    Delicious food. Great service friendly atmosphere last minute I decided not to cook for Thanksgiving and then it rolled over to Christmas at City Barbeque was able to get us together at a great price.

    City BBQ is one of my go to places when I dont want to cook. I feel their BBq is decent. Quite frankly their chicken is great and they will do without sauce if you ask them to. The place reminds me of a country cabin as the walls are done in pine (shiplap?) planking. Service once was excellent here but now Id say its fallen a bit. The Hamilton road crew is much better. Today we stopped by for pickles and a free cobbler. I belong to their rewards program and every once in a while they give members a freebie: ie- a free cobbler or cake. Nice perk This locations refrigerated bakery case was broken so I decided to not purchase anything and drive off to Hamilton Rd.

    Arrived at the Gahanna location at 8:20 pm, I'm looking at the website and sitting out front of the restaurant which states it closes in 30 minutes..... but it's already closed. When somebody drives out of their way for dinner and the facility closes early it's very inconvenient for the customer. Not to mention - disappointing

    This place is solid. City BBQ is your usual BBQ type of place - you order a lot of meat, get some sides, find a table, get some sauce, and stuff your face. This place delivers on all levels. The brisket and pulled pork were really nice - voluminous, perfectly spiced, and just darn tasty. The pulled pork was a hair dry as is usually the case, but the sauce fixed that up easy. The sides, such as the cornbread, were equally delicious. There's apparently an app for this place that offers some sort of first time customer discount - I'd check that out before coming, if only for the discount.

    Here we go, a Texas boy eating at a BBQ joint in Ohio. Being a Texas BBQ aficionado, I walked in with lowered expectations and a hint of snobbery and was promptly put in my place. This BBQ is really good! I had a sliced beef brisket sandwich, brisket chili and potato salad. There were quite a few sauces to choose from and I picked the original which as close to my own recipe. The brisket had a nice smoke ring and had just the right amount smoke taste. The brisket chili was especially delicious with layers of taste with just the right amount of heat. Even the potato salad was faultless. I know better than to brag about Ohio BBQ back home in Texas but I will be seeking this place out next time I am in town!

    RESPECT the SMOKE!!!! The BEST food, the best service , the BEST flavor and the BEST fun! This is MY CITY BBQ FAMILY!!!!

    I was introduced to the new menu and asked if I'd like to try something . I purchased a sandwich that was amazing. I would show you a photo of it, but it's gone, it is delicious from every bite and it is NOT a sloppy Joe. Lip smacking goodness, crunchy pickles, crispy onion straws, juicy smoked meats with a sauce that is lit on a warm soft bun! Dine in and get ready to put your feet up. The armpits great here! Try this sandwich, it's NOT your sloppy Joe!

    Immediately walking in to this City Barbeque location I was struck with the uncleanliness of the restaurant and the lack of proper procedures during the pandemic. Not one employee was wearing their mask properly, or at all. It made me feel very uncomfortable throughout my meal while dining in. The food of course was good. City Barbeque does a good job with their smoked meats. I tried something new on this visit, I went with a smoked turkey sandwich and it was good. The meat was not dry, and it was a delicious smoke flavor. Everyone in our group seemed to be happy with their lunch. For me the food was good, but the measure of our entire visit has to also include the protection of their customers and the ambiance.

The place is all atmosphere bustling with servers and clanging in the kitchen. The noise can be a bit intense so if you have children bothered by too much noise that may be a concern. We decided to return to L&G's for my birthday recently after not having been back for awhile. The menu had changed quite a bit, but I remained hopeful. I also noticed that there were now bathrooms in the dining area, and previously you had to walk through the kitchen to get to a restroom. I have to admit I kind of liked taking a look back there and having a good excuse to do so. So cut to present, and the food. We ordered the Pera Noce Salad to start. It was one of the best salads I've ever had. The caramelized pears were delicious and slightly sweet and went perfectly with the port wine vinaigrette. Honestly the salad I would return for any day. I ordered the Rosa cream pasta for my entree. It was very good, but there wasn't much that was exciting about it. It was a well prepared dish, but just didn't have a wow factor. I would definitely go back and try another pasta dish and order the salad again. I do have to point out one thing I found odd. It seemed that they were serving frozen garlic bread. I am no chef, but it seems odd to me. In a place that has built its reputation on delicious freshly made from scratch dishes I feel like there should be a scratch made fresh bread. But I am a sucker for good bread. Other than that I have to say this place is wonderful! Some things to keep in mind if you plan to go are the noise factor, and the very cozy accommodations. It's small guys! But good news...In summer months they do have patio seating!

At first, I scoffed at Schmidt's, and marked it off as a "sausage and kraut" house. I mean, who wants that kind of stuff at their wedding? Well, after a disappointing consultation with one of their other preferred caterers, I decided to give Schmidt's a shot after taking a look at what they offered on their website. I am so glad that we decided to go with Schmidt's! The contract procedure, and getting everything in order went well thanks to Arlene! The only real problem we had was with the linens being pricey, or not being available, and this was like... a week, or two before the wedding, but everything worked out, and we were told by OHS management that our reception was decorated nicer than any previous receptions they had. (Not sure if it was sincere, or not, but it was still nice to hear.) NOW, to the FOOD! We ordered basic cold cut sandwiches, traditional potato salad, a cheese and veggie tray, and some bahama mamas (their signature sausage.) Sadly, I couldn't partake of the bahama mamas due to me being worried of spilling red sauce on my wedding gown. The food was great, and was just what we wanted. It was nice and simple, and everyone left with a full stomach from our early wedding. So am I going to recommend Schmidt's catering? YES, YES, YEESSSS! They were so helpful on one of the most stressful things a bride has to deal with. They also made it work with our small budget for 50+ people. I will warn you, I had to deal with a grumpy fiancee about not having cream puffs instead of wedding cake. Choose wisely!

Everyone RAVED about the food (we actually had a better turn out because we advertised Schmidt's was catering!). There was more than enough food to meet our needs - especially the mini cream puffs! (YUM!) They provided not only the food, but the beer as well - which also received rave reviews! The staff quietly worked in the background to make sure the food was hot and available, as well as cleaning up behind our people as they were socializing. Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with that I felt as though I had made a new friend by the time they left. There is absolutely no question that we will use them when we have our next event!

    Wow! Where do I begin!!…read more I made a reservation for this restaurant after I friend of mine raved about it. Our reservation was at 7:30p and we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our servers name was DJ, she did an impeccable job. Very friendly, answered all of our questions and was very good at her job!) We ordered the Pasta Fritto for an appetizer and it was incredible. Bread service was included with the meal and the garlic bread was good! We both decided to get Alfredo and it was 10/10. Super creamy and rich, noodles were cooked perfectly. We then ordered 3 different desserts and brought them home to try. We got the Cannoli, Tiramisu and Carrot Cake. They're all made in the bakery next door and fresh as can be. The carrot cake was my favorite! I would highly recommend this place! The ambience was quaint and pretty, staff were incredible, food was top notch and the prices were fair. I can't wait to come back!

    Review by :Avila.Eats on TikTok, insta, YouTube…read more Service: wait staff and owner are friendly and attentive. Water was never an issue and all questions were answered thoughtfully. Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is small but well decorated. Spacious although cramped. Nice interior matching the home like exterior. Food: Spaghetti and meatball is alright. The sauce is a strong acid forward sauce and the meatball is tender and well flavored. The noodles were perfectly cooked and it all paired well together. You could take it or leave it. Lasagna was great. Thick layered meaty lasagna perfectly cooked and balanced between all ingredients. Large portion and thankfully so. I'd recommend. Chicken parm was delicious. Crispy well seasoned chicken breast. This is one of the better chicken parm's I've had in central Ohio. Well seasoned and perfectly cheesy. I'd highly recommend. Chicken Marsala was great. Juicy well seasoned chicken breast paired with a Delicious and well executed marsala mushroom sauce. I'm not a fan of risotto but this is was exceptional. I'd recommend. Chocolate espresso cake was good. I could see this being high on the list for a coffee lovers dessert list. Dense chocolate sponge with a delicious espresso frosting. Bread pudding with whiskey sauce was delicious. Soft, warm, well seasoned bread pudding In a delicious cream and whiskey infused sauce. This was the best bread pudding I've had to date. I'd highly recommend. Cannoli was delicious. Crispy shell and a freshly done ricotta mascarpone cream. The cream itself was a cinnamon cream and paired excellently with the chocolate chips. The best cannoli I've had In Ohio. I'd insist on this order. Carrot cake amazing. This is one of the best if not the best carrot cake in central Ohio. Deep orange color and packed with nuts. No raisins but the cream cheese frosting makes up for it with the subtle sweetness. I'd insist on this order.

    Steven's catered my wedding. I heard about them from a friend who uses their services all the time,…read moreand now I definitely understand why. Steven impressed me throughout the process! My first meeting with him was different than with any other caterer: he spoke with me and my mom and was clearly very passionate about the food itself! (Amazingly, I didn't get that vibe from any of the others I met with). We talked through many options and what would be best for the event and the guests coming, during that meeting and afterward, to make sure we had the right menu. I also got to taste test almost everything that I had actually chosen (not just any samples from his menu) and was impressed even with that. One very important thing was the fact that Steven was extremely willing to accommodate dietary issues. I had two friends attending the wedding with severe food allergies (both different ones), and without hesitation, Steven offered to custom make each of them a plate to avoid any cross contamination. No other caterer that I spoke to was willing to do this, but it made all the difference for my friends who were able to enjoy the wedding without worry. Finally, I can't stress enough how good the final results were. I got so many comments during the wedding - even from people who aren't foodies like me and wouldn't normally comment on food - telling me that it was the best and healthiest food they had ever had at a wedding. I would have to agree. It takes a lot to pull that off for a large group of people, but Steven's did it beautifully and very kindly. I would recommend Steven's to anyone!
