We are so glad 101 Craft Kitchen extended its participation in Restaurant Week for an additional week! The food was excellent and so delicious. My husband got the Korean BBQ Scotch Egg (so different but very tasty), BBQ glazed meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes, lemon chilli green beans (he normally doesn't like his vegetables, but he said these were so fresh and tasty), and Espresso Martini Pot De Crème. I had the Italian Wedding Soup (very good but did not have the meatballs), Pasta Bolognese (pasta was cooked perfectly and drained properly, so it did not water down the sauce!), and Apple Pie Mousse. I also got one of their mocktails called Brambleberry Tea. I could have easily drunk a couple of those! I forgot mention that they pour some nicely chilled water from a bottle that they leave on the table when you sit down. That is a nice touch for us since that is our choice of beverage when we eat. We were treated so warmly by everyone from the time we walked in until we left. Our server, Tyler, asked if we had been before (and this was our first time), so he welcomed us and asked if we had any questions. He was attentive during our time and even asked my husband if he needed any more sauce for his meatloaf. Marvin, the manager, stopped by to see how our first experience went and wanted to invite us back by gifting us coupons for an appetizer on our next visit. Thank you! The atmosphere was rustic and casual. I loved the picture frames hanging (used like walls) and lots of exposed bricks. The bathrooms were clean, well-stocked, and warm. We are looking forward to coming back to try the regular menu! read more

I have always loved 101, it's been one of my go-to places. Haven't been to this location in awhile, and my parents were in town so we went. Started with the tots, which were really good, but they weren't loaded, just cheesy and a little sauce on time. We asked for the pork on the side and didn't get it at all. My dad and I ordered brunch- avocado toast for me and the skillet pancake for my dad- and they were both cold. Not warm, mine didn't have any warmth at all. My mom's mac and cheese looked awesome, very warm, and her grilled cheese dip plate was too, and she loved them. I knew I didn't want to eat my meal as-is, and was going to ask them to at least warm it up, but my waitress never came back to check on us for so long that my parents were almost done eating (my dad ate his cold, but ice cold egg was a no-go for me). He had to wave her down to come back to us, and I just decided to not bother and they took it off the bill. She also forgot to refill my coffee, but the manager came over I asked for it from him. He explained that the toppings on the avocado toast make it cold, so I guess be warned. Disappointing visit for sure. read more

Updating my review from a year ago... stopped in to celebrate my birthday. We had made a reservation and we indicated that it was a birthday. Enter the restaurant and told them we had a reservation. I don't think they even checked the reservation to see that there was a designation saying it was a special event because we were not asked if this was a special occasion. A reservation was early 1115 There was not many people in the restaurant, maybe five parties and other people at the bar I expected that but what I didn't expect was how unusually cold it was Our server was pleasant and attentive. There's a huge jug of water on the table, so you do not need to rely on the server for your water. I had ordered iced tea and she would bring refills very quickly to the point I needed to ask for no more refills for fear of not being able to sleep for days For an appetizer, we ordered the loaded tater tots. This is supposed to be one of their signature appetizers. And to be honest, this is what brought my review down to three star. You get a lot of tater tots however they're not loaded -far from it. I know what this appetizer supposed to look like and this is why we came to this restaurant. There was hardly any cheese whatsoever and I think we found three pieces of pork belly and they were tiny there were maybe five sprigs of green onion on top and this was probably the most loaded of any of the ingredients we said something to the server and she responded "oh you should've let me know I could've changed that " well. The problem was she didn't come back until after we had almost 80% finished it. We had eaten most of the evidence we weren't about ready to say please remake this.... We were just disappointed. Now I'm gonna say another thing... In the past two or three times that I've come here other than this time I've had the exact same problem with this appetizer This is supposed to be their signature appetizer. I don't think that they want their signature to be associated with disappointing. As it's been disappointing the past three times and other times I have sent it back. After eating the appetizer, we both ordered salads. My salad was the beet salad and it was excellent. Nice dark greens (spinach, and arugula?). Plenty of beats. The dressing that accompanies it was so good. I asked for a second one which is unusual for me as I don't usually use dressing. I had jumbo shrimp put on it and this is one of the few places that actually used jumbo shrimp. I was very pleased with my salad. My friend ordered the Caesar salad salad with chicken She removed the kale. I don't think she should've done that. The lettuce that was used wasn't deep cream. It was greenish yellow. I almost looked like iceberg lettuce, but I don't think it was. There was no this is really good and it took her a really long time to eat it and I don't think she finished it. I wasn't impressed with what was set down in front of her and to be honest after the bad appetizer and then the salad presentation. I felt guilty about suggesting this restaurant. We eventually finished our meal in our conversation The server came to ask if we want a dessert again nothing about my birthday was referenced and we chose no dessert However, they do have butter cake, which is my new obsession. It was hard to say no to that I might need to come back to try that . read more

Location/Restaurant; super easy with plenty of parking, before moving to Columbus had visited many time and one of those times visited 101 Beer Kitchen in Dublin since has been a favorite. They changed the name, and still one of my favorites. They do season menu changes, so keep an eye on the menu. My pick for Mothers Day was 101 craft kitchen!!! Food; We started with Appetizers and they are all delicious, especially the whipped ricotta. My Entrée I wanted to change it up from my fav Lemon Chicken, to the Salmon which was mighty tasty. The cooked was cooked and serviced with a paper cooking bag, that kept all the flavors and juices in. The bar was busy, but managed to make the perfect Dirty Martini. Server; Our server was Ashley H, and she was great. Very friendly and helpful. read more

After attending a movie at Stoneridge I dropped in to 101 Craft Kitchen for a beer and pretzel. The beer list seemed a little shorter than what I remembered form the last time I visited when it was called 101 Beer Kitchen. However, I still found a tasty hazy ipa. I expected the pretzel to be a large Bavarian style pretzel but it turned out to be 2 dinner roll sized pretzels and some cheese sauce. The pretzels were warm and tasty. The cheese was really thick and served cold. I think it would have benefited from 30 seconds in a microwave, but still had great flavor. Honestly, I probably would have given 101 Craft Kitchen 3 stars, but our bartender was extremely friendly. She took time to discuss what beers were available, offered samples and even talked to me about the movie I went to see. That kind of treatment makes visiting new places an even better experience. read more

Came in last Sunday for a nice Brunch. We sat at The Bar and Rachelle was very helpful and nice. Once I saw the guest next to me with the chicken and biscuits I had to try it myself......it did not disappoint! We had the homemade pretzels and beer cheese. It was a delightful surprise, the outside was crispy and the inside was warm and fluffy. The blue cheese potatoes are great too! My girlfriend had the crispy walleye sandwich and loved it! We will be back again! read more

We have been customers for many years and I've always been effusive promoters of 101 Craft Kitchen. The restaurant has recently introduced substantial changes to their happy hour. While it is good that it has been opened up to offer happy hour, regardless of where One is seated in the restaurant, the changes to a much more limited array of happy hour choices and the increase in the pricing of the drinks is extremely disappointing. This is particularly so when considering that some of the limited wine options that are offered at happy hour our brands that one can buy an entire bottle in the store for the same $9 price being charged for the purported $9 dollar "per glass" happy hour "discount." I will remind 101 management of the old adage.. " Business goes where it's invited and stays where it's well treated." read more

Not too bad. Pretty good place to get some food at. I got brown butter potato gnocchi and the ale and cheddar soup. The soup was ok at best, it tasted like melted down cheese. If that's your thing then ok, but I didn't really like it. The gnocchi was amazing on the other hand, had lots of flavor but there was lots of olive oil at the bottom of the bowl. The portion was small but it was listed as a smaller portion dish. The service was slow, even though there wasn't that many people there. The inside felt like a great rustic tavern and I really liked it. Pretty good. read more

This is easily one of our top two go-to lunch spots on the weekends! We've visited all 4 Ohio locations, and the Gahanna spot is hands-down our favorite. The food is always top-tier, and their root beer is my absolute favorite. I crave it! We seriously look forward to going back every time. Counting down the days until the Southern BLT makes its return to the seasonal menu. We can't wait! read more

I would have given a 5/5 if the service matched the food. Came in on a Saturday afternoon, not busy by any means. Great decor and atmosphere.. food was delicious. However, we were seated at the bar, and our waitress also happened to be the bartender. Not an easy job, I understand that, but when we were the only patrons besides a couple at the bar.... We were left waiting for her to take our order, and for drink refills. We were forced to flag down any employee passing by to get assistance. read more

After a long day of travel, wanted to grab some dinner and a glass of wine. This place hit the spot. I sat at the bar and the bartender was wonderful. She took my order and dealt with all the patrons with a smile. As for the food, I ordered the black garlic Caesar salad followed by the mussels and fries. Those items were pretty good. Filled me up for the evening. If you're looking for a place that has tons of craft beers as well as crafty food, this is the place. read more

My friend and I ordered a sandwich that had pesto mayonnaise on it and requested that the mayonnaise be put on the side. We were told that nothing could be modified on the sandwich because they're pre-made, possibly being made the day before! We also ordered the green beans which were beyond tough. I don't think I've ever ordered a sandwich that had mayonnaise with it that the mayonnaise could not be put on the side. And the fact that these sandwiches were made the day before possibly not actually put together but the mayonnaise was already on them, was more than a little disturbing. I've been to 101 before, but I don't think I would go again. And I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Love the seasonal menu and beer selection. I have been here several times before and I always get the fried plantains...today they were extra fried. Not to the point of sending them back but it was close. Which is sad because this is one reason for frequent visits. This time I tried their parm fries...they're ok. Maybe salt and vinegar fries. My grilled cheese was...meh. Too much mustard. There was an overwhelmed the Brie and apple. The soup. Hallelujah saved the experience. Just the right amount of spice. The service is always the same and that I like. I do like the vibe or ambiance...I tend to come here after, before or not during a rush. I like my establishments this way. Next time I will stick with the beet salad with chicken or anything but the grilled cheese....the manger was/is very nice and took off the sandwich from my bill. The stars are for service and soup. read more

We came to 101 Beer Kitchen in Gahanna for a work happy hour, and it was the perfect spot! They had an awesome half-price special on drinks and appetizers, which made it easy for our group to relax and enjoy a variety of items. The loaded tots and wings were a hit with everyone, but the standout for me was definitely the Crab & Roasted Artichoke Toast -- so flavorful and unique! Service was solid throughout our visit, and I especially want to give a shoutout to Phil (manager), who helped me out after the fact by quickly sending me a copy of my receipt that I lost while traveling. Super helpful and appreciated! Great food, great service, and a great place to unwind. We'll absolutely be back for another round. read more

The strawberry grape salad was perfect. Dressing light and sweet and the candied pecans and goat cheese were a delicious accent. My friend had the wedge salad and said it was great. I'd never heard of a champagne margarita and will definitely be back for another one. Greg was our server and he was so good I couldn't help but leave him a tip reflecting his thoughtfulness. We'll be back! read more

My husband and I had a reservation today at 1, got there about 10mins early and we were immediately seated, greeted and given water and a big jug that had more water in it. Cute jug and the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Our server then greeted us and we asked a few questions about the menu items we didn't see on the brunch menu. Had the artichoke crab toast for an appetizer and it was amazing. My husband got the schnitzel abs I got the pecan honey chicken both entrees were amazing and portion sizes were on point. For dessert we had the chocolate pudding cake and ate the whole thing! Amazing food and service will be back!! read more

This is another one of those places I wish I could pick up and take home with me. We were looking for dinner on our last night in Columbus but we weren't too hungry so my better half came across this place. The appetizer list looked good so we headed over. The space is really welcoming and inviting and overall has a super vibe. Our server was very sweet and super helpful. I started with their house old fashioned, which was very good and at less than $10 a bargain (at least compared to NYC prices). We decided on salads for entrees so thought that a couple of appetizers wouldn't hurt. We had their loaded tater tots and deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were great and the little "flags" of prosciutto sticking out of each were so good. Also, not very heavy at all. The tots were terrific too. If you're used to Ore Ida tots or similar, these are like those on steroids. Big and crisp, with a fluffy inside, they were really tasty. I had the southwestern salad with grilled shrimp as my main and it was a wonderful salad. The shrimp were great. I couldn't finish it as it was so big. We could have split the salad for sure since we had the appetizers. Our delightful server did convince us to try the coconut cream parfait. She said it was light and it wouldn't make us feel too full and she was right. It was really delicious. If this place ever wants to open a location in the Big Apple, I'll be first in line. read more

Wow. I thought this was more of a pub and focused on beer, so it took me a disappointingly long time to check it out. We picked this for brunch, in part due to the proximity to TJMaxx for an after lunch shopping spree. But the brunch is solid. There were several non-sweet options. I had the chicken and waffles and ate the whole thing, no regrets. The watermelon salad on the side was a really nice addition. And the fried green tomatoes - also really good. Brunch is solid and I'd come back for their evening menu! read more

This review makes me sad to write since this used to be my spot. I don't know what's happened but this location at least (can't speak for any other, as this is the only one I've gone to) has gone downhill a lot in the past 2 years, but noticeably so in the past year. It's as if they got all new staff in the kitchen overnight. I think management might have changed as well. The wings are never as tasty & crispy as they used to be. The pretzels have come out over baked multiple times. The salads are just ok most of the time, when they used to be my favorite. And the cocktails aren't always well-balanced. I have to say that during this last trip, my food tasted good, but the service & lack of organization of this restaurant left me upset. I finally drove away at 1pm with this order which was supposed to be ready by 12:30. I had pre-ordered the night before so there wouldn't be delays. I was on my lunch break so I parked in the spots for them to bring your food out to you. Just in case they were running late or busy, I showed up at 12:42. They ask me if it could be under a different name because they don't see it (this was my first red flag that they had not even made my order). I sent them a screenshot of my order. At 12:47 they text me saying it "has a few minutes". Right away I text "was it not made? So that I know not to sit here with my gas running". No response whatsoever. 13 minutes later, my food gets brought out. A lot of my issues could have been mitigated easily by communicating with me, let alone even acknowledgement &/or an apology when the food was brought out (which a manager did, making it worse not some 16 year old hostess). 20 minutes later of my gas running, wasting my entire lunch break & being upset that I keep giving this place a chance I'm not sure I'll be back anymore. ** for reference, I worked in the restaurant business for 20 years in every part of it, from bartender, to hostess to management, ect** read more

101 Craft Kitchen is food that you know and love but heightened and leveled-up in some way. This food is amazing. Everything from the appetizers to dessert is delicious. Their menu changes every 6 months and that is so refreshing to see a restaurant change up their menu and it is fun to try out the new dishes. It is a larger restaurant but it has a very cozy and at-home feel to it. It has quickly become a go-to place for us when eating out! I honestly can't say anything bad. Service is always wonderful and fast, food is delicious, and we leave full and happy. read more

We had a very interesting experience at 101 Craft Kitchen on Wednesday. We were excited to visit in person, as it's one of our favorite spots to order from on DoorDash. When we arrived, it was Restaurant Week and the restaurant was half empty. We asked the hostess if we could be seated for two at the bar. She told us it would be a 20-minute wait--despite the bar also being half empty. We paused to talk among ourselves, then asked her again if we could at least sit at the bar, have a drink, and wait. It felt as if they were going to turn our business away entirely. She said, "Let me check," and added that it had been a stressful week due to volume--again, while the restaurant remained visibly under capacity. She returned and told us we could sit at the bar and have a drink, which we appreciated. The main bartender who greeted us was excellent--very friendly and attentive. We ordered a drink and began to settle in. A few minutes later, another individual (who turned out to be the manager) approached us and asked if we were ready to order. We said we weren't quite ready, but asked if we could order from the regular menu instead of the fixed-price Restaurant Week menu. He replied bluntly: "No, only the Restaurant Week menu is available." That was disappointing, as we were hoping to order more than what was included in the limited menu--ultimately spending more and supporting the restaurant. Shortly after, the original bartender returned and asked how we were doing. We let him know we'd decided to head out, as we couldn't order what we had come for. He looked confused and said, "You can order off the regular menu--who told you otherwise?" We pointed to the man who had just spoken with us, and he replied, "That's the manager." So in a span of 20 minutes, we went from nearly being turned away from a half-empty restaurant, to being denied a seat at a half-empty bar, to being told we could only order from a fixed menu--only to have all of that contradicted by the staff themselves. It was a completely odd and disjointed experience. I suspect this may have been the result of an understaffed or overwhelmed kitchen. We truly enjoy their food and still plan to continue ordering takeout, but this visit gave off a strange and unwelcoming vibe. I hope others weren't turned off during Restaurant Week and that management takes steps to address these clear signs of operational dysfunction. read more

Beware! They have a new happy hour menu out now and it's very much limited! Not many appetizers or drinks are on it. Our favorite server did not give us the new happy hour menu, so we ordered from the big menu, appetizers and drinks as usual and were flabbergasted when we got the bill! We questioned it and the server said oh we have a new happy hour menu. Since our favorite appetizers and drinks are not on this menu they have now lost our patronage. Very disappointing! read more

Had a great experience today at 101 Beer Kitchen. The atmosphere is so beautiful and they have such a unique menu that changes with the seasons which I really liked. I just checked online to give you guys more information on my food and what I ordered is not on their website but was on their menu in the restaurant. My food was good but I do not think that I would get that particular dish again as it was just not for me. I got brunch with gravy and corn bread underneath it. I wish I could give a more accurate description. The gravy was very good but I wasn't a big fan of the dish overall. I have to still give high stars for this restaurant as it is very good.

Pleasantly surprising good food! We walked in on a busy Saturday, no reservation and was seated right away. Started with Jalapeño poppers and Strawberry Salad both were good. I had to try the Crispy Chicken, lightly breaded and with a crisp topped with pesto sauce complimented the red potatoes and beans, Blackened Walleye was delicious, seared to crisp and tasty. Everything was nicely plated. We are not really beer people so we had a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and capped of with their Warm Blueberry Butter cake ala mode. Food were reasonable and casual ambience. Happy tummy! :) read more

Surprisingly good food and most excellent service. I ordered the blackened Waleye and my daughter ordered the 101 Burger. Living by Lake Erie, I've had my share of walleye over the years. This was sautéed and blackened, never had that before, and it was great! Layed over a bed of spinach with onions and tomatoes mixed in with some sweet sauce, it was crazy good. The discharge also included fried green tomatoes that were on the bland side, but the rest of the dish more than made up for it. Daughter also loved her bacon cheeseburger. In addition, the service was outstanding! Very attentive. Need to come back again for the Grouper tacos! read more
