Amazing customer service. Great brunch on the weekends. Highly recommend on the weekends

I have been to this establishment a few times over the last two years. While the food is usually very good, the service and attitude of the employees has been less than stellar. The last time we went was a prime example. For one thing, when you ask a patron whether their gluten-free option is an allergy or a preference, it can come off very rude the way it is ask. If someone wants something gluten-free, then it should just be made gluten-free. No questions asked as that is rather intrusive. The second thing is we were eating lunch and there were about eight other people in there. It was 2:05. We didn't realize what time it was. They could've simply said. "Hey we're closing in the dining room" and we would have left. Instead they started putting up chairs and mopping the floor. There was an elderly couple in there, and I am on crutches due to A knee surgery. We all had to leave over wet floors and they seemed to care less. Even locking the front door and asking us to walk down the wet hallway with no rugs to leave. It was merely 2:10pm. They were downright rude and could've cared less for the patrons safety. read more

Cute café vibe with a little retail area when you walk in. Parking can be tricky, limited parking spots, so just be prepared if it's busy. You grab your own table and order at the counter. Food is brought to you. The lunch menu was decent, though the breakfast menu looked even better, and I expected a few more coffee options. I had the smoked turkey club, super fresh and really good! Overall, good food and a cute spot. I'd come back and try breakfast next time! read more

Yesterday was my second visit. The first time was for brunch and I thought it was really pricey for the amount of food and the fact that it's counter service. For example, my kids got the waffle and it was so little food that I had to order them something else afterwards. I gave it another try yesterday and had another negative experience. One of their main menu items for lunch is the quinoa bowls, but they were completely out of quinoa. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and I was surprised when it showed up at the table. It was fairly small with no side for $15. It was a good sandwich, but pricey for counter service with no side. There's lots of other good restaurants in the area that I would choose instead of this place. read more

Came here with my daughter for her birthday lunch You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Food was good. The place is cute. No alcohol for lunch, not sure about dinner menu. I plan to come back to check out dinner. Enjoy! read more

Had a great lunch outside in the patio at the Locust Table. The menu is small yet packs a lot of variety, all fairly, healthy fresh options for salads, quinoa bowls, sandwiches, breakfast options, and treats. You order inside at the counter and the food is brought to your table. I ordered the Thai peanut quinoa bowl with chicken, a half heirloom tomato salad, and a chocolate chip cookie, all of which were very tasty. The portions are not huge, but they are filling and well-made. I look forward to returning. read more

As a vegan, I was wildly disappointed in my breakfast burrito. The locust table came up as vegan friendly, and while *technically* vegan friendly, the vegan option is just the breakfast burrito without the egg and cheese lol. (Fries and ketchup are technically vegan) So you're paying full price for a burrito that is mainly beans. The salsa on the side was fresh and well salted. I just genuinely feel that there is a lack of effort when claiming to offer vegan options. I'm sure the dinner is nice and breakfast for omnivores, but plant based baddies shouldn't waste their time despite the vegan tag filtering to this restaurant! read more

Wonderful lunch spot. This is a fast casual, farm to table style restaurant. They also have some fun local made gifts, granola, honey, teas. I had the Thai Peanut quinoa bowl with roasted chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The chicken was tendered and the veggies fresh. My food arrived quickly after ordering. A friend ordered the homemade chicken noodle soup which smelled amazing. Signs in the shop advertised happy hour Wednesday thru Saturday which I definitely want to try soon. Half of shareables and deals on drinks. You don't find many Saturday happy hours. Highly recommend trying The Locust Table for breakfast, lunch, happy hour or dinner. read more

Recently had brunch here with friends and it was delicious! I got the avocado toast with an egg on the side and my son had a grilled cheese. My friend had the lemon French toast and another one of my friends has the egg sandwich. It's not a typical sit down restaurant and you order up front and they bring out your food, but the food came out quick and the staff same to check on us regularly. Lots of great lighting and they were even playing the Palms which is always going to help with the vibe. read more

When did The Locust Table start serving dinner?! What a great surprise. Since we always loved the breakfast and lunch there, could not wait to check out the dinner menu. So many unique, healthy dishes. I got the Korean Pulled Pork quinoa bowl, the flavors were amazing. The restaurant is adorable and has a nice outdoor patio. Noticed signage about happy hour, another reason for a return trip. Highly recommend read more

It's been a few years now, and I still occasionally pop in. Alas, my most recent visit was a big "miss." They're still clean, the service is good. But I checked the health scores (they hover around 70-80/100!? That's a little worrying). And add to that - they switched from roasted turkey to "sliced turkey", removed the side salad, and increased the price of the smoked turkey sandwich, and it's lost flavor. For $17, that sandwich, by itself, is not worth it. I'm going to have to keep an eye on posts to see if they improve their food quality, but as it stands, I feel I greatly overpaid and their quality is dropping to make it a worthwhile stop. read more

Was at a coffee house down the road that didn't have scones. (Imo all coffee houses should have scones! Did a quick yelp search and found this great little brunch spot called the Locust Table. This brunch spot also does carry out coffees and bakery items as well as full service brunch. They carry blueberry, peaches n cream and a savory ham and cheese scones. I chose this peach scone and was super surprised when I found it also was made from whole wheat and had pecans in it-- Both bonuses for me! Will return for a proper meal in a month or two as everything that servers brought out and passed by me as I stood there ordering, looked amazing. read more

Love the Egg Sandwich and breakfast foods! Self serve coffee you can refill as much as you want while popping up your laptop if fun. Light and airy atmosphere with lots of window light and plants. A great place to meet friends on weekends and breakfast brunch! Have not tried the dinner yet, but intend to. read more

This was a lovely surprise! My friend suggested it and I was happy to go along. I opted for their quiche which had sausage and kale along with a small salad on the side. I also ordered the pumpkin scone and then the ooey oatmeal cookie for later. I ended up taking most of the scone to go too. The quiche was just wonderful. Perfectly cooked with a flaky crust and the flavors made it special. The scone was huge and paired well with their coffee. I tried the cookie on my way back to Indy but had to save it for later because I didn't realize it was covered in powder sugar and that doesn't go well with driving. This place was so good and all the employees were kind! read more

I had a nice time. The inside was cute and garden like. The food was good, but I don't feel this is the first place I would pick to go back to again. The service was good, everyone was so nice. I had the Belgium Waffle and the Blueberry Earl Gray Lavender Scone. It was good. read more

Perfect stop for a light casual lunch. They serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The menu is small but appealing. The chicken salad was delicious. Full of raisins and nuts for texture. I appreciated that you can order it served in lettuce cups. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. They have separate cocktails and kids menus available. I really enjoyed the tequila sunrise brunch cocktail. They also have a pretty outdoor patio for people watching on Olentangy. read more

We were in Columbus on my bd, started looking for a place to eat lunch that was different. Didn't know what we wanted, and yelp was not really helping, lol. Decided to try this place. The ladies were very helpful with the menu. It's very open, and bright and clean. Our food came out quickly . We both got turkey clubs, it was real turkey breast, thick bacon, fresh veggies and bread. I brought half home, which evened out the cost. It was very good, and we'd eat there again. read more

Food was really good. Fresh ingredients and good customer service. Would go back again.

If you like Fox in the Snow's egg sandwich, you'll most definitely want to give Locust Table's egg sandwich! I stopped by after an appointment at Skin & Sugar to pick up an online order. I could never tell just from looking outside if this was a traditional dine-in spot or if I could order at a counter, turns out it's the latter . The interior and homey and welcoming. The woman who got me my order was really nice and their retail selections were very tempting. I ordered an egg sandwich (sans arugula). The herb focaccia was fantastic, the eggs and bacon perfectly made, and I really liked the sauce it came with. I also got a blueberry lavender scone that was moist with still-juicy blueberries baked inside. It was that good after sitting out on my counter overnight, so I can only imagine how good they are fresh. I'll most definitely be ordering here again soon! read more

Ambiance = 4 stars Exceptionally clean and bright, easy parking, pleasant decor, uncomfortable chairs Service = 4 stars Friendly and helpful counter service where you order, they also deliver your meal and clear the table, drinks are self-service Food = 3 stars Lunch selections much better than breakfast, including fantastic chicken salad sandwich, tomato soup and grilled cheese. If you are in Powell looking for breakfast and bypass Anne's Southern Kitchen (my fave) to come here, then definitely skip the avocado toast (a big miss), and sorry to say the breakfast burrito is only marginally better. Waffle looks better as does 2 egg breakfast with sides. I truly want this place to succeed and thrive in Powell. We need a place like this. But I'm hoping they can up their game with a restart/refresh on their breakfast menu. read more

Casual breakfast and lunch restaurant. I came to meet a friend for lunch. She ordered the chipotle bowl and I ordered the veggie burger and fizzy bloody Mary. The veggie burger tasted very fresh and homemade. I did not need any condiments. Note this is the type of restaurant where you order first and they bring you the food and you pay at the table. Nothing wrong with that style I just like to know that ahead of time as I was using the restaurant as a meeting place. The menu is small with multiple healthy options. I only came for lunch and never saw what the breakfast menu was. It would've been fun to be to order breakfast too. The inside decor is trendy minimalist design. There is outdoor seating with numerous patio tables. read more

This is a perfect location for a breakfast, brunch, date, fast weekday breakfast, study area or spot on the weekends. It smelled so good inside & the staff was so nice. The options were very diverse, but definitely pricey. You get what you pay for, but all local, fresh ingredients. I got the bacon and roasted potatoes, a quick snack after the farmer's market around the corner. I sat outside & the bees were horrible, so I for sure recommend sitting inside, no matter how nice it looks. The food came out reasonably quickly. I will be back here on a date or with my friends. Perfect spot!! read more

We have been here a few times and the results are very consistent and very good. I've had the chicken sandwich (great), huevos rancheros (great), breakfast burrito (good), and my wife loves the granola (great). I had the chicken noodle soup today and it was good but not amazing (I'm a soup lover/snob). My wife says she wishes they had a bit more variety of food and more importantly drink options like lattes given it's a brunch/lunch place. She also wishes they displayed the calories on their menu. The other issue is the prices are quite high. The chicken sandwich, which isn't big, is $16 and it comes with no side so I spent $6 for a cup of soup. This is a casual place so that seems high. But the food is great and convenient to us which is why we go back. read more

For our 13th Anniversary lunch, my wife and I went to The Locust Table where we enjoyed a delicious lunch on the patio. Order and pay at the counter, find a seat and the food is brought out when it's ready. The sandwiches are packed with flavor and really tasty. Go for it! It's that good.

Had a wonderful dinner at Locust Table tonight. The black bean, quinoa, beet burger was excellent! The salad with garbanzo beans and chicken was a real treat. We had the best service.

Incredible. Service. 5-star. Cuisine. 5-star. Atmosphere. 5-star. Overall Experience 15 star. That's the math folks. The Locust Table has a friendly, chill vibe while they bring luxury service and experience to everything they do. Our most recent visit today featured a group of 10 and they delivered incredible dishes. The breakfast burrito is one of the best you can buy in Columbus; loaded with black beans, organic eggs, sausage and of course fresh salsa. The Belgian waffles are homemade, made to order with complimentary Ohio real maple syrup. Perfect amount of cinnamon, fruit and cream on top of the waffles. Cool having the trains zoom by and the kids enjoyed their fantastic Star Wars and sponge bob crayon kits that were offered up right away. Also the coffee is a must mention here, great starter along with a strawberry banana smoothie. Seriously amazing. In the loaded Powell restaurant scene this is a MUST VISIT. Have fun and enjoy!! read more

While driving to our destination of Shale Hollow Park, the family wanted to grab a bite to eat before we explored the reserve. We checked Yelp for places where we could get brunch on a Sunday and decided on The Locust Table. I was excited to check it out because I love new places. The ambiance is a huge part of making a restaurant hit or miss; this restaurant has a great feel in that department. The Locust Table is pretty wide-opened but somewhat quaint at the same time. It has many windows, making the place very bright and airy. Customer service is another huge part of making or breaking a restaurant, but this place hits the mark when it comes to that. When I came here with my family, It took them a while to bring out our order. When We inquired about what was going on, management apologized and remedied the situation for us. Food-wise, I would say that I will have to come back here and possibly try something else or prepare my mind to have a meal with a mild flavor. I typically love for my meals to have bold and bright flavors. read more

Having the vaccine means I can get back to visiting different coffee shops in the Columbus area. This is my second time visiting The Locust Table. Unlike the first time, I decided to sit here with my school work and enjoy the atmosphere. And lovely it was! This time I ordered a cup of coffee and the gooey butter oatmeal cookie. I wanted the lavender earl grey scone, but unfortunately they were out. I ordered at the front and the cashier asked whether I wanted to sit inside or outside (inside) and told me my table. I was given a coffee cup to fill up my coffee, as well as some half and half. The waitress brought my cookie to the table about a minute later. I do recommend this place if you want to work on your laptop, and they seem to encourage it here, given the number of outlets in the dining area. It's a fact that I'll be coming here again. read more

Finally had a chance to check out this local eatery and we were not disappointed. We'd heard good things but just haven't been able to make it over until now. Wife ordered the egg soufflé sandwich and it was great. I got to partake as she couldn't finish it. I had the breakfast burrito sans avocado and the flavor was fantastic. Definitely recommend the salsa, even put it on the sandwich. The side of potatoes were just right. Crispy and tasty but not too many. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Only limitation is the more condensed menu but the upside is that it varies between weekday and weekend, providing different flavor opportunities. read more
