    I was born and raised in Plain City. Right across the street from this place actually. Been meaning to try it since it opened. Mostly to see how they remodeled the inside. I'd been in that building so many times I was reply hoping it would be nicely renovated but leave the old charm. They did a great job. Love the inside. The menu looked awesome. The drinks are nicely priced, not crazy. There are so many house cocktails we want to try. I did the mimosa and the espresso martini this time since we were there for brunch. They were both delicious. Lots of Ohio made alcohol options. I like that. We got the onion rings to start. Wow. They were pickled onions so they look purple when bite into them. Never seen that before. Yum. The sauce they came with was delicious. My nephew enjoyed it so much licked the cup clean. My sister in law is a vegetarian so she got the crispy cauliflower for her meal. It's got a very Indian food taste and she loved it. Big portion. My bother and my husband got the breakfast burrito and enjoyed them. My nephew for the salmon and scarfed it down. I got the Benedict. I'm a sucker for a food Benedict and it didn't disappoint. Loved it on the sourdough toast. We hadn't been there since it was fixed up so we asked if we could go up and look at the event space upstairs. Love what they did up there and love that they are displaying the inner workings of the clock. Everything was delicious. We will definitely have to go back for dinner!

    Location; new spot in Plain City, came in for brunch solo and sat at the bar. I initially made a reservation for two, but ended up coming in solo, hostess was great with the change. I was driving into Plain City to pick up some Christmas pies up the road, and made a trip of it. Food; Started with the best mimosa. I ordered probably one of the best pancakes I have had for sure in the top three ever. The cookie butter pancakes are delicious, the gingerbread crumbles bring a taste and textures that screams perfection. The bacon was good, may have been cooked a little longer for my liking but was obsessed with my pancake. I had looked at menu prior to my arrival and order a poblano cornbread togo, which was delicious at home that evening. Service; My server/bartender was great. I am trying to plan another visit here soon.

    So impressed with this place! The old fashioned were outstanding and I really enjoyed the brunch offerings. Wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the chocolate chip cookie but the taste was good. Can't wait to go back!

    Welcome to Plain City Clocktower!! Decided we wanted to try something new, so took the drive to downtown Plain City. The Clocktower Kitchen & Bar is on the corner in the middle of town - near the soon to be lit Christmas Tree. There was a lot of street parking and also a public lot in the ally behind the restaurant. Arrived a little before five for happy hour and it was very quiet. Lucky for us grabbed seats at the bar, where Jeff and the other bartenders took care of us. Also by 530 or 6 it was getting crowded. Bar filled up with local couples and friends. Very festive ! Happy hour had discounted drinks and a few appetizers discounted. Team recommended the Carmelized Onion Dip ! Great choice as it was served with toasted sourdough and was delicious. Enjoyed a few drinks, Tried 88mph and an old fashion. 88mph was outstanding! Smoked Old fashion was more syrup than bourbon. Stick with 88mph. They have a good draft beer, wine and bourbon selection. After appetizer we enjoyed Wedge Salad with Chicken - which was as ordered and very good. Tried Sweet potato Gnudi w added chicken. Definitely something to go back for. Couldnt resist but tried the mac and cheese too. We agreed that there were other great dishes to try and we will be back. Thanks to the bartenders, hostesses, and kitchen. We will be back and its worth the drive. Also note - Clocktower is pretty big! it also has a great banquet room upstairs. Would be great for events or receptions.

    Welcome

    We were first to arrive and were taken to a table away from the inside traffic as we had reservation. We were greeted by Debra and we were exceptionally pleased with her knowledge and customer service. The drinks were very well prepared and very affordable. In fact everything on the menu was reasonably priced. The smothered breakfast burrito was huge and full of nourishment. The Kelsey's Benedict was delicious and the BELT was awesome. This is only a short drive from my kids home and I look forward the next time I'm in town to try other items on the menu. This place is worth the drive!

    LOVED the brunch here at Clocktower Kitchen. It was my first time visiting and went for Valentine's Day. The building has nice historic charm and inviting decor. Staff was all friendly from the hostess, to our awesome waitress Katie, and the gentleman who brought our meals. Did not particularly care for the chilaquiles, however, everything else we tried was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend the smothered breakfast burrito. It was probably the best I've had since a trip to Phoenix, AZ 5 years ago. It was loaded with really good breakfast potatoes, onions, scrambled eggs and sausage and drenched in rich queso. Also enjoyed the cookie butter pancakes. They were so decadent with gingerbread crumbles and some butter that I could eat by itself! Cannot wait to come back here.

    I loved this cute "little" spot. They're not small in size at all, but the atmosphere still feels cozy and inviting. Our team stopped in after a long morning working outdoors. We were dirty, buuuut they welcomed us in anyway lol. Unlike us, the place was clean, cute, and the staff was so sweet and helpful. We only wanted something light so we could get back to work without feeling heavy. I don't remember what all my colleagues ordered, but I had the Farmer's Salad (no pecans) with salmon added. One of my colleagues ordered the same thing plus the mac and cheese. If I'm being honest, I don't think she liked it much, but since I didn't try it, I have no comment. When I return (and I will return), I plan to order the Brussels and the Short Rib Ragu. Short Rib Ragu, come on! Mmmm! Oh I forgot to mention the affordability of all these items. But being based in the DMV and traveling all over I could be sticker scarred lol. Now for the part that really sealed it for me. I was helping at an outdoor event later in the evening, and it was so hot I could barely think straight. The moment I walked in, the staff asked if I'd been out at the event, and the bartender made me an Arnold Palmer with basil just because. Lifesaver! I don't know you, ma'am, but I love you lol. Thank you, Clocktower! Oh parking.... Easy to find not much of an issue.

    Enjoyed lunch at The Clocktower and the setting and service were the highlights. Really love the space. So much natural light. And Wyatt took great care of us. The cocktails were great, but the food unfortunately missed the mark a bit. I had the wild mushroom pasta with added chicken and it was just very bland. As was my husband's side of mac & cheese. It all just needed a big handful of salt. Husband had the brunch burger and it was just okay. Also tried the pork belly appetizer. Flavor was very good but it was more Brussels sprout heavy. Will give the menu another shot at some point.

    This is such a gem in Plain City. In the heart of town, apparently this restaurant was the town's clocktower and was built back in 1902!! Wow, what a historic landmark. There's still remnants of its former glory all around the restaurant, especially upstairs in their events space. Go up before or after your meal to see the mechanics of its clock tower first hand. The space is always walled with windows that look out to hustle and bustle of Plain City. Now about the food and service - All very good. It's New American cuisine so familiar flavors and ingredients updated to bring some uniqueness to your dining experience. For instance, the Asian japchae noodles in the seared salmon entree, or the coconut rim in a cocktail brings a whisper of something different to your meal. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about their menu, and super accommodating to our group. We asked to move to a different spot in the restaurant and was immediately relocated. A protein temperature was miscommunicated, & was immediately remedied. Our meal came out in good timing, & the presentation of the food was appetizing and aesthetic. My salad was a standout in that department. It was colorful, vibrant and fresh. This is definitely a nice place to come if you're ever in Plain City. I'd recommend reservations though. It got quite crowded and full on the weeknight we went.

    The food was absolutely amazing! The fam had the pickled onion rings as appetizer. The breading was just perfection. So soft, so flavorful. They were so good even by themself without dipping sauce. I got the fish n chips as my meal. Again, the breading?! So good. Such fresh fish. I gave my slaw to my mamma bear. That lady LOVES kale. Everything was so fresh here and authentic flavors. I ordered the truffle fries instead of the regular fries, duh of course. We all know I don't enjoy boring things. I had high hopes, but this was my least favorite thing tbh. It was just fries with fresh Parmesan cheese on them, no oils, no seasonings. All good, I will be back y'all, catch me there. The staff was adorable and so kind telling us all about the new(ish) place. It opened up in August 2025. It previously was a hardware and a thrift store at some points. Their main goal as a new restaurant was to try and keep as much as the old architecture as they could. The ceiling details are original. The wooden wall with the ladder. It was so aesthetic, they don't build places like this anymore. it was right in the heart of uptown Plan City. This is my new favorite spot. My parents loved it. Forcing my boyfriend to come here for date night. Reservations only on the weekends other than bar seating.

    Chicken sandwich

    We stopped in very close to opening night and were very impressed. We added our name to the wait list and we able to get a table in about 20 minutes. The drink menu has lots of nice options and the drinks are very carefully crafted and delicious. We also decided on the spoon bread and shrimp for appetizers which arrived quickly. Everything was piping hot and had really nice flavor. For dinner we chose the pasta and the crispy chicken sandwich. The portion sizes were very generous and the service was fantastic. Would absolutely visit again.
