50 Best American Restaurants near Worthington

“Wonderful experience and the food was delicious. Our waitress, McKenzie, was delightful and most helpful in giving us input on selection choices. We enjoyed the patio and our whole first experience here. Definitely will return.“

“Really enjoyed our Saturday night dinner celebration for 9 of us celebrating my grandson’s UC graduation. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was outstanding! The short ribs special was very good and we all agreed that the bay scallops and shrimp risotto is an outstanding dish! The entire staff is very friendly and for a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed excellent service! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant in downtown. Go a little ahead of reservation…downtown parking is somewhat limited. Thanks for a terrific celebration, Whitney House!“

“Another Cameron Mitchell restaurant that doesn’t disappoint! We had the absolute best experience at Cameron’s American Bistro thanks to our waitress, Jolee. From the moment we were seated, she was so welcoming and attentive. She gave excellent recommendations that truly elevated our meal, the short ribs were absolutely fantastic, the sourdough bread with roasted garlic was delicious, and the specialty cocktails were outstanding. She also went above and beyond to make sure our food allergies were carefully addressed.

Jolee clearly takes great pride in her work, she kept our waters full, answered every question with patience and knowledge, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire evening. It’s rare to find service this thoughtful and professional.“

“Always a great experience. Today we were lazy and ordered Door Dash. Unfortunately an item was missed. Zipped over to see if I could get it fixed. Manager came out right away assuring they get it right out. They did, and he gave us a $20 gift certificate for next time. Always appreciate their service but this was above and beyond.“

“I absolutely LOVE Pies and Pints. The pizza is AMAZING and the staff is incredibly friendly and nice. I tried the white pizza once and won't get anything else. Absolutely incredible!!!“

“Awesome interesting clientele! Everyone is super friendly, especially the staff! It’s small, clean, laid back with a decent menu of mostly fried fare That is the only negative, the whole place smells like a fryolator, you will need to wash your entire outfit, down to your skivies. It’s worth it though!“

“Everyone enjoyed their food, from salad to fish, sandwiches, and the quesadilla. All the homemade dressings and cuts of fries were amazing! 10/10. Our service was great, too!“

“First time there today! Our food was very good, nice outdoor area to eat outside, and our server, Rachel, was awesome! Will definitely come back!“

“Rita is the best! We had our wedding there last year and we highly recommend it for both large parties and just everyday happy hour and meals.“

“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.“

“She was very helpful and pleasant“

“The show here was incredible. Ivy (burlesque dancer) was stunning with her performances. Alexis (cocktail waitress) was amazing at taking care of us. She was super attentive to our drink needs and our overall vibe. Our bachelorette party was more enjoyable due to her attention to our table. Highly recommend!!“

“Great portions for a decent price with excellent caring servers!“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“A very clean place, with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. I continue to frequent this place for all the reasons mentioned above and the variety of the menu. I recommend you visit.“

“although tailored for smaller crowds, the atmosphere was great. My wife and I went for the sunday NY Strip special and the shrimp PoBoy. It was phonominal. Excellent steak cooked to perfectrion and the loded mash was superb. PoBoy was on point, and the drinks were great too! Highly recommended. Affordable!!“

“One of my favorite places when visiting Columbus. Tuna Crudo appetizer was delicious and a little spicy. Enjoyed the citrus salad, and the Atlantic char was perfectly cooked and the cauliflower both roasted and pureed was a good accompaniment. Ill be back!!“

“The green goddess cocktails are to die for — i dream about them. i also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup platter which was delicious. my server Macy was amazing— seriously one of the best waitresses i’ve had in a long time and always was at our table ready, and brought us things before we even knew to ask for them. She was so great!“

“Stopped in for happy hour-ordered the KFC bites, fried green tomatoes, and deviled eggs. All 3 were fantastic! The entrees were delicious and the cocktails were incredible! Service was also top tier!“

“Re. the Grandview location - Great food. But, building is just fair. It is freezing in there this time of year (late Fall/Winter). With the high ceilings, any heat never makes it to the patrons inside (please learn to use your ceiling fans to help with this). Also, having doors that open straight to the outside doesn't help. Each time they are opened, it is a blast of cold air for half the establishment.“

“my name is Tony Bussa and I thought the atmosphere was amazing. staff extremely help full. the food was more than good it was exceptional. this place is 5 star.“

“The weekend brunch is highly underrated, but not to be missed! We were greeted with a warm fire and lovely ambiance of live music on a crisp fall morning. Third and Hollywood has a very cozy, dimly lit vibe that is great for celebrating a special occasion, date nights, happy hour and as we recently found out the best brunch in the 614!

Having long been on a quest to find the best cinnamon roll in Columbus, we have finally found it! As a vegetarian my go-to dish is the vegetarian mixed grill. A common mistake restaurants make with vegetarian/vegan dishes is not making it filling/hearty enough but I always come home with leftovers here! The artichoke hearts are another staple dish here that can not be missed.“

“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we tried was presented so nice!! Loaded with flavor & fresh ingredients !!! Would definitely recommend!!! Total 10!!!❤️“

“the food was all fresh, and the fish sandwich was amazing 😁“

“My husband and I really enjoy eating at rusty bucket! Food was great.. Customer service was amazing! We've been definitely go back and recommend. Thanks“

“My wife had a butter burger and onion rings and said the burger was better than Five Guys.
I had a cod dinner. The fish was good although a little greasy. My fries were cold. The cole slaw was fantastic.
I have had their Frozen Custard and it is fantastic.“

“Had 2 Juicy Lucy Regular FF and Sweet Potatoes FF- everything good I waiter did great job. While sitting there eating a and observing I noticed the different age and variety of customers the young and the olds everybody enjoying feeling safe. Mothers with small children and "old folks " like us (87 and 92)-THANKS RUSTY BUCKET for your delicious food hospitality sleep up the good work!?“

“My Precious Sissy, Wanda and her husband, Mark Sr. told me that I have to go eat there! The service, food and atmosphere is Wonderful!🥰👍🏼👨🏼‍🍳🍽️🎉🥮🥳❤️“

“We arrived early and were able to sit for our reservation. The hosts made sure the other arriving members of our party were surprised for a birthday. The specials were explained in detail and the menu options were great. Service was good and they even redid a ribeye steak that was not to taste for a member at my table with no further issues.“

“Visited Delaney's in Grandview with a friend for breakfast , first time for both of us. Very pleased with atmosphere, service and quality of food. I highly recommend stopping in, plan to do so again.“

“If I could leave more stars I would. My child was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and we haven’t had the easiest time finding restaurants that have reasonable accommodations. The staff was so patient and kind while I asked our list of questions to ensure they eat safely. Our server even went to the back to receive confirmation from the back of the house on all ingredients. Thankful to have found a Crohn’s friendly restaurant!“

“I enjoyed a lovely afternoon brunch with my father this afternoon. We agreed that our experience was so enjoyable because of our amazing server Grace. I am constantly dreaming about the deviled eggs and the chocolate cake, you don’t want to miss out! Grace was very detailed oriented and very cautious about my severe tree nut allergy which made feel at ease. I already can’t wait to go back and Grace will be my preferred server no question!“

“the food was amazing, and the service was top notch. try the fried b&b pickles“

“We come to this location every month for a professionals luncheon in their event space upstairs. The team takes such amazing care of us. James is extremely accommodating and always communicates back quickly. Stew always checks in after our lunches to make sure the service was good. Giovanni takes such good care of us, always patient and kind, always in a good mood. He makes it such a good experience for us. The food is always hot and fresh, and it is always good. Highly recommend for just casual dining or if you have an event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Very nice place. The food & service was great. I enjoyed watching ppl outside playing volleyball. Our waitress was the best. She made sure everything was right with us then had the band sing happy birthday to our grandson and brought him out a cupcake with a candle. We will definitely go back when we're in the area“

“Amazing food, great service from Ardit Q!! He was great and professional!! Try it you will like it!!“

“Firebirds in Polaris turned what could have been a stressful night into one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. After running late and even getting stuck in our hotel elevator, the staff was incredibly gracious, giving us extra time for our reservation and welcoming us warmly when we arrived. The restaurant was busy but still felt open, elegant, and inviting, and we were seated quickly despite the crowd. Our server was fantastic—attentive, patient, and kind. I ordered the Wood Grilled NY Strip* with broccoli and a Caesar Salad, and everything was cooked to perfection. My date had the Firebirds® Chicken Pasta with spicy Asiago cream sauce, and it was just as phenomenal. The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and truly exceeded expectations. I didn't order from the bar, but it looked stunning and inviting. Instead, I enjoyed their strawberry lemonade, which was delicious and refreshing. Between the excellent food, the warm and attentive service, and the lovely atmosphere, Firebirds easily became a new favorite for me. Prices were very fair for the quality, and I can confidently say this was a 10/10 experience. I'll absolutely be coming back and highly recommend Firebirds to anyone looking for a more than pleasant dining experience.“

“It's been a while since we've been to The Rossi and we are so glad we dined there yesterday. First, they have one heck of a Happy Hour both for their food and beverage offerings were fantastic, I mean how often do you see French 75s and Palomas on a Happy Hour menu. Second, their staff, front of the house, bartenders and servers all have the impeccable timing as far as knowing when to check-in which made the whole experience relaxing & leaving us truly happy! Finally, the restaurant itself has character in a good way... the rays of sunlight dancing thru the windows and the sparkle off of the lighting fixtures leaves patrons with the impression the owners of this bar care about the ambience! We'll be back for sure!“

“Great food, lots of fine dinners to choose from. Their bison steak is the best I've had anywhere! I had some garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots with that and some lemonade. I've dined in this place before, ate bison burgers but this time I opted for their bison filet steak, and it was delicious. The whole meal was. Facilities are clean, now with soap dispensers placed around for your convenience. I hadn't been to this area since Covid hit and that has changed everything but I'm happy this restaurant is still in business. I came to eat there because I wanted to eat a fine meal before seeing the German band Kraftwerk that evening. The waitress was very quick in serving the food and very friendly. Sure, the dinners may be more expensive and there's not many restaurants in the Nationwide Arena area now, but why not go for something unique and special to add to your fun day? I have eaten here before and after attending events such as hockey games, Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, RUSH, (Jeff Lynne's) ELO, Adam Ant, Noel Gallagher and more throughout the Arena District. I'm glad this place is still around after all that's occurred during the past few years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who attends any event in the Arena District. It's as good as it ever was, maybe better. Food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness - ***** out of five. I will certainly eat at this place again, just as I have at previous times. Kudos! 😋🙂😇“

“When you see a place with a small menu, you know you can pick anything and be satisfied. In this case I had the Thai Burrito and was thoroughly pleased with juicy chicken, delicious veggies and rice, and a fantastic peanut sauce to boot.
The restaurant itself has a very particular vibe. It's both current and clean, yet it feels like a place from the 80s.“

“Awesome survive, quick on getting food out. Refills are quick too. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of too much was the paper straws. I still do recommend! 🤍🤍🤍“

“I have been to Morgan House many times during the Christmas holiday season. This was the first time I had been there without Christmas trees and Christmas decorations everywhere.
It was so nice to Walk around and look through the entire store without it being intensely crowded. It was equally as nice to have a conversation over lunch without trying to out. Talk everyone else.
Don’t get me wrong. I will be back for the Christmas holiday season.
But my biggest question is, where do you hide all the Christmas stuff the rest of the year! 😂😂😂“

“Fish sandwich was amazing, salad and pizzas really good. We really liked their juices and iced mint coffee. Also, their dark chocolate cookies were great. Nice outdoor seating with live music. Great vibe and service. All waiters were friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back.“
