    The "Buckeye Favorite"
    DJ R.

    One thing we love to do when we travel is go where the locals go and eat where the locals eat and we're glad this spot was down the street from our AirBnB. We had the Buckeye's Favorite pizza and man was it good. Highly recommended. One thing about going to local spots is sometimes you may not feel very welcome if the place packed with regulars but we were not only greeted with a warm welcome the locals didn't look at us like had the audacity! Like most if not all joints in OH, specially in this area this is Ohio State bar and it shows. The place is rich in history and just what a local watering hole should be complete without outdoor areas and live music. We'll definitely be back.

    Breakfast burrito
    Adam N.

    Great, hidden gem for breakfast. Not very busy around 10:15-10:30am on a Saturday. There was a large group of 10+ who looked like regulars but the place was not that loud. They have a simplistic breakfast menu but what they had brought out looked and tasted good. I had the breakfast burrito with bologna (who does this?), my wife had the breakfast bowl and our two friends had the breakfast platters. They fried and diced the bologna before putting it in the burrito which added a nice crunch texture. The price was very adorable and the portion size was just right. The waitress was very attentive and stopped by multiple times to check on us and make sure our drinks were filled up. I will be back when we're in the area and looking for breakfast or brunch.

    Live music Friday!!!!

    Dive bar with incredible food. Reminds me of a bar you'd stumble upon while at the beach. Bartenders were friendly and the locals loved to chat. Nice outdoor patio too and live music.

    Kind of a dive bar but in a cool way... The exterior of the building looks a tad sketchy and during the day on Sunday it is kinda of weird because the back half of the building is empty... BUT I will tell you the service was spot on. The pizza was awesome and the antipasto salad was delicious. Plus the beer is cold... This place is worth a visit so don't let the building fool you.

    Potato Skins
    Jacob S.

    Stopped in for trivia night on Saturday. It was crowded. First time here, it was not what I was expecting, the separate areas was pretty cool; however, it was pretty small overall. We had to first find a seat at the bar, which was tight. Finally a table opened up. We were seated in a small booth. Our waitress was there to take our drink order. We stared with the potato skins. These things are amazing! Full size skins, filled with a great bacon filled cheesy filling. A side of sour cream and salsa and these were mind blowing! Great flavor, and great portion size. For dinner we had the pizza but changed to white sauce. The dough here was great as it was not a thin crust but wasn't overly thick. It had a great flavor and a wonderful crunch! The toppings were plentiful and there was a great amount of cheese. Aside from the cramped atmosphere, this was a good choice for an appetizer and pizza!

    Pretzel bites with cheese dip. The pretzels were lightly salted and the cheese dip was great!
    Joe C.

    This review is based solely on the food which I ordered during the week for lunch so I can't comment on how the party atmosphere is here on the weekends. I will say this place has been in business for over 40 years and the inside does look worn down, but they do have decent TVs. They have their own parking lot. As for the food I thoroughly enjoyed the three items I tried which were pretzel bites with cheese, boneless spicy bbq wings, and a small pepperoni pizza. The wings weren't overly spicy, but still had good flavor. The pizza had a nice crispy crust and a bit of a sweeter sauce. Loved the crispy pepperonis. Pretzel bites were lightly salted and the cheese dip was great. Definitely recommend this place for lunch!

    Pizza - so good!

    Dive bar with good food, live music, great outdoor space, and a really nice wait staff! Went on Tuesday night, 9/3. Beautiful night to be hanging out in their outdoor space. Volleyball league was going on and live music on the patio. Pizza was excellent & beer was cold! Jen (waitress) was amazing!!! Fun Tuesday night!

    Entrance to bar

    Eaten here several times. We're not from the area but so fat this is the best pizza we've had in columbus. Looks like a dive from the outside, but it is clean and service is good.

    Gin and Tonic
    Deanna C.

    I came here on a Wednesday night with some friends for a few drinks. The place wasn't too busy for 6pm but there was enough of a crowd that you could tell they had regulars. I arrived after the rest of my party and was addressed about 5 minutes later for my drink order. I ordered a gin and tonic, the rest of my party ordered beers. There was nothing special about the gin and tonic but it was a good classic one. While I did not order any food, two people at my table split a pizza. I have to say that it looked delicious and I would probably order one next time I stop in!

    40 years and counting and still going strong

    Food was excellent as always but our server must have been having a BAD day and unfortunately took it out on us. It took almost an hour to place our food order and the bartender actually came out and took our food order. We understand that weekends are busy but an hour to place a good order is a little crazy. We have been here before and not had this issue (when they were a lot busier) so I am not sure the problem. Good food and a great atmosphere but something was out of whack tonight with the service !

They are located in a strip mall with lots of parking and really nice outdoor seating. Their patio might be the nicest I've ever seen. It is well shaded with fans running to keep you cool. We decided it was too hot though and headed inside. The inside of Crazee Mule is just as nice. It's dark and the place is massive! I bet this place is hopping on the weekends. They have a stage for live music, a DJ booth, tons of tables and seating, dart boards and Keno, as well as another room with at least 8 pool tables and a separate bar. It's quite impressive. But we were there for food, and the bartender was also serving as the waitress; she came right over and was so sweet and attentive. She gave us some recommendations; for an appetizer she suggested the cheeseburger rolls and she assured us that the Sticky Mule Burger, that has peanut butter as a topping, was amazing. We ordered both items as well as my hubby getting the Mushroom & Swiss burger for himself. The food came right out and all of it was delicious! I was a little nervous about the peanut butter but it was subtle and complimented the other condiments well. Their fries are hand made and crispy with no need for ketchup. Overall, this was a great lunch spot and we will definitely be back to try other menu items that caught our eye!

    Food was outstanding. Highly recommend trying the cheeseburger rolls, interesting but it works…read more Staff was helpful in figuring out what I wanted to order and was quick. Quiet and good vibes, looks like they have a stage for music too if that's what you're into. I will be going back!

The layout features a dedicated bar section and a separate dining area, plus they offer outdoor seating for warmer weather. Since it was quiet when we arrived, we were told we could sit anywhere. We chose a booth, though I did notice the seats were a little dirty and the side of the table was sticky. However, our server was very sweet and friendly. Our food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering, and the portion sizes were very generous. We were a party of 3 and ended up ordering the Cheeseburger, which came with fries and coleslaw (I definitely recommend this), Cajun Melt, which comes with fries but I substituted it with sweet potato fries (note: there is an extra cost for substitutions). Also, we ordered the Cheese Steak, which also came with fries and coleslaw. Everything tasted great. I really can't complain about the food. If you are in the downtown Gahanna area and looking for a casual spot with good food, definitely check this place out.

I got the chicken Philly and would not get it again because it is grilled chicken slices on a sub. I felt like I was eating very dry sliced chicken for the most part.

My other daughter got the kids grilled cheese and gave 2 thumbs up! Ticket time is excellent as we were here for maybe 10 minutes and everyone had their food even with a super crowded restaurant! As for the drinks, the beer was cold and the mixed drinks were strong.
