The food is always hot and fresh. I've only used their drive thru but the service is phenomenal. They're always kind and efficient. The outside is clean and well maintained. I also like the promotions they have posted around the building.“

“Had our birthday dinner last night with 18 people and we were treated like royalty!!! Got a reservation no problem. We sat outside and it was going to begin storming so they closed the canopy around us. They turned on fun twinkly lights, swept up. Most importantly, when it began raining so hard, we couldn’t hear and it started to come through the canopy, they didn’t care at all that we took our large group inside!!!! Most of all, there are not enough words to say about our waitress, Robin. The best service we have EVER had anywhere. She treated everyone like family, no one ever waited for a thing!!! Not for food, not water, not drinks, not napkins, not anything. No one even had issues with their bills even though this large group was all separate and moved all over the place. Everyone in our group expressed how amazing she was and how not a thing went wrong or unnoticed or not taken care of. She is a wonderful person and a master of her job. Thank you Robin and the rest of the staff!!!“

“So much fun! Glad we had reservations so we had actual seats. I would hate to stand all night. Our server, Alexis, was phenomenal! Friendly, attentive, and when we asked for napkins bc of the condensation from our glasses causing our table to be wet, she went a step further and came back with a wet rag and cleaned our whole table!“

“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.“

“We had Culver’s ice cream catered at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Nick Donahue, the GM of Powell, and his team were wonderful. Thank you, thank you! 5 ⭐️!!“

“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.“

“Stopped in for happy hour-ordered the KFC bites, fried green tomatoes, and deviled eggs. All 3 were fantastic! The entrees were delicious and the cocktails were incredible! Service was also top tier!“

“Consistently great food! I love the chicken kopanisti gyro. It’s been my go-to meal for years. Customer service is always great. The owner, Genti, is very friendly and personable and always stops to say “hi” when he sees me. He pours so much time and effort into his business and the efforts are very apparent. It’s also an excellent place if you’re into bourbons.“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“We had to cut our experience last night short due to a change of plans but before we had to leave it was great. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, and amazing food. We had to get everything to go but even then 2 hours later the food still tasted great. If you are ever near the zoo this is a must try.“

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

“Excellent food and great service at the Delaware location“

“As always, the food and service here were top-notch! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. You can really tell this place is run by a solid management team—they keep things smooth, friendly, and welcoming. It’s one of those spots where you know you’ll leave happy every single time. Honestly, it’s become a go-to for me because everything just works—great food, great service, and a great vibe all around.“

“great bar! awesome bartenders! Great music venue! but they need work on their mac and watery cheese.“

“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 🤷‍♀️“

“I have been to Firebirds 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I love there food. I really like the valentines day special they had, the salmon with grits and lobster quest. So good. The only item I did not like was the bread. Everything else was great including the Black Diamond Martini.“

“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we tried was presented so nice!! Loaded with flavor & fresh ingredients !!! Would definitely recommend!!! Total 10!!!❤️“

“The Morgan House is a lovely, unique dining and shopping experience with unique gifts and treasures. Once you go there, it will become one of your favorites! Our waitress for lunch, Kelci, was delightful and efficient. Try the Morgan House sometime soon!“

“AJ was our server and Hannah was his manager on shift and they were both AMAZING. Food & atmosphere were great but what blew me away was the service!! PLEASE request AJ as your server, he’s amazing! If you have any issues (which you shouldn’t) please ask to speak to Hannah. I think they both recognition because great service like theirs is the reason I continue to go out :)“

“We come to this location every month for a professionals luncheon in their event space upstairs. The team takes such amazing care of us. James is extremely accommodating and always communicates back quickly. Stew always checks in after our lunches to make sure the service was good. Giovanni takes such good care of us, always patient and kind, always in a good mood. He makes it such a good experience for us. The food is always hot and fresh, and it is always good. Highly recommend for just casual dining or if you have an event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We love to see more organic restaurants in the area. The only downside is that they don't accept cash which is strange and excludes some potential customers.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We came here for my son's 40th birthday dinner. We had about 30 minutes waiting for our table but the manager apologized and complimented 3 appetizers for our table. The waiter Karl was absolutely exceptional and made our experience so nice. The food was delicious from the short ribs to the Salmon. The only negative thing I have to say is the noise level is quite high because it is a small dining area and with the kitchen staff and all of the patrons I could not hear my party of 7 talking at the table.“

“Visited the new 3 Brothers Diner in Powell on Thursday and it was fantastic. Staff was over the top nice and the worst part of the visit was deciding what to order because EVERYTHING looked delicious from the huevos rancheros (which I got and highly recommend) to a plate of nachos that could feed a small army to the breakfast burritos our group ordered they were all fantastic. Topped my huevos off with the best cantarita I've ever had. This is going to become a new regular place to come for sure. Such a varied menu --will take us a long time to try everything. Make sure to try out this new gem in Powell.“

“Hands Down, some of the BEST food I have had since I moved to Columbus, Fries are cut fresh, Wings are HUGE, Those fried ribs are making me drool just thinking about them...... I've worked with Steve now for the last couple of years, he's an honest businessman, he is family oriented, and he always puts the customer first. Keep up the amazing work brother!“

“great ribs and sauce. definitely would recommend and will be coming back. thank you“

“Great service and a large menu.“
