“Chili blog on the road. on a road trip to columbus.. After a nice fall walk and some record shopping. i picked up Chili and cornbread. For 5.50 The chili was very decent. Huge chunks of beef chili and kidney beans. Onion dices so thin that you get that flavor without the texture they also appear to use red pepper but no chunky tomatoes. This chili had a very minimal amount of spice. Overall. 7.5 I'd definitely come back for the chili.”
“All I can say is WOW. My fiancé had talked about Moe’s and been wanting to try. We finally gave it a try and will be returning!! The service is next to nothing. The food is fantastic, especially the potato salad, cornbread, smoked wings. Trust me when I say to get the moe’s fries and queso - it is LIFE CHANGING!!!”
“I had the dawg pound burger and loved it. I can't wait to try another menu item next time.”

“My family absolutely loves Texas Roadhouse in Newark. The kids were so excited to go there tonight. My daughter and I both always order the 6oz and 8oz sirloin and my little one orders the bites. We were very disappointed to find out after our order came out that they were completely out of A1. We always eat A1 with our steak. My steak had zero seasoning. Yes I could have sent it back but for personal reasons that is not an option for me. The manager happen to come around as I was boxing up all our steak and was very apologetic and said that their shipment must have not arrived. I totally understand that things are delayed but we would have ordered something else if we had known.”

“This is my go to local stop with my girls. No other place compares to Rolls. The staff treats you kind and are always welcoming. They greet you when you pull up to the speaker. Ask how you are. Something that is lacking in most drive thru experiences. Most places just say “order when ready” or “what can I get you”. Nothing personal. At Rolls you get that family feel. Their rolls are outstanding especially when heated for a few seconds. The long johns beat any in Licking County. Simply because the cream in them is light and very whipped. Not heavy and greasy. The oatmeal cream pies are also one of my favs. Honestly I have never had anything bad from there. The lattes are tasty as well. I have never tried the bagels but my friend says they are awesome so I’ll be getting one next time. Give them a try the next time you “roll” into town 😉 You won’t be sorry. They are a great small family owed business that strives to please each customer. I wish them nothing but the best!”
“Best gyro’s this side of the country!!!
The restaurant was fairly quiet and empty when I visited around 4–5 PM, which is unfortunate because the food was exceptional and delicious; the portions were sizable.
My career has taken me through 38 states, and I make a point to try local cuisine and support small, family‑owned establishments wherever I go. This place stands out. It is, without question, the best gyro I’ve ever had. The sauce is balanced and not overly heavy, and the portion sizes are extremely generous. I typically order a large with extra meat, yet I could barely finish their standard large gyro. Truly impressive quality and value. My family and I will be coming here often. The owners are super friendly, they love talking about their food but they have so many desserts, I found the information insightful. Don’t pass this place up if your ever in the area, you’ll
miss out on the best gyro this side of the country.”
“Roosters never fails, no matter the location and this one is no exception. Great food, great service and a great atmosphere at a reasonable price. I only wish there were locations in the south (particularly South Carolina) but that makes going home all the more special.”
“What an amazing first time here! Laid back bar and restaurant. Kinda reminds me of a 50s style bar. Unfortunately no TVs. But have a good jukebox and lots of things to check out on the walls. Had the benji burger and it was fire. I give this place a 5 ⭐️ Oh and the beer 💯”
“Service was wonderful and quick! Willing to help and make sure our pizzas were just right! Never had a woodfire pizza before and let me tell you..it was DELICIOUS!! I loved the option to custom make it with unlimited topings!! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!! Oh and loved how affordable it was!”
“Just picked up a blt pizza and it is fantastic, will definitely be back”

“R.I.P. B-dubs! I will never go back there again for wings now that I’ve found Don & Sue’s… hands down the best place for wings in the Newark-Heath-Granville area. Only wish I had found this place earlier. It’s so cool. Very well decked out with a hometown sports vibe. And the food is on point. Great garlic cheese bread, great onion rings, great pizza and now great wings. They have an “extra saucy” option, but there’s no need. My wings were drenched in Carolina Gold (my fav). And to top it all off, Harley was the greatest, nicest, sweetest server I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in ages. Whoever is running this place is hitting on all cylinders. Absolutely my favorite Newark restaurant by far.”
“Great bar and restaurant. Service was friendly and let us talk and visit with each other, we were not rushed. Relaxing atmosphere”

“I recently used City Barbeque’s catering service for an event. The service - from start to finish - was excellent & the food was just as good!
Two words - SMASHED POTATOES!!!!! Although everything was delicious, the smashed potatoes put it over the edge. The main dishes (pulled pork & chicken), with the signature sauces are stand-alone incredible. But when the sides are added, be they smashed potatoes or mac & cheese, the meal is amplified!
And the service! The food was delivered on time, warmed, and laid out in an orderly fashion. …almost as if they’ve done this a time or two!
Great job, City Barbeque! I look forward to reaching out for my next event.”
“I enthusiastically recommend this establishment to all individuals. I have participated in the recreational volleyball league for three years, during which one may either form a team and register to compete or enlist as a free agent to substitute for a team in need. Initially, I joined as a free agent three years ago and subsequently remained with the same team for the duration of that season, continuing to play ever since. The cuisine offered at the grill in the yard is exceptional, and I particularly endorse the wings. Most importantly, this venue is family-friendly, as my daughters take great pleasure in accompanying me to the yard while I engage in volleyball.”
“I had not been in a TJs for literally years (at least 10) because the last meal I got was so full of grease that it made me nauseous. Tonight my husband had some friends who were dining at the TJs in Newark, OH and asked me if I wanted to go. I was hungry and didn’t feel like cooking so I said. “Well I don’t really like TJs but I’ll try it.” I was glad I did. My meal was good. The portions were great. The service was outstanding even though they were very busy. We got a military discount because my husband is a vet. I’ll definitely go back to the TJs in Newark on north 21st street.”
“We go out of our way 35 minutes from where we live at to visit this one that gives you so much more food than our local 1 does the grilled chicken look so much better bigger fatter pieces and they've never messed up on our order at this place. Tonight I want to thank the manager for fixing an error. I had put in an online order this afternoon called to change the pick up time to 4pm. got there and It wasn't ready someone overlooked the order. but the manager fixed it ...we got home our order was perfectly done. thank you! I highly recommend this location”
“I’ve been ordering take out from here for 4+ years now. I’ve never once had a bad experience. My food has always been consistent and fast service. Loved every dish I’ve tried”

“Incredibly relaxing environment. Clean restrooms and overall clean bar. Brie is an excellent bartender. Took her time and made my drinks correctly. The chicken wings are a 10/10 easy. Perfectly cooked. Thank you for a great time after a long shift.🙂”

“I live in Mount Vernon Ohio and I drive all the way to North just to get their Pizza. Their Pizza is completely covered in pepperoni and cooked to a crispy perfection. We finally got a Pizza Cottage in Mount Vernon where I am from in the service is horrible as you can see on the reviews I live 10 minutes from Mount Vernon Pizza Cottage I ordered a pizza they told me it would be ready in 20 minutes this is when they very first opened at 11:00 in the morning. I got there within 10 minutes was very surprised that my pizza was ready. When they handed me the Box through the window I found it odd that it was cold. When I got home the pizza was cold as though it had been refrigerated overnight and they didn't even take the time to reheat it it just gave it to me as a cold leftover from last night I'm not joking it was literally refrigerated cold the pizza crust was super rubbery from being stored in the refrigerator. The customer service there is appalling. I will continue to drive to Newark from Mount Vernon to get the greatest Pizza in the world from that Pizza Cottage. Even by the time I get home from there my pizza was hotter than it was from Mount Vernon where I lived 10 minutes away nor have I ever been given cold leftover night pizza from Pizza Cottage of Newark. I would recommend them a thousand times over great customer service very clean restaurant great food always. Mount Vernon is the worst I would never recommend it to anybody not with their childish behavior on the inside nor their cold leftover pizza they didn't even bother to heat up before giving it to me when they first opened. Hopefully it closes down before it gets Pizza Cottage a bad name”
“Note: I'm Not a food critic nor a 'foodie'; if you want such a review, move to NYC. However, I grew up in Nerk & was in town for the holidays & decided to give Alley Cat a try... My wife ordered a 12" Veggie pizza & I got their Full-sized Philly Steak sub & a Full order of their Cheesy Garlic Bread. ALL were EXCELLENT !! One of the Rare exceptions where website/app pics posted by a restaurant Actually matches what you receive as your order. All the ingredients were fresh & the pizza had enough cheese on it to go well with all the veggies that they lavishly heaped on the pie. The crust was a happy medium between not-too-thin & a hand-tossed; it passed for thin in my wife's discerning eyes. Order was ready for pickup at the specified time; owner & chef were very friendly & even called to verify one of my special requests, which most restaurants would've blown off & just made it the way they wanted to. They are the most recent owners, who rely on the Slice app to receive orders, since the original website was not transferred to them in the transfer of ownership.”

“We had such an amazing experience with this establishment and with its owner. We ordered food for eight and it was all hot, delicious and wonderfully prepared. I can’t say enough for the service and treatment that we received along with the great food! I give them a five star all the way across!!!”

“Stopped by Bob Evans in Newark, Ohio, for a delicious homestyle meal. From the warm hospitality to the comforting, made-from-scratch favorites, it's always a great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you're craving classic comfort food in a welcoming atmosphere, Bob Evans is a dependable stop that feels just like home. ❤🍳☕”
