I started with an espresso martini before my Benedict Your Way with smoked salmon, and it was so good that I had to have another one after my meal! Smooth, delicious, and the perfect way to bookend a great breakfast. And then there was the Benedict. I substituted the English muffin for a biscuit, added smoked salmon, and asked for extra hollandaise. Life changing. The biscuit was such a delicious upgrade with the smoked salmon, eggs, and that rich, creamy hollandaise. I honestly didn't want the meal to end. But the real finale was the crème brûlée. Absolutely perfect. The caramelized sugar on top had that beautiful crisp crack when I broke into it, while the custard underneath was silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just rich enough, and the contrast between the delicate caramelized topping and smooth custard was exactly what a great crème brûlée should be. Paired with my last espresso martini, it was an incredibly satisfying way to finish the meal. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd love to see a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options on the menu. Otherwise, Ellie's is a lovely place with genuinely friendly people, great food and drinks, and that warm Yellow Springs charm. I'm happy to support them and will definitely be back!

One of the best restaurants we've eaten in Columbus since we've been here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Everything was just right. We even sat outside and ate.

We saw this spot and decided to hit them up for a din-din and beer on this auspicious late afternoon. We were seated and they quickly brought out a menu - including one for our pup! How cool was that? I ordered their house lager- hubby ordered chicken Caesar salad- I got chicken tenders and waffles for me with fried okra for the table- puppy got a whole chicken breast- nice! Ok the taste - I'm not a huge okra fan. But these fried little morsels were spiced up and hit the spot- hubby loved his salad while I munched down my chicken and waffles like - you know - stat! And the service was great- definitely was awesome. If you want a little taste of the south? Check this place out?

Three words: Country; Fried; Chicken. Wow…read more I decided to stop at this little local place while staying in town for the week based on some solid reviews (and the fact that I made some fried chicken of my own for my family last night but didn't really end up getting any before I left). I started out with a 101 Jungle Bird as I'm a rum drinker and liked the idea of a bourbon-forward one instead. I'll say that this was much more fruity than a Jungle Bird and without the bitterness (no Campari). It also didn't taste very strong but it definitely hit me pretty good. Definitely a tasty-but-dangerous one there. For food, I opted for the Country Fried Chicken. What a fantastic choice indeed. The breast was either butterflied or pounded flat but still thick enough to give a good bite. The outside was cooked to absolute perfection with a crunchy texture without being burned or underdone. The inside was tender and juicy. The whole piece was seasoned beautifully and that was even without any of the delicious white gravy. The Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes that accompanied were similarly well done with great flavor. And the cherry on top was that the portion size was PERFECT. Not a ton of carbs and things that left me feeling beyond full or guilty that I had a bunch of leftover food to likely toss. The seat at the bar was a great place to be. A handful of seats staring at nothing but a huge wall of bourbon. To your back are a series of large high tops and, unfortunately for me, on this night were full of a rather loud group. An unintended side effect of the close quarters but I'm sure not a regular thing. The place is otherwise quite cozy and comfortable and in line with the southern cooking motif. My bartender, Mike, was also very friendly and happy to chat a little about my travels and share our regional sports experiences. All in all, absolutely outstanding. Great food, wonderful staff, and an impressive drink selection. I'm looking forward to coming back here again.

Seasoned just right. The Green Cabbage Mix and Dirt Rice sounds like an odd side combo but actually go together well. The Shrimp Po Boy was full of flavour. The service was terrific and the prices were acceptable. The restaurant is a tad small and dirty for my liking, but the food was fabulous. 06/24

First, I always like to start off with the positive: excellent customer service and the chicken…read morewings were cooked very nicely. When I got into the car, I could smell the barbecue sauce on the wings, and it had such a wonderful smell to it I just could not wait to try. I got the sweet barbecue sauce on the wings and they were very delicious. The plane wings really did not have any flavor, but that was okay because I specifically got the plain wings to add my own hot sauce, and the wings had a nice crunch. I'd rather have my chicken under seasoned than over seasoned. Now, the not so positive: All I have to say about my sides--fries, cabbage, and Mac and cheese--I was totally expecting better with all the excellent reviews. The fries were greasy and very limp. When I got home, I ate a few, and I had to pop the rest in the oven to render some of the grease off of them and to crisp them up a little, still, they were not that great. Now, some people may like overcooked cabbage, but they were way overcooked to my liking that I could not even finish them. Same with the macaroni and cheese they were overcooked just a tad bit to my liking, but again, there may be people who like their macaroni real soft. The flavor was okay, but I have had better. If I am in the area again I will definitely get the barbecue wings again because they were very delicious but I will not make a special trip. The sweet potato pie was okay...I gave it a four out of five only because it was a little bit too sweet for me.

So, off I went. I was greeted and seated fairly quickly after walking in the door. The server was absolutely a gem! Throughout my meal, I was checked on at perfect intervals. The specials this evening were their burgers!! It just so happens burgers are my favorite thing, so that worked out well. And, don't let the missing star fool you...I'm tough on burger joints, but I'd absolutely go back. I opted for the Marion Burger which included a burger patty, cheese, bacon, and pulled pork. When it comes to burgers, I'm big on proportions. Unfortunately, the patty was just a too small for the bun they served it on. Thankfully, the pulled pork helped rescued the proportion deficit. The fries were a little too salty for me, but very, very good. Crispy and hot. Last thing. The burger special tonight was an absolute steal, price wise. When push comes to shove, however, I'm unsure it's worth the full menu price. I love the ambiance of this place. Lots of wood, exposed brick, high exposed ceilings. It's rustic-industrial with a warm neighborhood feel. Gotta love it. Overall: I'm glad I ate here.

The staff were super friendly, welcoming (we were visiting from out of town, so we had to ask about…read morestuff), and our waitress was very attentive about our drinks & taking dishes away, even telling us if something was low on the bar to let her know. Very much appreciated the ServSafe certificates on display, so you could see the whole staff were certified. Very clean, easy to navigate. Plenty of plates, bowls, and salad dishes to be had. The to-go cups were also cute. The food was DELICIOUS, some of the best friend chicken and cilantro-rice that I have had in an age. The dessert bar was well stocked, the salad bar was plentiful (they even have 3 kinds of greens and sesame seeds), and a little taco bar to make up tacos/nachos for yourself. Next time I'm in the area, I am definitely heading back to Golden Corral.

The different visits have varied but I do like their variety of food options, the food quality, and the value. I recently placed a delivery order on Cheddar's website and it was a moderately good experience. I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich with a side order of fries. The food was delivered in a timely manner and was moderately good. The Monte Christo sandwich was good with plenty of meat and cheese but seemed a little soggy. It's supposed to be deep-fried and covered in powdered sugar. It was deep-fried but had no powdered sugar on it. It comes with a side of raspberry preserves. The fries were okay. I do recommend and it's a bit better than my previous experience, however they need a bit better quality control. They did include their complimentary croissant drizzled with a sugary glaze. Recommend but they could use some improvements. It was a very good value and the delivery charges weren't too bad.
