“We were visiting from out of town and decided to try this place since it had fantastic reviews. It absolutely lived up to it's expectations if not exceeded them!!

The server, Corey, was outstanding. Attentative, knowledgeable, and kind. The food (French Dip and Pan Fried Fish) was stellar. Everything was hot, fresh, and well flavored.

Highly recommend!“

“Great for small group get together. First class staff!“

“Had breakfast there yesterday with my family. Management and staff were very friendly and efficient.. manager is friendly and such a kind guy. I felt as if I was in a small town as we struck up a conversation with the booth next to ours. My son and wife had a wonderful burger and fries with a old fashioned real scooped milkshake and I had the most delicious ham and cheese omelet . I can’t say enough good things about the experience. 5 star’s! Cant wait to come back!“

“Imagine my surprise and delight when I looked for a restaurant, near my hotel in Columbus, Ohio this evening, and found SOW! SŌW Plated was founded by people who wanted to demonstrate that brain healthy and mood supportive food could also be delicious. We had a wonderful conversation with one of the owners who is interested in what I am doing with both the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition and Eating Protein Saves Lives. We then had an amazing dinner 🙂. Hopefully, we will find a way to collaborate.“

“The food here is the best. You can choose healthy options or not so healthy options. You will not be disappointed.“

“Such an awesome place I just discovered today. Great service and delicious offerings I’ll be back!“

“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.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“It was past midnight and I was starving. This was the only decent place opened. My experience exceeded my expectations. Everything was great, the atmosphere, the food quality, pricing, and the speed of service. Our waitress was Tony, and he was very kind and attentive. His Grateful Dead shirt and his cool mustache made my night“

“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.“

“I've had poor experiences at other Culver's in the past, so when the gang wanted me to pick up carry out on the way home I wasn't thrilled. The place was slammed when I arrived so I had to wait a little bit. I have to say though that the food was much better than I remembered. The burgers were at the top end of regular fast food chain burgers and very good, and the icecream was fantastic. Everything was good enough that I would be willing to stop back again. So maybe Culver's has won me back a bit.“

“Best restaurant, especially for people wanting clean, healthy and food-sensitivity safe options. I travel often and this is the only place I can go knowing I have no worries on food choices. I have Lyme Disease and usually pull food out of my purse at restaurants while others eat off the menu; here I feel normal again. EVERYTHING, seriously EVERYTHING tastes amazing. To know me is to know Townhall is my go-to spot in Columbus and Cleveland. Big fan of Rebol and Green Goat too.
Beautiful, chill vibes are a bonus.“

“Such a great place. Love the natural light and nice people.“

“Went there after a terrible experience with the other guys across the parking lot. Alexander’s was really good- get the spinach side- best ever.

Whet really made the experience was the team at the bar- made me feel valued, appreciated, and important.

They recommended the chicken pasta soup- so happy they told me about it!

The team- Amanda, Autum, Kieran were top notch!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

Run there!!!“

“Wow! Hailey hit it out of the park for our impromptu breakfast quest that led us here! She was stellar in every way. Best service we have had on a trip & the tips and tricks on how she perfects her Bloody Marys was A plus! We can’t wait to come back next year and return- truffle eggs were so good!“

“We really enjoyed The Pearl! We felt comfortable from the minute we walked in, and there were so many great choices on the menu. We tried the hanger steak and the salmon, and both were excellent. The cocktails were amazing too.

And definitely try the Devils on Horseback. So good!

Great food, great atmosphere, and just an all-around enjoyable dinner. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Columbus.“

“I dined here for dinner several times while visiting Columbus and was in search of healthful gluten free options. WOW the quality of the food here is excellent for the price point. The gluten free buns are delicious and soft. The zero proof cocktails are not overly sweet. Atmosphere is lovely and service is too notch. I wish I could pick this place up and take it home with me! I would be a regular. So impressed!“

“🍷 Growing up in Italy, I’m naturally a little picky when it comes to Italian food, but Forno Kitchen + Bar has become one of my favorite spots here. I often come for their wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, both full of authentic flavor that instantly take me back to evenings in Turin. The warm atmosphere, paired with a good glass of wine, makes every visit feel like a little taste of home“

“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!“

“the food was amazing, and the service was top notch. try the fried b&b pickles“

“We had several dishes but the short rib was tender and delicious. The burger which my son stared was the best he ever had echoed by the server was ok. I would definition come back for the short rib... the cookies were smaller than miniature but it's a nice touch.“

“Relaxing, entertaining & fun. The food is adequate.“

“Stopped in for the first time today finally. Absolute best coneys I have had in a long, long time!!!! Will definitely be back!!!!“

“We literally stumbled upon this place. Wanted to eat a good vegetarian burger. Saw the ratings and took a chance. We found a place we will be frequenting for sure.
Great energy walking in. Warm welcome and amazing inviting vibe from each person we interacted with. Loved the concept. A multi dimensional menu is well crafted. Drinks were out of this world. Food was really delicious. Care, attention to detail was of the highest level. Did I say food was delicious?
All three of us wonders if we have lived under a rock to not have known about this place.
House made pimento cheese dip and guacamole were out of this world.
Just GO! You won’t be disappointed. Only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have a full five star rating!“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“Food was spectacular, staff was super friendly, lots of food for the cost. Highly recommend.“

“server was fantastic...food was tasty...portions a tad small. overall positive experience“

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

“First off, Order process was so quick. Went in and talked to the owner for a bit. What an amazing guy! We really liked the seasoning on the fries. The spaghetti was way better than skyline. Not sure about the coneys but they must've been good because they were gone before we got home. If you want good food at a good price and want to support local, this is a great option. 💯 Will be back and can't wait.“

“Fun atmosphere! Go Irish ☘️“

“Recommended by a friend. Excellent food, not your average bar, these guys understand food!“

“Pretty solid one of my favorite breakfast spots. But DEVASTATED that they no longer have Detroit style coney sauce 😭“

“This week, we came in as a party of seven, and Faith took great care of us. The service was extremely fast, especially considering the size of our group.
I had the Turkey Club, while someone else had the Cuatro Tacos, another had a hamburger with onion rings, and the rest of the group enjoyed the Thanksgiving Turkey Dinners.
Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. All of our meals were great, and everyone left happy. Great food and great service—what more could you ask for!“

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

“We love Delaneys! They have great food and the staff is friendly !“

“I love Mexican food I recommend eating here. My family tried the beef and chicken birra enchiladas. We all loved it, even my three cats. 😋“

“I came in to get breakfast to go . They were a little busy when I got there . I sat down and was gave silverware and offered a drink right away . I was accommodated by the regulars and Kate the waitress about what I should order since it was my first time. Regulars recommended I get a half order of French toast and half order of biscuits . Kate recommended I get the gyro since she likes it and its popular. I also ordered hash browns and scrambled eggs . I took the food home and the eggs were missing but they gave me a credit for those next time I come back . Everything tasted really good, loved the hash browns 10/10. The French toast and gravy was really good, the biscuits were a little crispy thou . Fiancé says gyro was okay but pretty dry not much meat 5/10. Will definitely be back Tuesdays threw Fridays when Kate Works !! Thanks for the great first experience. BTW this breakfast/lunch place is right next to panera !!“

“I’ve been excitedly waiting for this location to open since I work right down the road. Stopped by for lunch today and ordered my usual- half slab of ribs, fries and green beans. Plus a couple bottles of my favorite sauce of all time, Sweet City. Delicious as always. The ribs seemed even meatier than I’m used to at the other locations I frequent. Lemonade was great too.“
