“This is the perfect place for not only food, but for the drinks! As one of the vodka brands on their shelf, we on the Buckeye Vodka team see first how service is always great, too. This is a highly recommended place that won’t disappoint.“

“Love their food!! Every single thing we’ve had on the menu has been fantastic. Even better than the food is the service and atmosphere. The employees always have a great attitude are professional and fun to all patrons. Thanks guys for having a great option for food in the area!!“

I got a hold of (Ryan ) managers attention a told him the situation with the rude bartenders . An he took care of me an other folks at the bar that have patiently been waiting an been ignored . I was ready to give it a 2-3 star but the manager didn’t hesitate to make it up with the best hospitality . Thanks ??“

“This was our first time visiting Arch City Tavern and it was a pleasant experience. We were in Columbus for a girls trip and stopped in for dinner. The margherita pizza was very good and everyone else was pleased with their meals as well. Good drink selection as well. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid back even though it was crowded. Overall it was a good experience and I would return the next time I visit Columbus.“

“Italian sub!!!!! I was torn between oak burger and Italian sub and asked bartender. Him along with 2 random people next to me all said it at same time. It was a great sub, but make sure you are hungry, it's big. Loved the atmosphere and service too.“

“Server was fun! Food was great!“

“The Filling Station has always been a local favorite of mine, rather I'm by myself, with my family or meeting friends. I have been visiting more frequently the last couple months and love the energy! When you walk in the bartenders greet you by name, the manager Ian is always present with a smile on his face.
The food is great and always out so promptly. I cannot visit without having pretzels w/ cheese or hot balls. I always leave here with a smile on my face.“

“great atmosphere and entertainment good food drink prices are reasonable and new owners our good people“

“Great place to go. Good food and always friendly awesome service. They even remember my name when I come in.“

“I’ve never had a bad time at Eight and Sand. The food is beyond impressive and it is reasonably priced. You will not catch me missing the $1 wings every Tuesday and the veggie wrap is incredible. Don’t sleep on the weekly food specials they are always a tasty little surprise! Friendly outgoing staff all around, an awesome patio, and a chill vibe inside. It’s my very favorite bar, there isn’t another like it!“

“Our lunch at Calero's was great! The vegetarian pupusa just slapped, my husband got breakfast and loved it. Don't miss the black beans with crema, and cabbage relish. Papas were fresh and hot. You will not be disappointed.“

“First time coming to this 2 in 1 place also Black Owned Ridiculous Eatz. Excellent service. Our waitress was Melissa G. She was very nice and pleasant. The wings was Excellent. We had Buffalo, BBQ, and Hot Garlic (that wasn’t mentioned on the menu, but our waitress told us about it ). Also had the cabbage and collard greens blend. Very good. Had some Cajun fries. They were delicious. Food came out hot. Will definitely be returning.“

“Visited Downtown Tabby’s for the first time, on this last Tuesday evening for Taco Tuesday w/ my Ma! Atmosphere was decent, cozy. Our food was very flavorful, & my Ma enjoyed the taco bowl & the Tabberita, which both appear to be very popular within the customers. I did enjoy my shrimp tacos as well! The service from the bar tenders was pretty decent, majority of them were customer friendly & they at least tried to be attentive to everyone, even when business picked up. Miss Tabby appeared very busy but she was very smiley in passing. More Hiphop music vibes, although I am a slower R&B person, it does keeps an upbeat atmosphere. The crowd appears to have a younger attraction, 20- younger 40s, yet we experienced no issues. We plan to return to try different menu items on different evenings in hoping to have similar experience.“

“We came from va and came upon this little place on a Friday night. We enjoyed so much we came back to watch a game on Sunday. Stephanie was a super bartender. Friendly and professional. Would definitely come here again. Was great service Friday night also.“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“Went to watch the Buckeyes game while we were in town. They were busy and super efficient. The food was excellent but we were even more impressed with their staff. The atmosphere was great, a DJ played music during commercials. Their Tino's BBQ sauce was great- Just the right amount of heat.“

“Bartenders were great, food was good. Will be back“

“A friend and I stopped here for dinner before Impact Wrestling's TV tapings. They were able to find us a seat despite a festival of some kind going on, our food was ready very quickly, and it was both delicious and fairly priced!“

“Hydeout Kitchen & Bar offers a welcoming and modern ambiance that complements its simple yet satisfying menu. I ordered the Smash Burger with Hydeout Fries, which came perfectly cooked to my specifications—no pickles, onions, or tomatoes. The burger was juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of crisp lettuce, all housed in a soft, fresh bun. The fries were a standout, boasting a golden, crispy exterior with a fluffy inside, served with a side of savory dipping sauce.

The place itself has a sleek, contemporary feel, lit by soft, inviting lights, making it an ideal spot for a casual dinner or drinks with friends. Although I didn’t explore the entire menu, what I experienced was enough to make me want to return.

Don’t forget to check out the photos I’ve uploaded for a glimpse of what to expect at Hydeout. And remember, follow me here on Google Maps for more reviews, and catch more of my dining adventures on Instagram @Riguinlo!“

“Had a great dinner before the Penguins and Blue Jacket game. The staff all hustled and the food was good, but when we got back to our hotel after the game we realized we left our toddlers blanket. Donovan stayed an extra 20 minutes after closing to wait for us!!! Seriously thank you so much!! Top notch service!!“

“the food was amazing I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. my server was awsome“

“Tony and his team are EXCELLENT! All the warmth and friendliness that you'd expect in a "hometown" bar. Food is delicious. Staff is friendly and prompt with service. Pool tables are solid. The regulars are incredible. Hubby and I had such a good time! Can't wait to come back!“

“Great place to go. Good food and always friendly awesome service. They even remember my name when I come in.“

“Went to the Sunday Brunch and it was awesome. Rene the Bartender was very nice and efficient. The manger checked on us twice. Had the Coldest beer in town after. I recommend it.“

“Sometimes familiar, low key and not pricy are just what I'm looking for. It's not going to knock your socks off but if i want to go somewhere and just relax, this is a great place. This is really about a 4.5 stars for me but in honor of too many nights spent here, i'll give it 5 stars.“

“Truly enjoy any day of the week I can go. Staff is upbeat, friendly. Nice portions of food for your $$$$$. Music always has everyone dancing“

“Randy was our bartender yesterday for dsy drinking. Had a great time!!!“

“I loved preforming there with Montana of 300 on May 6th 2023“

“Decided to try another tavern spot since the main spots I wanted to try were closed.

Asked the waiter for recommendations and she gave me a blackberry rhubarb lemonade vodka, a soup of the week which was a light cheesy broccoli soup, and a sweet sugary bacon burger that hit the spot!

The drink had a little fizz and was a nice way to get a little buzz at 2pm.

The soup was actually quite lovely! I feel like I could’ve had a full portion and feel absolutely rejuvenated for the rest of my day.

The burger was pretty good! I’m not a huge bacon in my burger person but the sweetens of the bacon paired really well with the Swiss cheese burger. Having chips and salsa instead of fries as the side was also interesting and added another layer to my taste buds.

Service was a bit slow, especially since the place was mostly empty - but I think in a way this comes with the charm of the place. I wonder how it would change if the place was completely packed - and it definitely has the space and TV screens to make that a reality!

Definitely want to try some other things next time I come!“

“Amazing place! Great customer service. The staff works hard and the place is very clean! I look forward to coming back!“

“I don't live nearby, but I have seen Hey Heys quite a few times as I drive through German Village. I've not had the chance to stop in, but last Friday gave me the opportunity. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and local patrons. Prices were reasonable. It was a great experience. I look forward to visiting again.“

“Laid back atmosphere. Enclosed, ‘outdoor’ seating (smoking). Lot’s of room.“

“I am a man of honesty, integrity, and reliability. With that being said, PJ’s blew my mind and exceeded my expectations. Most would call me the Gordon Ramsay of food reviews due to my brutal honesty. People who say bad luck isn’t real have never met me before. From getting my cornea torn, getting laced with laxatives, getting bit by a raccoon, and experiencing much more, my food reviewing journey has been devastating.PJ’s hit the nail on the head with the richness I seek when reviewing food. The atmosphere at PJ's is simply perfect. Leaving this place with explosive diarrhea, but satisfied taste buds met my expectations. Anyone who claims this place is overrated is probably on a strict nut diet and can’t appreciate food that holds true meaning.“

“Huge Patio Private Event Rooms“

“Great service and even better food!“

“Love the staff and how friendly they are“

“The staff is extremely friendly but the chicken and fries didn't have any seasoning, and the blue cheese was generic tasting. My drink was decent but not enough to purchase a second one. I really wanted a second drink but I didn't want to waste my money.“

“Rehab Tavern in Columbus is just an awesome spot to kick back and have a good time. The vibe hits right as soon as you walk in – it’s cozy, chill, and has this cool mix of old-school charm with a modern feel. The staff is super friendly, too; they make you feel right at home and are always happy to help with drink recommendations or just chat for a bit.

Speaking of drinks, they’ve got a fantastic selection! From craft beers to unique cocktails, there’s something for everyone, and the bartenders seriously know their stuff. Plus, the live music nights are a blast. They bring in some great local talent, and it really adds a fun, energetic feel to the place.

Overall, Rehab Tavern is just a great, laid-back spot to hang with friends or meet new people. It’s the kind of bar that makes you want to come back, whether you're from around here or just in town for a visit. If you're looking for a place with good drinks, good vibes, and a friendly crowd, this is it!“

“i really want to visit one day because of the disappearance of brian shaffer i'm hooked. place center of great theories and mysteries.... the question that does not want to remain silent: where is brian shaffer? anyway, it seems like a good place to have fun. hugs from Brazil :)“

“Best grand opening I've ever been to. The food was amazing, the service too notch, and the atmosphere so fun. I know it won't be a grand opening every night but if you get half as good of an experience that I got you will be so happy.“

“Had such a fun time with the hubby here! Fun atmosphere, the girls were so pretty and had some amazing tricks! I loved Lexi, she was sooo gorgeous & nice! I loved the dancer who asked if it was okay to touch my hubby, even tho of course I didn't care. It was very considerate! Hubby paid 10 for his entry fee but mine was free so that was a nice surprise. Would give a 5 star if they had some more drink selections! For our first all nude experience I was Definitely nervous but it was a great time ?“

“Staff is kind (above&beyond), food tastes great, and a place where you can have a birthday section or just a drink at the bar to watch the game. If you get a section, you can order bottles & food from the menu. My cons would be: Regular drinks will have to be ordered at the bar. Clearing drinks or food in our section wasn't available. I didn't mind clearing, but there wasn't a place to take our plates. There's a trash can by the exit for cups. If you do plan to get a section, make sure to have enough room for your party comfortably. If you dont have enough seating, there may be open seating at the bar for your overflow guest. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go again.“

“Place was clean and good decor. Two pool tables. Had the J*** Cuban. Enjoyed the sandwich but could taste grease in fries. No Keno but they are in the process of obtaining the rights. A person doesn't live on alcohol alone. Friendly bartender and attentive to the point i had to say "I'm good". Lol. Keep in mind this was a Monday evening. Wasn't very busy.“

“The server we had was incredible. His name was Jason and he made our experience at the restaurant/bar very enjoyable. The place was pretty busy and he was only server behind bar as well as waiting tables and running food to customers. He was so pleasant and genuine and didn't appear to be frazzled or stressed at all about being pulled in many different directions.
The food was also very good. The burgers to salads and dessert were excellent.

I also spoke with a supervisor on the phone by the name of Megan who was lovely.
It is refreshing to encounter people who are so kind actually care.
Highly recommend.“

“We threw a surprise party for 2 of our favorite people at Oties, in their Event Room. It was absolutely AMAZING! The room was so lovey and the food was great and came out quickly from the kitchen. We had such a wonderful time and the staff was very nice and helpful. Truly a great experience! We still have friends talking about what a wonderful time it was.“

“Was there for bike week 2023. Had best time of my life that week and spent every nite at Spankys!! Food was good had no dis respect whatsoever! I had a time I won’t forget!! I actually partied pretty hard and got home safe every nite and actually moving there from Ky and will definitely visit again!! Bartenders was great! As well“
