“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!“

“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.“

I just ordered dinner again for this evening and I’m looking forward to it already!
The Lo Mein was not dry at all. Not bursting with flavor but definitely good.“

We don’t get to visit often as it’s a bit of a drive, but are so grateful to have Portia’s when we have some extra time. Portia herself is quite an amazing person. I think she’s just a doll 🤗“

“Wow! Been vegan for almost 15 years now, with an 11-year-old who has been vegan all his life, & fiancé who has been vegan 4 years now - and this was some of the most delicious mac & cheese we have ever had! All three of us ordered a different sandwich and they were all phenomenal - the buffalo chik'n special, spicy bak'n burger special, and the regular chik'n sandwich. They all came with perfectly seasoned, hot, and crispy fries. Staff was also incredibly friendly & personable. An all-around great place! We will definitely return! Highly recommended. 🫶🌱“

“the staff here is amazing! we came for the Lei’d Back tiki event and the staff was so accommodating and helpful every step of the way. it was such a fun event and nicely organized. we felt like true VIPs! i will definitely be back for more themed events!!“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“

“Visited Columbus for the first time and stumbled into an amazing restaurant that truly sets the bar for what ethos restaurants should operate from- no seed oils, quality water and everything cooked in beef tallow. For a health conscious restaurant their prices are beyond reasonable with something on the menu for anyone who’s looking to expand their horizons of healthy eating.

Our server Katie was exceptional- so so kind, knowledgeable about the menu and carried a smile on her face the entire service. The GM even made it a point to comp our wellness shots we ordered since we were visiting. Truly made our experience! Thank you katie! ❤“

“the atmosphere is nice they have several locations and the staff is always friendly“

“I’m not from the area but I found out about Wario’s on TikTok. I have been to Wario’s twice now. The chicken cesar cutlet is AMAZING! The spuds and chicken parm is also amazing! My husband ordered the Philly and loved it. I highly recommend Wario’s. I wish there was one closer to where we are from! We will just have to make the 3 hour trip again 😂“

“Consider asking for the carmel sauce on the side of the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. It was just a little too sweet for me. Fantastic, friendly service and we could see the food was prepared by a kitchen that cooks with pride and pays attention to the details. Very reasonable pricing!“

“Absolutely Delicious! The Best Shrimp Scampi Ever! I modified the dish to have it with linguini instead of the orzo...So Good!!! Our server, Kennedy...and friends, were a delight to be with! I even celebrated my Birthday with them! Thanks again 101 Craft Kitchen! Do Visit and Eat!“

“Our first experience at Tommy’s Diner was fantastic! The food was delicious & the service was exceptional. The country fried steak was very flavorful and the cinnamon roll was to die for. We will definitely be returning! 😻“

Ice cold beverages and our service (Bartender) was Awesome catering to our every whim. This is definitely a MUST stop when looking for a Great place to dine!!“
