    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. The food was just like I remember the last time everything made to order so you know that your food is fresh. They also a small area outside where you can eat. I will be back soon and try more delicious food.

    Workers were great, food was good and hot, diningroom was cool, plenty of tables to sit at. They have 20oz Coke products to drink and give you a cup for ice water from their machine. The large fries were huge!

    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!

It was shortly after a huge snow storm so parking was not easy to find but somehow we lucked out and found a spot on High St right out front. Once we made our way through the doors the host greeted us and they actually had a table available right away. Score! We sat down and our waitress was also at our table right away. She told us about their lunch special (pizza and a salad), gave us recommendations, and went to grab our drinks. Now, I cannot come here and not get their kale caesar salad. It's seriously amazing! So I went with the lunch special and the roasted garlic pizza. Everything was SO GOOD and came out pretty quickly. The pizza was a nice size and I was able to take a few slices home to enjoy later. While there isn't a location super close to me, I definitely won't be sleeping on them again.

    First time at Derive…read more Good amount of parking. The space is somewhat small but is done well. The bar has a good vibe and is where I sat. I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes. Nothing fancy but done amazingly well and very quickly. My burger was out in a few minutes. I will say that the pizzas I saw coming out of the kitchen will have me coming back to try one of them. The beer was good, although I'll admit that the heat from the burger affected my pallet to truly enjoy the beers since I got a tasting flight. I was here on a Friday night between 5:45 and 7 and it was filling up until I was ready to head out. They do have happy hour on Friday from 2-5pm for $1 off pints.

I appreciate when walking into someplace I'm unfamiliar with, I am welcomed in graciiously, even though they don't know me at all. I ordered a flight of beer so I could try a few different beers. I also ordered a pint afterward of one of the IPAs I enjoyed. My server recommended some flavors to try while I was there and he was spot on. (I interacted with two different servers, one male, one female, both equally helpful and friendly). I would return, only in part for good beer, moreso it's the inviting feel I get from this place. This staff realizes that we have options around town and they made me feel like they wanted me there.

The main floor, the basement (where House Singer Jerry Crabbe played on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday -- see photo), and the top floor which was over-flow during football Saturdays. Monday night featured an older lady on accordion who hosted a sing-along. The place filled up pretty nicely.
