I met an old friend for lunch and we picked a halfway point between my house and her house and it…read moreturned out to be Johnstown. Two of the restaurants were closed on Monday, which left this Mexican restaurant that had less than perfect reviews. Like another customer mentioned, if I could've given a 6 star review, I would have. I was waiting on my friend who came in the back door. I was waiting out on the street at the front door. The owner came out to let me know my friend was already inside and escorted me to our table. The menu was expansive and it all looked fantastic. Difficult to choose. I ended up ordering the sizzling fajita plate, coffee, iced tea, and their house flan for dessert. My friend ordered something that looked really amazing that had a mushroom sauce and some cheese. We both all but licked our plates clean. But I did have enough to take some home for leftovers and I'm looking forward to a second meal. The portions were generous. The meat was a good quality, sautéed to a sizzle, just as it was described. The whole meal looked impeccably fresh and perfectly sautéed to the right amount of tender/crisp texture. The hot items were hot and the cold items were cold on different platters. When asked about different items on the menu, they very kindly explained. They checked on us several times throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. I am an award winning retired professional gourmet chef, having cooked and baked for several famous people, including three presidents. Full disclosure---- It is very difficult to make me happy because I am such a snobby food critic. They far exceeded my expectations and we plan to make it a meeting spot for monthly visits in the future. KimO Fredericktown, Ohio

I live just down the street, so I was excited to see a new place opening in town. They performed…read morequite a change on the interior of this place! It was previously Uncle Johnnies, and previously to that, The Old Horseshoe, so it looked and felt more like a sportsbar before. They've retained some of that with the TVs and the bar area, but it definitely feels more upscale and has more personality now. The changes are evident as soon as you walk in with the foliage and tile used to decorate. I am appreciative of the decor as it gives it a modern, yet still casual, feel. The service has been pretty good here! Admittedly, I was surprised because I first went to the New Albany location and was very disappointed in the service. However, I've been in this location 3 times and have been pleased: I have always felt welcome and taken care of. The staff cares aboout their customers and the management wants to provide a good experience for all and that is clear. I have tried three different meals on the occasions I've been in. The one funny thing is that I am pretty sure I got something different than what I ordered the first time I was in (the week they opened). I was forgiving because it tasted good, it was their first week, and most importantly for me, it was still vegetarian, and I wouldn't have been able to eat it otherwise. Speaking of which, I do appreciate a good vegetarian option menu! They're hitting the mark here with this part of their menu! (I can't speak for much else) I think I found my favorite dish in the menu- the Veggie #2 and #3 are the same, just swapping out mushrooms for spinach on one item, so I'll rotate between them. The only place I'm not 100% in on this place is the drinks. They have fancy cocktails, but I don't need fancy. With fancy cocktails come fancy prices, and that's just not needed for me. I'm more of a craft beer or wine drinker anyway, but unfortunately, craft beer is not their speciality. Maybe I'll go with wine next time? I'll be excited to see what they do with the upstairs as it's a great space that should not go wasted. I do understand it's not convenient to carry trays of food up the stairs, but the bar is nice and we'll see what they do with it. Overall, they're off to a running start and my family will likely return regularly.

Ate lunch yesterday at Beef 'O' Brady's in Hilliard. This is my second time eating here, the first…read morebeing back in probably 2007 or so. That first time, I ate there for dinner with my wife and we enjoyed it well enough. I vaguely remembered it as being a dark-ish pub type place with televisions and high booths. It was still that yesterday. I got there a few minutes after they opened at 11:00am. I had looked at their website before going and decided upon the Fish 'n' Chips combo. From the BoB's website: Fish 'N' Chips Combo Delicious beer-battered cod fillets fried to a golden brown, served with tartar sauce and fresh lemon. This combo also came with fries, cole slaw, and I added a drink. The waitress was very friendly and brought my drink out quickly. My Diet Coke tasted more like soda water than soda so I asked her for a replacement. She said she would get it from the bar this time and see if it was any better. She did and it was. My fish 'n' chips came out quickly and was quite hot (as cooked food will be). Lunch came in a plastic flat dish with a checkered sheet of paper lining the bottom. All told, there were 3 pieces of fish - each slightly smaller than a deck of playing cards, a goodly portion of medium cut fries, a small cup of cole slaw, a small cup of tartar sauce, and a wedge of lemon. I ate a couple of fries as is before I added ketchup. Nice and crispy, hot, and fluffy on the inside. Good enough to eat sans ketchup but I really like ketchup. It made them better. It also soaked through the paper lining so I ended up scraping all of the food off of it into the dish and throwing away the paper. No need to add bits of soggy paper to my lunch. I next tried the cole slaw and I was disappointed. It was room temperature which is puzzling, plus, it tasted...off. Not food poisoning off, just...weird. I added pepper to it and it did not improve. I set it aside and started on the fish. The fish was very good. Nice and crunchy batter, extremely flaky fish inside, and had an excellent fresh flavor. I really enjoyed it. I sampled the tartar sauce and like the cole slaw, it was room temperature. To me, both cole slaw and tartar sauce should be cold. The tartar sauce had an OK flavor. Nothing memorable. The wedge of lemon I ignored. I finished my lunch and it was filling. I did not have room for dessert even though I was eyeballing the cheesecake on the menu. I also did not need a refill on my Diet Coke. The combo was priced at $13.99 and the drink was $3.19. Overall, a decent lunch with the fish being the star. Excellent waitress, good service, quick turnaround time. I may or may not return.

I'm sure it's financial pressure, but they have reacted poorly. Instead of re-pricing, or other transparent methods of communicating with customers, they are "shrink-flating" - meaning same price, but much less value. I got the chimichanga app - same number of pieces (6) but maybe half the size they used to be. Chicken quesadilla, honestly, they may have forgotten the chicken because the quesadilla was so thin...for $10. We used to go here maybe once every 1-2 weeks...not coming back. First - it's a form of lying when restaurants handle price pressures this way, Second - choosing this path means a morally compromised owner. Shame on you Yabo's...what a disappointment.

Me and my wife were born in San Antonio, so it's safe to say we know what good Mexican food is about. Need to start with how clean this place is. Huge points in my book for a facility having a clean environment. The server (Stephanie) was awesome, very nice, very sociable, quick to take care of the patrons. The salsa was very delicious, chips were good as well. The guac dip is something that restaurants don't seem to get sometimes, this is some good old school recipe guac dip here. I'm a sucker for fish tacos, whether it's tilapia, or cod, or even shrimp. These fish tacos were spot on, fair amount of fish, tortillas were very good, and the sauce was off to the side as I like. Love the crunch that the fried tilapia had to it, no complaints. My wife enjoyed the Tacos de Birria, and this is sometimes where people fail, with over cooking the beef. Not these, the beef was very tender, I had to sneak a piece of my wife's taco. The beans were great, the rice was great, just like back home. No question in my mind, I will bring my folks here when they come up to visit. My mom is originally from Monterrey, Mexico, and I know she would enjoy this spot. If your craving some authentic Mexican food, definitely make this a family night and enjoy the good. You can tell there is passion that goes into this food, and no doubt, we'll be coming back for more.
