    Chicken Philly
    Cynthia N.

    This place is a fast food but usually have to wait a few minutes since it's cooked to order . That's fine with me though I love hot fresh food and cooked to order. They wear gloves and clean if you go inside I just do the drive through usually . But the menu has a variety of items and I love the waffle fries . The wings are good also . The mushrooms aren't bad either . The food has been consistent so far even when we had it delivered.

    I grew up in Cleveland and always remember Mr. Hero. Still flourishing in Northeast Ohio, but only one location exists in Columbus, on Livingston Ave. If I'm in the neighborhood and have the time, I'll stop by for a Romanburger or Cheesesteak. In my last two visits I have had a very good, consistent experience in getting the Romanburger. The regular size is 7" with two burgers, but they have been running a special on the 3 burger 10", which is a steal for only a nickel more than the 7" at $5.55! Beginning with a fresh baked Orlando roll, it is topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a special recipe Italian oil seasoning. Then topped with burgers, a white American blend sliced cheese, grilled salami and ham, and mayo. It's a perfect combination! Pictured is my 10" Romanburger with no mayo and over 1.5 hours old. Still intact!

    The drive thru.  The hanging lights run completely around the building.

    While priced decently, you can do a lot better than Mr. Hero's. I remember Mr. Hero's from my childhood. Back in the day, there were many locations around Columbus. Now, there is just one left in the city. If the taste and freshness of the food is why, I understand. It seems like a good bargain. Two Philly cheese steaks and two Bavarian cream filled churros for just $10. After I ate it, though, I feel like I paid too much. The cheese steaks, while hot, are stale and a bit hard. The churros, like something you should get free while getting your car fixed at a dealership (not much more than a hint of the cream in a slight smattering of crunchiness). While it was fun to go retro for once, I don't think I'll be back again. Two stars. Mostly for the kitchiness.

    My mom took me to Mr. Hero years ago when one was located inside of a gas station on the westside of Columbus off of Wilson Road. Of course that location has been long gone. Once I found out we had one out east on Livingston Ave. I never pass up a chance to go whenever I'm in the area. While pregnant with one of my children I used to pass the restaurants exit on my way home from my OBGYN apts. So I always stopped. I'm obsessed with the Roman burger and fries with cheese sauce. It's addicting. It's always served fresh and warm. I think they used to be open late and now it closes earlier. If you've never tried it, I definitely suggest you go soon. You won't be disappointed.

    All tables dirty!  Not only dirty but they all had a film on them.  As if they have not been cleaned in weeks. GROSS, AND RUDE PEOPLE

    It is St Patrick's Day so I looked for a deli with corned beef sandwiches nearby and found Katz's…read more Having lived in NYC I had high expectations for a deli with Katz in the name. Additionally, having had a Goodman's Deli mile high corned beef sandwich when I lived in Cleveland, I had even higher expectations. Their most popular sandwich is the Reuben so I went with that. Katzingers did not meet them. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich I was shocked the line wasn't out the door to place orders before they closed and the dining room had maybe 6 people in it. There were about 6 to go bags on the shelf along with mine. When I mentioned to the cashier that I was surprised it wasn't busier, she said it'll be busier tomorrow. I said the day after St Pat's? No answer. Another not good sign in my mind. When I got home, the wrapped sandwich was bigger than my hand but not very tall. The paper had areas of grease which is a good sign for this sandwich. The corned beef itself was tender but there wasn't as much of it, maybe an inch high and 1/3 of the bread had no corned beef. I also could not taste the thousand island dressing. The rye bread was toasted but pretty soggy. The crust was mostly crunchy. The bread slices were paired upside down putting a narrower side a larger side against each other. There is not enough sauerkraut and it is not very sour. I was given the choice of a dill or garlic pickle but I cannot tell you how it was because they didn't put it in the bag. I expected this sandwich to have so much meat in it, I could eat for multiple days for $18. Again, disappointed. Maybe I should've gotten the deli sized version but paying that much for a sandwich... The inside of the deli is fun and it's obvious it's been around a long time and has been well loved. I wanted to like Katzinger's but since the price and the quality don't match, I cannot.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.
