    First time dining here. I was in the mood for something different. I've driven by here a couple of times and was curious about it. I went with the Mac Daddy chicken sandwich combo. Although I chose to take mine today, the dining room was small but nice. What stood out to me was the lady working the counter. She was so friendly, welcoming and nice. She made me feel right at home. The fries were incredible! Best I've had in a long time. I was disappointed in the chicken sandwich. It was drowning in thousand island. In fact, all I could taste was the thousand island dressing. I would recommend they put it on the side and let the customer decide how much. It kind of ruined it for me. They were really pushing their breakfast items, so I got the impression that may be more their forte. If I came back, that what I'd be willing to try. I'm not really sure I'd come back for the other items on the menu.

    American burgers

    The food is always fresh and delicious! One of our new favorite burger spots. The portions are huge, the service is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. A great place to relax, enjoy a meal, and spend time with family.

    Food was pretty good. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Our eggs were a bit runny even for a wrap and omelette. But the price was great and taste was there!

    Cute little restaurant. Friendly service. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Give it a try.

    American burger and tater tots!

    The service and food were amazing!! Highly recommend! The coziest place and the cutest atmosphere.

    New menu for Subs & Spuds.

    Can't order or see menu through drive-thru. No menus were posted online either. The food has been really good in the past. First time trying the new menu.

    Philly Steak
    Kelly L.

    Stopped by on a Saturday early evening with 2 others. It was empty at the time we arrived but people slowly trickled in as it got closer to dinner time. The service was great - the server/cashier was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Philly Steak and a Red Bull Slushie. The sandwich was solid. I especially loved each of the toppings (mushroom, onions, peppers). It wasn't the best Philly I've had but tasted pretty good. The drink was alright. I needed an energy kick and wanted to try it. Can't expect much. Half a can of Original Red Bull mixed with shaved ice. They gave me the other half of the Red Bull which was appreciated. I suggest they offer more flavors and sugar free options of Red Bull as my friend wanted to try it too, but she only drinks sugar-free. Overall, we had a good experience. The food wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I would recommend trying the Philly Steak. In the future, I'd love to try more menu items when I'm back in town. Prices are reasonable! Parking: Free parking lot at the restaurant!

    Gyro combo
    Bree S.

    Very friendly staff, gave us the rundown on menu options. They have breakfast & lunch available. We arrived around 2 so we opted for lunch. The recommendations for top sellers were #1 Chicken sandwich combo & #10 Gyro combo. The chicken was good size, breaded & fried with cheese sauce. I added pickle & lettuce with tater tots. The gyro was a perfect portion of lamb, feta, diced tomatoes, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. Fries & tots were amazing. My only suggestion is to change from Pepsi to Coke products lol

    Outside

    Service was friendly and nice. Food was hot and fresh, not long of a wait. The inside was nice and warming. First time trying it and would definitely come back!

    I used to get wraps like this in high school, so they're probably getting some points for nostalgia, but the two times I've been here the food has been good and appropriately fresh, and I appreciate the drive-up window option for COVID safety. I don't go this way that much, but it's an excellent option for a quick stop for lunch.

    I am so glad I found this hidden and local treasure in Columbus! The food is delicious and freshly prepared!! The staff is super nice and kind! Their owner is friendly to the customers and the staff! You can tell they love what they do! You should definitely give it try!! They are now on my top 5 places in Columbus! *The pasta was another visit I made for dinner after work I told you am excited about them!

They seem smaller thanI remember, but again it's been decades. And they were still excellent. They are essentially what I remember. Perfect combination of textures and flavors, served hot. They brought a collection of sauces to the table, but you don't really need any. So so good. I got wings too, because they looked good. They were out of one of the sauces I wanted, because they make the sauces from scratch. And the one I wanted, had raspberries in it and it's not raspberry season. I went with spicy peach, not very spicy,but very flavorful. Very peachy. The wings were meaty, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. 6 of them and 6 kraut balls was plenty for me for lunch. Service was excellent. Prices are pretty darn good. The place was cozy. It was not at all busy at two on a weekday afternoon. It gets busy at peak, of course. I will keep it in mind since I am in the area more.

My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly.

It made it way easier to eat. The cheese was nice and gooey. Just perfect. The onion straws were good too. I shared those with my husband. They were actually just as good on their own as they were dipped in any kind of sauce. That's big coming from me bc I love dipping! We got a box for our leftovers and headed out happy with a great first time experience here.
