“Excellent food and great service at the Delaware location“

“The food is food, it’s a bar after all. It’s the service that makes all the difference! Ivy, Rebecca, and “V” Valezka are amazing! Search high and low, you’ll not find three bartenders that will put a smile on your face, a beer in your hand, and wanting never to leave.“

“Wonderful staff. Food was ready fast and delicious.“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“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.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“

“We visited this restaurant with no idea what we were walking into. It's in our neighborhood and I'm sad to say we'd never been there before. The restaurant is cute, but our food was delicious. The French dip with some of the best roast beef I've had in awhile and the cheese curds are to die for. We will visit often“

“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.“

“Explain, maybe i'm not sure.Burger is is amazing.You gotta put this in your mouth and the fishing chips.And my wife has is absolutely delicious.But the brussels sprout appetizer is spectacular also“

“First time dining here. Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for a night away that we don't get often. We were not disappointed. Nicholas was our server and he did a wonderful job. Very informative on menu and very kind. Food was delicious! Will be back for sure.“

“Delicious food and amazing service by Ben!!!! Highly recommend.“

“We love this restaurant. The fried pickles are sooooo good.“

“Ashley was a wonderful server, extremely accommodating! Her suggestions helped me pair the right drink with my mood and my meal! The food was phenomenal. We shared deviled eggs and steak egg rolls. The eggs were top -tier, and the egg rolls basically melted in our mouths. We ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and our friend had the grilled salmon with orzo. We need boxes. We took home dessert. Coming here was the best decision we made last weekend.“

“We had a great time. Beautiful location, excellent coffee, seriously delicious food, friendly staff. We’re here from Wheeling,WV, but will DEFINITELY make the trip back!“

“We were invited to the VIP opening and because we absolutely LOVE Firebirds, we went. They definitely did NOT disappoint at all! - The service, the food, the drinks were incredible! (Shout out to Jig for being so attentive and awesome! We returned this weekend for the $19.95 Rib Special they were running for Labor Day Weekend and the food and service were top notch! Firebirds New Albany is a great addition to New Albany and we look forward to being regulars!“

“We really enjoyed our meals here. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, tender and great flavor. The wood fired chicken was equally good. We would've preferred the roasted vegetables be a bit more cooked. They were hot but basically still raw. The desserts that came with the 3 course meal were all tasty and generous in size. Would definitely recommend the creme brulee cheesecake... outstanding. The only thing that kept this from 5 stars is the ridiculously cold air conditioning. Our server said she'd talk to the manager about it, but nothing ever changed. The food cooled off very quickly, and we were frozen by the end of the meal.“

“We are regulars here. The staff are friendly and hard working. Not afraid to have a conversation with you and they will make your order right without issue. They have other locations but we prefer this location based upon the employees we encounter and the food being so on point.“

“Consider asking for the carmel sauce on the side of the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It was just a little too sweet for me. Fantastic, friendly service and we could see the food was prepared by a kitchen that cooks with pride and pays attention to the details. Very reasonable pricing!“

“Neat place. Counter ordering with table delivery. Self serve on soft drinks and water. Food was very good to match the nice atmosphere.
Buddha bowl with chicken was very tasty with a generous portion size. Fish sandwich was very good. Chicken and avocado sandwich also delicious. Both sandwiches were a bit messy to eat, but worth the effort.
Simple salad was heavy on kale but had a lot of flavor and was also good.
Black bean and chicken chili also very good.
Good draft beer selection and friendly service, we will be back.“

“Was able to eat and drink in the restaurant 2 nights in a row. The staff and chef is amazing. We normally stay at the hotel once a year and because of the restaurant experience this weekend we will now make this more than once a year event. I definitely recommend the Ribeye and the chef’s sides.“

“Have been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it in today with my best friend, what a disappointment. Their posted hours show open till 2:30 pm, we arrived at 1:50 (plenty of time for some pancakes and coffee.) The weight staff was in full on cleanup mode and made it Very obvious they were done working for the day with the way we were greeted. I ordered decaf coffee and was told there was none left so decided to have regular and then didn't even get a full cup of that. At $4.99 a pop I need a full cup. I looked at my friend and said "they don't want to wait on us they are annoyed that they are already cleaning up and we came in" she agreed so when the server came back I politely said "we will just elsewhere we can tell you're cleaning up for the day" There was no "oh you are fine, you still have 40 minutes" or anything like that there just " are you sure?" We left and headed down the street to Delaney's Diner who would also be closing in about an hour at 3 PM but a TOTALLY different vibe. Greeted with a smile from the person at the hostess stand and 2 of the chefs even looked over and smiled and said welcome come on in! We looked at each other and said much better, we are definitely in the right place now. I've heard nothing but good things about the pancakes at the Pancake House I only wish I would have got to experience them But being treated well is more important to me than food. I understand wanting to be done work for the day believe me but it wasn't like we walked in with 3 minutes till closing. Oh well 🤷‍♀️“

“This restaurant was a great find during 614 restaurant week. Have been back 3 times since. The service has been outstanding!! Food quality and menu diversity is awesome!! Website does not show full menu for lunch. But for me, a top 5 place to eat. Then again, maybe I don't get out enough.“

“Dat shizz was fire fire 🔥 bruh“

“Great tasting food. Small town vibe. Personable staff.“

“We were staying across the street and ventured over to first watch for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The place is busy but we were seated immediately. The waitress was super friendly. Brought out coffee and water right away. The menu is amazing. So many food choices. The food came out promptly and was piping hot. Super delicious too! Definitely a great spot for breakfast.“

“Great place!!! BUT REALLY MISS THEM OPENING AT 1 AM !! I’m sure a lot of people feel the same“

“Really enjoyed our Saturday night dinner celebration for 9 of us celebrating my grandson’s UC graduation. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was outstanding! The short ribs special was very good and we all agreed that the bay scallops and shrimp risotto is an outstanding dish! The entire staff is very friendly and for a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed excellent service! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant in downtown. Go a little ahead of reservation…downtown parking is somewhat limited. Thanks for a terrific celebration, Whitney House!“

“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.“

“First time at a City Barbecue- we’re from Montana but Southern roots: we had the “Not A Sloppy Joe “ sandwich for lunch- delicious!! Best hush puppies I’ve had in South Carolina, and my only regret is that this chain isn’t out west…yet!“

“Dan is the GOAT, I could not possibly be more pleased with the service we received at this location. Our food was fresh, delicious, and made with love. Best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant 🤩💙🍦“

“We had a large group (10 people) go in for brunch today. I rarely leave my house due to health reasons. This was a very lovely, relaxing time. The food was delicious and service was great. Thank you very much!“

“The onion rings and bbq chicken nachos were great. The french fries were so hard they wouldn't bend. They took them off the bill. We saw a lot of plates as we were leaving with all their french fries left on them. Burger were good.“
