“This is in response to Nancy Walters post.. first of all my job is to ask how many, 2nd - We DO NOT discriminate against single people, we seat single people all the time in booths. 3rd - I did not want you yo sit at the counter, I SUGGESTED it like I always do. 4th - you became irate about the situation and customers heard you be nasty to me. If you come back in be kind. I will seat you in a booth no problem. The food here is excellent and would love for you to eat here.“
“Heard about this place from friends, wanted to try since they were back open. Went on a Saturday night around 4:30ish. We had around a 10 minute wait, which a couple of bar seats opened up. Shortly after it was packed at the door. Recommend going early if you don't want to wait. Small seating area near the bar, but larger expanded area in the back. We had apps which consisted of the pretzel bites. They were fried and served with a cheese sauce as well as honey mustard. They were good. Crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The fries and onion rings were great. The fries were had cut, nice crisp and soft center. Onion rings were huge! I ordered the Ragin' Cajun' it was amazing. Great cook on the burger. Plenty of toppings to make it all come together. Not too spicy, but had a bit of a kick that left you wanting more.“
“This was my first time at Big Apple Cafe, and everything was absolutely amazing! I ordered the Crabcake Eggs Benedict, and it was BY FAR the best crabcakes I have ever had! The sweet tea isn't too sweet, and was quite enjoyable! I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting great food at a really good price!“
“Have been wanting to eat here for years and now I understand the hype!!! I got the birria tacos and a smashburger, wowwww phenomenal. I will definitely make the trip out there more often because of this food. The three others I went with as well have been talking about it non stop since we left. I’d say it was a hit!!!“
“Pretzel bites seemed a bit bland. Deep fried pepperoni could've cooked a bit longer, was not very crunchy. Bologna sandwich was fantastic with the caramelized onions, tomatoe, lettuce, cheese and mayo. White Cheddar Mac'N'Cheese very flavorful and hot to the last bite. Pizza sub was not horrible, but also seemed bland. Fries were good. First time here, overall a great experience, will be back to test the vast menu!“
“WOW! Amazing food & great staff! We were in town last night for the Night Ranger concert & we walked over from our hotel for a late lunch before the show. Sat at the bar- bartender was super friendly & efficient (her name escapes me - blonde young woman) I had fried ravioli for my app & my husband had the portobello mushrooms app. We shared the Dre pizza-absolutely delicious!!! We are wood fired pizza snobs & this was one of the best we've ever had! Great bunch of people sitting at the bar as well. Next time we are in town we will be back! PS- Newark is a beautiful old town. As we were there on a Sunday many of the shops were closed. We said we will definitely make another day trip to explore further.“
“Meatloaf is super yummy! Highly recommend!Their Buffalo Chicken dip is not my favorite unfortunately. Tons of chicken which I appreciate and a very generous portion. However it’s dry. Usually buffalo dips have a creamy base(cream cheese) and either blue cheese or ranch added in for flavor along with hot sauce. This tasted like chicken only mixed with hot sauce. I guess I prefer other recipes.That being said I did really enjoy the restaurant. Looking forward to trying other appetizers or soups.Server was really nice as well and did a great job.“
“We quite enjoy Elliot’s. The tacos are great but the thing that has always been missing is a hamburger. This time they had a hamburger offering it was called a slab burger and actually very very good. We tried to keep it light and shared one of the burgers and got a portobello appetizer, the portobello appetizer is excellent as always.“
“Chef Shack: Where Burgers Ascend to Culinary NirvanaForget everything you thought you knew about hamburgers. Chef Shack isn't here to play patty-cake with mediocrity. They're here to rewrite the burger rulebook, and let me tell you, they've penned a masterpiece. My recent visit was a revelation, a symphony of flavor that left me wanting more (and maybe a nap – these burgers are that good).First, the star of the show: the patty. Crafted with a blend of premium cuts, it's juicy without being greasy, cooked to a perfect medium-rare that showcases the inherent deliciousness of the meat. Each bite bursts with rich, savory satisfaction. No dry, flavorless hockey pucks here – Chef Shack understands the importance of a well-executed patty.But the patty is just the foundation. The toppings? A chorus of culinary brilliance. From the tangy bite of house-pickled red onions to the creamy indulgence of their signature Shack Sauce, each element elevates the burger to new heights. They offer creative and classic options, ensuring there's a perfect flavor combination for every palate. My personal favorite? The "Truffle Shuffle," a decadent masterpiece featuring truffle aioli, melted Gruyère cheese, and sautéed wild mushrooms. It's a luxurious explosion of savory and earthy notes that had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about burgers.The buns deserve a special mention. Soft yet sturdy, they cradle the burger without collapsing under the weight of deliciousness. They're toasted to a perfect golden brown, adding a hint of buttery warmth to every mouthful. It's the little details that truly elevate Chef Shack's offering; they haven't overlooked a single element.And let's not forget the sides. Crispy, golden French fries, hand-cut and cooked to perfection, are the ideal accompaniment. They're the perfect balance of salty and satisfying, a delightful counterpoint to the richness of the burger.Chef Shack isn't just about the food, though. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a touch of industrial chic. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable lingering, savoring the aftertaste of a truly exceptional burger.In conclusion, Chef Shack isn't just another burger joint. It's a destination for those who appreciate the art of the burger, where every element is meticulously crafted to create an unforgettable culinary experience. It's a symphony of flavor, a testament to what a well-made burger can truly be. So, do yourself a favor and head to Chef Shack. Your taste buds will thank you.“
“My second time here tonight. I met Bob and his daughter Jennifer. Also met some locals who were FANTASTIC and it's a guarantee I'll be back. I wish this was a local bar for me. Until the next time I'm back, thanks to every single one of y'all. You were amazing. I'll be back as soon as I can. MMMUUUUAAAHHHH! Love you guys. Thanks for a killer memory :) This is my new home away from home.“
“Had an early dinner this evening. As expected the food was excellent. I had the cheese ravioli special and my dining partner had chicken and broccoli. Fun creative drinks. And as usual Nate makes everyone feel like they are the most important person he has met today.No room for improvement!“
“I walked in and noticed the full bar. So, I decided to settle down and take a seat at a four-top. I was acknowledged by a server who asked if what I would like to drink. After giving he a beer order, she came back a few minutes later with a draft beer on a 24oz glass. The place was busy, so I distracted myself with other things while waiting for the server. About five minutes after, she came up and asked for my order (Crossroads Burger, single, with fresh cut fries). While waiting for my burger she checked for a refill. It was evident there is a strong local atmosphere here, with people greeting each other with hugs. There are a decent number of groups here with families and kids, so that gives me the impression this is a friendly place. I was brought my second beer about eight minutes after placing my order, and also not either the owner or a manager walking around picking up some stray napkins on the floor. After about 20 minutes my order came to the table. I figured if they were going to put their name on a burger, it should be good. It did not disappoint: the burger was smashed, well-reasoned, and juicy (medium), the jalapenos and pepper jack brought the right amount of heat, and the brioche bun was a good base to build on. I had pretty much finished my burger before the server checked in with me about ten minutes later. She was busy and I no complaints, so it's all good.The bar had completely cleared out about thirty minutes from my arrival, but my server asked if I'd like another beer, which I sure did, and I'm going to leave my review at that. Crossroads seems to be a good local place to grab a burger and a beer, and is community-based enough to make it family friendly.I'm going to relax with another beer and suggest you come here to do the same.Parking: Parking was available at the establishment and at tht gravel lot across the street.Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available for the little kids, and there seems to be quite a number of families here with their little ones.“
“Are you sick of paying $15! for a hamburger?This place is for you.It’s been an institution for over 50 years. It features diner-style food with a full-bar.Food is delicious and prices are cheap. The kitchen can take awhile if they’re super busy. Won’t impress foodies, but a solid Midwest meal.My only boomer comment: the jukebox is extremely loud!“
“Wow, this is one of my favorites. I went there for the first time, and it was amazing. The people just treated you like they've known you forever. The food was so good. I can't wait to go back. This is home cooking at its best.Kid-friendliness: Their grand babies and another little boy were there. I think it's very family-friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp instead of stairs.“
“Love coming here. Is one of the highlights for me every time I'm in town. The alcohol milkshakes are great with or without alcohol; I've tried every flavor. The foods I've had are just as good. I also like the set up of getting drinks. Once you get the hang of it, it's great. The fact that we can mix and match, I wish more bars had this set up.“
“Awesome hometown pub, best burgers in town!! Service is always great, we frequent a couple times a month. A regular go to for us!!Dietary restrictions: They do an excellent job with my wife’s gluten intolerance, always ask for “no bun” and have never been cross contaminated!“
“Best Stromboli in the Licking County, if not all of Central Ohio. Clean restaurant, nice servers, ok cakes (don't get the red velvet, it's too dry)... been around since the early 1950s. A Hebron staple. Don't forget to get Sherm Fries (always cooked perfectly) and to save room for ice cream.“
“Stopped here for dinner while visiting family, this place is a hidden gem!Had Calimari to start- the texture was great, the breading was airy and well-seasoned but very tender.I had the Chicken Riggies for my entree- the chicken was perfectly cooked and the vodka sauce was delicious! I asked for a little extra spice in the sauce and it did not disappoint (though would order as it comes if you're sensitive to spice).I finished with the flourless chocolate torte for dessert- the flavors of the dark chocolate balanced well with the fruit topping and was dense but not too filling. I would definitely get it again!Staff was very friendly and quick. I had an Old Fashioned, generous pours but not over-powering.We will definitely be back next time we're in town!“
“Nice place to share a meal with friends/family and catch up with each other. The only thing was that one of their pieces of cooking equipment was broken this night, and it limited the menu. The food we did get was excellent, though. My favorite, the Cheesy Pig, could not be made that night, so I had to branch out and try something new.Parking: Plenty of parking available, including handicap parking.“
“New restrooms r awsome.Service guy was great!Bring back your other cheese garlic bread. The "new " one is no flavor. Hated the pickle fries. Out ot 8 people..no one atethem. The chicken strips wereembarrassing. So thin and small Not sure we'll eat there again. I'm a big fan of this place..dont change!“
“I was in the area for work and figured I'd stop in Granville for a sandwich. Alfie's did not disappoint! I entered with a wild look on my face not sure how or what to order and the gentleman up front guided me through their options and was so darn friendly! So personable that I felt like we were friends by the time I left. Plenty of seats outside and it was such a nice day, I settled in a shady bench near the street to people watch. I'll have to come back!“
