We ordered from Rich our very first time last Saturday. Tonight it’s Saturday and we are ordering again! Everything he cooks is awesome, seriously. Fresh ingredients, excellent wings, and the gyro was awesome too. If you haven’t checked out this place yet, you need to immediately or be a nerdler and eat a PB&J at home.

I am a repeat customer. Food is good. There has been a few times he was short staffed like most other places. But, the this last time I put in an order online order just for a Chicken Sandwich with sauce & Diet Coke. I arrived and has not started my order. I came back in 20 minutes . Order was done. Gave me my sandwich. Said sorry and walked away. Forgot my drink and sauce. I patiently waited until he came back. Asked for the drink. I didn’t want to ask him for the sauce to stress him out even more. 40 minutes for a chicken sandwich, did not get my order right. Not the best customer service for a carry out place like some of the other reviews mentioned. But, if you just want good food, go for it.

Everything is cooked with great care from fresh ingredients. Seriously, you can't go wrong with any choice.

Been here 3 times now and it was great each time. I even stole the idea of wonton wrapped cheese sticks at home.

The Mac Daddy is still the best burger I've ever had in the area. Chef Rich takes a lot of pride in the quality of his food and it shows

If you're looking for diner food that is delicious and affordable, stop in and see chef Rich. He was able to take care of my numerous food sensitivities and I ordered a well portioned Greek salad minus the tomatoes and hot peppers with some bonus celery. Not to mention, fries that taste like fair fries minus the grease! Score! I'm in love with the wonton wrapped Angus beef hotdog (sorry babe). It's crispy outside and flavorful inside was sooo delicious... I could probably eat three for dinner and be fully satisfied (I guess next time I'll pretend I have three kids to score this meal) Word on the street is that the Mac daddy burger isn't too spicy and is heaping with a generous amount of mac & cheese and onion straws on top (check out the photo) and is a good late night fix. I can personally attest that the flavor of the jasmine rice is top notch, and it came with Greek dressing and sprinkles of onions and tomatoes on the side. Overall, this tiny spot is a great value and so delicious. Skip those chain stores and support local (you can tell by the grin on Rich his face he'd appreciate it). I know I'll definitely be back!

The Ruben Egg roll or the ghost pepper Mac egg roll? The PB&J burger or their new BBB burger? Salty fresh cut fries or the spicy feta chips? Clearly there are so many amazing choices that it can be hard to pick. Sadly most of the options do not last long enough for me to photograph. The Reuben roll came with a classic thousand island sauce. Appreciated being able to order just one. The BBB was thick cut bacon, Smokey brisket and a tender burger. Looking forward to trying other options next time.

I ordered the Triple B burger, medium rare. I got a hockey puck that was burnt looking and tasting, as well as nice and dry. Not what I expected after hearing all of the rave reviews. Also not worth the $14 and change. If I hadn't gone all of the way home (and home isn't close) I would have returned to ask for a do-over. Forgot the blue cheese dressing with my wings as well, so not a good first impression.

I am so sad to make this review. After going here multiple times and seeing a staff shortage- I have finally figured out why there is a staff shortage- the owner. I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but my experience last night was so uncomfortable I will not be returning. Chef Rich’s interaction with his staff was abhorrent and cringe worthy. He was rude and degrading. And it didn’t stop at just the staff, Chef Rich told me that the food I had ordered was sold out and to pick something else, and I was trying to be helpful and said- “whatever you have that’s easy and ready” and he just smirked. I am all for supporting veterans and small businesses- but not in a place that treats its staff and customers this way. I hope this review might give the owner pause and make him reevaluate how he treats his staff.
When I saw thie pics on Facebook of the wings we were excited to have the wings. Unfortunately they appeared nothing like the wings posted. Ours were almost well done. I contacted the business and the reply was that is how the wings come out. We had other issues with our order but we are working through that and I appreciate the prompt communication. My first time experience at this restaurant and I hope for business success.

5 stars on the food! Honestly best wings I’ve ever had. Burgers are top notch. Also love the ghost pepper brisket egg rolls. Chef Rich, you gotta help me out though with the hours, I’ve been trying to get your food for a couple weeks but by the time I get home (late) and get the kids to bed your closed (actually called at 8:45 tonight without luck). Thoughts on staying open later, maybe 9:30 or 10 on the weekends?

Either the reviews are exaggerated or we went on a bad day. These are spicy garlic wings. All of our food was burnt/ overcooked. Upon biting into my wings I discovered they were undercooked and pink on the inside. Maybe their grease was too hot.also got the Buffalo chicken wrap which was also over cooked, dry, and nasty. The fries were good though.

We recently moved to Westerville and wanted some take out so decided to try Chef Rich's the other night. We got an order of the cheese sticks. Unique preparation that we hadn't seen before. Instead of being breaded, they were wrapped in a seasoned eggroll wrapper and deep fried. Awesome! Also really liked the freshly made marinara sauce that came with them. My daughter had the chicken nuggets and loved them. They weren't the pre-frozen, pre-battered kind but freshly battered and fried. Very tasty. I've been craving wings so got a ten piece plain with bbq and garlic parmesan sauces on the side. The wings were nice and crispy and both dipping sauces were delicious...the garlic parmesan has a bit of a kick. Husband got a burger with fixings and the hand cut fries which we shared. They disappeared immediately. The only low note was my husband's burger. He said it had a slightly burned greasy taste like it had been cooked on a grill that needed cleaning. Of course he only mentioned this after he had eaten all of it or I would have taken it back. Overall, very pleased and definitely will go back soon.

Pretty lackluster place. For the prices you would expect a little better out of everything. The food is not bad at all, but both times I've gone I was expecting a little better quality and it never is that great. Either increase the quality/clean the product up or quantity of the food to match the prices.
Very racist & the food taste like ?
