog dipped in cubes of sweet potatoes, deep fried to golden perfection, then sprinkled with sugar and jalapeños is unreal. That combo hits every note: gooey cheese pull, crunchy exterior, soft sweet potato bites, a hint of sweetness, and just enough heat. It sounds crazy, but it works so well. Fresh, indulgent, and totally crave-worthy. If you’re even slightly curious, go. You’ll be thinking about it later too. 🤯

The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no seating. You can stand at a narrow countertop, but there are no chairs.“
