“ Great, hidden gem for breakfast. Not very busy around 10:15-10:30am on a Saturday. There was a large group of 10+ who looked like regulars but the place was not that loud. They have a simplistic breakfast menu but what they had brought out looked and tasted good. I had the breakfast burrito with bologna (who does this?), my wife had the breakfast bowl and our two friends had the breakfast platters. They fried and diced the bologna before putting it in the burrito which added a nice crunch texture. The price was very adorable and the portion size was just right. The waitress was very attentive and stopped by multiple times to check on us and make sure our drinks were filled up. I will be back when we're in the area and looking for breakfast or brunch. ”
“ One thing we love to do when we travel is go where the locals go and eat where the locals eat and we're glad this spot was down the street from our AirBnB. We had the Buckeye's Favorite pizza and man was it good. Highly recommended. One thing about going to local spots is sometimes you may not feel very welcome if the place packed with regulars but we were not only greeted with a warm welcome the locals didn't look at us like had the audacity! Like most if not all joints in OH, specially in this area this is Ohio State bar and it shows. The place is rich in history and just what a local watering hole should be complete without outdoor areas and live music. We'll definitely be back. ”
“ Have driven by hundreds of times and have always thought I need to stop in. Well we did on a Saturday night and had a lot of fun. Great neighborhood bar with good service, amazing atmosphere, and fun entertainment. Plenty of TVs for the games. There was a live band in the back bar and trivia in the front bar. The restroom was probably the cleanest bar restroom I have been in. Ordered beers, drinks, pepperoni pizza, and skins. I suggest you stick with beers and simple drinks. The margaritas was from a mix and very weak and the cranberry with vodka was also weak. You almost need to order a separate shot to make them better. Decent beer selection both on tap and from cooler. Prices were reasonable. We enjoyed the pizza and skins and were surprised with the taste. Looking forward to a return visit to try some other items on their extensive menu, but will stick with beer. ”
“ A respectable dive bar. But is it? By today's definition, sure is. I love how they make you feel like you're a regular on your very first visit. It's a very popular place. Every trip in here, it's been busy. So busy, we sometimes end up sitting at the bar Pro Tip: Sit at the bar. It's faster and you get more attention. The food isn't bad. I now remember how Great Gatsby's burgers are (Sorry). Try the Cod Fingers. Remember, never judge a book by its cover. 07/24 ”
“ A must try in Columbus. I think that they have the best pizza I've tried in the city. Also get their sweet potatoes fries and wraps. No complaints ”
“ Pizza on point crispy yummy Midwest pizza. All their food is good and their fried items are crisp and clean tasting oil. Entertainment always good Staff are so nice, if busy just wait your turn. Ambience fun!!! ”
“ Dive bar with incredible food. Reminds me of a bar you'd stumble upon while at the beach. Bartenders were friendly and the locals loved to chat. Nice outdoor patio too and live music. ”
“ Stopped in for trivia night on Saturday. It was crowded. First time here, it was not what I was expecting, the separate areas was pretty cool; however, it was pretty small overall. We had to first find a seat at the bar, which was tight. Finally a table opened up. We were seated in a small booth. Our waitress was there to take our drink order. We stared with the potato skins. These things are amazing! Full size skins, filled with a great bacon filled cheesy filling. A side of sour cream and salsa and these were mind blowing! Great flavor, and great portion size. For dinner we had the pizza but changed to white sauce. The dough here was great as it was not a thin crust but wasn't overly thick. It had a great flavor and a wonderful crunch! The toppings were plentiful and there was a great amount of cheese. Aside from the cramped atmosphere, this was a good choice for an appetizer and pizza! ”
“ Yes, it is a dive bar per the description. It's been around forever; we usually only come when our friends are up from down south. They have a full menu of great eats. The pizza is good. We've been multiple times and tried the wings, tenders and burger to name a few...they were all great. The beer list is not long and if you want to taste a bunch of craft beer this spot is NOT for you. They do have some craft beers to choose from but not a huge selection. Your best bet is get a PBR or Lite and spend more money on the liquor. They have live music inside and outside, depending on the weather. We always have a great time here. We'll be back for sure. ”
“ Kind of a dive bar but in a cool way... The exterior of the building looks a tad sketchy and during the day on Sunday it is kinda of weird because the back half of the building is empty... BUT I will tell you the service was spot on. The pizza was awesome and the antipasto salad was delicious. Plus the beer is cold... This place is worth a visit so don't let the building fool you. ”
