“This is a fun place to grab a drink and enjoy excellent food. We love playing and hanging out with friends at Taps. The service and food are exceptional. Try to wings, hummus plate or grilled cheese. (My favorites) Carlin,Nick, and Mason are great at what they do.“

“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 great experience at a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. I'm picky, so I had the burger. It's hard to mess up a burger. But I also tried the wagyu steak and duck (first time ever for each, not just there) and they were really good.

The key lime pie was amazing.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Toledo ohio location, FOOD WAS GREAT, WAS MY ANNIVERSARY BUT THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SEEN MY SERVER THREE TIMES, ONCE TO TAKE MY ORDER, NEXT WEN MY FOOD ARRIVES, AND LAST WEN I ASKED FOR THE BILL,NEVER GOT A REFILL FOR MY DRINKS AND WALKED PASSED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT CHECKING“

“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.“

“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.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“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.“

“Love this place, bartenders are so sweet ! Drinks are always satisfying, the burlesque show is so much fun I’d recommend going to the early show if you want food and drinks and a table! Nightclub is so much fun dance floor and bar and cocktail service through with a show later at night !“

“Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea. Allison (sp??) was a wonderful server that was patient with all of us as this was our first time. Food was amazing. We will be returning again!“

“It was past midnight and I was starving. This was the only decent place opened. My experience exceeded my expectations. Everything was great, the atmosphere, the food quality, pricing, and the speed of service. Our waitress was Tony, and he was very kind and attentive. His Grateful Dead shirt and his cool mustache made my night“

“I've had poor experiences at other Culver's in the past, so when the gang wanted me to pick up carry out on the way home I wasn't thrilled. The place was slammed when I arrived so I had to wait a little bit. I have to say though that the food was much better than I remembered. The burgers were at the top end of regular fast food chain burgers and very good, and the icecream was fantastic. Everything was good enough that I would be willing to stop back again. So maybe Culver's has won me back a bit.“

“Best restaurant, especially for people wanting clean, healthy and food-sensitivity safe options. I travel often and this is the only place I can go knowing I have no worries on food choices. I have Lyme Disease and usually pull food out of my purse at restaurants while others eat off the menu; here I feel normal again. EVERYTHING, seriously EVERYTHING tastes amazing. To know me is to know Townhall is my go-to spot in Columbus and Cleveland. Big fan of Rebol and Green Goat too.
Beautiful, chill vibes are a bonus.“

“If you’ve ever hesitated about Twin Peaks, do yourself a favor and just go! The service is always a huge part of what makes the experience great, and Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are the best of the best. They’re attentive, friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular every time you walk in. They know how to keep things running smoothly while making sure everyone feels taken care of.

I especially enjoy sitting at the bar because the atmosphere and service make the whole experience that much better. These ladies go above and beyond, and their hard work deserves to be recognized. Great service, great energy, and a great overall experience every time.

Angie, Nhi, and Ivy are a big reason I keep coming back to Twin Peaks Polaris! Management, take care of these ladies because they’re an absolute asset to your team. Highly recommend! 🍻“

“Went there after a terrible experience with the other guys across the parking lot. Alexander’s was really good- get the spinach side- best ever.

Whet really made the experience was the team at the bar- made me feel valued, appreciated, and important.

They recommended the chicken pasta soup- so happy they told me about it!

The team- Amanda, Autum, Kieran were top notch!“

“We had Culver’s ice cream catered at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Nick Donahue, the GM of Powell, and his team were wonderful. Thank you, thank you! 5 ⭐️!!“

“The best and crunchiest pizza I have ever had! First time having it and it will definitely be number one on my list! The sub was loaded with meat and super good too!“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

“Wow! Hailey hit it out of the park for our impromptu breakfast quest that led us here! She was stellar in every way. Best service we have had on a trip & the tips and tricks on how she perfects her Bloody Marys was A plus! We can’t wait to come back next year and return- truffle eggs were so good!“

“We really enjoyed The Pearl! We felt comfortable from the minute we walked in, and there were so many great choices on the menu. We tried the hanger steak and the salmon, and both were excellent. The cocktails were amazing too.

And definitely try the Devils on Horseback. So good!

Great food, great atmosphere, and just an all-around enjoyable dinner. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Columbus.“

“🍷 Growing up in Italy, I’m naturally a little picky when it comes to Italian food, but Forno Kitchen + Bar has become one of my favorite spots here. I often come for their wood-fired pizza and house-made pasta, both full of authentic flavor that instantly take me back to evenings in Turin. The warm atmosphere, paired with a good glass of wine, makes every visit feel like a little taste of home“

“excellent food. amazing breakfast and service!“

“great bar! awesome bartenders! Great music venue! but they need work on their mac and watery cheese.“

“Breakfast food was sooooo good. Our server was very nice and quick to help us! Food came out quick and it was delicious. Clean resteraunt and patio. Would definitely come back to try other options of food because it all sounded so good. Very affordable pricing too.“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

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

“I dined here for dinner several times while visiting Columbus and was in search of healthful gluten free options. WOW the quality of the food here is excellent for the price point. The gluten free buns are delicious and soft. The zero proof cocktails are not overly sweet. Atmosphere is lovely and service is too notch. I wish I could pick this place up and take it home with me! I would be a regular. So impressed!“

“Food came out very quick. We started with the salt bread and it was fantastic. Light and airy but delicious. It didn't take very long for the entrees to arrive and their green beans were fabulous.
I did think their dessert menu was lack luster. We took a look but went to get ice cream as nothing stood out to us but overall very good experience.“

“Delicious food and amazing service by Ben!!!! Highly recommend.“

“We had a delightful Christmas Eve dinner with appetizers and three different entrees. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious and our favorite! The sauce was wonderful!“

“10/16/26: around 2:22pm I found myself craving coney dogs today and although I contemplated awhile I’m so happy I chose this business. WOW, it’s my first time and certainly not my last. I was greeted and sent off with such a warm welcome that I left with a bigger smile than I when I arrived!

That makes a world of difference and the food was tasty!! I ordered two coneys (the Texas and classic w/cheese) and fries. So glad I chose them for quick bite to eat!!

I wish them much success and will continue to support. Thank you for creating such a genuine experience!“

“We literally stumbled upon this place. Wanted to eat a good vegetarian burger. Saw the ratings and took a chance. We found a place we will be frequenting for sure.
Great energy walking in. Warm welcome and amazing inviting vibe from each person we interacted with. Loved the concept. A multi dimensional menu is well crafted. Drinks were out of this world. Food was really delicious. Care, attention to detail was of the highest level. Did I say food was delicious?
All three of us wonders if we have lived under a rock to not have known about this place.
House made pimento cheese dip and guacamole were out of this world.
Just GO! You won’t be disappointed. Only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have a full five star rating!“

“We love Delaneys! They have great food and the staff is friendly !“

“We had several dishes but the short rib was tender and delicious. The burger which my son stared was the best he ever had echoed by the server was ok. I would definition come back for the short rib... the cookies were smaller than miniature but it's a nice touch.“

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

“First time dining here. Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for a night away that we don't get often. We were not disappointed. Nicholas was our server and he did a wonderful job. Very informative on menu and very kind. Food was delicious! Will be back for sure.“

“Went here yesterday on a business trip and it was exactly what I needed. The ambiance and steak were fantastic, but what really made this worthwhile was the service. My server Natasha was so kind, took genuine interest in what brought me to Columbus, and treated me like the most important person in the room. While I never expect that, it meant the world to me to be treated with such kindness- like I wasn’t a customer but a friend. Next time I come back to town, I will be back!“

“Food was spectacular, staff was super friendly, lots of food for the cost. Highly recommend.“
