“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

“This was my third time at Agni and by far our favorite with the Midwest Nostalgia Menu. As always, the service is friendly, welcoming and incredibly attentive always refilling waters and replacing napkins when a guest uses the restroom. They are very accommodating of dietary restrictions and ensure they explain the meal with consideration to these. The vibe is casual while the food is next level fine dining, yet approachable for anyone. Each course truly got better and better, all the way up to dessert. We were absolutely BLOWN away with the level of creativity and interpretation of Midwest Nostalgia turned fine dining. My husband and I lived in NYC and for 8 years and were big foodies, and both said this was very possibly the best meal we’ve had in our lives. Go for yourselves and see what you think! I promise you’ll enjoy.“

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“If we’re just basing the establishment on the quality of their food and not former owners. You can’t miss with Town Hall kids menu is great, clean ingredients and everything is always delicious. Had the egg sando for brunch it was delicious.“

“Excellent Food, Top Notch Staff... Wonderful place for our Holiday Party... THANK YOU!! 🎄🖖🏻❤️🤍💙☃️❄️🌎🇺🇲“

“Loved the food, service and atmosphere.“

“Northstar Cafe in Columbus was a great find. The cookie alone was worth the stop. Fresh, soft, and full of flavour. The sandwiches and shakes were just as impressive and everything tasted like it was made with real quality ingredients.

This is an order at the counter and serve yourself style cafe, so there is no table service, but the setup works well for the vibe of the place. The food comes out quickly, the space is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Overall, Northstar Cafe delivered a delicious and enjoyable experience. Great food, great desserts, and a casual style that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy your meal. Five stars.“

“There was amazing service, it was fast and the waiter was amazing. They were pretty busy when we got here but got seated right away as well as our food was fast and tasted amazing. Definitely a favorite and will come agin“

“I had the nicest dining experience this afternoon! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It was warm and inviting after a 10 minute walk in the frigid air. My server, Casey, was exceptional. She was friendly, helpful, funny and heartwarming. I felt like she was a friend. She recommended a delicious drink, appetizer and pasta dish that were all beyond compare. She has great taste. At the end of the meal, I was given a free dessert just for being me— that was so thoughtful! I ended up taking a bit back to my hotel room, but I smiled all the way back.“

“We had a delightful Christmas Eve dinner with appetizers and three different entrees. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and our favorite! The sauce was wonderful!“

“Went there for brunch and ordered the Tavern Benny (sausage, gravy, biscuit, eggs). Food was kind of lukewarm and for the price was nothing special. The service was top notch though. From start to finish. Great employees and experience from that standpoint. Next time I go I'll order something different.“

“A group of friends and I had an amazing time at Denmark's Cocktail 101 class! Garry made the craft of cocktail-making fun and approachable, and had great recommendations and tips and tricks -- even for those in the group who like to think of themselves as cocktail aficionados!

Denmark is one of the best cocktail bars in Columbus, and experiencing a class here is a memorable experience! Highly recommend booking a class.“

“Bodega is one of those places that knows exactly what it is and leans into it. A low-key, no-frills neighborhood dive with just enough charm to make you want to hang out longer than you planned.

The funnel cake fries are the real surprise hit. Crispy, fluffy, perfectly dusted with sugar and dangerously easy to keep eating. I honestly came in for a drink and left thinking about those fries.

Huge shoutout to Salim behind the bar. Super friendly, attentive, and bringing just the right mix of smooth and playful energy that makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. He made the whole experience better.

Bodega may not be trying to be fancy, and that’s part of its appeal. It’s a relaxed, easygoing spot with good vibes, great service, and snacks that punch way above their weight.

Would come back, especially for those funnel cake fries and Salim’s hospitality.“

“Mom and I went for lunch yesterday and both ended up having breakfast! She got the buttermilk pancakes and I ordered the special pumpkin pancakes with cinnamon butter and tres leches drizzle. Mom loved hers and my was fabulous. I also had two links of sausage that were better than your usual mass made, which made me wonder if they get it directly from a butcher. The iced tea was also fresh and good.“

“We had a nice meal, but unfortunately two different parties that our table didn't get quite what they ordered. The server did a nice job rectifying the situation, but it held us up a little bit and just wasn't quite 100% satisfying. That said they have a nice menu lots of gluten-free options (one member of our party has celiac disease) and everything was very fresh and tasty once we got the orders delivered correctly.“

“We were a party of 7. I booked online to make it easy and they could expect us. As expected when we arrived we were immediacy seated ( Saturday 4:30 reservation) Service was great. Food was great. We alerted server of a food allergy her and the rest of the kitchen team went out of their way to clean out the fryer and put in fresh oil so that my niece could have french fries. This was super thoughtful. When we went, it was not super busy, but it did pick up quickly and get loud in the restaurant - though it is a sports bar, - it DOES carry restaurant quality, and I would most definitely recommend. Our servers name was Aryanna- she was top notch!!!“

“We love this place! But didn't check my order before we left tonight and it was wrong. Bad me. Didn't get the sub I ordered and all was cold. Just check your order before you leave.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I haven’t been to the J. Alexander’s in Worthington in a few years, and wow — they reminded me exactly why this place used to be one of my favorites.

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect. The meatballs were packed with flavor. The mac & cheese was creamy, rich, and downright comforting. But the real surprise of the night?

🔥 THE STEAK ROLLS. 🔥
Easily the best appetizer on the menu — flaky, crispy, flavorful, and flat-out addictive. One bite and I knew I’d been gone from this location way too long.

The service was smooth, the atmosphere was classy but relaxed, and the food was elite from top to bottom.“

“I have been to this place their very caring helpful atmosphere great their foods even blessing feeds Lots people their more positive hopefully they still have them bible studies their great for community staffs friendly helpful ambiance is casual foods be great services is good they really help people out sometimes have things to entertain kitchen homeless they have great ministry I’ve been pantry I’ve ate there wonderful people I made it got my own place living it up“

“The best of the best. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Flipside in Easton is a great spot, especially if you’re looking for gluten-friendly options. Their truffle fries are outstanding—crispy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. The burgers are excellent as well, cooked just right and packed with flavor. And if you’re a brunch or cocktail fan, don’t skip their Bloody Mary; it’s easily one of the best around.

Highly recommend for a casual, delicious meal with something for everyone.“

“Had a great experience the food was great and everyone was friendly“

“Yummy food, nice personal, sometimes gets a little loud in there but nothing crazy
-I like their burgers and salats, and their fries are super good as well. You will have to order at the register by the front door they will give you a little light up thing to take to the table and the waiters will bring your order to your table. For a sweet treat after lunch or dinner get their carrot cake or any of their cookies super rich and yummy !!! fair price for quality food ! Definitely would recommend this place !“

“I stopped in while back in town for Christmas. I had a great smash burger, fries, and cheese curds. All were great. The sauces were all homemade and great as well. Everyone was friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend Ash & Em in Hilliard.“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“Wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Our waitress, McKenzie, was delightful and most helpful in giving us input on selection choices. We enjoyed the patio and our whole first experience here. Definitely will return.“

“Came here on the Saturday night of the winter storm, so it was not as busy as usual. We had the Brussels sprouts as the appetizer. My dining partner has the apple glazed salmon, while I had the goat cheese ravioli with shrimp. Both dishes arrived hot and tasted as good as the presentation. Server was attentive without hovering.“
