If you're looking for Chicago-style food, 'Loops' is one of my top three favorite restaurants in the Columbus area where you can get delicious Chicago hot dogs and an Italian beef sandwich; their French fries are equally delicious. I also had their baklava dessert, which had the perfect amount of sweet flavor. This is a perfect place for a quick and tasty lunch. I met the owner, and she was very welcoming and friendly; the service was very fast, and the food is amazing. read more

True to my word, came back in for the Italian beef, albeit 6 years after my first visit. Actually had the Friday special which was a combo including an Italian sausage and hot giardiniera. It was crazy good. Spot on with the best I've had in Chicago. The only knock I have is the friendliness of the staff. The woman serving the food never smiled, had her face in her phone when she wasn't tending to an order, and clearly didn't want to be there. Told them all on the way out I thought the food was great and I got the feeling they were thinking "don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." No Old Style is a bit of a downer too. read more

Came here after seeing this restaurant on DDD. We were not disappointed! We both had coney dogs that were just perfect. I have also had the Italian Beef here and look forward to trying a Gyro. While they do not have fountain drinks, they do offer Coke bottled drinks that lack a variety of diet or zero drinks. The store has been clean and comforting every time we have visited just as the staff has been very friendly and helpful. read more

bringing a piece of Chicago to Columbus. If you think of your traditional Vienna, beef hotdog gyro hamburger joint in Chicago this is the type of restaurant that comes along with loops. They pride themselves in the gyro but also have a very good hotdog Chicago style. The service is quick and the place has ample dining space. The diners are very family friendly or your lunchtime worker grabbing a bite to eat. read more

I think this place is pretty good. The Chicago hotdog (Loops' dog) was awesome and authentic with that awesome Vienna beef dog. I thought the Italian beef with hot giardiniera was fine but not amazing. The fries are absolutely amazing, 5 star for sure. They claim on their website that they have the best fries in Columbus and I think they are right. I can't think of a better batch of fries in Columbus or maybe anywhere, they really are that good. The service was fast and the prices are reasonable. Good place for a good lunch. read more

Ya'll better come get this food - I do not play about prices, portions, quality or taste and I am telling you- I stand on the business that this place is amazing! It will leave you wanting to try the entire menu piece by piece which is what I plan to do over time lol my selective eater youngest got the coney dog and absolutely loved it! That's literally a WIN. Then my oldest who is adventurous got the Kronos and he was stimming so hard from loving the food so much- that was also a literal WIN. My meal - which as a Virgo rising you know it's pretty difficult to impress me ‍ not my fault, just how my sky is ‍ my meal impressed me. Absolutely delicious, fresh, the portions I am STILL blown away by because few places give real portions anymore and these are HEARTY. And their flavors!!!! Seriously go get some read more

We found Loops recently because of their Italian Beef sandwich and everything we have had so far has been delicious with the meatball sub being my favorite so far with the Italian beef not far behind. The parking is a little confusing since the lot seems to be at the back of the building but I think there might be a side entrance. Service has been nice and quick. Pricing is fair, I would even say pretty cheap Overall, I can't wait to make it back to try their gyro rolls. Definitely recommend read more

Went here on Saturday afternoon, right before the big Dec 25 snow storm. I had in mind a delicious, crisp dog with chili and cheese. I got convinced to order the Loops dog - the dog yellow mustard, raw onions, diced tomatoes, green relish, pickle spear, sport peppers & celery salt on a poppy seed. I made it my own and still added the chili and chili- yes it was messy but yummy. Staff was nice and place was clean. So good l forgot the photos - yikes! read more

So, let me say that I lived in Northwest Chicago for 20 years. I've eaten at a dozen hot dog places and around 5-6 Italian Beef spots. My favorite Hot Dog is either Superdawg off Milwaukee or Morrie O'Malleys near White Sox field (now closed). I really love Portillos Italian Beef, dip that sucker and load on the hot giardiniera. Let me start with their fries: superior to most Chicago spots. Their fries were so good. Their hot dog was pretty good, not the best dog I've had but good. I'd get fries and dog next time. Their Italian beef was great for the beef but the bun wasn't up to standard. I got mine dipped and the sandwich was falling apart; the same happened with my wife. If they could fix their bread they would be a great spot but I can't say I'd get the Italian Beef again; just because it kept falling apart. Service was good. The ambiance was fine. I had no issues except for the bread. A true Chicago Italian Beef can be dipped (baptized, whatever) and hold together. Fix that issue and it's solid. Maybe just get the juices on the side. read more

The service staff was very helpful and answered all my questions that I had about their menu. The dining area was clean. There was music playing in the background, which was upbeat. Lots of things to look at around the room. The food was really good and worth trying if you're in the area. read more

There's parking behind the building! I ordered the Titan, which I ate without taking a picture, and it was delicious! It was pita bread with loads of toppings, pork and veggies! I ended up cutting it up into pieces since there were so many ingredients! Service was fast and the guy running the cash register was very helpful about the items on the menu. read more

Was on DDD twice. Cute little place. Great customer service. But the food was horrible!! The fetafire I had and I took one bite and I literally almost puked. It was horrible. Even the falafel was gross. (I eat a lot of places and I've never done that before.). Tried the meatball sub, it was ok but I expected it to be way better since it was on the show!! Definitely do not recommend it. And never would go back as I wasted the money that I did spend on this trip. As far as 2 stars it's definitely because of the staff that was there! read more

I haven't eaten here in awhile ,but I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop in and place a to go order. The staff was very friendly and greeted me as soon as I came in.

I will be back soon and try more delicious food. read more

After hearing a lot of good things about Loops, we have it a try and we're really happy we did! We did a takeaway order (live less than 10 mins.) Everything we ordered was piping hot still when we got home to eat. First things first: everything positive said about Loops fries is spot on. SO GOOD! A small order is huge too and worth every penny of $4. I got the Clark Street and it was delicious. The meats were tender and not dry. The peppers and mushrooms were fresh and perfectly cooked. The pita soft and cheese gooey. I'd absolutely get it again and definitely recommend it. Also tried a traditional gyro and it was very good too. The tzatziki wasn't the best we ever had but all in all, it was a good gyro. The side of chili was more like a cup of coney sauce so might not get that again, but it was still good, just not what was expected. The prices were really fair too, especially given how expensive typical fast food is now. Definitely give it a try! read more

Loops - Chili with Cheese and Onion, Loops' Fries, Clark Street on the right - Greek Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I love everything that Loops stands for, but I can't say that I love everything that Loops makes. However, I do like most of it. I've visited several times over the years, and their goal is aspirational: replicating the signature dishes of a city that loves its food. But that comes with high expectations... The most consistent winner is the Chicago style Loops Dog. The Maxwell Street Polish is fine if you need a Columbus-based fix, but it's not as true to Chicago form as the hot dog. I'd say the same about the Italian Beef as well. Credit goes to Loops for creating the Gyro Roll. The spicy version exceeded my expectations. The combination of fried dough, gyro meat, spices and dip was a highlight of my recent visit. The core fries are really good on their own; I find that the versions with loaded toppings try to fix something that isn't broken. That said, the fries did come with a service snafu as it wasn't included in my takeout order. Fortunately I recognized this in the parking lot, and upon returning the fries were provided without a hassle. Overall, when I'm in a mood for a Chicago dog and fries, Loops is 5 stars. But there's a drop off when branching out into other Chicago staples. read more

Please change the pita bread to larger sizes so the portioned meats can be wrapped Sharma style. All the contents fall out of the little pita rounds when trying to eat it creating a mess. To many raw onions on sandwhiches more then 3 tbs was overly stuffed. Falafels are horrible tasted worse than frozen storebought. Overly fried and tasteless. Food needs salt. Was here back in 2017 nothing drastically has changed. read more

Had the loops hot dog. I'm from Chicago so you can't get anything past me. The hot dog tasted good however we don't use chopped tomatoes and I couldn't detect the use of any celery salt at all. But overall it was pretty tasty and I would order it again. read more

First time visiting and will definitely be back! Classic gyro was phenomenal!! The light toasting of the pita sent it over the top. Hubby had the chili cheese dog and said it was one of the best he's ever had! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! read more

I had seen this joint on DDD and wanted to hit it for a while now and I am so glad I made it there. The Dude cooking when Guy visited was manning the grill--which was a nice surprise.

If I want to reward myself for something I did. I go to loops. If I want to treat someone to the best of something, I take them to loops. If I want to fight back against the ancient evil of the underworld. I go to the gods, but I stop at loops first. I truly believe this is one of the best eating places in Columbus. So much so that I called my nana and told her she can shove her food where the sun doesn't shine. Loops is my nana now. At night I chant your name as I burn offerings to those very gods that protect us from the underworld. read more

Wish I could give a zero. I had incredible gastric and abdominal pain after eating their Clark St pita with chicken only. Eventually I had vomiting and diarrhea. The pita was large, soggy, and flavorless. The chicken breast chunks were dry, but plentiful. The grilled vegetables were overcooked and the cheese sauce sticky. Nothing tasted fresh. Never going back. Guy Fieri was wrong about this place. Acknowledgement: when the restaurant opened this morning. The manager was pleasant and responsive to my complaints. She issued full refund. She also checked the leftover food and said none of it was expired. However that doesn't mean refrigeration and holding temps were what they should have been. read more

After watching The Bear, we decided to grab an Italian beef from Loops in Grandview and added on a chili dog. Service was quick, the menu is a reasonable price point and nods toward Greek offerings when it's not a Chicago-style sandwich, or a dog. We took our food to go, but several people were eating in while we ordered. The Italian beef was particularly good and so was the jus that we requested on the side. This was my first time eating here, and I have not had the food truck offerings either. Overall, good food. Quick and easy lunch. I would recommend. read more

Excellent Gyro, great service! A bit cafeteria like but ambiance is not what I came for.

They're from Chicago! Love it! Had to try the Italian beef sandwich and the chili cheese fries. It's a lot of food and heavy! Delicious and tasty with a nice kick from the hot gardiniera. I would like to try their chili dogs next time. Even though i ordered the small size for the chili fries, I couldn't finish. So good! Overall, great prices for what you're getting! read more

I stopped in for lunch take out and my salad was ready so quickly I didn't have time to take a pic of the interior! It's casual and unassuming inside but very clean.

I need to come back to try the hotdogs for sure! read more

Loops - Chopped Salad - Greek Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Before going to OSU for my son's first college visit, I asked a law enforcement buddy who does lots of trainings in Columbus for a recommendation for lunch. Without hesitation, he suggested Loops. After a full morning on campus, we arrived at Loops just before 2pm ready for some good grub! After looking the menu board over, I had been considering one of the gyros, but when I asked the gal behind the counter what she liked and she immediately said the Polish Po' Boy, I was sold! My son ordered the Clark Street gyro, which with a Coke, made our bill $19.54 after tax but before tip, which felt pretty reasonable for lunch for two. Selecting a table along the wall of the very clean dining room, we proceeded to take in the restaurant's Greeks-from-Chicago-in-Ohio vibe. As a sports fan, my son really liked the flags and references to the various Chicago sports teams. As geography geeks, we both enjoyed the wall of clocks displaying the local time here in Columbus, as well as Chicago (their previous home), Athens (their previous-previous home), and Los Angeles (I suppose just because). Additionally, the subway tiled wall and the giant subway car picture making up the full back wall really made us both look forward to our upcoming family vacation to Chicagoland! After a short wait, our food was ready, and we were both impressed! My son said his Clark Street was as good as it was filling. Personally, my Polish Po' Boy was a titanic sandwich that was more like a meal for two. This thing was so big, I could not fit the end of it into my pie hole, which is saying a lot because my wife says I have a really big mouth! The savory Polish sausage and the fries drench in tangy homemade barbeque sauce contrasted perfectly with the sweetness of the poppy slaw topping. My only issues were the twin facts that after eating the whole thing, I felt like I needed a bath because it was so messy with dripping goodness, and I was so full that I really just wanted to curl up and take a nap, rather than drive the 2.5 hours back home. PROS: good atmosphere, great food, and generous portions CONS: The Polish Po' Boy should come with a bib ('cause it is so big and deliciously messy) and a cuppa coffee (to ward off the inevitable post-meal food coma). Overall I rate Loops as being Very Good, and look forward to coming back the next time we are in town. read more

Loops has great hot dogs, Italian beef sandwich's, pittas and other tasty Chicago dishes. You start by placing your order at the register then wait a few minutes and they call you order number. The food is made quick and to your requests. At this time, during the pandemic, they don't have indoor seating. I placed my order over the phone and they had it ready for me to take my order "to-go" when I arrived. The service is quick and the food is great! Professional foodie tip: Order the Fetafire fries. You'll thank me that you did!!! read more
