Fryways is located in the Polaris food court. You may have heard it called Friedays in the past but…read morethe name changed because TGI fridays was a party pooper. This is such a great establishment. A local small business food truck turned to food stand. They have a stand in the Schottenstein center at OSU as well. The menu has a lot of options. Regular fries if you're feeling plain, but normal chili or chili cheese too. The fun stuff are the ones with several toppings. I ended up going with chicken bacon ranch. Flaming hot out of the grease fries topped with chicken, ranch, bbq , cheese sauce, and bacon....wow they were good. Pro tip: get a small!!! I got a small and still ended up taking half of it home. It's more than enough for 2 people with all the toppings . Overall great establishment, cant wait to go back for more.

Something about it was very classic and I loved it. Very hot and fresh fries with such flavor! We will be back!

I wish them the best of luck with their continued success!##

I don't think they have a physical location but, they are very responsive and quick. If they do have a physical location, I missed it (sorry!) They have a new address coming up in a few weeks. They do catering which is sweet for both young and old. Definitely a treat for all ages! These cakes are so creative and fun! Honestly, they should be more than the price they are charging, seriously. I rarely say that as the Mr. Krabs I am but, seriously, they are charging State Fair prices for gourmet funnel cakes. They should be double if you ask me especially since they are big, shareable, and customizable. Currently, as of yesterday, they wrote, "Don't miss this summers introductory rate for our new trailer! Inquire now!! CarmelConcessions@gmail.com" so you know I have to slide in the DM! Support local businesses! Support Black-owned businesses :)

Operating out of one of two windows at Cypress Kitchen in Franklinton (177 S Cypress), Steph's Way…read moreis a great addition to the neighborhood. It's right across from the Franklinton library branch. Their menu is pretty extensive with lots of staples (Nashville chicken sandwich, burgers, fries, tacos, and wings). We tried wings because they advertised a special for $1.50 per wing on Wednesday night. They have a ton of sauce options. We went with Nashville hot, Steph's Way, and toxic sauce for the cauliflower bites. Portions were fantastic for the price. The Nashville hot was my favorite. Not too hot with just enough kick. The Steph's Way was a bit salty, but had a nice lemony flavor. All wing meat was cooked perfectly. Food is cooked to order and they will text you when ready. I can't wait to come back to try their other sauces and menu items.

As messy as the Italian sausage looks, it stayed in tack and for those who like spicy foods, the Italian sausage was spicy! But not overpowering, which is a good thing. The fries were also great! I ate them with a side of BBQ sauce (which is typically my go to). I will be back! I would recommend calling ahead to order!

El Rinconcito Criollo isn't just serving food--it's serving memories.

We promptly picked up a tub of their spicy guacamole (they also have original and unique flavors that include Greek-style - Opamole - and jalapeno cream - Locomole) and a bag of their flavorful taco chips. The friendly staff working told us that they usually sample with their regular chips, but the combo of the taco chips and spicy guacamole was terrific. We will definitely be watching for the Guac Shop again!

I got the large bento: rice, your choice of meatballs (beef, turkey, or vegan,) some pickled veggies, crispy wontons, and a choice of noodles or slaw. Also a pickled egg. I was hungry, and this filled me up- and tasted better than most options here. It was all good, and I particularly liked the meatballs in teriyaki, the slaw, and the egg. Place had one of the shortest lines. Service was super friendly and fast. The big box is $25, but that's for a load of good food at a sports arena, so not bad.

I had my first experience with Blu Olive yesterday and I can promise you it won't be my last. Right…read moreoff the bat I was greeted kindly and given the run down that everything is made fresh and that it's all delicious so you really can't go wrong. You can pick from an array of sandwiches, all reasonably priced between $6-$8 or you can build your own salad or pasta. There are also side options including breadsticks, pepperoni sticks, chips, or a side salad. I opted for a chicken sandwich. It comes with grilled chicken, mozzarella, and topped with Alfredo sauce. You can also add two veggies to your sandwich. I went with spinach and the hot homemade giardiniera. To be frank - the sandwich is MASSIVE. And it smelled incredible. The bun was toasted and buttered, adding another layer of delicousness to the sandwich. The chicken was slightly dry, but with everything else added to it, it didn't take away from the flavor. The giardiniera is NOT to be missed - a really spicy, crunchy kick to round out the richness of everything else. If you're looking to try Blu Olive, they put up their schedule on Facebook, making it easy to find them wherever they are. They're absolutely worth a shot!

It was a nice big meal, perfect for sharing tastes. It was a big juicy burger, perfectly cooked, with a great combo of toppings. The wedges were perfectly cooked with a great texture and flavor - really nice seasoning on the outside. It came with both ketchup packets and a little cup of white sauce for dipping. The friendly staff person also included a free bottle of water, which was very thoughtful on a hot evening! We would love to try some more dishes in the future!
