Service was amazing! Ordered the French dip sandwich and it came with a side of fries, au jus, and a pickle. Everything was great. Definitely recommend asking for some of their house made ranch on the side for the fries! read more

This is a nice "divey" kind of place that has good food and a good atmosphere. Everyone was mostly pleased with their meals with one issue (out of the 4 of us). My wife ordered her Cheeseburger Med-Well and it came to her Med-Rare which always grosses her out. They cooked it more for her. We had the Crab Tater Tots and the Potato Cakes and they were delicious. I also had the bratwurst sandwich which was also delicious! read more

The Old Mohawk - Bratwurst Sandwich and potato cakes- I had already eaten a few potatoes but they are awesome! - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

It's been a while since we've ventured down to German Village to visit The Old Mohawk but it never disappoints. The Old Mohawk is a German Village institution and rightly so. The place has a great old tavern atmosphere, a great menu, good food and great service. We had a seat right next to the front window and were able to enjoy the activity outside while enjoying our meal inside. If you're anywhere near German Village, you owe to yourself to give the Old Mohawk a try. Just a couple of blocks north of Schiller Park. read more

Also in "German town" - we chose to try this on our nd night in town after a whole day of exploring the State Park. We were pleasantly surprised that everything we ordered was so good! Hubby got a German platter - the Bratwurst plate. I got the soup and sandwich- not just any sandwich - it was called A Mother Mohawk - but I swapped out the rye bread for sourdough. Omg roast beef and chicken salad in the sandwich- WHAT A COMBO INDEED! I dream of it. And the tomato bisque soup was amazing as well! My son got the smoked chicken ravioli which was just as delicious- the sauce was perfect. We also got a side of onion rings as an appetizer (no pic) but was just as yummy! And the horseradish sauce was unexpectedly yummy- I could not stop stealing my husband's to dip my onion rings in! Two out of two of our restaurants picks in Germantown were amazing! read more

I always forget about this Columbus mainstay and their turtle soup. Got the chance to visit again after many years and enjoyed trying the chicken salad quesadilla. Salad had a nice texture and seasoning and I enjoyed the crispy tortilla. Great, friendly service. Parking is a bit challenging and the decor can use a bit of updating without losing their old timey feel. read more

The Old Mohawk - Chicken Salad Quesadilla - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Wife wanted to go back to Schmidt's since we loved it there the night before but as tourists and our first time in Columbus, I talked her into trying someplace else. We settled on this restaurant cuz we saw it the night before as we strolled the residential streets of German town looking for the crazy bookstore. It was a great choice in the end cuz we all LOVED each of our entrees and couldn't fathom why we hesitated to go here in the first place! Highly recommend- you won't regret our 3 entrees: the Bratwurst platter, soup and sandwich combo (wife raved about the sandwich she chose - The Mother Mohawk - sourdough bread instead of rye) and she's picky about her soup but she could not get enough of the tomato soup she chose. My son unexpectedly got the chicken ravioli and we all had a taste of it and it was also such a great choice - cannot go wrong if you chose these 3 for sure.  *Residential parking only. read more

Went here on a recent trip to Columbus. The food was fantastic. I had the sandwich with roast beef and chicken salad (perhaps called the mohawk?) which was so interesting and delicious. I got the half soup half sandwich combo with the French onion soup. The soup was sooooo good, very deep rich flavor. Service was pretty good but maybe a tad slow which was understandable on a very busy Friday night. The ambiance wasn't the best. My friends and I were sort of shoved into a corner at the front of the restaurant that had seats that were pretty difficult to get into and out of. But overall we would probably return. read more

All I've ever heard about this place is "you gotta try the turtle soup!!" Well you know what - I've been here many times now and I still have yet to try it. They're always out!!! It must be that good. This place feels like the movie Cheers inside. Lots of cool paraphernalia on the walls, great front windows and recently they've improved the outdoor patio for both winter and summer. Everyone seems to know one another - the food is good, the service is great, I love the community vibes - it's a great neighborhood spot. read more

Ordered crab filled tater tots , turtle soup and ruben sandwich 1/2 each. Crab seal tater tots were hot and tasted pretty good. Wish sauce was spicier. My Ruben was wet on one side, but overall tasted.Okay , but the wetness of the bread was a turnoff. Turtle soup tasted decent.but mostly just vegetables. Another party member ordered taco salad and got only one small sour cream, and 1 small salsa for the big taco salad.They ended up asking for ranch dressing because the salad was dry and the lettuce was wilted. Another member of our party ordered chicken alfredo , which was very dry , not nearly enough sauce. They did ask for extra sauce be added to their to go box. My brother had turtle soup and a half a sandwich , which was okay. Customer service was . Not sure I'll return to try anything different. Service was pretty good but I won't return. read more

Place was very clean, bathrooms and I could see into prep areas for food and looked amazing well taken care off Had the mushroom and bacon burger and it was okay. I'm not a big thick burger guy. Wife and daughter split a blacken cajun chicken pasta and they liked it. I'd come back. read more

I think the most authentic Old Mohawk experience is sitting inside of the wood-themed, large barred restaurant. But for this Sunday brunch, I sat outside and enjoyed the sun and (relative) seclusion of their sidewalk patio. Yes, couples, children and pets made their way past us on the other side of the gated off patio, but it was hardly a distraction from the sunlight and good vibes in this chill German Village block. The Lasagna with Chorizo was a good choice. Adding a side house salad was an equally good choice. Having a draft Paloma may have been a better choice. They're also known for their meatloaf, and I'm definitely interested to try it. read more

First and last time ordering from this restaurant. The food is horribly unseasoned and portion sizes are portion sizes are abysmal.

The Old Mohawk never disappoints! I love the vibe - casual, cozy, doesn't take itself too seriously. Staff is laid back but timely. Good prices for German Village. The food is obviously the selling point. Classic, timeless menu items. Today I got the Mother Mohawk sandwich, which was incredible. The roast beef was juicy and flavorful, while the chicken salad provided a nice contrast and texture. Dipped in the sauce, it's a 10/10 sandwich. We also got the crab tater tots as an appetizer, which were pretty good. In the past I've gotten the bratwurst sandwich, which is phenomenal as well. read more

Cute place. Even on a Monday night they were quite busy. Service was good. Food just ok.i ordered a Reuben. The bread was rye and soggy. The corned beef not very flavorful. Generous amount of tasty sauerkraut. Sauce served on the side which is a positive. Not too flavorful which is a negative. I have been before and had the very delicious veggie wrap which I should have gotten this time. read more

What a great little pub/restaurant! Has a true old time feel to it, situated in German Village. The staff was outstanding! We were quickly seated. It wasn't very busy, so we were able to choose a seat.we were quickly brought water and menu's. We ordered the crab tater tots as an appetizer, friggin' delicious! They come with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. I would order three of these the next time as a meal itself! I ordered the half sandwich and soup. I had the Mother Mohawk sandwich because it sounded interesting- Grilled roast beef and chicken salad covered with Swiss cheese on rye. So gooood, I'd definitely order it again. My soup was the turtle soup. I've heard so many people talk about it. Again, absolutely delicious! Just try it! Well worth the visit! My wife had the lunch special which was a Pesto Chicken sandwich with fries. I got to try it, a feat mix of flavors! The chicken breast was so moist and tender. Covered in pesto, tomato and onion on a brioche bun. We'll definitely be going back! Great job to all of the employees! Parking is limited, so you may have to walk a little, but that's how it is for most places in that area. read more

The Old Mohawk - 1/2 Salad or Soup & Sandwich Mother Mohawk and Mohawk Turtle Soup - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A cute, homey restaurant with "small town", small business vibes. Staff was super friendly, portion sizes were large, and the meal was delicious. It may not look like much, but it packs a whole lot of "great" inside of it! PROS: -Service is fantastic. The servers, despite being less than an hour from close, were super friendly, and they made me feel like I was part of everything. No clique-y vibes or disgruntled employees. Lots of joking and laughing from the staff when they weren't serving. -Food was delivered freakishly fast. We had barely got our beer when we had apps, and we had only managed to get the chili cooled enough for a few bites before entrees came out. The kitchen was really on top of things. -Really large selection of salad options. Their ranch was really delicious, but most importantly, all the salads felt like relatively "healthy" salads unlike many places that try to make them restaurant "quality" by stuffing them with cheese and other treat-y options. This could definitely be a place you could take someone who had to watch what they were eating for various reasons. -Prices were very, very reasonable, and we came away with a good meal without spending too much. -It was raining when we left, and staff was offering to walk people to their cars with their restaurant umbrella. Seriously, it was amazing. CONS: -No dedicated parking lot. There were decent available spots on a Thursday night at dinner, though. It just might be a few blocks walk. -As a chill night, it was okay, but I could feel this place feeling a bit crowded with tables too close together on really busy nights. read more

SEVEN WORDS: COMFORTABLE BUT UPSCALED HOLE IN THE WALL. . My Wife Really Enjoyed her First Outing to Old Mohawk. I like OM, but have never loved it - that; however, is an oddball personal preference. I would always want to give OM 4 Stars, but that's Unfair, so I will give it 5, since 4.0 is realistically too low. Let me Tell you Why. . We went on a Sunday around 7pm. It was still pretty busy, which only means High-Quality. . The Restaurant itself has a "Bull & Finch /Cheers" Bar feel, but features a fantastic and complete menu, based on American Comfort Cuisine: Lasagna Entrees, Bratwurst Plates, Hamburgers, French Dip, Turkey or Roast Beef Reubens, Steaks, and a Full Array of a Half-Dozen Artisan Salads, all priced in the $17-28 Range - and feature 1 or 2 included side dishes. . I ordered the Chef Salad; Mt wife, the Bratwurst Plate. They arrived well within 10 minutes - super fast - and both dishes were of reasonable or ample size. . My Cheff Salad was Complete and the ingredients were all very delicious and fresh. An added bonus was the house ranch dressing. It had a good buttermilk-lemon zest bite and was set aside to allow self-mixing. Although I finished my bowl, I was very hungry. This was a very big serving. . My wife ordered the Bratwuest Plate. She said it was yummy, but didn't like the included potato cakes - which were more like potato hash medallions, pan-seared and crispy with a flaky inner layer. I stole a bite of the Brat and it was decent - but I'm ysed to non-brat Bratwursts - so it was good for what it was. The potato "cakes" were quite good. I loved the outer crust. . Our bill, including 1 Plate, 1 full Salad, soda, and a coffee, came to $40+tip. Great price. . Although 5-syars I'd usually "A place I'd drive out of the way to eat" place- its unfair to give anything but 5-stars. . So...there you go. read more

Outstanding lil' bar and gastropub in German Village... Stopped by TOM on a Saturday for lunch... It's a friendly, kitchy, neighborhood joint.

This lil' place is certainly worth a stop when coming to German Village. read more

I LOVE the Old Mohawk. Great atmosphere and it was the perfect place to go for a glass of wine and warm meal with a friend on a very rainy night! The homemade meatloaf was delicious with the green beans and mashed potatoes... however I will say I think the sauce / gravy that is on the meatloaf did not sit well and made me very sick the next morning. I pinpointed the cause of the sickness to really only be something I consumed at dinner that night and I put my money on the gravy... I have a sensitive stomach and it just did not agree with it I guess! The food was excellent and I do not believe I got food poisoning... just a little be careful to anyone else who might have a sensitive stomach - perhaps skip the gravy on the meatloaf and enjoy it as is! read more

Mohawk is one of my go to's in German Village. It has a classic, homey feel. Not many frills but great prices, great service, and pretty good food all things considered. Below are the things I liked and didn't like so much on my most recent visit. Things I liked: * affordable prices * nice portions * veggie chili had a bit of a peppery-ness and a kick to it * fried pickles were not too salty * great service * lots of seating * great bread (we had the Mother Mohawk and Turkey Reuben) Things I didn't like: * Cauliflower wings were not available but were still listed on the menu (our server indicated they would not be available for some time so keep that in mind if you're planning a visit soon) * our table was a bit wobbly * parking can be tricky at peak times, but luckily we found a spot nearby read more

Great service even though they were super busy! Our waitress was very kind about working around my gluten allergy! Salad was amazing!

I got together with a childhood friend that I have not seen in fifteen years for lunch at the Mohawk Restaurant. It was nice to hear that he was doing well in his profession and marriage. He has one child and a Golden Retriever named Rex. He chose the Mohawk Restaurant because we often came here forbrews while living off campus. The restaurant dates back to the 1920's and is reflected in the ambiance. Brick walls, dark wood flooring, historic photos on the wall and an antique bar. As for the food, I ordered the Mother Mohawk (grilled roast beef, homemade chicken salad with swiss cheese on marbled bread). They offer a unique mustard with caraway horseradish sauce) $13.95. It paired well with a local brew they called CBC Bodhi $5.75. One brew often follows another. The service was sufficiently speedy considering the number of tables inside and outside she needed to attend to. She appreciated the tip. My childhood friend ordered the Bratwurst sandwich also $13.95. There is only street parking in the German Village. read more

Came here for a "late" dinner around 9PM on a Thursday, as most places in Columbus seem to close at 9PM. It was pretty empty but had a very homey, old school vibe. Our waitress/hostess greeted us and got us seated quickly. Food wise, I ordered the soup and sandwich combo and we got fried pickles to start. We wanted the fried cauliflower but they've been out for months apparently. The pickles came out hot and weren't overly pickley and well battered and crisp. I actually enjoyed it with the ranch. I got the mother mohawk and french onion soup as my main and again, I found both to be very enjoyable. I wish the bread in the soup wasn't soaked through so I could have some textural contrast but the melty cheese on top helped. The bread on the sandwich was great and toasted and the chicken salad-reuben combo was interesting and delicious. Overall, it was a cute neighborhood eatery and very affordable! read more

The Mohawk never disappoints! The food is always top notch and served fresh. The drinks are strong! The service is quick and attentive. We started with drinks, appetizer, meal, and dessert.

We tried them out today because their patio is pet friendly. I got the Bacon Mushroom Swiss burger with potatoes wedges and a Reds Apple Ale, my husband tried the Bartworst Entre with potatoe cakes and a Columbus IPA. We were both very impressed.

Went here for the first time and overall had a good experience! It is a cute little place in the German Village neighborhood. The Old Mohawk does have a fairly large menu. We enough ended up getting the BBQ Bacon Burger with fries. I enjoyed the burger, but there was just a little too much BBQ on it for me and made it a bit messy - would get it on the side in the future. The fries and service were great! Parking was not hard to find, there's free street parking. read more

Food and service were great. Sat outside which was enjoyable. Easy parking on the street on front of the restaurant.

We stopped in to Old Mohawk last Sunday around 3 or 3:30. There was no wait. This was my second visit, all I remember from the first visit is that the food was great and the prices were reasonable. The same held true with this visit. I ordered the crab tots, they were served with bong bong sauce which had just a little kick and amazing! Highly recommended. We ordered the blackened chicken philly with onion rings and a salad. Everything was fresh and seemed to be made in house. The service was friendly and it's a super casual environment. I highly recommend this place! read more

Great visit at the Old Mohawk. The few times I have eaten here I have always been happy we went. This trip we totally lucked out and found street parking directly across from the restaurant and there was no wait to be seated. Love the atmosphere and vibe here and that they have local artists work in the wall that is for sale. We started with an appetizer tonight and went with the Fried Smokey Bacon Gouda Bites served with a marinara dipping sauce ($7.99). Theses are so good and the marina is totally yummy and I want to know what else they use it in. I had such a hard time deciding as everything sounded so good. After what seemed like forever I decided on the French Dip w/au jus . It was served on a toasted bun w/sliced roast beef and topped with grilled onions & mushrooms, and provolone cheese ($12.50). It was a great choice and really liked the au jus. I even dipped my onion rings in it. I took my sandwich to the next level and added some of the caraway horseradish sauce to it. My partner had the Mother Mohawk sandwich. It had grilled roast beef AND homemade chicken salad. It was topped w/ Swiss cheese and served on a marble rye bread. It had a side of the delicious caraway horseradish sauce that I dipped into too ($12.50). Fun Fact - The sandwich was introduced in 1985 and is a customer favorite. The Old Mohawk has been a staple in German Village and Columbus for decades. My partner remembers his Mom loving this place too when she was in school many years ago. The Old Mohawk celebrated their 25th Anniversary in 2002 so this year should make the Old Mohawk's 45th! read more

Great restaurant in a good location with lots of character and history. We ordered crab tots for an appetizer and they were so unique & tasty! Def get those! I ordered a fish sandwich and the fish was HUGE! To be honest, it tasted better alone with the tartar sauce than it did in the sandwich but no complaints. Everything was super good and friendly was awesome read more

I will be honest with you, I don't know why this restaurant has such great reviews It is definitely an old-timey restaurant, clear by the fact that they have turtle soup on the menu. Service was not good - our waiter hardly spoke to us and seemed like she definitely didn't want to be there and didn't care about the customers. They have some pretty eclectic offerings; I can't say I've ever seen a sandwich before with both deli turkey and chicken salad on it, but they have one here. I got the hummus plate. It was kind of weird having piles of chopped veggies around it. If you're going to give veggies, make them dippable so you can eat the hummus with it. I wasn't sure what to do with the huge pile of diced red onion and had the tomatoes been wedges instead it would've been easier to eat them. The hummus itself was incredibly thick and not creamy and could kill a vampire with the amount of raw garlic they put in it. Holy cow. My husband got the BBQ bacon burger and he said it was good. I tried the wedge fries and that is by far this restaurant's saving grace. They were crunchy, crispy, and delicious. I could have eaten a whole plate of those. If you can't eat dairy (it gives me motion sickness), there are not many options for you here, either. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

The Old Mohawk is one of my favorite places in Columbus. I loved the neighborhood feel and the ambiance of The Old Mohawk. Our servers have always been super with just the proper amount of attentiveness. I got the Mother Mohawkas, my favorite signature item, grilled roast beef, and homemade chicken salad topped with Swiss cheese on marble rye bread and served with a side of caraway horseradish sauce. Wow. It sounds ridiculous, but it is delicious. I also enjoy Santa Fe Beef Quesadilla Taco beef, black beans, lettuce, corn relish, and diced tomato. It was grilled in a sun-dried tomato tortilla, served with salsa and sour cream. One of my wife's favorites is Crustless Pizza, Penne tossed with marinara, topped with mozzarella and provolone cheese, and baked to a golden brown. If you are in German Village, give them a try. read more
