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!

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.

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.

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.

Old Mohawk dirty rice
Tanya L.

First and last time ordering from this restaurant. The food is horribly unseasoned and portion sizes are portion sizes are abysmal. Tell me what "dirty rice" comes with chalk white rice, overcooked and unflavored with black beans, corn and pimentos. Means my man threw this $h1t in the TRASH!

Mohawk House Salad

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.

Great spot in German Village! Fast, kind service in a casual atmosphere and a nice little outside patio too! Taco salad was delicious! And so is the French onion soup! Pop into Helen Winnamores after right across the street! We are fans and will be back soon!

Reuben and chips
Myra W.

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.

1/2 Salad or Soup & Sandwich Mother Mohawk and Mohawk Turtle Soup
Patrick G.

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.

Outstanding lil' bar and gastropub in German Village... Stopped by TOM on a Saturday for lunch... It's a friendly, kitchy, neighborhood joint. TOM's got cool old school vibes with excellent service (our server Heather was great) and good food at a fair/reasonable price. This lil' place is certainly worth a stop when coming to German Village.

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!

Tomato bisque
Heithem E.

Stopped in for a late lunch with friends. As always, the place is warm and cozy and welcoming. I had the tomato bisque and half club sandwich. One soup was well spiced (not spicy) and delicious and the club is dependably good. Service was excellent - attentive and prompt.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.

My coworker recently…read morecatered a lunch with Bendi and everything I had was delicious, so I decided to actually visit the restaurant to see if my feelings about this spot would change. They have a small parking lot which is helpful since parking can be challenging in this area. They have some outside seating and a small but cute dinning room with a bar. It was such a gorgeous day, I sat outside. I ordered the Penang curry with chicken and a couple of egg rolls. This is what I ordered via DoorDash, and it is one of my favorite dishes so I wanted to keep in consistent for my review. The waitress was attentive and friendly. It isn't busy at all. There is only one other couple dining during this lunch hour. The table outside is a mesh-top table, which is concerning, especially when you have a dish with sauce. When places don't provide a placemat, you risk food getting on your lap and pants. This would be a simple suggestion and fix. The egg rolls came out first. The presentation was really nice. They were nice and crisp, not soggy, like some places. The dipping sauce was perfect. I thought they were delicious. We are off to a good start! The Penang curry came out looking delicious. It was nothing like my DoorDash meal. The portions were good. Fair amount of chicken. Loved the flavor and spice. Some of the best flavor I've had in this dish in a long time. This dish came with rice. I don't know what happened with my DoorDash order, so I'm happy I stopped in to give them another chance. I have no reservations recommending you check out this delicious spot in the town. I can't wait to come back and try out some other dishes. I also bring friends!
