Delightful atmosphere. I like that it has an history of being an old car dealership, reinvented to a comfortable dining experience. I was greeted quickly at the front door. I chose to sit outside where there was a perfect view of the street for people watching. Bella was my waitress and she super informative and happy. I had her surprise me and she brought me the ravioli, which was a spectacular choice...thank you Bella! I would definitely return. Enjoy your meal and have a great experience! read more

I've been to Hubbard Grille a few times now and it's easily one of my go-to spots in the Short North, especially for happy hour. Their happy hour is so good. You can get apps, flatbreads and drinks all around that $5-$6 range, which honestly feels rare for how nice the space is. It's the perfect place to go with a group because you can order a bunch of things and try everything without spending a ton. The parmesan truffle fries are my favorite every single time. I always end up ordering them no matter what else I get. Also have to mention their patio because it's such a good vibe when it's warm out. It's right in the middle of everything, so it's perfect for people watching and just makes the whole experience even better. read more

Hubbard Grille - Truffle Parmesan Frie - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Hubbard Grille is one of the best spots for happy hour in the Short North! Their $5 happy hour is incredible; $5 apps, $5 flatbreads, & $5 drinks! The weekday deals are just as good; my favorite is Sliders Night on Thursday's where you get 2 sliders and fries for only $10! The service here is always excellent & I love the vibes! The brussels are a must; and it's hard to pass up on a $10 bottle of wine deal! I got the fried chicken sliders and the parm truffle fries, and they were delicious! You need to stop by soon! read more

Visited Hubbard for happy hour on the patio. Grabbed a couple of drinks and a quick bite to eat. Ambiance is very nice, the drinks and food are also pretty solid. The bill had already been printed before we were asked if we would like to order anything else, I just felt that was a bit odd. Other than that, I cannot complain, was a nice time on the patio. read more

Quiet clean nice ambiance. Great friendly service, and the food was great. I got the short rib hash, and it was a hefty portion, but delicious my only complaint is that the photo showed a fried egg and I was given scrambled. No one asked how I would like the egg cooked so I just assumed it would come out with a fried egg so maybe that was my mistake but just make sure you ask for what type of egg you would like on it. My sister got the harvest salad with chicken and a side of sweet potato fries healthy and yummy but said that it was mostly kale and could use a little bit more veggies and nuts on the top but the dressing is really nice. All in all a good experience and we would return. read more

Hubbard grille was recommended by a friend when I was visiting Columbus for a conference. Lively crowd on a Wednesday evening! Shared the calamari and brussel sprouts for appetizers. Both were standard, the sprouts did have a nice crunch which I appreciated. I had the porkchop for dinner. Personally I felt it was a bit overcooked and a little tough. The flavor of the dish was good. Service was on the slower end, especially as we were looking to wrap up and head to another event. read more

Hubbard Grill really did its thing. I went during happy hour and started with the jalapeño cornbread, which was perfectly sweet with just enough heat. Super soft, super flavorful, and honestly addicting. I also had the short rib flatbread and that was the star for me. The short rib was tender, rich, and packed with flavor, and everything on the flatbread worked so well together without being too heavy. It felt like comfort food but elevated. Definitely a solid spot for happy hour or a casual dinner where you still want good quality food. I'd absolutely go back. I sat at the bar, which gets you really quick service and unfortunately I didn't get a picture of my food as I was there on my work break, but I'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for a drink at the end of the night and were easily able to find seats at the bar. The service was quick and the menu had lots of options to enjoy. Everyone opted for a different craft cocktail. I choose the old fashioned which was a little watered down but others enjoyed the espresso martini and the old fashioned made with tequila. read more

Love their happy hour! Great $5 drinks and bites. The servings are generous especially for the price.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. We were the only table with a couple people at the bar. We ordered the $10 jalapeño cornbread. It was cold, which I don't believe it should have been. It was 2 super small pieces of bread. Flavor was good but definitely a terrible value for the amount. I ordered the classic burger with bacon and fries. It was good. My gf got a flatbread and Brussel sprouts. The sprouts were good but the pizza lacked much flavor. The service was slow and for the $$, I'd probably go someplace else. Unfortunately the entire experience was a let down! read more

Very pleasant experience. Went for restaurant week (2024) with friends. Drinks- long Island 3/5. Flavor not good, not strong. Garden of roses 4/5. Delicious, very floral and refreshing. Recommend for a dinner drink. Cherry fizz- 3/5 delicious in flavor, tastes like a cherry coke. but way more ice than liquid. It Also didn't feel like there was much liquor. But it could be because the liquor was flavored. Apps- fries were deficits and crispy. Buffalo Flatbread was good. Very hot sauce forward, which I appreciate but could benefit from blue cheese. Chef feature soup was delicious ! It's not on the menu but should be added. It had Ham, white & butter beans and was served with the Jalapeno cornbread (also great). It was Tuesday so I got the fried chicken special. $10 for 2 pieces of chicken, grits and Brussels. Friends got the salmon. Desserts- apple upside Overall, great ambience & good food. I look forward to returning for other weekly specials and happy hour. read more

We had a good time at Hubbard grille! The food was very good and the service was quick. We got a reservation last minute and the restaurant was quite busy!

Great Happy Hour!! Drinks were great , 2 glasses of wine for $12 might as well buy the bottle for $12.. Food was delicious

Every time I have been there, I have enjoyed different foods every time. Appetizer, Entrée, Dessert.

Hubbard Grille is very okay. We stopped by on a Thursday night for their slider special. It's kinda confusing because they only have fried chicken slides on their normal menu. The special is $10 for two sliders and fries. You're supposed to pick from fried chicken, beef, or veggie. When we asked, we were told it's cheeseburgers, chicken, or veggie. We did one order of chicken, the other of cheese burgers, and then one app of brussel sprouts since it was HH and they were $5. The brussel sprouts were pretty bland. The glaze/sauce sunk to the bottom of the bowl. When the sliders came out, they were kinda sad. The cheeseburger was just a normal patty, cut in to four. Pretty small. The chicken was a small chicken tender. The chicken was dry. So with the bun and meat, we were needing to take sips of water in between. The fries were good! They came with two each. I know they're only $10, but it just wasn't very good. I would rather go get a chicken sandwich for $6 across the street during HH at the Eagle. We sat at the bar and at times had difficulty getting our waitresses attention. All the servers were chatting in the corner most of the time. She also was not very friendly. Overall I don't think I would be back, or for happy hour at least. They have a beautiful patio so I could see myself coming here with friends to enjoy that. read more

It was my birthday and I sat at the bar. I literally had to try to get the bartender's attention for everything: my first glass of wine; to order my dinner; to try and get a second glass of wine; to get a box so I could finally leave. She spent all of her time talking with her coworkers, on her phone and eventually chatting up a couple of guests who came in a full hour after me. I literally had to lightweight yell at her "it's my birthday, I need to go", which I don't think she heard, just to get her to process my card. It was awful. And it's a shame. Not only was it my birthday, I live really close and now I won't go back. read more

I went here for happy hour with a friend on Sunday. This was my first time trying the food here and it was phenomenal. Finally....truffle fries that actually taste like truffle! And the goat cheese dip was decadent paired with the $10 bottles of wine. Service was also great, the team was extremely welcoming for our first time. Overall, the ambiance is great, it's very spacious and would be a great date night spot. read more

My first time here! I had a reservation and was seated immediately (not too busy at 5:30 pm so a reservation wasn't necessary) Server Brianna was sweet and made a few suggestions but I was there for the "famous fried chicken " Presentation Fried Chicken "Meh. I'm not impressed so far" The leg tasted and smelled like the grease needed to be changed. The fry was on point the crispy crunch was there Grits were delicious Brussels good Overall great value for the price and I'll come back to try the Flatbread Pizza or the Burger Great atmosphere Our All Natural Fried Chicken is only $10 all night! It's housemade and served with white cheddar grits, crispy Brussels sprouts, and black pepper gravy. Please allow a few extra minutes when ordering Jalapeño Corn Bread 10 baked fresh daily; served with maple honey butter HG Crispy Brussels Sprouts 10 the Hubbard classic - crispy sprouts, red wine reduction https://www.hubbardgrille.com/ read more

Absolutely delicious, and I almost feel bad that they lost money on me. Almost... Came in on a Tuesday for dinner and sat at the bar. Bartender said the fried chicken was sooooo good, so I had to try it. It was absolutely delicious! Breading was flavorful, chicken was moist. Brussels were devine and although I don't know a grit from a writ, these were good. Washed everything down with a local IPA. The beer cost me $8, the dinner $10 as it was the weekly special. read more

Hubbard Grille - $10 fried chicken. Delicious! - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Very friendly service, waiter and hostess were very cordial. It's preferred to have a reservation when it is busy but we were seated immediately regardless. Went in a Saturday afternoon around 5:30pm so it was busy but that did not affect the service! Seating was a bit cramped, but the environment is very enjoyable/upscale bar feeling. Waiter was very tentative to our table, appetizer was out within 10 mins of ordering as were the entrees. (French fries were exceptionally good here) I ordered a cheesesteak sandwich, calamari for starters and my wife had the chicken Caesar wrap. Would go again! read more

One of the best happy hours in Columbus. The staff are also so accommodating. A friend was late and they still gave her happy hour deals. There's usually a special for sliders during happy hour which are very good. I love the central location and it's a great spot to go before going out! read more

Went for a couple beers and dinner. I had a burger and truffle fries. The burger was yummy and the truffle fries never disappoint!

Hubbard Grille - Burger and truffle fries - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Not sure if this is Elite-exclusive, but if you check in here on Yelp, you'll receive a $10 off $40 coupon! This time, I ordered the pasta rosa again, and my partner ordered the goat cheese ravioli. (Note: I forgot to specify, but my previous picture of the pasta rosa is only a 1/3 portion; the server kindly had the kitchen plate the dish in portions since she knew we were sharing. Thanks Robin!) The pasta rosa was once again amazing, and the goat cheese ravioli was just as great if not better. It was savory, sweet, tangy, and just perfect. We also ordered Protea white wine, which was also delicious and a perfect complement to the food. Additionally, the women's restroom is so clean and has a basket of free menstrual products, which I think says a lot about the restaurant and their care for the customer. This may be on the pricier side, but it is worth the quality of the food and experience. read more

Definitely enjoyed our visit and will be returning soon prior to our departure from such a cute town. read more

Reservations recommended as this isn't the largest of restaurants. They have some dining tables and an updstairs area. There is also a bar. Once it gets crowded it gets loud in there. Our service was very slow. Thank goodness we gave ourselves plenty of time because we were in there for about 2 hours from slow service. The waitress gave us the wrong bill and we had to wait a bit to track her down to get it fixed. She was very apologetic and got us squared away. The food is on the expensive side and not very large portions. Overall this was just okay. read more

I stopped by on a weekend in Columbus and ended up having one of the best nights out I've had in a while. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was great, and the drinks were next level. The blonde bartender (didn't catch her name, but she deserves a raise!) was incredibly friendly and knew exactly what she was doing -- she mixed up a custom cocktail for me, which she called her Mini Special, that was honestly better than anything on the menu! You can tell she loves what she does and takes pride in making sure everyone feels welcome. Between the great service, amazing drinks, and relaxed vibe, this place is an easy 5/5. Definitely coming back! read more

Beautiful restaurant, very good service not excellent when you have to ask for a spoon for coffee w/ cream), the food needs some work. I have to be honest I was a little leery when I walked up to the door and saw only two other people in the restaurant when all the other restaurants in the area were packed Anyway, I met my nephew there today for lunch. He had the brussels sprouts and pepperoni flatbread (which looked anemic to me) I had asparagus, mac & cheese, and sweet potato fries. To be quite honest, I had to bring everything home to reheat/crisp up (except the asparagus.) overall not a bad experience, but not one that I could highly recommend without some serious work on presenting quality food. read more

This restaurant is really nice on the inside but the menu/pricing is whack. We came for dinner. The two small slices of jalapeño cornbread were $10 which is pretty insane. My husband got a burger which was ok in flavor but mostly cheese. I ordered the hanger steak meal and two lavender gaze alcoholic beverages. First off, all portions were lunch size for dinner pricing. The steak was so gross. It was tough with no flavor. It really didn't taste like steak at all Hanger steak is a cheaper cut than sirloin and after some research it's like the cheapest cut of steak you can buy. Based on the pricing and the look of the restaurant, I never imagined this would be on the menu. I ordered med well but received medium rare. Mashed potatoes and Brussels were good but not very flavorful. Drinks were not impressive either. Service was slow. We were there for over an hour and a half when it was not busy. I had such high hopes for this restaurant after a long busy workday. Not sure if it was just an off night for the cooks/wait staff. Either way we won't be coming back. If you visit this place I hope you have a better experience. Oh and it's super weird that all of the hosts are blonde. We couldn't help but notice the hiring manager must have a specific type they like. Just didn't seem very inclusive. I probably wouldn't have noticed that if the food and service were better. read more

Hubbard Grille - Jalapeño Corn Bread - New American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

It has been years since I've been to the Hubbard Grille. My friends and I were in the Short North on Friday evening late and we were happy to get a seat here. Our waiter was great, but very busy with lots of tables having recently been sat. We started with Brussels sprouts, because that's what I remember as being their big hit, and they were good, but with lots of sauce, maybe a bit too much. There aren't tons of GF veggie options, so I got a veggie burger wrapped in lettuce, and it was pretty good. My friends liked the chicken sliders and ravioli. Overall it was a good time, and the food was pretty good too, I'm glad to see it hasn't changed much over the years and the quality has held up. read more

We went during peak time on a weekend . I think they were short staffed but the hostess made temporary seating arrangements by the bar and moved us to a table later on.

posting my review from google here as well. the brunette bartender (zoe?) has a nasty attitude and was too busy talking to her friends to help me the last 2 times I was there. i'm still giving 4 stars though because the service i received tonight was actually exemplary. christina was very sweet and personable and was able to speak confidently about what would and wouldn't work with my dietary restrictions and joey made the best espresso martini i have had in this city to date! cheers to the two of them! i'll be back for them and the burger, yum. please make your fries gluten free though! read more

Okay, so Hubbard has existed for a long time. I've been here through variations of their menu of the years. I've been to events, dates, bachelor dinners, and birthday dinners here. First and foremost, their service has been good. Maybe once I had a bad experience years ago, just enough that I can barely recall it. Most recently sat at the bar, post-covid, still with the barriers, and the two bartenders working were on point. Fast, attentive, and - lets be clear - they were getting busy and they were able to be fast, friendly, chatty and WELCOMING. It was great to have a drink and relax while I waited for my date. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, expecting a few minutes of delivery. They were out FAST. The red wine cooked with it - it looked like it would have a stronger flavor, but it was absolutely delicious. The problem was the entrees. Fried chicken and pork chops. The dishes were just inconsistent in their seasoning, with each bite either being overpowering (the kale was either mild or spicy, the grits, bland or cheesy) or just lacking in flavor. All in all, for the price and expectations of Hubbard, it is a miss. Did I choice the wrong entrees? Perhaps. But it's hard to say I should come back more often when the entrees are such a miss! It's on the books for appetizers and drinks, dinner will be sought out elsewhere in the area next time. read more

We stopped by for happy hour and found ourselves very underwhelmed with Hubbard Grille. We snagged two seats at the bar, and were not even acknowledged by anyone for about 5 minutes. When we placed our orders, the bartender immediately got my draft beer, but then acted like he didn't even hear my SO's cocktail order, continuing to make other drinks, run to the kitchen, etc before coming back again to ask if she made up her mind...after she already ordered. Next, the place was so noisy that we could barely hear each other. The brick and tile floors project all of the conversation to the point of even overshadowing the music. When we asked for the check, our server rang it up wrong and we had to remind him that our drinks should have been at the happy hour price, after already having to remind about happy hour when we got there. Needless to say, we left before even finishing our drinks and right about that time the bartender, trying to be overtly fancy, shattered a wine glass in mid-air on accident right over the bar top -- then didn't ask anyone if the shattered glass got in their drinks / on them -- he just laughed about it. Will definitely not come back solely for happy hour drinks at the bar, but may give it a shot to try the food. read more
