    I have to post about Birch Tavern in Groveport. This is my kind of place! Their website has an interesting history of the restaurant which goes back more than 100 years. There is construction in the area (7/15/2026) as you can see, but there is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and it is easy to get in and out of and look at that beautiful, historic building! I ordered my entree and side separately and didn't take pictures, but, of course I want to go back and try many more items. It is a family friendly atmosphere and the staff greeted me immediately when I walked in. I sat at a table and the bartender and waitress both took great care of me. Their hospitality was outstanding! I had a delicious chili cheese hot dog on a toasted bun and then ordered the house made kettle chips. I have never had potatoes cut fresh and fried on the spot. They were almost too hot to eat (almost) and the middle of the larger chips was slightly al dente so I knew they were actually cut and fried and not just heated up. I still want to try the spicy pickle fries, the potato skins, the hamburger, some of the sandwiches, and more!

    The service was fantastic here! Our waitress was fast and took care of everything we needed. The environment was great! They had live music on a Saturday night. The food was great as well!! Came out super hot and had good options on the menu. Price wasn't too bad.

    So far Ohio has been a wonderful experience for my family. Great food, great atmosphere, and so many things to do with the family. Birch was on my list, and had been recommended by a few folks that I work with. Awesome vibe inside, very clean, and the service was prompt. Pat was our server, and was very nice, very professional, and was quick to help us out. I'm a huge backyard simple burger type of guy, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Burger was very delicious, cooked just right. Would be nice if the burger was served with fries, instead of having to order separately, but still a damn good burger. Wings were everything you want them to be, sauced up, with extra in the basket to spare, plump, not over cooked at all. Make sure to get some extra napkins, they are very much worth the commotion I've heard. The only thing I could say that Birch could work on was the small size/amount of pretzel bites you get for $8. Pretty steep. All in all, very good food here, no question. Can't say enough about the burger, me and the family will be back in the future.

    Cute spot, stopped in on our way down to a wedding. Service was friendly, lots of TVs to watch. I had the cod , giant piece of fish and amazing crunchy batter with homemade tartar sauce . The fries were hand cut, overall nice experience.

    A+ food and service. Good beer also. Bartender recommended a good beer as I am from out of town. Very friendly staff.

    An unlikely gathering spot for a few nearly-octogenarians to meet up, but the location was right and the reviews were good. The reviews were warranted. We were able to occupy a high top table for two hours and received service that was attentive, cheerful, and not rushing us even though we weren't drinking or ordering much. We had chicken && waffles (out-of-this-world delish), and a bacon cheeseburger (thick, juicy, cooked perfectly evenly throughout) with fries sprinkled with sea salt (the first thing to be eaten since they were good & hot). Ambiance was nice, too. Light birch wood covering ceilings about 12 feet high, well-lit, comfortable, clean. Business was starting to pick up when we left around 6:30 on a Monday night, but it was a wonderful place for a light dinner early on. Highly recommend to anyone.

    Our first trip here was last week and I had this amazing West Virginia slaw dog that I now can't get enough of. It was delicious! Just went back again last night for the 2nd time. The bartenders were awesome and talkative. It's got a nice patio out back. It's my new favorite place to go for some food and a few beers!

    Wow! Birch Tavern has made some upgrades inside since the last time I stopped in. I previously would have considered it a great hole in the wall tavern. Now it is bright, clean, bustling with patrons, and all around a great neighborhood bar! Do you know what every great neighborhood bar needs, an absolutely amazing bartender....and Birch Tavern has that too. Her name is Kim and she is a big part of what makes Birch Tavern great! We parked out behind the bar, and we came in through the back entrance. The parking lot was packed, so we weren't sure we would find a seat. Kim spotted us coming in and she quickly greeted us with a friendly hello, and then she immediately pointed out where there were two seats that we could slide into. That kind of greeting, and kindness is so rare now a days. She quickly made her way over to us with two menus and then proceeded to have our beers out to us in no time. Let me say this again, the bar was packed. By the time we left, we were convinced, Kim was only one of two working the entire place, other than those cooking in the kitchen and delivering food. Kim was able to keep all the patrons drinks full. She knew what we were going to ask for before we asked for it. She is amazing and she made our visit so enjoyable. Birch Tavern has good bar food. If you get the pretzel bites, we highly suggest them with the honey mustard. Our dinners came out hot. We didn't have to wait long for the food. I enjoyed my grilled chicken sandwich and fries. My husband thought the italian sub was ok, not the best, but totally edible. We were so happy with our visit, we will definitely be back again. Hopefully Kim will be there to help us out. If you are in Groveport and you are hungry or thirsty, stop in to Birch Tavern. Don't forget there is parking in the back.

    Oil needs changed. Karaoke fun. There are classier places and better food nearby. A drunk man was in front of me in line at bar they gave him another beer . And he fell right in front of me and all most pull me down. Potato kegs station.dark oil in old .

We 're often done working at late night hours. This is our favorite place to stop before heading home. Well, let's face it, there's nothing else open. Inside is a counter that seats around five people along with maybe eight booths. Depending on the time of day or night, there's at least one cook and one or two servers. The menu is breakfast on one side, lunch on the other. Order from either. It's all available all the time. Don't forget to Google the secret menu for some additional good options. You'll feel like a real old school WH customer. This place has the best hashbrowns, and be sure to have them smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered, capped, and topped! Add on a waffle, eggs, and a fresh cup of coffee. You're all set! You can play some tunes on the jukebox while you're watching your food be cooked. It's prepared to order and usually ready fast. Great way to start the day or end it!

That's a strike. I ordered the Jerk Chicken meal with cabbage and Mac n cheese. Beef patty on the side. It seemed to take 25 minutes for my food to come out. There were 2 other customers also waiting to pick up. Seemed a little long. I decided to take mine to go. The flavor of the Jerk Chicken was good and the portion was nice. Not too hot like some places. But what's missing is that grill flavor. The chicken was tender but jerk needs that kick that you get only from a grill. Also, not chicken pieces but what seemed like diced chicken thighs, no bones, swimming in sauce. The cabbage was about as expected. The Mac n cheese was the star of the plate. Gooey and cheesy but buried under the mound of chicken. I could still enjoy the cheesiness. Buried under the heap of chicken and sauce was a burned portion of cheese which put a smile on my face. The best. Honestly I polished off the Mac n cheese and left about 1/3 of the chicken and 1/2 the cabbage. I was a little over the flavors. The Beef Patty was good, no complaints. My total was $21 with tip, no drink. Not the best bang for the buck IMO. There are authentic options in Columbus with the same portions, grilled and bone in, for slightly less money. I've never left a crumb at those places. So I give this one a solid 3 stars.

They have several signs on the walls stating that they take time to finish the order, but they are taking it way too far. The food is not bad, the service is awful. Even though if you pick up your food and decide to eat at the restaurant, I do not recommend it. The tables are really uncomfortable and the ambience is a little bit neglected if you will.

Then we waited for 20 minutes. We didn't even get menus. Two tables were seated after us and were already ordering when we decided to give up and try another place. I don't like assuming people are prejudiced. I want to believe our server just happened to overlook the one table of brown people because they're a teenage girl going through a hard time. So that's what I choose to believe. I just hope the place shapes up, because someone else might not have taken it as well as we did. On the bright side, the staff seemed friendly (when we left, two servers near the entrance told us to have a nice day) and the dishes at the tables around us looked really good. I hope to come back and successfully try that chicken noodle soup someday
