I visited sweltering Columbus and one of my stops was the Flatiron Tavern. It was in a very old building and had that old Tavern like ambiance. I ordered the "Philly Cheesesteak" and since I often review this delicacy I was excited. The bread was nice and warm, the steak was more "chunks" than what would find in Philly. You can also order your ingredients which is not usually an option. Overall it was good. I also had "onion petals" which was a highlight. It was the Tavern's version of onion rings and pretty good. Service was very friendly and fast. Nice lunch spot.

I was in the area for a Crew game, I really wanted this place to be good. However It was just ok. Cheese for the Nachos was barely warm, and the sandwiches were just ok, needed seasoning, The wings looked good, I wished I would have gotten them instead. It does have good cold beer.

Delicious! Perfect location if you are walking around downtown Columbus. AND just the right amount of Browns memorabilia...GO BROWNS and fresh cut fries, I'm a sucker for fresh not frozen!

The patty melt with cheddar cheese and onion petals
Kyle P.

I enjoyed the Flatiron Tavern because of the history and was closed briefly before it came back in business. I had the Patty Melt with Cheddar with Onion Pedals awhich was worth paying a little more than getting Lays chips and a Diet Coke. One person at my table had the Italian Sausage which was a little spicy and onion pedals, while two others had the Smash Burger with cheese and Fries. I enjoyed my Patty Melt and Onion Pedals with horseradish sauce. Next time, I will get The Flatiron Cuban sandwich and Onion Pedals and they have their own Philly sandwiches too. Please check out The Flatiron Tavern and there is outdoor seating for warmer weather months.

Blue Line Burger, House Fries, and a Kraken Punch
Kari S.

Located on Nationwide Dr near the convention center, there is a shared parking lot in the back. The building is long and skinny, seating is a premium. There is not enough space to accommodate large groups, and you can't combine tables because of fire code in the space available. There is 1 round table that seats 5, a handful of rectangle tables that seat 4, 3 top tables near the bar, and seating along the bar. There is also limited seating outside. We arrived around 11 and there was a lot of available seating. Initially the bartender assisted us and she was friendly and accommodating. However, she forgot ours and several tables drink orders and when the waiter took over, he had to rush around to catch up. Both were super pleasant and helpful, just seemed a bit overwhelmed even tho the place was more empty than full. We ordered a build your own cheesesteak and the blue line blackened burger. Both were cooked well and really delicious. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the blue cheese sauce was yummy. The fries were good, but the star was the tater tots. I also had a Kraken Punch (rum punch) and it was so good. Overall, the experience was great.

Mac & Cheese
Aquilla M.

If you're looking for some of the best wings in Columbus, look no further. Found this place online after a quick search for wings. The wings were so good, I actually went back a second time in less than a week. The vibes were typical bar vibes, the service was better the second visit but the food was great both times. We tried the Mac n Cheese, wasn't bad at all but nothing that I'd order again. The wings are what I went for and I'd recommend those as a 10/10!

Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak
Mallory L.

I came here specifically to try the cheesesteak because everyone raved about it and I.... just do not get it. It tasted like boiled unseasoned beef and didn't have nearly enough cheese and the bread was crumbly and lacking taste. Even the side of onion petals was burnt (not crispy, I mean burnt and they tasted like carbon). At least the server was nice and the playlist was good. We won't be coming back however.

We here for lunch! This place is cool! They have pool tabs! Fun place. They have good music playing in the. Restaurant. The food is great. The waitress was very friendly and gave us food suggestions.

An incredible cheesesteak with ribeye, cheddar cheese sauce, peppers, and mushrooms. I highly recommend this spot!
Kat S.

Came here before a concert (we're out of towners) and made a reservation, which was unnecessary but was reassuring. There were great happy houe specials; I believe my well vodka cranberry was $4.50, and many of the apps were discounted. We had the marinara sticks, which were piping hot, melty, and seasoned well. The vibe is very much a total dive bar (complimentary!!!!!) and I am a fan of anyplace where you can see your food grilled before your eyes... it's kind of like foreplay. I loved the way you can customize the cheesesteaks. I got the ribeye with cheddar cheese sauce (definitely not spray cheese), mushrooms, bell peppers, and banana peppers. It is probably in my top 5 cheesesteaks of all time. Fries were salty and crispy but not oily. If I lived here I'd be a regular. If you're fortunate enough to be local, please go! These types of places are a dying breed. No pretentiousness, no frills, no BS.

Club sandwich and fries
Amy R.

Visiting from Cali and stopped here for lunch. I had the club sandwich which had a kick with the chipotle aioli. Delicious with fried ham! My husband had the avocado blt but the show stopper was the onion petals! Would recommend!

Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak Parmesan Tavern Chicken Wings Quesadillas
Roland S.

Philly cheesesteak was 8/10. Nothing to brag about, but good. The onion slivers were a hit 9/10. Parmesan wings were good too, 9/10. The quesadillas were ok, 7/10. Service was good. Food took a little while, but the beers came fast. Place is in an historical building and looks really nice inside. Good place to hit up to watch the games or grab some grub.

The only good thing was the Philly sandwich. Fries were terrible. Place has potential but definitely wouldn't go back.

On a Saturday night it was pretty packed at R Bar past 10 pm. But we found two seats at the large…read morecircle bar and our order was taken under 10 minutes upon arrival. We just ordered some cocktails and an appetizer of potato skins. The potato skins came out in a timely manner and was steamy and fresh. Nice portion of real bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese. Accompanied with a pile of jalapenos which I really appreciated. Served with one small pack of sour cream... I had to ask for another it only sufficed 3 skins. I do love me some ranch with potato skins but I didn't ask so that's on me. Tito's redbull was 10$ and the potato skins were 14$. I would stop in for a drink to catch up with friends.

We came in before a Blue Jackets game. We got here pretty early. My husband ordered mozzarella…read moresticks- they were just ok. Let me tell you about our bartender, Ryan! He was amazing!! He didn't let us have an empty glass and made sure our food came out hot. This absolutely IS a game joint! It's loud! Increasingly louder closer to game time!!If you come 1-2 hours before or directly after the game, you may not get things off the menu and you may have to go to the bar and get your own drinks. We had a great time here though. Know what you're heading in to and enjoy it!! Go Jackets!!
