The BEST place! A large menu with great priced options. Portions are larger, and the food is great!

Easily the worst service I've ever had in my entire life. Or maybe I should say the lack of. Stood at the host's booth for about 10 minutes before deciding to seat ourselves. After sitting there for a bit, we decided to go up to the bar to try and see if someone would be able to come take our order. After blatantly being ignored by multiple bartenders, we decided to leave and are never to return. read more

This place is top notch for its atmosphere. Low key, chill and a varied and well done drink menu. Their own brew is pretty solid as well, though not the best. Brunch here is the best. Things like corn beef hash, chicken and waffles and a great Bloody Mary bar. Lunch and dinner fare are good, but nothing too crazy. It's perfect for an inexpensive meal out with a good drink. I will say the service is either spectacular or absolutely awful. There's little to no middle ground. Restaurant work and retail work is tough. I've done it 8 years myself. But half the staff can be tough to endure at times. But when it's good, it's great. I know criticism is hard. It's never fun. But whenever we've had an issue, maybe just 2 or 3 times, but it's always as if we've directly attacked their character. Just know we want this place to succeed! We aren't mad at you personally! We love it here, we want it to grow. Like I said, when service is good, it's phenomenal. The other 50% of that could make or break this place read more

Don't go there unless you want to get sick. The chicken wings sat out at room temperature or the bag was open in a freezer with a bad temperature - they were gross. The fries def were made in old oil or burned - just bad. The tables are sticky and they can't make a basic cocktail. Just so bad - super disappointed. read more

Great dive bar brewery. They did have a nice nutty flavored light beer. Bartender was nice. We are wings, which were ok. Looks like they have a great Bloody Mary bar on the weekends. Scratching this one off my Cbus Ale trail list! read more

Knotty Pine Brewing - Dining area - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Nice little fun brewery. They only had 3 of their drafts on tap the rest were guest beers. Still a small brewery. I had a golden stout which was delicious and my girlfriend and I had a pizza. Great pizza, great beer selection and nice laid back atmosphere. Came early afternoon and missed the brunch and bloody mary bar which look amazing. will be back. read more

Brunch at this place was so fun! We went on a Saturday morning and guess what....THEY HAVE $2 MIMOSAS! I was super excited about that, if you couldn't tell! The food was also delicious! I got the breakfast sandwich, which consisted of an english muffin, egg, swiss cheese and a side of home fries. It may sound simple, but the way it was prepared was perfect! Our server Joey was also great and didn't mind when we asked him to take our picture. This place was the perfect brunch spot to meet up with friends and enjoy a mimosa or 3! read more

A-OK in the best way -- Knotty Pine is worth a visit for sure, and worthy of multiple visits if you live in or around Grandview. Even though I grew up nearby, I'd never been to the Knotty Pine until after the reboot. I like the beer here -- of the Columbus brew scene, in my opinion KP beer falls somewhere in the middle of the pack. I mean this as a compliment, because I think the Columbus beer scene is pretty amazing. They also have easy access to multiple local and Ohio-brewed suds via their draft list. Great place to sample many. The dining room is comfy, and we've always had great, friendly service. Large (comparatively speaking) outdoor eating area in the font, where you can watch the idyllic Grandview residents go about their charming lives. Definitely has a neighborhood watering hole vibe without being seedy. Food is just a'ight. Bar apps, salads, sandwiches, a few Americana entrees, and pizzas. No complaints about my mushroom burger, just nothing particularly memorable for me. Patty was a little dry. My vegetable side was overcooked (for my liking), but I was happy to have the option. Dad got the ricotta and mushroom pizza -- the bottom crust was a bit soggy (perhaps the ricotta was a little too heavy and moist?). Husband spoke highly of his smoked chicken BLT, and Mom really enjoyed her mussels frites. I'll definitely be back for beers and snacks, that seems to be a strong suit. Brunch looks fun, too. There's a serious bloody mary bar I need to investigate, complete with Bloody Mary mix fed to diners through a tap in the wall, and a table crammed full of all the add-ins you could ever want. read more

I gave this place a second chance because honestly the food is REALLY good but the service is SO bad. I was hoping my last visit was an anomaly but the service was somehow worse today. The servers just don't appear to care about doing their job. They just hang out and joke around with each other when they should be checking on guests, refilling drinks, etc., I am sad to say I will not be back. Good food or not, I can't handle the stress of ordering food or drinks and never getting them or having my friend's food spilled all over mine or receiving only three menus for a group of four and long waits despite the fact the place is nearly empty. There are too many awesome brunch options in Columbus to waste any more time here. read more

We always go to the Knotty Pine when visiting family in Columbus - partially because the location is within walking distance, but mostly because the food is great. Last time I was there, I got the salmon salad, which was absolutely delicious. We also got an order of the wings, which are delicious both with and without the buffalo sauce. Knotty Pine will continue to be a go-to spot when in Columbus. read more

This place is very hit or miss for me. I feel that there are a lot of inconsistencies in the service and quality of food. My most recent experience, I went with a friend for brunch. We both got the $5 bloody mary bar, however it was not set-up completely when we got there. We had to ask for some of the most basic things like celery. The servers were still running around about 30 minutes after opening putting out toppings. I ordered the donut holes which had hair in it. The waitress was nice and took it off my bill. However when I received the bill, one of the other food items was $1.50 more than the listed price on the menu. I brought this to her attention and she adjusted the price for us. That being said, I wonder how many other people have been affected by price differences on the bill versus the menu. Despite that experience, I would recommend it for a large group of people if you're looking to get quickly seated. Of the times I have been in a group we got seated right away. In addition, they have a nice patio for the summer months. It's perfect for having a happy hour beer. UPDATE: The manager reached out to me and apologized for my most recent experience. I was very appreciative he took the time to acknowledge the service and bill error. read more

I'd heard mixed reviews of this new brewery before arriving, but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the bar area was comfortable, well lit, and spacious. The house beer was good, nice fruity notes, not too hoppy, a little undercarbonated, but not bad. These things usually get better as the brewery gets older, so lots of room for improvement. I didn't have the food, but the smells and sights of it arriving near me makes me want to come back. The service was a touch brusque, would've liked a bit more friendliness. Parking is plentiful, street and lot. read more

Well update the review in a few weeks when I go back but this place seems like you need to ride up on a single speed bike.The place has a patio but it was closed because when I went it was 35 degrees.The wings here are outstanding will give a better review in a few weeks when I go down to check out the patio read more

Went in on a Sunday afternoon. Can't beat the patio during the day, good atmosphere. Service was so-so, many times wondered if we were forgotten about. Ordered the perch sandwich, but they were out of perch. Didn't get silverware until food came out and had to ask for it. Simple stuff like that was annoying. Ordered their Root Beer Beer, which was pretty good. The bloody mary bar was a nice surprise! Built into the wall, very official - but they need to find a new way to store the toppings. Fruit flies were everywhere...and the toppings were covered up with loose fitting napkins. Very unprofessional and unappetizing - but huge potential here for me to return as $5 bloody mary bar is great stuff. Ended up going for the Burger since they were out of fish, which was very good. However, it's a little pricey, at $11.50. Overall will likely return, but this place still needs some fine-tuning. Hoping I can return and re-rate this one to a 4 or 5 star - I want to like it more than I did! read more

Overall... Ehhhh... 1. Had to find someone to seat us and then again ask for a server after seated and waiting 10 minutes. Service was lacking the entire meal, there was no water refills and had to go get someone to give us our bill 2. Only had one of their own beers on tap... Kind of defeats the purpose of having "brewing" in your name. 3. Food was good overall but expensive and limited. $9 for two meatballs and $12 for a burger is a little steep when you come somewhere for a beer. Might come back again to try their beer when it's on tap but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Many other places have better beers and the same quality food for way cheaper. read more

We've been here a few times. The food is okay and prices aren't bad. Service, however, is hit or miss. The place is never that full, but somehow the staff seems totally overwhelmed and food can take foreverrrrrr. This most recent visit was the straw that broke the camel's back for us. There were 3 open dirty tables on the patio and when we asked the hostess if we could sit outside, she abruptly informed us that there were no outdoor tables. We ordered off of the brunch menu and settled in watching as the hostess line grew and she sat people in the same barking tone she used with us. After some time, we watched as other tables ordered and received their food. Our server (who was very nice) came up and apologized saying our order got lost in the shuffle and that he would rush our order. The food came out, but it was about an hour after we arrived. Another runner delivered the food, and our server never checked on us until we were done eating and it was time to pay the bill. After being there for so long, we honestly expected to see at least the drinks taken off the bill. However, the bill came full price. It's a good place to hangout if you have time and don't mind chilling with no rush - but I do think Knotty Pine has some work to do in the service department. read more

Not sure why this place only has a 3 star rating. I'm such a yelp snob I feel bad to say had I not been beyond hangry (with waits everywhere) I might have passed it up for that reason. But we drove by and saw plenty of people but a couple open tables on the patio and decided to give it a try. I got the pumpkin spice pancakes and they were awesome. Huge portion with very thick, yummy bacon. Bf got the chorizo hash, which was also yummy. They also have a build your own Bloody Mary bar (for $5!) w mild and spicy mix on tap and TONS of options for toppings. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely come back. read more

I'm doing four stars only, ONLY because their Knotty Pine Mirror Lake IPA ($5.50) is rather delicious. CBC IPA watch out! Apparently KP IPA has Columbus, Citra, Sorachi Ace, Experimental Pine Fruit and Amarillo hops. That just about covers them all.... 17 other handles feature a great selection of Ohio craft brews, including CBC, Seventh Son, Buckeye Lake and Cincy's Rhinegeist. Pretty impressive selection for such a small brewery themselves. The food and service definitely needs some time to improve. The former features a very small, yet well thought out selection but the latter can get a little rude and curt, especially during a busy, understaffed lunch, which I've experienced twice-the burger ($11.5) was overcooked when I requested medium rare and the pizza ($14) was good, only taking 20 minutes. Fresh, slightly sweet sauce with nice, big chunks of mushrooms. Very nice. I heard a lunch buddy complain of a salty salad and them constantly running out of a veal dish they used to have on the menu. Happy hour features half price drafts from 3-7PM. They also now fill growlers. Those handles I mentioned change rapidly so don't be surprised when they run out, even of their own house brew! Hey, the stuff's good and they're just getting started. Apparently they close on Mondays to brew their own craft. Perhaps going on a Tuesday would suggest fresher beer...? A brewery that features one of the best IPAs in Columbus with a large patio to enjoy it on is definitely going to be around for the long haul. Improve service, tweak food prep, and evolve the menu and they'll be good to go. read more

Burnt crust and three of ten wings that aren't edible. Pizza was good otherwise. Ordered take out and order was done on time. read more

Since they opened, I've been impressed by Knotty Pine's persistence to succeed. They've changed the menu a number of times and continued to expand and diversify their beer selection -- and it's only gotten better. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. The atmosphere is low-key and casual, the staff is friendly and always helpful, and I always have a good time here. Best of all, Knotty Pine is involved in and shows its love for the Grandview community year-round. read more

This place has the WORSE service EVER. I have been here several times. The one consistent thing about this place is the god awful service. Tried one more time after not going in a year. Waited 15 minutes at the hostess stand. We ended up turning around and leaving. read more

Great place to grab a beer or bite to eat in Grandview. They serve several beers brewed there and many other choices from local taps. Mix of older and younger crowd. Lots of TVs and large bar. And close to downtown and all the new places by Grandview Yard. read more

Finally tried Knotty Pine after driving past it so many times. We went for brunch around 1045 and the patio was already full! We put our names in and waited for about 15 minutes for a table. The food was solid. My bf got a brisket breakfast dish which I preferred over my chicken and waffles. The best part was $3 mimosas and $5 bloody Mary's during brunch. The patio is dog friendly and there were lots of pups! read more

Relaxing place. We enjoyed the Overall experience. The waitress and I had the same beer taste which helped me out. We got flights to try out different beers first. My fav was the knotty pine Amber. I really like amber beers, it had good spice and it was the waitresses favorite beer too. I liked the lemon beer but it would give me a tummy ache to drink too much of it. If acidic beers don't bother your tummy this one was on trend with the sour beers circulating. It's not bad at all. Also everyone's reviews of the cherry wood smoked beer are on point. Very unique beer and it does taste smoky. I'd love to have some with a smoked cheese plate! The pizza was pretty good. We got the mushroom bacon pizza $17 with Red sauce, ricotta & house made mozzarella cheese. One size pizza - I'd call it a large pizza. The pizza was so flimsy it was hard to get the pizza on your plate without all the toppings falling off. So perhaps the dough was too thin in the middle. But all the flavors were good. They should serve it with a spatula bc using your hands is inadequate. We didn't get pizza plates when our pizza was served but got some quickly after asking. I'd say the cheese is the stand out ingredient. The crust was good no complaints. An ok pizza. The pretzel appetizer really was the star. It was good. It was better than it looked. At first I thought it was over cooked and I noticed it was very lightly salted. But once I tasted it - I knew they knew what they are doing! Perfectly cooked! Whatever they put in the pretzel dough - muah! The beer cheese is very tangy and the honey mustard is almost like a sour taste. Very unique took me a few bites to fall in love with it only $8. The menue prices are redic here. A salad w salmon on it for $14 - a cheese steak sandwich $13. Seems a bit expensive for what looks like average food - noting fancy. So share the food - get pizza and split costs. read more

This is a nice neighborhood restaurant and brewery. It's generally not very hard to get a table even when they're busy. I like that they have a long list of rotating local beers that change every few weeks on top of their own brewed beer. Everything I've had on the menu has been good. Nothing spectacular, but satisfying enough to return at least once a month. I love their pork nachos, I just wish they used a chip that didn't get so dark and crispy when they throw the whole thing in the oven to heat it. Waitstaff has all been friendly, no one rude, but the service is sometimes lackluster. That being said, nothing that's made me not want to return. Overall, a solid neighborhood spot if you're not looking for super trendy, loud, or a long wait. read more

Good neighborhood place for food & drinks. Nice Bloody Mary set up for brunch. Brunch menu very limited. Don't get the huevos rancheros. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday, and I have to say I was impressed. The brunch menu is solid and original. Went with a group of 4 and we were all eating off each other's plate. Can't say enough about the flavor combinations on each dish. Not to mention we had $2 mimosas and a do-it-yourself Bloody Mary bar where you can add different sauces and garnishes to the drink to your preference. As stated before I think the whole brunch menu is very original, would definitely recommend you try it out. read more

Was a cute little brewery with a friendly staff. We got a flight to taste a bunch and they were all good! The Sunday mimosas were also very good! read more

Really good food and lots of different beers on tap. A little bit pricey, but worth it.

Great food and service in a casual setting. We will definitely be making this one of our regular stops. The salmon was perfectly seasoned and cooked and the Muenster fritters were a perfect appetizer. Looking forward to trying more dishes in the future. read more

I really like this place. Most recently I had the chicken BLT and it was delicious. It was fresh and perfectly fried, plus the homemade ketchup was really good. read more

Service was horrible. We all got salads and waited 15min + for our server to tell us he would be back with them. Ended up walking inside to find them ourselves. I understand when a restaurant can be "busy" but don't deliver a meal to costumers with out utensils. Would not come to this place again. read more

Great experience! Great beers! Great service! We loved the Pork Nachos. The Beer Cheese is so good! Check out this hidden gem!

The food is really amazing and the beer is good but the management is awful. We live right down the street so it's my first choice every time but every visit we stand at the hostess stand for 20+ minutes without getting acknowledged. It doesn't matter if it's breakfast, dinner or lunch hour. And if you even are lucky enough to get service, the wait is not worth it and they will most likely get your order wrong. They are SEVERELY under staffed and it's a bunch of high school kids who have attitudes or don't know what they're doing. It's such a shame because I loved this neighborhood spot but it's such a disappointment every time that it's not even worth trying anymore. read more

A large group of us came unannounced for a birthday felebration. This was a Saturday after the Buckeyes beat Rutgers. The seevice was great. We were all treated with patience, kindness, and enthusiasm even though a few of us had a few too many beers prior to arriving. The drinks came quickly and were delicious. We had ribs, steak, nachos, pizza, burgers, mussels and wings. The smoked wings were amazing. The ribs could have been cooked a bit longer but the flavor was redeeming. The sauce had the perfect amount of heat and smoke. The steak was cooked perfectly. Everyone left happy and full. Thank you, Knotty Pine, for your hospitality. read more

I should have checked Yelp before going here. A-OK is absolutely right. It wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst. Food is reasonably priced and presented well. Service was very good. We experienced two snafus during our dining experience though (stale food and mis-hooked pop syrup.) I ate the BBQ chicken sandwich and boy was it spicy. The fries were plentiful and very good. They come with a homemade ketchup which was also good. read more

Amazing service. Excellent food. Wings, pizza and fried mozzarella are our favorites.

Service mediocre for a Sunday night, but good beer and food! Pizza's are big enough to share and looked the best. The sandwiches are big... Ordered the pork nachos and they were cheesy with lots of meat and jalapeños. The pork had a lot of fattiness to it which I don't prefer but had great flavor. Great for groups. read more
