“Great staff, always friendly. Best patio in Westerville.”

“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.”

“Great place!!! BUT REALLY MISS THEM OPENING AT 1 AM !! I’m sure a lot of people feel the same”

“LOVE First Watch restaurants and this one did not disappoint. No wait today which was perfect. A little noisy with the music but as people left, the volume reduced a bit. The Trifecta with Lemon Ricotta pancakes was delicious as per usual. So was the Kale Tonic. My friend loved her Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon. We both love how they bring coffee out and leave a coffee carafe at the table. Also plenty of extra napkins without having to ask. Server was genuinely cheery and uplifting. As we dined, she checked in, but not unnecessarily. It was just a terrific experience all the way around, especially once the sound dropped just a bit.”

“My 25 year old son went into Chicken Salad Chick for the first time today. He had such a great experience. He said that the women were so nice, friendly and helpful and he left with a smile on his face😀 He raved about his selections. Well done Chicken Salad Chick! You have a new #1 fan🙌🏻”

“Honestly the best cookies ever !! My favorite is definitely the pink sugar cookie even though it’s basic lol. It’s always moist !!! And the cookies are huge!”

“The best gelato I have had! Great atmosphere and always so friendly.”

“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. 🫶🌱”

“There is no dine-in, carry-out only. Dinner and dessert pies 🥧. Store is clean and roomy. I recommend ordering your pies in advance, but they do have a good selection for walk-in customers. Friendly staff and pies to die for.”

“My husband and I stopped in yesterday for lunch and was able to see all of the Smashburger workers band together and fill a to-go order for 196 people. They did an amazing job. Would 100% recommend Westerville Smashburger.....with these people, you won't be disappointed! 😊”

“Tried for the first time today! Absolutely love this place!!! Great food! Great atmosphere! A place to bring your family to have breakfast, play board games or just escape from the daily work grind! I also picked up some food for my office staff and they enjoyed the bagels and cinnamon rolls! My personal favorite was the Strawberries & Cream Latte! We will be back! Next time I’ll be bringing my family!!”

“Delicious pasta! I ordered the carsonies pasta and an extra meatball. This was my first time ordering here and think meatballs and sauce really tell a lot about how good the meal will be. Also got the chicken carsonies. I would suggest more white sauce and better service”

“I love this place. The people who work here make you feel at home immediately. From Terra to Kyle to Veronica, and my boy Brent! Having the pizza truck outside the back entrance is genius. Everything I've eaten at Antonio's has been delicious. This is my new favorite place and it feels like home already”

“Best chicken in Columbus. Texture, flavor, out of this world. 10/10 must try”

“I stopped in earlier this week for the very first time. I thought parking would be an issue but found a spot easily. The staff were very friendly and happily made some recommendations and those recommendations were delicious! Will definitely return!!”

“I wanted to try a new pizza joint and Brenz had good reviews on Uber Eats so I tried it and the reviewers did not steer me wrong! Except they forgot some of my order. The pizza was great, the bread sides were ok. The Heritage Hot Honey- a MUST try!!!! Top 3 pizza's I ever tasted. I was worried it would be too spicy because I am a whoosie but it was not. Portion sizes are great also. Just wish my full order arrived.”

“Great food and the employees are awesome! You need to try the Zaks sweet meat pizza!”

“Coffee and desserts are delicious and it's a beautiful place to enjoy sipping your drink!”

“The onion rings and bbq chicken nachos were great. The french fries were so hard they wouldn't bend. They took them off the bill. We saw a lot of plates as we were leaving with all their french fries left on them. Burger were good.”

“This is my favorite location!
Always excellent food...wonderful service and spotless.
You can enjoy a seat at the bar if eating alone.
I noticed they have a drive thru as well.”

“The BEST pierogies we've ever had! They are so big and the price you pay for them is very reasonable for the size. Paired with the garlic dill sour cream - chefs kiss. Liz is so kind, sweet, and humble & it feels so homey when you walk in and see her husband and children working as a team with her. I eye her insta page weekly to see what kind of goodies shes cookin up.”

“These guys are awesome. We arrived after they had closed but they still made us tacos. And they were delicious. We were from NY on our way to Moab Utah with our Jeep and they made us feel very welcome!”

“My 4 and 6yo granddaughters wanted me to give a good review because they so enjoyed breakfast and thought our waitress was incredible (she was very attentive and kind to this grandma a baby and his sisters out for Sunday breakfast)”

“We were staying in Columbus for a few days and I happened upon this little gem. Had a lemon whittie on Wednesday afternoon, another one on Thursday evening and a s’mores whittie Friday morning for breakfast. I have no regrets. If I’m ever in this area again I will most definitely swing by for the best ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever enjoyed! Top notch!”

“First time take away order from GAR. My family and I loved it! Excellent Pad Thai and Mala Green Beans. Also loved the mini spring rolls and the house hot mustard dipping sauce with it. Its way better than those little packets of hot mustard usually given. Quick service, affordable pricing, great menu variety and very clean looking establishment. I will be calling them again soon, 5/5 stars!”

“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 🤷‍♀️”

“Great service - great food! Hot and fresh!”

“We had a pizza party with 17 difference pizzas and Cardinals was voted the best pizza! Pizza came from all over central Ohio. Figured I would leave this review so everyone knows that it’s just that good!”

“Finally, after wanting to try this place for a couple years. They have way better hours than the first time I saw this place. I got a sandwich today. Pulled pork with jalapeno sauce. It was pretty good. Portion was sized right. It beats the hell out of any other nearby fast food. So right now, I recommend Ray Ray's Hog Pit. I will be back soon for the Meat Sweats so I can try the rest of the menu. Thanks. ✌️”

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

“Great spot with good vibes”

“Hannah peer is amazing! Best server ever”

“Some of the best freshly-made breads you can buy are here. Stellar sourdough too.

Staff are always friendly and helpful.

We are glad Great Harvest was resurrected in Westerville!”

“We just had the best beet salads with amazing dressing. You can’t go wrong adding the smoked salmon or prosciutto. Absolutely amazing!!”

“Great patio ! Local entertainment … @danorr”

“Great service great attitude!”

“delivery in NC coast awesome pizza grew up with Massey pizza”

“Our first time eating here, we enjoyed our meals and the ser ice was very good. Our server Preston was very nice and recommended to my wife to order from kids menu to get a single patty burger, it was still a pretty big burger. The fries were fresh hot and many, I had the tots, they were OK but I liked the fries better. Fish and chips very good, a large piece of breaded fish well seasoned. Over all I would give them a very good rating.”

“So glad to find this place. The pizza is excellent. I love the crust. Based on reviews I asked for extra sauce ( I love sauce more than cheese) and my pizza was perfect. Pepperoni mushroom with extra sauce all day every day for me!”

“The food is delicious and the customer service is probably one of the best I’ve experienced.”

“We were so impressed with our eggless mixed fruit cake! Before the wedding, I asked if we could do a tasting, and she went above and beyond by custom-making a cake with two different flavors for us to try before we made our final decision.

The wedding cake was absolutely amazing. It was incredibly moist, fresh, and full of delicious fruit flavor. Everyone at our wedding loved it and could not stop talking about how wonderful it was. She truly delivered, and the cake exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this bakery!”

“The people are even sweeter than the drinks! Highly recommend this shop!! 🍓🤍”

“We have been to Double Barrel several times and it never disappoints. My BF loves the Korean wings while my favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich. Sky has been our server the past couple times we’ve been there and she is the best! Very attentive and friendly. Our only minor complaint was the volume of the live music. It’s nice to have live music but not at the level where you need to shout to the people you are eating with and the server. We will definitely be back but may avoid live music nights and just stick to football games.”

“Great experience! Friendly service and good recommendations! Will return!”

“The California Burrito is great!”

“Amazing peanut butter and marshmallow flavours”

“SUPER, GREAT, AWESOME and AMAZING! I could go on. My lunch is at the front desk of my work in no time and the order is ALWAYS right. The guy who usually delivers lunch to us is just so FRIENDLY and KIND! Always look forward to seeing him as well as our food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Jimmy Johns.”

“This is my go to Mexican restaurant. Veronica and Carlos are always happy to see us. My wife and I come in several times a week and we usually bring friends or family with us. Because we can always count on a Good time, Great food, Excellent service and a cozy place to hang out. Portion size is always great. They will make your order to your liking just ask, they are very accommodating. Food is served hot and fast. Great bang for your buck ! Check it out”

“My wife, daughter and I ordered food from Dave’s. It was phenomenal. The top loaded fries with Dave’s bites are great.”

“Great value for the money. For $35 or so, you can eat dinner and have enough leftovers to feed your family 2 more meals. The food is very tasty and is served quick. There's no atmosphere to speak of, but the restaurant is clean and relatively quiet for a Chinese take out location. This is my go to place for Asian food on a budget.”

“Great place Ben a few yrs”

“I came to the bar for a quick
Drink and a bite at 5pm on April 29. There was a short waitress that literally waited on a Table 4 feet from me and totally IGNORED me. I found Out that I shouldn’t have Sat myself Down but She could have Come To me And said ‘I will get Your waitress For you’, instead she STARED at me and walked away. I flagged her down AGAIN and asked for a glass
Of wine. 10-15 minutes later…. NADA. I tried flagging Her Down Again and She looked at me and walked away. Her name is something like Aigen. Manager and other staff were VERY NICE. Food is great.
She could have handled the whole thing differently, with respect and decent manners and explained To me that my table wasn’t hers, but she would get someone to help me, and
Instead she ignored me. ‘Alex’ waited on me and he was very NICE.
AGAIN, NO ISSUES WITH THE OTHER STAFF, FOOD, etc., just with this one RUDE waitress.”

“Went with wife and grandkids. Very nice place. Waiters were very nice and helpful. Some of best Chinese food I’ve had. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Good drinks. Plus Leslie puts out”

“Love this new location! The owners are very nice and kind! The staff is fabulous and the chicken salad phenomenal! They opened a little over a week ago and I’ve gone three times including midnight for the grand opening, met some really nice people waiting in line for that. So if you’re hungry for something other than the usual burger and fries, definitely check this place out, they have 12 flavors of chicken salad made fresh daily, either a sandwich or with crackers you can’t go wrong. Located at 4345 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Shoppes at River Ridge.”

“A great family owned business. Amazing food & extremely welcoming staff.”

“Just like I’m on the streets of San Salvador! I love pupusas. Hot fresh and perfect. The cabbage and the hot salsa. I’m in love. I’m in love. I’m in love.”

“Mobile ordered a cookie mocha drink and it was sitting on the counter before I got through the door. Staff actually said hi instead of just sliding it across. Easy stop.”

“Fantastic food all around! It was easily the most tender chicken I've ever had. Absolutely delicious!”

“First time trying this. I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and got a new dish, I tried the black pepper beef and it was absolutely fantastic. I ordered for pickup and it was ready within minutes. The owners are so very sweet and the price for a lunch portion was extremely reasonable. I will definitely be coming back soon”

“Our waitress Hannah was so friendly and personable. We really enjoyed our visit. The food, drinks, and service were exceptional!! Highly recommended!!”

“Hired last minute and it was incredible! Will definitely be hiring again :)”

“Review is not a recommendation-just our experience. Waiter was friendly. Food was decent but not hot. We were there for Sunday brunch-not many customers so not sure why our food wasn’t hot. Our main concern was the cleanliness. The pictures on the wall had a lot of dirt and food splatters that seem to have been there a while. Perhaps a monthly deep clean would help. (Floor and tables were clean) It wasn’t the experience I read about on their website though.”

“Sue at Le Gateau is absolutely phenomenal at making and designing wedding cakes. She incorporated our style and suggestions into the design and it was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She is a true professional who takes pride in her work, understands the importance of quality and ensures that every last detail is perfect and delicious. I am so thankful that my friend, who hired Sue for her wedding, recommended her business to us. For our wedding cake, it served 230 people (4 tiers) with Italian cream cake with strawberry filling, orange cake with chocolate ganache filling, and chocolate cake with raspberry filling covered in iced buttercream frosting...might I add, all made from SCRATCH. We received so many compliments from our guests about how excellent our cake was!”

“Love this restaurant!! Must try!”

“Classics Sports Bar is an excellent spot to hang out with friends, grab a beer, and catch a game in a vibrant atmosphere. For those visiting from outside the United States, it offers a unique and authentic experience to see what a typical American sports bar is all about. Between the high-energy environment and the genuine local feel, it is the perfect destination for anyone looking to enjoy great entertainment and experience the culture firsthand.”

“Not from Columbus but every time I go there I try to stop in at Anges pizza Polaris. I have tried almost everything on the menu and I haven't had any complaints, the customer service is also great.”

“Great experience with Maddie. Highly recommend this place. 10/10”

“Had a pleasant and welcoming experience from DairyQueen yesterday, the worker had a nice braid in and was very friendly and helped me put deals in the app, not to mention my food was good too!”

“Pretty good sandwich shop. Expensive for sandwiches. Service is ok. A little slow at times but it's like a subway where everything is made to order. The atmosphere is ok. Tables inside and out.”

“I made the bestest friends ever they danced with me. After a long 17 hour shift I wanted some waffle house, but little did I know it was a waffle home.”

“My husband and I had a late lunch at the Westerville location and the food was wonderful. Also our food was served by Sam who did an excellent job taking care of us! We will be back.”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”

“This is a great Subway! The employees are very polite, the location is always clean and tidy, and the food is amazing and tastes fresh! I always order from this Subway, it’s the best.”

“Great place to come if you’re looking cakes— I get one every year for my kids birthdays and they love it! Full of ice cream and toppings, you can either pick one pre built or customize one yourself!”

“Standing here now in a wild lunch rush and I had to commend the entire team on how well they are working together and communicating the massive rush of orders while they are managing 13 sandwiches at a time and getting every order done promptly and correct to a T. Bravo, love this location.”

“Great neighborhood restaurant! Food is good and staff is friendly!”

“Thank you to Tim Horton's Westerville location for your generosity in providing some hot coffee to keep us warm while we decorated the house of a person in need. Your team's willingness to help out in small ways is appreciated beyond our words of thanks today.”

“I needed a last-minute gluten-free cake at the end of the day, and I was not disappointed! The employee behind the counter was extremely friendly and efficient. She iced the cake in five minutes.

I chose the lemon raspberry gluten-free cake… DELICIOUS. Everyone at the party loved it and commented that you would never guess it’s gluten-free. The cake was beautiful, the flavors were so bright, and the icing was deceivingly light and very tasty.
I will definitely be coming back for my next gluten-free cake!”

“Haven’t stopped in here in a bit, just on a whim I came in for an early dinner. I got myself something for dine in and a to go order as well. The staff is very friendly, quite attentive. I devoured my appetiser. I got myself an order of orange chicken( I’m a basic white girl I can’t help myself) and my word it is delicious. You can tell the chef loves their craft. The price cannot be beat either! If you’re in the Polaris/westerville area and looking for quick, cheap, delicious food- you gotta come here.”

“Very clean, exceptionally hospitable staff, Food as ordered. It’s been a long time that I have had fast food and been asked how everything was and if we needed anything. Kudos”

“I normally always go to new China express across the street- she's closed for a week. Ming doesn't have great reviews but I decided to try them anyway. Same exact order instead of 30 was 39. Ming wins the beef and broccoli hands down. Better flavor bigger portion. Winner. Ming egg roll and China egg roll tie, both ok neither great. Chicken wings were good- another tie. If I had to choose one or would be new China but not by much. Lastly the veggie fried rice- ming had better flavor but new china had way more veggies. Overall slight nod on food to ming, nod on Portion to ming. But costing 30 percent more. Value versus quality. I'll probably eat ming fairly often but always know it comes at a cost. The decor and interior were beautiful. The waiter was very friendly. Extensive menu with every option you could want.”

“Good food, great service, a little pricey.”

“Never crowded. Always clean. Drive through is fast. Always gets the order right. Easy access. No traffic issues.”

“So good! Caramel crunch frappe chino!”

“A minor mistake was made. Grace took care of the issue, made it right. Great customer service. Very friendly and helpful. Shocked because I got treated really well as if I was spending a huge amount of money. Customer service was class act, which is very unusual now a days. Thanks for the care.”
