Overall good food. Ordered catering for a team lunch. Hands down everyone loved the chicken pot pie soup. I could eat that everyday. Everything was good except the mini cinnamon rolls. Everyone thought they were too sweet. read more

This little place is amazing. Hidden downstairs inside the Statehouse this cafe focuses on locally sourced foods. They have a variety of different foods from Asian to American Comfort and a lot in between. There are signs for the "cafe", that's where you're trying to go. If you're not inside the statehouse already, you do have to go through security/metal detectors to get in but it doesn't take too long. You'll find the little cafe ordering area with the menu and specials before you walk in to order. I got the charred chicken bowl... it was sooo good. Chicken was delicious, corn was sweet, tomato dressing was refreshing, I loved the pickled onions and the dressing. The bowl was a bit pricey at $9 but it was a good amount of food and downtown so it's not surprising. I would absolutely go back and try everything else they have to offer. read more

This is a fantastic locally-sourced quick service restaurant tucked away in the depths of the Statehouse. It appears to serve as both cafeteria for the statehouse workers, as well as true restaurant for external patrons. After following them on Facebook for a while, I finally made the trek down for lunch today. There really is no external signage to direct you where to go, so just go in the 3rd street entrance, and be prepared to walk through the security checkpoint. Once inside, walk straight ahead past the gift shop (which is really nice, btw), and then turn right when the hallway dead ends. It's tucked in a little doorway with a sign out front. It's pretty cozy inside - really only room for a few coolers and the cafeteria line. Off to the left is a separate room for dining in. I had a hard time choosing what to order, as everything looked so delicious! They have sandwiches, salads, bowls (mix of grains and veggies) and also breakfast in the morning. The prices here are very reasonable for the quantity of food, and the fact that they source many of the food items locally/seasonally. I had the Grazy Hot Bowl - and NO JOKE about it being hot. It was actually above my threshold of heat tolerance, but so flavorful that I just powered through. So, word to the wise, when they say 'spicy' here, they mean it! I think I'd ask for light on the sriracha next time, but honestly I'd probably just try something else because so many of the other dishes sounded amazing. I also love that their containers and bags are compostable! Getting in to eat here may seem intimidating, but it's painless and definitely worth the trip. Check this place out for a filling, fresh, and flavorful lunch! read more

Milo's Catering - Grazy Hot Bowl. Look at all that red-hot Sriracha!! - Caterers Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

It was Graze, but went back to Milo's Catering at The Capitol Cafe in the Ohio Statehouse. I had the Graze Burger with cheese and bacon with yummy Sweet Potato Fries, and a Diet Dr. Pepper. I enjoyed my burger and sweet potato fries. The bar area is too high, me and other friends struggled to sit in those high chairs to the high bar area. The bar area needs to be lowered to accommodate all people. I will go back there again for breakfast or lunch, but expect to be screened and scanned because it is in government building. read more

I found out about this fast-casual joint via Sam P' check-ins. The pics looked so colorful and filling, I couldn't help but bookmark it. I happened to be in the neighborhood, with an hour to kill before appointments, so I found a meter close by and started the trek. I've never been in the State House. This venture to find Graze was my first time inside. You want to enter the State House thru the 3rd Street doors. Go thru security/metal detectors, walk to giant opening and hang a right. Good smells roaming about! When you first walk into the space, there's a blackboard with Graze's weekly lunch specials. I'm a sucker for salmon, so I went with their Wood Fired Salmon Salad. The gentlemen manning the grills were very nice. Polite. They even gave me an extra bunch of sprouts and fresh red beets on the salad, at no extra cost. That, folks, is excellent customer service! All the fresh, flavorful veggies atop, totally represented. The salad was fantastic! The salmon was cooked well - not chewy and bland. Great week-day lunch spot if you work (or live) downtown! read more

So I was at the Columbus Bar Association for a lunch program. I've been to others recently where pizza was served along with salad. If you've read any of my reviews, you would know that I eat only salad. So boy was I HAPPY when I saw the catered lunch was a build-your-own salad. AND IT WAS DELISH!! They had trays of mixed greens - NOT iceburg lettuce. Next came a choice of flavorful beef or chicken - OR BOTH! ;-) Then crumbled bleu cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts, and dressing. They also had thinly sliced granny smith apples. There was also rolls and couple types of dressing - but who needs either when you can fill your plate with the amazing salad fixings! I piled on round one along with a couple diet sodas. Half way through the program, despite looking like a glutton, I went back for more. Thanks Milo's for a wonderful lunch! read more

Milo's Catering was a pleasure to work with for our wedding needs. Our guests have not stopped talking about how great all the food was- from the cocktail hour, to dinner, and closing out with the greatest late night tacos ever (highly recommend)! We planned our wedding from out of state, so the Milo's team was very accommodating during our tasting and were well prepared the day of the wedding. Milo's had very fair pricing and the food was top notch. We worked with Lynn, and everything ran smoothly, was plated and served in a timely manner, and wine and desserts were served without a hitch. Thank you for being there to make our wedding the best day ever! Best regards, Ken & Cathy Brophy read more

Some of the best food I've ate in Columbus. Never been disappointed with what I've eaten

Milo's cafe at the statehouse had long been a favorite of mine. Tucked away in the basement it was the definition of a hidden gem. So I worried a bit when I heard that it was being replaced. There was no need. Graze, which has taken its place, is an even better downtown lunch option--if that is even possible. The concept is a variation on a familiar theme: various ingredients that can be combined to make a plate or salad. But the choices! Oh the choices! The plate is a little different than your usual "pile everything on rice" setup. You first get to pick two stand alone sides. There are quite a few options to choose from and, impressively, many of them are vegetables! For my first visit I went with the spicy chick peas and the zucchini and tomatillos. Each was flavorful and delicious. After picking your sides, then it's on to the more familiar protein on rice. Again however, the options are terrific. There's the usual chicken, sure. But also things like meatballs and lamb. The lamb drew me in and it was perfectly cooked. Tender, flavorful, delicious. Finally, on to the toppings. There are so many!! Thankfully the employees were patient ad I pointed and asked "what's that," and "now, how about that one." As with the sides and lamb, the toppings were both interesting and tasty. I can tell, this will be a regular destination for me. It's even worth the hassle of going through statehouse security to get in. I can see the potential for two downsides however. One, the choices could be overwhelming. There are so many options, and it sounds like their going to change over time. So if they're busy, it's possible that a backup could form as each person asks, as I did, for help. Second, if you're picking your own combinations, the possibility of making an incompatible selection is there. Not every topping or ingredient will go well with every other one. So you're going to have to make sure and choose wisely. That's not Graze's fault however. They have given you the tools to create a fresh and delicious lunch. It's up to you to use them. read more

We can't say enough about Milo's!! The food was delicious (We heard so many positive comments from the guests at our daughter's wedding.) But for us it was all about the staff! Lynne walked us through the time line for the big day and had many helpful hints for us. It really lowered our stress level! Erica was our day of person and she was AMAZING! She took care of everything and really made it possible for us to just relax and enjoy this special day! The servers and bar staff were efficient and friendly! Thank you to the entire staff at Milo's for a wonderful day! read more

I ordered Milo's catering for a bridal shower--we did the Mexican feast. My experience with them from start to finish exceeded my expectations. They have a huge menu and everything they delivered to us was fresh and delicious. For the price, we received more than enough food and they brought it and set it up so it was no hassle for us. I would recommend them for any event and I will absolutely book them agai . read more

This place is located inside the statehouse and can be accessed to the public. It's somewhat tucked away in a room but I found it easily because the line was out the door! I was impressed with the variety of foods this place offers - everything from a fried chicken sandwich to a protein-packed quinoa bowl! You can literally find something for every pallet and there are veggie friendly dishes as well! I got the special of the day which was the salmon burger with Thai Chili Sauce and it was incredible! The sauce was the perfect amount and the salmon had a wonderful flavor. They serve breakfast until 10 a.m. then begin lunch at 11 am. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food they serve! read more

Located inside the Ohio Statehouse and is a great place for lunch if you're on Cap Square. Parking would probably be difficult. If not already down here working I would suggest somewhere else. My favorite thing, the fries! The food is is quick and the faces are friendly. read more

This place is amazing! Our work had it catered for an event and everything was delicious! They accidentally put cheese on the salad(we requested it be on the side) and when they realized it the mistake they made it right and brought a new one made correctly within a reasonable amount of time. read more

Milo's has been great to work with! Unfortunately part of our event got downsized and the rest eventually cancelled due to Covid. The staff at Milo's have been very accommodating for our changes even though it means they lose out on some money. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future!! read more

Best lunch spot ever. If you don't like graze you probably hate Jesus too. I'll fight anyone that disagrees. I would give them 6 stars but it wouldn't let me. Do yourself a favor and go eat here. Get anything it doesn't matter. You're welcome. read more

Graze has catered at least 5 of our office luncheons. Hands down, this is our favorite restaurant in Columbus that we choose to bring in. We are a finicky group, and Graze always hits the mark! read more

Consider me a fan. Their pot roast almost brought literal tears to my eyes it was so tasty. Good options and different specials everyday! I can't wait to go and try their breakfast! read more

We've had Graze cater 2 of our Sales Meeting lunches and 1 of our dinners over the past 1 1/2 years. We always get compliments to pass along to Graze; and then get asked when we're going to have them cater again! Our crew especially enjoys their meats. Though our event last week included green beans, herb red potatoes, mac & cheese, and broccoli and cheese casserole along with coffee rubbed flank steak, pretzel crusted chicken, and meatloaf. All of the sides were dug into and almost gone, along with the meats. This doesn't usually happen with our group of carnivores. We usually have most of our sides left over. Not with Graze! Whoever selects the meats and veggies knows what they are doing - they are top notch. We've had other places serve meat that is fatty. We NEVER worry about that with Graze. You can count on each bite being wonderful. They have a good variety of items and/or meals to pick from. They deliver right on time and have excellent set up staff. We can't say enough good about Graze. read more

We went with Milo's Catering for our wedding. From our first meeting to the actual day, they were wonderful and we had no problems. We worked with Stacy who was very well organized and professional. We loved all of the food we tasted; we chose a handful of appetizers and the short rib and Tuscan chicken for entrees. She was able to provide gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. People raved about all the food (especially the short rib and the vegetarian stuffed acorn squash). Some people told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Highly recommend! Would use them again! read more

My experience with Graze is generally positive, their food is always tasty and hot (4 star), but their service is slow (minus half star), and their prices are a little expensive (minus another half star). read more

Graze at Polaris has very good breakfasts and healthy lunches. Service is always friendly and efficient.

I won't eat here again. This graze is in the Mettler Toledo building and I really tried to like it. I went in a few times and each time I would get a bad belly ache. I thought maybe it was an allergy to something they cooked with and called in to ask what they cook with. Not the case. I gave them a final chance and got their roasted omelette and fruit. MISTAKE. The bacon is a super fatty mess and the fruit was rotten. ROTTEN! I went to take a bite of the pineapple and I could smell it was bad. I even had a co-worker smell and she was like Do not eat that, it's bad. I will say the people who work there are very nice, but in my experience, the only safe thing to eat are the bakery items. :( read more

I had Milos catering for a couples wedding shower. Thank you for making my life easier. The food was outstanding.
