    Built my own with tuna and spicy salmon so delicious
    Nahyun K.

    I've tried about 3 different poke spots including this one, the one at Banks Food Hall, and Pokémon in Opelika. I saw people rave about this spot so I had to try it out and definitely did not disappoint! I am a HUGE foodie and I was surprised to see the plentiful options you could add to build your perfect poke bowl. The service was also amazing. The menu was easy to read and follow. And my first time experience here was a breeze. The restaurant itself is small and not a place you want to go sit and eat, but rather take it to go. I could tell their fish quality was good and I did not get sick or feel sick after devouring my bowl! I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to others.

    Probably the best poke place I've found here in Columbus Ga since moving here from California a year ago.

    Delicious food! Every time Ive visited, the service has been decent and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant is fairly small, but overall is nice and clean for the most part. I wouldn't recommend coming with a party of more than 4 people. It seems better to order from here rather than eating in. Still, delivery is delicious as well!

    Medium spicy Spicy Ahi Tuna Bowl

    Food was great!!! Best poke bowl in Columbus. Today was my first visit, so the protein portion threw me off a bit. But medium is the average size. Definitely is a to-go type of place. Service was quick, kind, and attentive.

    Great service from the staff. They're willing to give their recommendations (which is typically towards a build your own rather than a set which won't be as customizable). From my understanding there's one other poke place in Columbus and this is my preferred poke location. Portion is good and again, if you're doing a build your own, you're allowed to ask for extra toppings; at least from what is included. Any additional costed toppings/proteins they'll usually inform you but it doesn't hurt to ask before you add it in. It's a smaller side for the establishment so you could eat there but it's just easier to grab and go. Now that we're getting into warmer weather I recommend bringing a cooler bag just to keep the fish at a safe temperature. Speaking of which, fish tastes fresh and you can tell that the employees have tried combinations as well (bonus in my opinion). Have been and will be back!

    Amazing place! The food was fresh and the staff was kind and helpful. Can't wait to go back! So many different choices and combinations that it'll be difficult to choose what to eat each time because I want it all!

    I came in here on a whim and boy am I happy I did stop! Great hidden secret with amazing food and great customer service. Nika hooked me up with the royal treatment and making sure that my food came out perfect while making great recommendations to make my food even better! I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by

    Spicy tuna bowl
    Karess R.

    Lunch with a friend. It was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back. I ordered a small spicy tuna bowl and it was delicious. I expected a small snack but it was more like a meal which Is a PLUS. The young lady who made my bowl was so nice and also suggested toppings which made it a pleasant visit for me. 5 starts !

    House poke Medium Bowl

    Stumbled upon this place by accident, and I'm so glad I did! I got the house poke bowl with brown rice, cooked salmon, tofu, and added masago. They offer sample bowls, which was great because I never would have thought to get that bowl. I also got a Lychee green tea boba with tapioca, there where lychee bits at the bottom, and the boba was very warm, probably some of the best boba I've ever had!

    Spicy Salmon Poke Medium Bowl

    First time eating there and everything was super fresh. The sample bowl she made us took me by surprise. She asked what we liked fixed it and said here you go. The spicy salmon bowl was amazing. We ate the sample and went right back to create our own bowls. Extremely clean and everyone was super friendly and made great suggestions on everything. I'm hooked. Refreshing yet filling.

    Sesame Chicken Bowl. Very vibrant, welcoming trendy spot. Absolutely loved the Wasbi Mayo

    This place has fresh healthy bowls and is impossibly clean. Sauces are delicious. Would come here everyday if I could.

    Super solid spot. Not quite as good as what you'd find on the west coast, but definitely gets the job done. Awesome staff too

    Clean small place and pleasant staff. A bit pricey and serving portion is inconsistent.

    I'm here for a week and this is my second amazing lunch here (and I highly recommend their Build…read moreYo Poke restaurant, too). You literally can make limitless combos to have your salad exactly as you want. All dressings are made in-house, which is pretty impressive. You can order a rice bowl with ingredients, too. The portions are beyond generous (a small salad would be considered large elsewhere) and the array of ingredients and toppings is exceptional. On my first visit, I ordered a small spinach salad with grilled salmon. As toppings, I added chopped red onion, shredded carrot, pineapple, mandarin oranges, blueberries, chopped strawberries, chopped beet, blue cheese, sliced avocado, dried cranberries with their in house made raspberry vinaigrette. It was literally one of the most delicious salads I've ever had. I was so stuffed from the generous portion that I didn't need dinner. On my second visit, I got a veggie wrap with grilled chicken, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, shredded carrot, blue cheese, sliced avocado. I got the in-house buttermilk ranch dressing on the side (and ended up not using it-sandwich was amazing without it). I was asked if I wanted chicken warmed (I didn't) and I was amazed at the skill of the preparer who was able to tightly wrap the ginormous quantity of ingredients into the wrap and halve it. I only ate half my sandwich so I have lunch for tomorrow. Win-win. The black cherry tarragon soda was so good as was the Italian lemon soda. Their soups sounded great as did their desserts. The staff was so friendly and helpful. (Don't forget to tip!) The tvs on the walls show cool food art being made. I'd come here and their Poke place at least twice a week for lunch if I lived locally. Prices are extremely reasonable for quality and quality of food.

    I would give Jarfly 9 stars if I could. We were on our way from a long day in a production…read morefacility in Eufaula, AL to Atlanta, GA with customers and we found Jarfly on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. So glad we did. The menu is eclectic with just about something for everyone. All our food came out quickly. It was well prepared, fresh and everyone really enjoyed their food. There is a great drink selection and the service was excellent. The bar has roll up garage doors down one side that open up to an outdoor seating area with a variety of seating options. Decor is bright and cheerful. If I lived around here, Jarfly would be high up on my list as far as places to go relax drink and eat!

    The combo appetizer included sweet potato fries, mozzarella sticks, wings, and nachos. The nachos…read morewere pretty basic--nothing special, no real cheese, barely any toppings. They honestly don't need to be on the menu. The mozzarella sticks were surprisingly flavorful with a nice crunch, but they came with way too much breading and only three of them, which felt stingy and odd. They definitely should've included more. The sweet potato fries had decent flavor but were under-salted (as fries almost always need after frying) and came out a bit limp and sad-looking. The hot wings weren't labeled as boneless or bone-in on the menu, but they turned out to be boneless--which is fine. They were a good size, but the "hot" sauce was extremely mild. It needs way more heat to live up to the name. Now, the ranch... this ranch is incredible. It's creamy, deeply flavored, and has the perfect amount of dill--it's practically divine. I could rave about this ranch all day. The Zombie drink comes in a cool skull glass (limited to one per person), but it's basically 99% ice with very little actual drink. I could barely taste any alcohol--maybe I have a high tolerance--but the flavor was solid. Still, it's pretty pricey for mostly ice. The John Denver cocktail also looked great in its presentation, but again, mostly ice. Thankfully, the flavor matched the menu description exactly, which was a pleasant surprise. The patty melt was solid overall, but it needed more salt and pepper for seasoning. My egg was overcooked (fully hard yolk instead of the runny one I was hoping for to ooze over the patty). The avocado was only on one half of the sandwich, which seemed strange. I'd have preferred a slightly thicker patty too, but I do appreciate that it came on Texas toast--even though the menu didn't mention it. All patty melts should use Texas toast. I added a side salad, which looked nicely artisanal, and--once again--that amazing ranch took it to another level. The regular fries that came with the Rodeo Burger aren't regular at all--they're battered and had great flavor and crisp structure. They were excellent... except for the missing finishing salt that every great fry deserves. The Rodeo Burger itself was cooked perfectly, but like the patty melt, the patties needed more salt and pepper. The egg was again overcooked (hard yolk). Beyond that, the flavors worked well, though the jalapeños were surprisingly mild and lacked punch. The bacon was spot-on--not underdone, not overcooked, just the right chew without being tooth-breaking. Overall, the food has potential, but seasoning (especially salt) is consistently missing, and a few portions/quality details could use attention. That ranch, though? Absolute standout
