Service was great, the kind of place where they clearly have their system dialed in. The caramelized onions were tasty, and honestly giving off a French onion soup vibe that might've overshadowed the beef. Sandwich was solid overall, though maybe I'd built it up in my head a bit too much going in... still good, just not quite the mind-blowing experience I was hoping for. Worth noting: no mushrooms on the menu . Would absolutely go back. 5 stars for the speed, service, and quality.

Everything comes a la carte, and a hamburger that is of normal size at 15.00 is a little costly with no fries or salad, or something. Everything made to order.

Plenty of seating, when you go in, make sure the AC is working if its a hot day. Bc the kitchen hogs the whole place to just heat up the restaurant. I will be back, supporting locals.

He ate them and said it was fine but not enough that he wants to return. I prefer a dry rub over wet sauce on my wings so I ordered the lunch italian sub also. The fries were good. The sub was fine but didnt leave me wanting to return either. Im glad we tried it but Im not planning to return.

It's been awhile since hearing their name, so I was happy to get a chance to try out their Philly-style cheesesteaks when I was at HHBG for an OSU game. I ordered The New Guy, subbed chicken for the steak. The cheese whiz mixed with the grilled chicken chunks and green peppers and onions was primo; creamy and dreamy. I didn't even bother with their special sauce; it was innecessary, imo; the sweetness wasn't a good ting-to-yang thang. And the bread is so so sooo good: Made fresh in-house daily, soft and pliable, a great carrier mechanism. My only suggestion would be to make the sandwiches more compact. Mine basically all fell apart as soon as I attempted to unwrap some of the white sandwich paper. Lost a little bit of my hyped anticipation. All in all, I'd definitely get a cheesesteak from Philgeddaboutit again next time I'm at Hey Hey.

The Bars atmosphere pretty chill and very dope. Roomy.

I had the hankering for wings. As always, open up Yelp and look for suggestions. Urban Gourmet…read morepops up only 1.5 miles away. Located in the East Market, there are lots of food choices. Wanting wings, I ordered the Garlic Parmesan and tots. They offer grilled or fried and I thought I ordered fried but these tasted more like grilled. I was wanting that fried crunch but got more of a well cooked bite with a creamy garlic white sauce, then sprinkled with Parmesan. It was still good but when you're expecting crunch, it's slightly disappointing. Still a good wing but I wouldn't put it in the top 5. The tots, now they made up for the crunch. The Blue Cheese was exactly what I like, sweeter with a little funk. Maybe I should've specified fried. Wings are an indulgence to me. I don't want the healthy version. I want that crunchy-Lipitor sponsored-defibrillator on stand by-I can see my blood flowing-We'll start the diet Monday goodness that only a perfectly fried wing can offer. Still good tho.

No exaggeration, this was one of the best chicken Parmesans I've ever had, and that includes versions from legit Italian restaurants. The chicken cutlet was super crispy and perfectly seasoned, with a coating that was flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The portion size was just right, not too big, not too small. I appreciated that the mozzarella on top was fresh and sliced, not the usual shredded kind. The sauces (yes, plural!) were rich and full of flavor, tying everything together beautifully. The only thing I think it was missing? Some garlic bread of some sort to go with it. That would've made it perfect. But honestly, it was still a fantastic dish on its own. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're anywhere near East Market. I'm already looking forward to going back and seeing what else is good on their menu.

My wife loves Mexican, so we were surprised to find a place that specialized in both. The hot dogs are classic and much better than what you'd find at dirty Frank's or other well known places in Columbus. The enchiladas were also super tasty. The pricing was low for what you get. Very much a hole in the wall and throw back to cafes of the past. But the thing that stood out the most were the people who worked there. The guy who seemed to be managing (might be the owner) was disarmingly genuine, welcoming and kind. Everyone else was amazing as well. It felt like the kind of hospitality that you just don't see anymore. I haven't experienced anything like it since I was a kid decades ago. With all the angst and stress of everything nowadays, it's so reassuring to find a bright spot in the world like this. Dad's / Talita's is truly a gem. Check it out!

Points!! I stopped at 2pm on a Wednesday and there were only a few customers and myself there. I order The Classic wit Wiz, fries and a Truth IPA. My food came out quickly in a to go bag. I was eating in but no biggie. The positives: the chopped steak, Wiz and onion combo is South St Philly worthy for real. The fries were a unique shape and were delicious. The music!! I heard Guy- I like, The System- Don't disturb this Groove, Christopher Williams-Don't wake Me... I was transported back to my days growing up in Pittsburgh. My only negative: That bun! Dry as Camel heels. To be fair, I ate it as soon as it came out and when I unwrapped it, a lot of the filling spilled out. If I had got it to go, the bun would've absorbed some of the cheese, steak and onion goodness and I'm sure it would've been juicier after 10 min. I'll take it to go next time. So all in all, I think I prefer Marlow's over the other Cheese steak giant in Columbus (as far as the authentic Philly cheesesteak). The other is great as a gourmet version of a classic. It all depends on what you are in the mood for. Great job Marlow's bringing Philly to CBus!!
