The vibes here are great. Loved their take on an expresso martini. The reuben egg rolls were lackluster. Next I come here I'll get one of their burgers or sandwiches. Our server was fantastic and really friendly. Would love to come back.

Lamb Sliders- what's left before I remembered to take a photo! Soooo good!!
Kayla A.

Great service, ambience and food. The lamb sliders were AMAZING! Bison Burger was different but still savory. Tomato Soup and Wings were very tasty too. Definitely a good spot to try when in the area!

Lamb Sliders
Megan M.

Yelp for the win! So many good choices we didn't know where to start so we just chanced our luck and walked in to this one (#1 recommended for me). We were seated right away (Friday night before game day - ). The service was phenomenal. She asked us if we'd ever been there and when we said no she asked if we wanted recommendations. She was so attentive and even asked us why we were in Columbus. We ordered fun cocktails and wine and couldn't decide on food so ordered all the recommendations and split everything. Food was all good but in order of best to good - 1) Lobster Mac and Cheese, 2) Market Burger, 3) Lamb Sliders (this was my favorite but I love all the things on it and many might not), 4) Amish Chicken. Only thing we wished is the Amish Chicken came with lettuce, tomato, onion - just more. The restaurant was a dark, slightly too warm, obviously "more adult" vibe. Perfect for us but sharing in case you are looking for a college experience - this is not it. Highly recommend though! Great experience.

I want to start by commending the exceptional service provided by Dane. She was wonderful, and her recommendations truly enhanced my meal. Based on her suggestions, I ordered the Southern Spring Rolls and the Loaded Brussels sprouts with feta and cranberries; both were phenomenal, especially the dipping sauces she provided for the rolls. My main course, the Arch City Burger, was cooked to perfection on a nicely toasted bun, and the Caesar salad I ordered as a starter was fresh and crisp although dressing was average not my preference. To finish, both the Night Shift martini and complimentary tiramisu were delicious. While I had an overall excellent experience and plan to return soon, I did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding the beverages here. I was disappointed that bottled water was unavailable. Additionally, I found the $17+ price point for pre-batched cocktails to be quite high, as I generally prefer a freshly made drink. However, I was very pleased that Dane was able to accommodate my request for a fresh Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned instead. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and pass my compliments along to Dane for her outstanding hospitality!

Bratwurst Corn Dogs
Rhonda L.

We had our young and cool nephew and his girlfriend in town for a visit, so we decided to take them to the Short North for dinner. Arch City Tavern was PERFECT. So many creative things on the menu, and the ambiance was great. We ended up getting two starters--the brat corn dogs and the loaded Brussels--and I couldn't have been happier with our selections. Both were creative, delicious, and definitely worth ordering! Our server Aly was informative, personable, and made the evening just that much better!

Nashville Fried chicken Sandwich
Nick S.

Arch City is a Short North staple! It has such an inviting atmosphere and it's perfect for every occasion. Whenever someone from out of town visits, this is one of the stops you need to take them to! The service is awesome and they have great weekday specials! Arch City has some of the best shareables and starters around, with the classic Brussels sprouts or French onion soup, to their southwestern spring rolls or specials like their Irish nachos! Their sliders and burgers are always phenomenal and all of their sandwiches will leave you happy and full! Go on and stop by!

Amish Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Vanessa H.

Mom/Son belated Mother's Day date at the Columbus Museum of Art, then lunch following at Arch City. First time here. We started with the Lobster Mac & Cheese Shareable. To die for! My son got the Market Burger with Truffle Fries. I got the Amish Chicken Sandwich. But the name is deceiving. It's basically a Caprese Chicken Sandwich ("Amish"- cuz it's where the chicken's family is from)- SO DELICIOUS! And a side of the Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ goat cheese & cranberries! Meghan was an excellent server with a smiling personality! We will definitely be back! And soon!

Pulled Pork Breakfast Skillet- has potatoes, big slices of onions, big slices of peppers.
Ashley O.

It was good! The bar has a dark kind of vibe, we got brunch on Saturday- got the pulled pork breakfast skillet without avocado and chives. Me and my friend ordered very similar- service was good, prices were good. It was a nice place to try while we were in the area!

Salmon Sandwich
Dajawon Y.

I stopped by Arch City Tavern and the service was great quick, attentive, and friendly, which really stood out. It was early so there weren't a lot of people inside which helped cause I was on a lunch break but nice inside and cozy. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. I ordered the salmon sandwich and a Caesar salad. The salad was okay; they put a generous amount of dressing, which I actually liked, but the croutons were burnt, so it threw off the overall flavor. The salmon sandwich was the biggest disappointment it had barely any aioli, wasn't seasoned at all, and ended up tasting like nothing. It looked great, but the flavor just didn't match the presentation. Overall, I'd come back for the service, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time.

Bison Burger with truffle fries, Lobster Mac & Cheese and Brussels Sprouts
Rose B.

I'm from Indianapolis, and my boyfriend found this spot because he was craving lobster mac n' cheese. We dined here for Valentine's Day, we loved the atmosphere and thought the decorations were adorable. For such a relaxed vibe, the food was top notch. Even though the food was great, it wouldn't have been a five star review without our server. Dana is legitimately the best server I've ever had in my life. Tentative without being annoying, knowledgeable without trying too hard to sell, and just all around so kind and vibrant. She is the best!

Reuben rolls
Nadeane H.

The food is meh Here. I had the Reuben egg rolls. They were flavorless and barely had any filling. But they were fried well - crispy. The wings are very spicy. The Caesar salad was good. The service was not attentive. Our waitress kept disappearing and we waited for drink refills and to bring our check. The ambiance is typical bar - kinda dark. But they do have windows that completely open to the outside sidewalk.

Perfect spot for beer and food
Jennifer V.

Kate was amazing! Her recos were spot on (lamb sliders and Amish chicken sandwich with loaded brussel sprouts). She kept the delicious beers coming, she checked in just the right amount of time so we didn't feel rushed but felt cared for. We had a prime spot so we appreciated how we were serviced. Ask for Kate, listen to her recos and enjoy!

Meatballs
Jasmine T.

Great ambience here! Everyone seemes relaxed, as if they come here often. I came during happy hour and got a cocktail and some meatballs. The drink was good but the meatballs were just okay, they could've used some more salt. I also took the Nashville chicken sandwich to go and it was just okay well, it had no particular flavor but the portion was huge. It had a really thick chicken breast and the fries were good.

Man, where do I start with this one... I feel my experience was so out of place it needed to be…read moreshared. My Mother (who is a frequent guest to Cameron Mitchell Restaurants) and myself, decided to have a nice Sunday brunch at what she usually knows to be an elevated dining experience and choice Guild House due to the copious amounts of reviews and recommendations of their ability to accommodate vegans. So we did what was recommended which was called ahead to let them know that we were coming in to dine and the host reassured us that the Chef would be able to accommodate for the vegan diet. Once we arrived and were seated, our server gave use the run down and proceeded to let him about the vegan diet to which he responded there were vegan options on the menu (which there are not), I let him know we were told to let him know so he could communicate with the chef to see what could be prepared. After checking with the chef he told me only one dish could be made vegan even though I was told they would be able to make off menu dishes for dietary restrictions. The executive chef came out only to agree with me that they could make Off menu dishes, but didn't provide me with what they could make but told me the tofu for the salmon dish would be blackened, seasoned and seared so I went ahead and ordered the one dish that I was told could be made Vegan. I then went to order a drink and wanted to know what the rotating IPA they had on draft was at the time... the server responded that the ipa was called "rotating" if I would like to order it, after telling him several times that's incorrect and asking for him to check with the bartender, he finally decided to go ask what the rotating beer was, s if I don't know what I'm talking about or how to order at a restaurant. The food finally came out and not only was my tofu not blackened, it was barely seared or cooked as the chef assured me it would. My mother also order her eggs to be overhard and they brought her a runny egg and had to take it back. I tried to suck it up and just eat my food but the lack of favor was disappointing so I asked about my togu not being prepared right which they acknowledged and brought me out JUST the tofu (blackened this time) without remaking the whole dish. They did eventually take that item off the bill, but the manager never came out to speak to us or to acknowledge all the problems we were experiencing. I am highly disgusted and shocked with this experience and the lack of professionalism and hospitality exhibited by the server, the management and the kitchen staff. This was not up to Cameron Mitchell standards what so ever.

This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.

We sat at the chef's counter and I fear it has ruined me for all future visits. The kitchen is on the smaller side so it's only a 2 person counter. Perfect for truly being in the middle of the action and getting to interact with all of the amazing creators bringing the meal to life. Warning - the counter sits directly across from the grill so be prepared to get a little warm. They take good care of you with several cooling elements though. It's difficult to name a favorite bite. All so interesting and delicious!

Food is great, but I was disappointed because I booked a reservation based on the "Midwest…read morenostalgia tour" as advertised. Once we arrived we were told that was no longer being offered and the "website wasn't updated". This is a very expensive dinner and when you decide to book, you want what menu/experience you were advertised. As I sat there the website was still advertising a menu that was no longer available. Just be aware the Midwest Nostalgia Tour is still being advertised. They charge a cancellation fee so once you're there, you're committed. My husband and I have tried their previous menus before so we wanted to take our kids and experience something new. The 12-course "foundations" tour was great, of course, we but have had it before in other variations.

Only downside is that we had to wait a little bit (about 30 minutes) for a patio table even though we did have a reservation. They do not take reservations for the patio.
