This place is amazing. The food was excellent and the service was amazing. Our server made our granddaughter so happy. We had bratwurst and the Mother Mohawk. Both were amazing. We are definitely going back on our next trip to Columbus. read more

The best garbanzo bean and pork soup. Ever. Every table full but we were greeted at the door and after a 15 minute wait we immediately found our seats. The beer menu was presented and we got our drinks with in five minutes great selection. I ordered off the restaurant week menu. Selecting the garbanzo bean with shredded pork soup and a bed head red lager beer in the bottle. The three fish tacos came within 10 minutes after the soup was finished. They were hot and they were fresh. And very good dessert was a great chocolate cake The old Mohawk restaurant is located in the heart of German Village just minutes from downtown. Every lunch and dinner is busy. So if you're hungry and you want good food get here early. read more

A definite Fav. Always consistent with service and food. Won't break the bank either. Friendly "must go" place when in German Village. read more

The Old Mohawk is a great place nestled in German Village. The menu is both modern and traditional with lots of options that work for various diet types. I had the Bistro Salmon Salad that had feta, olives, salmon and a balsamic dressing. My friend had a grilled cheese with bacon and chips with a side salad. Portions were large and service was great! Beer and drink selection had a good variety along with a funky vibe on the decor that I liked. It was busy, but people moved fast and the kitchen had our food out fast! If you are in the area, make sure you stop by for a meal! read more

Friendly staff. Nice ambiance for a true neighborhood bar/restaurant. I want to give it more stars but the food is just not that great. Gets 5 stars for everything else and 3 for the food read more

The Old Mohawk - Adobo burrito - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Drove out of my way to visit this restaurant during a day trip to Columbus. Our server didn't say hi or introduce himself. He dropped off waters and walked away without asking if we wanted something else to drink or even giving us their offerings. I knew what I wanted immediately and had my sister order for me while I ran to the lady's room; when I came back, she informed me that our server wouldn't take my order because the menu item I wanted "is not very good, I'll wait for her to come back". I ended up ordering something I didn't even want bc the server had insisted that the mac n cheese was bland... and the burger I got was also bland. Tasted like a school lunch, and overpriced. I could have gotten a Wendy's burger and actually enjoyed it, or at least finished it. read more

My mother in law suggested this place on a whim; I'm glad she did!!!!! Hands down the best pulled pork meal I've had in a very long time. I can't remember the name of the sandwich I had, but it had pulled pork, jalapeños, fried onions, coleslaw, and egg on an onion bun. Paired with a Stella brewski and fries? Can't go wrong. There was a little bit of a wait, but it was so worth it. It was decorated very well and had a nice bar. I will definitely be back next time we visit the area. read more

Amazing service and food. The chef salad was very fresh and flavorful and the smoked chicken ravioli was outstanding.

Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday early evening. Place was just over half full so getting a table was not a problem. I ordered the cajun shrimp and crab pasta. And we also ordered Gouda mac and cheese bites. The mac and cheese bites came out first and were delicious. Very rich and cheesy. They were fried perfectly so there wasnt an excess of oil dripping off them. Worth getting again. The pasta was also very tasty. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and creamy. I was a little disappointed with the seafood though. The shrimp was very very tiny. Like the size of maybe a dime. And the crab meat was a little light on the quantity also. There was enough to know there was some there, but not enough to get a good bite full. There was several other items on the menu that I would like to try so I wont have any issue on returning. Just might pass on the seafood pasta. read more

This place is great. My wife and I have ended up here 3 times now because The Thurman Café had over an hour wait and really we should know better because they are always friendlier and there's better selection of food here. The beer selection, atmosphere and view are all better here as well. The burgers are delicious and come with toppings, bacon and everything for under $10. The Reuben always makes my wife happy and they have good beer of all kinds on tap and even more good beer in bottles. I've yet to have anything from the menu that wasn't really tasty. I'm always curious to try the turtle soup (yes, it's made with actual turtle meat), but I haven't brought up the courage to do it. The crowd here is always chill and the view looking out onto the cobblestone streets and old houses of Mohawk and Kossuth make the whole thing just feel homey and like your neighborhood pub. I've been here a few times and it seems like during the day it's an older but nice crowd and on weekends in the evening the crowd is still very relaxed, but a bit younger with a bunch of people in their 20s. This place will just make you happy with a combination good food, good people, good service and good vibes. read more

Recently joined a large family group for lunch at Mohawk. Sat at the long table in the back. Our group was served in a timely fashion and the food was good; the Hot Brat Sliders are more a meal than an app, really. Prices are in a typical casual dining range. Decent beer list, some interesting crafts but domestics are not shunned here. Old Mohawk is generally what I'd call a 4-star place on Yelp but I'll add the last star for character and a good menu, and I've never had a bad meal here (in infrequent visits over a long time living in Cbus); it should be a first choice or an alternate for when that other 'German' place down the block can't deal with their crowds. As they have no parking lot, OM's only challenge is parking in the neighborhood if you've driven yourself there; the narrow brick streets and tirebuster curbs require some extra caution. read more

The Old Mohawk looks like something you could have walked into during the 1950's to me. Don't take that as a slam because I love the exposed brick and hardwood. Their design doesn't need to be changed because it is part of what makes it what it is. Been here a handful of times over the last year after hearing I should stop for over a decade and I have not been disappointed. The staff has always been on the job; fast, friendly, attentive, accurate, and they say please and thank you. The food has been consistently good. I have ordered the Sloppy Jose (more taco-ey than ketchup-y), BELT (great tomato and bacon), and the Chicago Brat (never thought to put tomatoes, pickles, or jalepenos on a brat) and enjoyed them all. I highly recommend their kettle chips, crispy, crunchy, and the right amount of salty. Some day I wil be brave enough to try turtle soup, it may be the only place in Columbus to offer it and it is one of the few places left in the country to have it as a regular menu item. I just have to convince myself that pets can also be food. This isn't a Mohawk issue, just a my problem. I really think this is a restaurant that has something for everyone on their extensive menu. They are good for eating solo or with a group. They offer a lot of items that are unique that you won't find at a chain and at the same time are able to add their own spin on items you could find elsewhere. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The place is great! I had the Mother Mohawk! Strongly recommend!!! Service is impeccable! read more

Our favorite place and Barb is our favorite bartender ! We always enjoy the time spent with family and friends.

Came here while in town for work when I wanted to check out German Village. This place was once a general store way back in the early 1900s so I hear and the ambiance is fitting- old, rustic and charming. Service was great, food was good, I'd come back. read more

Hadn't been here in a while so we thought we'd stop in last night. What a great week night choice for a sidewalk/patio dinner. Their sandwiches are silly-good and we shared a piece of the key-lime pie... Holy moly you gotta do it! Great service read more

I ordered from here through Skip the Dish & YUM, YUM, YUM! I had never been to this restaurant in person so I was kind of nervous. Though I was hesitant I decided to get the fried fish. I was shocked at how many pieces of fish there were; 2 large pieces & two medium sized pieces. It was warm, crunchy (but not too crunchy) & not soggy. Oh, & not too fishy tasting. The tartar sauce was your typical kind of tartar sauce. The one thing I absolutely disliked was their cole slaw. I can't really explain it but my taste buds weren't digging it. But coleslaw is one of those hit-or-miss kind of things. I will definitely have to go to this restaurant as there are other menu items I'd like to check out. read more

Excellent spot in German Village. The Adobe quesadilla was big bold & packed with flavor. Altho a bit spicy for me. I loaded on some sour cream to cut the heat a bit. Still drank 3 glasses of water. Lol. Excellent service! Will make the trip again. read more

If you want a nice restaurant in German Village with great service and food, stop here. Their staff and patrons are incredibly friendly and add to the friendliness of environment. I recommend any sandwich in the menu! read more

I've never had a meal here I haven't loved. Not to mention you can't beat the price. I was shocked when I showed up for happy hour and ordered the pulled pork sliders (which are on the appetizer list) cost me $4.50 - you get 4 pulled pork sliders, slaw & chips. Everyone can find something they like here (even my vegan roommate) Update: ordered carry out tonight and the food was not very good. Mainly the Gorgonzola potato chips. They were very bland and literally only two chips actually had cheese on them. Not impressed. read more

This is a cute bar/restaurant in the heart of German Village. The service is great, and the turtle soup is delicious. Do come with an empty stomach, though, because the portions are huge. I ordered the hummus plate, and ate about a quarter of it. We sat at a table, but they have a cute bar with two TVs which was not that busy either time we were there. read more

The Old Mohawk Grill is always a easy choice! Great atmosphere, Great Service, and Food is always satisfying. We popped in for lunch on a Saturday, and found a great table next to the front window. They have a fun bar too, if you want to grab a cold one or just passing through. If you are up for an appetizer, try the Sweet Tots and the Fried Mac & Cheese balls. Entrees & sandwiches are amazing. Four of us tried numerous menu items - Turtle Soup, Bratwurst Sandwich, Deano (Bologna) Sandwich, and a Caesar salad. The Bratwurst and Mohawk sandwiches are incredible there. We had Kim as a waitress and she gave numerous great recommendations including the Deano and the potato cakes. Both were great. Anytime you are in the German Village or downtown area, stop and visit the family at the Mohawk. Great time again team and thank you. read more

Another example of why you can't trust popular opinion. Everyone talking about how great the French dip is never mention that it is a mini sandwich. Half the size of any French dip I've ever been served. lol. What a JOKE. Not going back. read more

I just love this place. When my wife and I visit German Village and don't want to drop a fortune on a meal, this place never disappoints. Great drinks, great food, great service, great prices. read more

Always like The Old Mohawk, friendly and noisy neighborhood bar and restaurant. Huge menu and nightly specials. Service is friendly. Fun place to check out but parking can be a little iffy. Worth finding a spot! read more

Don't bother going if you are remotely close to closing time. The kitchen is totally shut down more than 15 min before close. Normally establishments start closing procedures in advance but keep small aspects open for customers - especially places with a bar. Then fully close after the actual closing time. read more

I live around the corner and due to covid wanted to support local restaurants. After reviewing the menu on Yelp I had an idea of what I wanted to order (Cobb salad with salmon). The salmon wasn't listed on the menu but the waitress asked the chef and they were able to make it. That should have been a sign. The salad was decent but the salmon was overcooked and not worth the 16 dollars. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Columbus on a day-trip from hometown of Pittsburgh. We drove around the German Village area looking for something to eat. I am so glad we chose Mohawk's! It looks a little dive-y from the outside, and their menu is pretty assorted so I figured everything would be just average. I was so wrong! The kettle chips were a yummy start to the meal. The boyfriend got the Monday special of choose your own pasta, deciding on the blackened chicken Alfredo. Amazing presentation and equally amazing taste!!! I got the chicken quesadilla, which was a solid dish and generously portioned. Desert of buckeye millionaire cake was downright decadent. The place had an intimate, trendy vibe with dim lighting and cool wall decorations, prices were reasonable, and our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. If we are ever back in Columbus we are visiting the Old Mohawk again! read more

We go here because it's in the neighborhood. Service is usually decent and it's a quick stop, however, the food is super over priced for what it is. Nothing here that I find to be spectacular. I do know my boyfriend enjoys the turtle soup quite a bit, but agrees most other items are pretty subpar read more

My husband and I ordered and shared the Mohawk Monster Quesadillas and rum cake. I thought the quesadilla was just okay. My husband liked the rum cake. I didn't think it was above average. Waitress was very nice and service was prompt. We were there in the middle of the day on a Friday so there wasn't many other tables with with customers. Would I come here again....no. Do I have any negative comments or complaints....no. If in the area, it's a nice local restaurant. But I wouldn't drive an hour way to eat here as we did. read more

This is a 3.5 star review and very close to pushing 4 stars. I have never had any complaints about The Old Mohawk. Service is good, food is good, atmosphere is casual. There are not that many low key dining spots in the German Village area -- this classic lunch/dinner restaurant is perfect for a group or family outing. This is a staple of the area and is frequented often by the local community. Would I drive 30 minutes to go here? Probably not....However, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a casual meal in the area. The Old Mohawk is a classic dining destination. read more

I really enjoyed my food there .. Everyone there was just the nicest people . Fish and Chips was the best !!! Had two meals out of the platter . read more

The turtle soup is out of this world. Also a solid French onion soup. Very great bar selection with wines and beers. A must try.

Just came here for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. The dated decor is deceptive-the food is pleasantly modern and fresh. Shrimp and pasta was some of the best we've ever had and they had a really great variety of vegetarian options as well. I had the veggie pita which was flavorful and filling. Will definitely return. read more

This rating is not about the establishment whatsoever (wonderful atmosphere and restaurant), just a specific employee. Food was immaculate but service was absolutely unacceptable. My friends and I went to this restaurant for lunch and our server was the most reserved and unfriendly waiter I have ever come across. He did not show any hospitality, and was inefficient. We had a simple order, which he forgot one of our appetizers. We had to ask about the item to which he said "I forgot" and nothing else. He proceeded to mess up our bills (we split it 3 ways) and we had to flag him down and ask for him to fix it to which he said "oh" and took it and silently placed them on the table afterwards. He was silent, rude and quite frankly unfit for customer services. We don't have his name but he had a chinese lettering tattoo on the back of his neck. read more

This is a "good three stars" - not a "bad three stars". I promise! The Old Mohawk has consistently good food, attentive service, and fair prices. It's a neighborhood institution, and it's like that old t-shirt that you love to wear when you just want to be comfortable. It's nothing special, but it sure feels good. The sandwiches here are my favorite, and I am also a big fan of the corn nuggets. You can usually get in and out pretty quickly, and my bill is never more than $15. read more

It was meant to be hush-hush, or so the legend goes, but word got out anyways. A small group of locals, keeping their distance, gathered near the corner of Kossuth and Mohawk Streets to catch a glimpse of the steel plated 341model Cadillac as it putted towards on the cobblestone and parked. The chrome of its bumper, headlights, and exquisite ornament glittered like tiny stars in the hot afternoon sun; its green paint job kept perfect and clean impressed the group--giving undue credence for blood money turned status symbol. There was no air conditioning in the 1930s, and the long drive on the national road from the bootleg dealings to HQ was unbearable after an hour or two. Here was midway. The underground figure stumbled out of the car; the Italian suit that hung on his heavy frame was soaked with moisture, his banded fedora spotted with sweat. He pushed back his doorman who tried to help, abuse was part of his job. A welcome party of flappers in fur, suit adore conmen, and a regal Madam, feigning cordiality to hide their nerves, meet him with measured charm. They entered the Cafe there, the Mohawk, which was then a speakeasy, a house of ill-repute. Licentiousness can cool the toxic desires if not the physical body; perhaps it was the summer before Ness clicked the cuffs. It is not factually known if Al Capone visited the Mohawk, though it is easy to imagine he did as I have. After all the Old Mohawk dates that far back, and was a speakeasy and brothel. The joint retains much of that charm, siting in among the residences in the brick store with its red canopy, large front window, and 1920s streetlight held by a ivory arm and hand. The entrance itself is old and wooden, emanating its charm the first step in. The place has decent spacing. It is a restaurant more than a bar, with tables scattered under expose brick. They play up it historic past; with wall decor of vintage photos and items, in among modern flare. It does have a sizable bar. It is not my favorite place in the area though, which is not really a negative considering its local competition. I've love it for years though. The burgers here are not the thing to get--good but you miss out. Brats are the item I'd suggest--they are just so damn good. Many would say they rank with Schmidt's but I wouldn't say that exactly. They are Kobe Bryant next to Michael Jordan. They are a bit different from the tourist trap giant; less authentic but still not tailgate throw ons--if you get what I mean. The other items are great too--spanning typical bar food to wowsers. Last night I was in the mood for a club sandwich which was price well and I expected to be standard--it wasn't. It was the best Club I had this year. Service here has always been excellent. The draft choices range outside the ordinary a bit. They make decent mix drinks, though not a correct Long Island but I am picky with that. Negatives: they can get busy and there is no room to wait inside. There are benches under the canopies, but that can be hard when it rains;( especially this summer after we have relocated the city to the Pacific Northwest apparently.) The wait can be long as many think this is more a bar and so will spend hours yucking it up even at a table. But it is the GV, you find a good place to eat where a group can get in quickly during peak times give me a call. It is a good place to stop. You might be eating in a spot Al Capone ate . . . or did something. read more

This place was AWESOME! Every Tuesday...or as often as we can...my friend, Julie, and I do our usual PGFT dinner (platonic girlfriend Tuesdays) to catch up on life and what is happening. We decided to hit this place up. Julie had been before. I had not, but was ready for an experience. I ended up ordering the B.E.L.T. sandwich with steamed broccoli and a side salad along with a Sam Adams Summer Ale. Our server was freakin' awesome (great job Laura!) and super attentive...not just to our table, but all her tables. When our beers came, our server poured them for us in cold pint glasses, which was fantastic for how hot it was outside. I didn't expect the beer pouring from the server but it was a nice treat. My (house) salad came shortly after and was super delic! Bacon, tomatoes, variety of greens, onions, thousand island = yum. Next Julie's hummus platter and my B.E.L.T. came out and I was seriously shocked at the size of my sandwich. It was HUGE! Needless to say the broccoli was perfectly steamed and overall just everything was excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better meal from the recent stressful days. So here I sit, awaiting for lunch-time to roll around at work and I'm anxious about eating the other half of my sandwich from yesterday. The atmosphere was super friendly, relaxed, normal noise level I'd say but more on the quiet side of normal. This would make a great place for a first date. Overall, GREAT experience. I loved the place. I'll definitely be back...more than likely within the next week or two again. Freggin' awesome. If you haven't been yet...go! :)D read more
