    Brisket baked beans
    Samantha C.

    First time eating in the restaurant. When we got inside, we were honestly lost! We didn't know if someone was going to seat us, or if we order at the counter. We waited about 5 mins confused, then I approached an employee. They then told us we have to order off the screen above. We asked if they had menus, they said no. We didnt feel welcomed at all. So we ordered our food, sat down and waited. Once we got our food, we were not satisfied with everything. Paying over 70$ for our food, I expected it to be Hot and juicy. My brisket was cold, I had to dip it in my beans (which were super good) to get it atleast warm. The collards were not done at all, so I switched out sides. All in all it was an ok experience, but not feeling welcomed in someone's establishment sucks.

    Sausage sandwich and fries
    Brian K.

    This Friday night we went to the grove city, (city bbq.) the place was a little busy, we waited in line like 10 minutes, cause they only had one register open. I order the sausage sandwich that comes with 2x sausages that is topped with slaw , and I ordered a order of fries, my wife ordered pulled pork and hush puppies. The food took like 15-20 minutes since the staff was more worried about the carry out orders more than the customers dining in. Once the order was ready they shorted me the hush puppies, and the fries were under cooked and limp, so I told them I wanted them to recook them. It took another 5 minutes. My wife said her sandwich was barely warm. Not the best experience.

    Pulled pork sandwich with charred fat, ugh
    Sherrie B.

    Ordered dinner for my family from GC City BBQ tonight, so disappointing. The boys opted for ribs but I got my usual, the pulled pork sandwich. As you can see, I couldn't even eat half off it. It had a large piece of fat that was charred on one side, and most of what was left was cooked so long it was hard & dry. Why would anyone put this on a sandwich, poor quality/service. Thinking I'll no longer order from them, scared of what what I might get. Feel like tonight's dinner was a total waste of money. Really bummed, GC needs some good places to eat.

    Have been here a few time and visited on Sunday at noon. This visit was fantastic. I got pulled chicken and the bun was over flowing with chicken, yummy. Wife ordered the brisket and she said it was awesome. I noticed condiments were back out for customers to help themselves. What a joy back to normal. This is a must try place. Fries hot and delicious !

    Consistent food. Service is hot or miss. Definitely better barbecue in the city, but you know what you're getting and we visit fairly often.

    This is some very yummy food. Small business big taste…read more You could almost miss it driving by. It's a little back from the street, a little closed down for winter. You walk in the door and it smells just like heaven if heaven was an amazing barbecue place. Keep walking forward and you can enjoy the historic walls and wood floors and when you get to the counter, they know all the stuff. You can try your stuff, but if you need some advice, they got some good ones. We got a sampler, drums, and a brisket sandwich. They have some delicious barbecue options from spicy to very velvet, smooth and sweet to the Kansas City mustard style. The people were friendly they were efficient. They got us exactly what we ordered, the service was great. The price wasn't too bad either Certainly willing to return here. This is some yummy stuff.

    This excellent BBQ restaurant is located in the German village area of Columbus, Ohio…read more The portions are substantial. I visited with a friend for lunch, purchased the recommended selection, and we sat down to eat. and boy did we eat! But, despite my best efforts, I was not able to vanquish all the food that was on my plate. Wow. I placed all the leftovers in it to go box and it made two meals for later, I was quite surprised. The food here is delicious and I found it to be quite the bargain. Definitely coming back for more. There are lots of barbecue restaurants in Columbus, but Smoked On High truly stands out as exceptional.

    I Doordashed Siam Hibachi as I was craving some hibachi. I liked that their menu offers other items…read morelike some thai and chinese food. I ordered the thai spring rolls, thai wonton soup, steak hibachi, and fried bananas. Sadly this was below my expectations and I ended up throwing away half the food. Let's start with the positives. The hibachi was okay. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor but the portion size was large enough for leftovers and the steak was tender. The thai spring rolls were alright but I have had better. Again, they weren't very flavorful. This may be that the wonton soup was a thai version, but the flavor was awful. I had a spponful of the broth and had to throw it out. It was so disgusting. The fried bananas were brown and really squishy. They weren't appetizing after the disappointment from the rest of the meal. Later that evening my stomach also started hurting.

    So Mark and I tried a new to us restaurant this afternoon…read more.. It's primarily a Thai / Hibachi carry out, with 5 tables. You order and pay at the kiosk and wait for them to bring it out to you. Our food took about 8 to 10 minutes. It looks clean inside, is brightly lit and the staff are very friendly and polite. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai which was quite delicious, one of the better versions in town. I counted 8 large shrimp covered by both thin and medium wide noodles which was odd and made it a little heavier but it worked for me on a certain level. The flavors were spot on Thai with that delicious mix of sweet, sour and salty. My only suggestion would be to get a little more scrambled egg and bean sprouts to lighten the heaviness of the rice noodles. My main sticking point is that they apparently don't offer lunch portions. The portions are dinner sized @ $17.99 but it's just far too much food for me and I'm not a fan of leftovers. Add a mini Pepsi @ $2.50 and tax and I had a nearly $21 lunch at a strip mall carryout? Ouch! There's a lot of positives that work well for others but the lack of a lunch portion will probably keep me away so... 4 Stars
