    Always one of our local favorites. Quick service, dine-in, carry-out, or drive-thru. Food is tasty and very fairly priced. Burgers and wings are better than you might expect from a fish joint! Current location is a great improvement from the old one and is conveniently located as well. Certainly a great place to stop in for lunch or dinner!

    Amazing amount of food for $10

    Amazing amount of food for $10, and it taste like I'm in Florida almost just not as fresh of course, but it kinda reminds of the old school Arthur teachers I'd your old enough or if they still exist where you live.

    Guess where??

    Decided that I would check out Rusty's Wharf in Pataskala today. It's in a small strip mall. You are greeted at the counter and place your order and go in and sit down at a table. When your order is ready it is brought to your table. I ordered the Fish/shrimp that came with chips and 2 hush puppies. Also had coleslaw, baked beans and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is made with two types of cheese with bread crumbs on top. Very smooth taste to it. The baked beans had the slightest cinnamon added to them which most places make the mistake of adding too much much to it. The coleslaw was made up with finely chopped vegetables with a nice smooth tasting sauce. Almost comparable to KFC's, really delicious. The chips were fried perfectly. The fish was a nice flaky piece. Very nice. The shrimp had the perfect texture and crunch to it. The star of show was the Hush Puppies, made homemade. They the perfect texture and crunch to them. What a perfect flavor. Next time I will order more. Yes there will be a next time. As I was leaving I got to take a few minutes to talk with Katie who I believe is the manager. Added bonus talked with the cook. They both were really informative talking about the business. You could tell that they were super excited about the customer experience. Can't wait to go back.

    Ask the Community - Rusty's Wharf

    Are your non-seafood items cooked in same grease as seafood items?

    We have 2 fryers that seafood items are never put in. When you are ordering just let us know that items need to be separated. Thank you

    I really like the fries here. However, we'd frequent this more if there was a good vegetarian main dish, even a veggie burger. Are there any plans for that??…

    I am sorry but we just don’t have enough requests for a veggie burger right now. We do also offer a nice garden salad and Mac and cheese. Thank you

    The Pub on Broadway, Granville, Ohio…read more Visiting the Maple Grove cemetery for holiday reflections after a few years away, I was happy to find that a nearby Granville institution was alive and well. The Pub on Broadway has been a staple since 2005, with good reason. The bar is a work of art, with warm hardwood features and a great selection of options. The menu is diverse, including Brussels sprouts topped with hot honey ($5), a bourbon-bacon burger made with sauteed mushrooms & onions, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, house-made bourbon sauce, and provolone, $19), a Pub-made mac & cheese entrée (house-made five cheese blend sauce, cavatappi pasta, topped with shredded cheddar-jack, served with toasted focaccia bread, $17), a full pizza menu, and a kids' menu with hot dogs, grilled cheese, buttered noodles, and chicken tenders ($7-8). I was moderately hungry, so I ordered a cup of chili ($7) and a side of battered fries ($5), along with a cider and bourbon boilermaker. Service was excellent, there was no waiting for a table around noon, and both selections came out piping hot. The chili was true comfort food, and the sandwich was sized so that I could have the second half the following day. The seating is spacious, sound level permits a conversation at normal levels, and the restroom was well-maintained and clean. It's good to know that the community supports this long-time favorite.

This place had very clean carpet flooring, plus restrooms were very clean as well. This place had a family feel to it, almost like home. The service was great, even had a server that had a trainee that was training at our table. This is an example of a place that cares about a good curriculum of hands on training. Very good customer service. Even had the manager come check in on us and took our to go order for us. So service an A+. Food was great, burger that I ordered came just how I like, was a plain burger. No fanciness to it, no steak knife jammed in the middle, no 6" tall mound, just a plain, good ol' fashion backyard burger. Yum! Wings were cooked great, seasoned with a hot nashville rub. Chicken tenders were plump, and hearty for something so simple off the menu. My son enjoyed them. The fish n chips came out with 2 huge filets of battered fish. My wife had to take the rest home. All in all, not a bad spot to stop and enjoy good food. Not loud at all like most bar n grills. Place almost had an 80's family feel to it. I think the carpeted floors played a part in that nostalgic feel for me. I need to bring my folks here next time they are in town. Will definitely be returning soon.

My favorite fish and chips meal sometimes came with fish and or chips that tasted stale like they'd been sitting around way too long. Or the food would come out hot and fresh but skimpy portions. So we stopped going here. The Pickerington location did not have the interior pub feel. It's in a strip mall and looks like the booths and seating were not very well thought out. Our favorite location was on North High Street just north of Cooke Road until it closed? I have no idea why because it was fantastic!
