“When there is a wait, it takes a while but if you’ve ever had their food, you understand why. Their items are superb and every single thing I’ve had from Ray Ray’s is top notch! They do brisket and pork correctly. Their take on Chicken is great too, especially if you like spicy.“
“This was the absolute best wedding cake we have ever had. Cake was so moist, fruit filling was the perfect accompaniment and the icing was not overpowering with sweetness. The cake was stunningly gorgeous! If I could give a 100 star review I would! Marie was incredible to work with, patient kind and understanding!“
“If you are a FOODIE and have been wanting Birria tacos, you have to come here! I drove two hours to get these tacos because I've been wanting Birria bad and they were worth the drive. Crispy shell, rich beef flavor, fresh onions and cilantro and the consomme is on point. Every bite was tasty, not bland like other places in Ohio, you can actually taste the spices. This is Authentic Tijauana style red Birria tacos like you see with food bloggers on IG. The staff was super friendly. The best days to go are Thurs-Sat when the Birria is available all day. Get there early because they sell out fast.“
“Portia’s is the best, period. Not only is their food delicious and healthy, but the atmosphere is amazing too. You can tell how much love and care is put into this restaurant. From the effort they make in being eco-friendly and supporting other local businesses to how happy and friendly the staff is. You can tell the owner treats her employees well. All of these things together creates a dining experience unlike any other. You can go to Portia’s and feel completely good inside and out about the food you ate and supporting such a wonderful business. I like to try something new every time I go and everything is amazing, but I LOVE the waffles. Being vegan, I hadn’t had waffles in quite some time before I moved to Columbus and found Portia’s. Love everything about this place.Vegetarian options: All options are vegan (therefore also vegetarian)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and veganParking: Parking in front, sides, and back of the building.“
“We came on an extremely busy night (St. Patrick’s Day weekend and during Ramadan) and the place was packed. We had a large group of 7 and the chef and staff went out of their way to get us seated, pushing tables together and checking on us multiple times to make sure we were comfortable. They all had smiles on their faces and were genuinely helpful. The food came out SO quickly, we barely had to wait. Everyone’s meals were delicious, and the hummus was divine. ? Highly recommend!“
“The food here is fantastic! It's homemade and served quickly. We've tried appetizers, entrees, and desserts, and everything is delicious. While my favorite is the grape leaves, you can't go wrong with a gyro or a piece of baklava. This family-owned restaurant is definitely a favorite spot!“
“My wife & I had an amazing evening at EBC. The atmosphere was fantastic. They had a small band playing, and the sound wasn't overbearing the way some bands can be. They had a food truck serving guests just outside their AMAZING patio area.Patio area is a whole nother level, with an AMAZING skyline view of downtown Columbus! We were lucky enough to have a clear view of a beautiful sunset.The brews we sampled were delicious, and the cocktail & bourbon options were plentiful. Service staff was very knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly.We will definitely return when in the area.“
“Our Non-Profit organization held a fundraiser and reception for a visiting author. We chose Mozart's due to our years long appreciation of the food and service. Anand worked with our group to provide a wonderful atmosphere for our event. The staff were attentive and very professional in their assistance. The food was delicous and enjoyed by all the attendees. It was the perfect place and we had a wonderful time.“
“My boyfriend and I went here for our first time for their St. Patrick’s Day party. We decided to get food from the Chef Shack food truck they have there. All the food was delicious! The bartender was super nice and personable, and made great drinks. And he was very efficient as well. Never had to wait to get another drink, even though they got fairly busy. I had the Bloody Mary bar which I loved. Great topping choices and I like that I can create it myself to my liking. They have many great drink choices. Even the patrons there were all very nice! I liked the atmosphere and they also had a live band that day as well as some Irish dancers. Their outside are looked nice as well, but it was too chilly to stay out there and enjoy it this time. Even though it is about 20 minutes from home, I was very impressed and we will definitely be going back!“
“We chose to hire Seventh Son's sunroom for our wedding. Best decision ever. Monica was a delight to work with and everything was so relaxed and easy from day one. Our wedding day was perfect. The space looked amazing, the drinks were fabulous and the bar staff were simply outstanding.Highly recommend this place for events, or even just a great, chilled location for a beer if you're in the area.“

“The space is utilized nicely as a coffee shop and brewery. Very chill atmosphere and on warmer days there's a nice patio to relax on. Plenty of seating inside and service was great! They do have a small selection of scones, muffins, granola, etc. if you're peckish and the coffee was delicious but if you get hungry make sure to check out the food truck!!“
“Been coming here for years, this is one of my favorite locations to just grab a beer in Columbus. The atmosphere has always been chill (even when the place is full) and the staff are always friendly, helpful, and attentive.Beer and grub is solid if not standout, and they get new things on tap very regularly.I recommend the place!“
“Attention Vegans and non-Vegans! Try this place! You will not be disappointed. Just because you are not vegan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Fresh, fast and great flavors. I was blown away by this spot. Just wish it was closer to my house!Vegetarian options: All Vegan! But non vegans will enjoy?“
“Craving a delicious and unique breakfast? Look no further than Mordisco Food Truck's Venezuelan Breakfast Bowl! This dish packs a flavorful punch with scrambled eggs, your choice of shredded chicken or beef, and perfectly sweet plantains topped with cheese.The black beans add heartiness, and the avocado provides a creamy contrast. Don't forget the arepas – these crispy cornmeal flatbreads are the perfect base for scooping up all the goodness. Plus, the option for a spicy sauce on the side lets you customize your heat level. Overall, a fantastic way to start your day at Mordisco!“
“Chloe was awesome! It was definitely an excellent experience. Be prepared to spend some $$$$$.Forcing me to coat check my suit jacket and charging me for it is really stupid, though, especially after I wore it for the paid burlesque show before the open nightclub time.The chicken strips were awful.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there's an elevator.“
“Held my wife's birthday party at Heart State last week and it worked out perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout, and the buffet table was never empty/neglected. Turned a lot of newcomers on to HSB! Great spot for gatherings or just to hang.“
“This place was great!! Ethan was our server. Super friendly, and a very hard worker. Made sure we received the best quality food and service. My first time at Swensons after playing some top golf. Would recommend to anyone. Ask for Ethan :)“
“I ordered PB brownie cookies and RED velvet.Unlike regular ice cream, it had a soft texture, probably because it uses frozen custard, as the shop's name suggests.It's not too sweet and has a strong taste. It's fun to see the variety of flavors available daily and weekly.I will go again.“
“We’ve come to Global Gallery for a long time and have even played music here. (I have a band with my husband) but this time when we stopped we were so delighted with the 6oz cappuccino from Joe. He knew just how to make it in the traditional way that is sometimes unusual for a lot of coffee shops.It’s nice to see a good place continue grow and enjoy the growth of the quality of drinks too. So yummy! We will definitely go again when we’re even remotely nearby.I’ve also always loved the large outdoor seating area and cozy inside dining space full of eclectic art on display and for sale. Such a great local shop!“
“My review is only to give recognition to Ollie F. Great customer service ?????? He was Personal, Friendly, Nice, and the list could go on and on. He truly wanted to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. A real good employee. Rare in the fast food industry. Five stars ? for his Five star treatment. Thank you.“
“Enormous tap selection! I hope they turn all these over and the beer is fresh. I called down to the brewery to make sure my pool party was fresh and it was. Pool party is the best pills are in town. Bar none. Thick girl working the bar is about as cute as it gets too. “
“Atmosphere is very laid back. I came here looking for Blackbird Kitchen, thinking it was a restaurant, and was surprised to find that it’s the name of the food sold in the bar. So Blackbird Kitchen is not its own separate restaurant. You order food at the bar and they bring it to your table. Service was quick and the food was good overall. Parking was a bit confusing. Do not park in the parking lot before 6:30pm! You will need to find street parking, which was not hard. Outdoor seating area. They have live bands.Parking: Don’t park in the parking lot before 6:30pm. Free street parking down the side streets.“
“Read the reviews before choosing this spot to fix my son’s bike, and they told the truth! Brake lines took 10 minutes to fix, and we were not charged because of a technical difficulty on their end - fantastic customer service! The bill would have been WAY less than we anticipated anyway. Great service, great work, and a joy to to business with. We will be coming back!“
“Very tasty diner but very busy! If you go for weekend breakfast or brunch, expect there to be a 45 minute wait. Their pay counter is pretty disorganized and it can be annoying to have to wait for 5 tables to pay the cashier before you can pick up a carry out order. But the food is great! Their wake up burger is awesome!! Staff are nice, one waiter gave us leftover donuts at the end of the day!Parking: Their parking lot holds room for like 8 cars. Usually have to street park at breakfast time“
“This was our first time going to this establishment. We were a party of 4, with my husband in a wheelchair. We were greeted by CJ, most kind, wonderful individual with a great smile! Our server Sophia was very patient, kind and offered many wonderful food recommendations. Which I might add, we loved everything! If I could suggest one thing if you’re in the area, or just wanting some great tacos, nachos, guacamole, salsa, and chips this is the spot to go to! THANK YOU ALL!!Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area is kind of tight, but what I will say when we arrived there, CJ made every accommodation for my husband in a wheelchair to feel most comfortable.“
“I love this place. That being said, there was an odor we noticed that was a bit unpleasant. It was raining that evening so maybe the sewers were having an issue but the smell was not good. I think we adjusted to it because it seemed stronger when we first sat down and then we didn't really notice it after some time passed. The food/drinks were great and I always recommend this place.“
“First off, the establishment is very well kept, spotlessly cleaned, floor to ceiling and well decorated, etc. I did not eat, but the food looked amazing, and the specials I heard that day sounded fantastic. I was also impressed that the chef (maybe an owner? IDK) came out to speak w guests, ask how everything was, he welcomed them to the establishment. It was great to see. Bar service was good, beer selection was good. Everything was excellent, TBH. It was an older crowd and pretty quiet for a Sat night.“
“A group of 9 of us went to Spire Social recently to brew our own beer as part of a bachelor party. The owner Alex was awesome - he let us start early before the brewery opened and made sure we all had a drink before we got started. He provided a lot of instruction and explanation throughout the process which we all enjoyed. We all got to participate in the brewing and the bachelor was able to smell and select which types of hops we used. The process took about 3 hours so that gave us plenty of time to hang out and drink at the bar (good beer!). I would definitely recommend Spire Social to anyone who’s interested in brewing their own beer or just grabbing a drink!“
“A very nice eclectic spot in Clintonville. I don’t do many grass fed restaurants, but this one is very good, but their specialties are pizzas. I will go back. Very busy Friday night because of happy hour. Might be a good spot if you don’t want during buckeye game crowds since they only have one tv. Great service, Michelle the manager was attentive and provided great suggestions during my first visit. Rosie Burger, Fried Yardbird or Harvest Burger. We also got a take out order of their pasta!“
“I fell in love with this place from the moment I walked in the door!!!! Such a great vibe great staff and even better beer! My go to is The Father Figure “AKA Whose Your Daddy”! Oh and I just found out they have live Jazz on Thursdays!! I might be a lifer lol!!!! #Cheers“

“I had the munchies. Seven Little Sliders is a good food truck/cart.I have the Philly (Columbus style)Service - awesome - the dudes serving were having a good time Atmosphere - great - at a brewery and a charity event. What more to aske for?Food - star of the show, two sliders ~$5 a piece. Good tasteIf I see them in the wild, I will visit again“
“Amazing and friendly service/food! Since moving to Polaris, this place has been my go-to when I chose to eat out and there’s no doubt why. My boyfriend and I always get Garrett or Stephanie as our servers and they are nothing short of amazing at their jobs!“
“Hubby and I stopped at Endeavor Saturday shortly after they opened. It was only a ten minute walk from our hotel! Tried many of the beers and enjoyed just about all of them. Drinks looked fabulous, but it was too early for liquor. Bartender was super friendly and engaging. I recommend visiting this place. I know we will go back !“
“F'n Great barbecue! Ribs are juicy with tons of flavor, Dry rub is perfect. Brisket is juicy and well smoked! Baked beans are sweet & flavorful, colored greens are a little spicy for me but good flavor! ! And sauces have layers of flavors!“
“I tried the goat over rice, it was delicious. I love the Somali rice; basmati rice cooked in a rich stock, spiced up, and with a bunch of vegetables in it too. I also had a beef Sambusa. Portions were generous and goat was cooked to perfection. The mango juice was excellent too. Sambusa was great. I will definitely be back, and may also try the American dishes too. Menu includes pictures to help if you're not familiar with the cuisine. I was curious about restaurant's name and I think it means 'to come together'?“
“It's a great spot for a super cheap meal. It was one of the only places I've found on the OSU campus that had pupusas. The empanadas are also a must try. It is cash only, so keep that in mind. It usually takes about 10 minutes to make your order, so make sure you have that time.“
“Great open air brewery with food options in the Creekside area of Gahanna. We enjoyed the "We Made You A Mixtape" IPA that had a distinct color but was simply delicious! They needed an extra person behind the bar, as the line did get pretty long but the staff was very friendly!“
“Good bar, but it really shines during karaoke on Friday nights. The pizza place attached to it used to be Mikey's Late night slice and still has the same taste despite having a new name.Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza is always good, and they may have the same vegetarian toppings as Mikey's but I can't remember if they did for sure.“
“So we were about 10 min too early to hit our weekly Weiland's trip to stock up on pre-made meals. It's just us and we like to keep it simple. I saw Winston's across the street and now we had a chance to try it. Off we went. White chocolate mocha with skim milk for me little whip 12 oz. Winston's mocha for him 16 oz. OMG so good both drinks though this was by far the absolute best mocha coffee drink ever. Quick service and reasonable prices. The staff was awesome. Order up front then move over to the side of the truck for your pick up. The food menu looked INCREDIBLE. Waffles with flavoring I didn't even think of coupled with breakfast sandwiches with waffles as the carrier. I was sorry we had a snack at home already. All of this of course means, we'll be back! Impressive local business and loved seeing all the locals come out for a cup of joe.“
“A great location. Indoor seating is adequate, and supplemented by some outdoor seats as well. Parking is plentiful, which isn't common for the area. I didn't try any of their chocolate, but the coffee itself was great; some of the best I've had in almost half a decade of living in Ohio. It almost had me feeling like I was in Seattle again.“
“Quinn was great! He was the only one working during a promotion that was well promoted online and was schedule alone on this very busy day. He handled it so well and maintained great customer service while doing his best to work as fast as possible. The manager did him dirty with no heads up and no back up to help out.“
“Tequila, mezcal and bourbon? Well, you are off to a good start already! Nice lineup of tacos. Plastic chairs really take away from the comfort and look. Are you shooting for a hip Grandview experience or a neighborhood dive? Agave and Rye seems to have one foot in each camp... and it doesn't seem to feel like it's completely put together yet. Give it time, maybe.“
“We had a really good experience here. The place is big so can seat a lot of people. We arrived at dinner time on taco Tuesday and were immediately seated. The waiter was prompt and personable. Our food was delicious. My only complaint is they charge $8 for about a cup of guacamole. It's really good, but come on, have you been to Blue Agave? They serve a huge bowl tableside for less than that.“
