I have to post about Birch Tavern in Groveport. This is my kind of place! Their website has an interesting history of the restaurant which goes back more than 100 years. There is construction in the area (7/15/2026) as you can see, but there is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and it is easy to get in and out of and look at that beautiful, historic building! I ordered my entree and side separately and didn't take pictures, but, of course I want to go back and try many more items. It is a family friendly atmosphere and the staff greeted me immediately when I walked in. I sat at a table and the bartender and waitress both took great care of me. Their hospitality was outstanding! I had a delicious chili cheese hot dog on a toasted bun and then ordered the house made kettle chips. I have never had potatoes cut fresh and fried on the spot. They were almost too hot to eat (almost) and the middle of the larger chips was slightly al dente so I knew they were actually cut and fried and not just heated up. I still want to try the spicy pickle fries, the potato skins, the hamburger, some of the sandwiches, and more! read more

Birch Tavern - Margarita and Beer - New American Near Me - Groveport, Ohio

So far Ohio has been a wonderful experience for my family. Great food, great atmosphere, and so many things to do with the family. Birch was on my list, and had been recommended by a few folks that I work with. Awesome vibe inside, very clean, and the service was prompt. Pat was our server, and was very nice, very professional, and was quick to help us out. I'm a huge backyard simple burger type of guy, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Burger was very delicious, cooked just right. Would be nice if the burger was served with fries, instead of having to order separately, but still a damn good burger. Wings were everything you want them to be, sauced up, with extra in the basket to spare, plump, not over cooked at all. Make sure to get some extra napkins, they are very much worth the commotion I've heard. The only thing I could say that Birch could work on was the small size/amount of pretzel bites you get for $8. Pretty steep. All in all, very good food here, no question. Can't say enough about the burger, me and the family will be back in the future. read more

I would like to tell you how much my friends and I enjoyed the Birch Tavern in Groveport and how good the food was but, we were there for over 15 minutes and no one ever acknowledged our existence, SO WE LEFT. We went to Lovell's Tavern on Alum Creek Dr. Great service, nice people, really great food. The Phiily Cheese Steak sandwich and loaded fries were excellent. They also keep the Juke Box hopping. 5 Stars for LOVELL'S TAVERN. 0 Stars for Birch Tavern. I'll never go there again. NO RESPONSE from The Birch Tavern. They must care about their reviews about as much as they care about their customers. It must not be very important to them. GOOD LUCK in growing your business with that much Apathy. read more

Awesome food and great atmosphere. Great Service and overall great experience. You're gonna Love It! I guarantee

Food is not worth what you pay for. No happy hour specials. Food was served in paper containers with flimsy plastic utensils. Our waitress was great but this place is definitely cutting corners. read more

A+ food and service. Good beer also. Bartender recommended a good beer as I am from out of town. Very friendly staff. read more

Birch Tavern - WV Slaw Dog and Cod sandwich - New American Near Me - Groveport, Ohio

Worst experience on Sunday. We had a big group but asked if the server could accommodate and was told yes. 90 minutes later no food for most of us. After incorrect food received and boxed up as we had to leave, the food was cold. Buns burned. Just an overall horrible experience and won't be back. read more

Great place to eat and watch a game. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was good. I highly recommend trying it if your in the area. read more

The ambiance is okay. I like the patio. Some people smoke outside, which I don't enjoy. Everyone I've gone with has always enjoyed their food. My biggest complaint is that the prices on the menu are just for the sandwiches/ entrees, and you have to pay extra for a side. I think it was about $5 for a side of fries. Overpriced in my opinion, but I think the food is great! read more

An unlikely gathering spot for a few nearly-octogenarians to meet up, but the location was right and the reviews were good. The reviews were warranted. We were able to occupy a high top table for two hours and received service that was attentive, cheerful, and not rushing us even though we weren't drinking or ordering much. We had chicken && waffles (out-of-this-world delish), and a bacon cheeseburger (thick, juicy, cooked perfectly evenly throughout) with fries sprinkled with sea salt (the first thing to be eaten since they were good & hot). Ambiance was nice, too. Light birch wood covering ceilings about 12 feet high, well-lit, comfortable, clean. Business was starting to pick up when we left around 6:30 on a Monday night, but it was a wonderful place for a light dinner early on. Highly recommend to anyone. read more

Our first trip here was last week and I had this amazing West Virginia slaw dog that I now can't get enough of. It was delicious! Just went back again last night for the 2nd time. The bartenders were awesome and talkative. It's got a nice patio out back. It's my new favorite place to go for some food and a few beers! read more

Wow! Birch Tavern has made some upgrades inside since the last time I stopped in. I previously would have considered it a great hole in the wall tavern. Now it is bright, clean, bustling with patrons, and all around a great neighborhood bar! Do you know what every great neighborhood bar needs, an absolutely amazing bartender....and Birch Tavern has that too. Her name is Kim and she is a big part of what makes Birch Tavern great! We parked out behind the bar, and we came in through the back entrance. The parking lot was packed, so we weren't sure we would find a seat. Kim spotted us coming in and she quickly greeted us with a friendly hello, and then she immediately pointed out where there were two seats that we could slide into. That kind of greeting, and kindness is so rare now a days. She quickly made her way over to us with two menus and then proceeded to have our beers out to us in no time. Let me say this again, the bar was packed. By the time we left, we were convinced, Kim was only one of two working the entire place, other than those cooking in the kitchen and delivering food. Kim was able to keep all the patrons drinks full. She knew what we were going to ask for before we asked for it. She is amazing and she made our visit so enjoyable. Birch Tavern has good bar food. If you get the pretzel bites, we highly suggest them with the honey mustard. Our dinners came out hot. We didn't have to wait long for the food. I enjoyed my grilled chicken sandwich and fries. My husband thought the italian sub was ok, not the best, but totally edible. We were so happy with our visit, we will definitely be back again. Hopefully Kim will be there to help us out. If you are in Groveport and you are hungry or thirsty, stop in to Birch Tavern. Don't forget there is parking in the back. read more

Food was great. Loved the fish tacos. Service was great. People were friendly too

Great service with really good burgers! Nice tavern atmosphere with a local feel complete with pool table.

Awesome food and atmosphere. Great staff as well! Perfect sports bar for watching March madness

Staying the weekend at the local brewery a d went exploring. Found this place and wow the food! Wings were legendary! Had the pork tenderloin and homemade fries. They were excellent as well. Husband had the fish tacos and he gave 2 thumbs up! Plan to come back this summer on the motorcycles! This place is our kind of place! read more

Service was unbelievably poor. Servers could use improve their customer service, attitude and possibly improve their makeup skills.

Old style bar with some good food. Great place to do lunch. Went with my church group for lunch several times. Service was good. We had a great time. read more

The pork tenderloin use to be the best in central Ohio It socks now they use ground and breaded pork cutlet. I was so disappointed, not only is it not near as good as it use to be but the price increased. I don't mine paying a little more but don't drop the quality I won't be back. read more

I has the pleasure of enjoying a working lunch with 5 of my colleagues today. What a cool vibe going on here. We were seated quickly and our drink order was taken almost immediately and we had our drinks in no time. I ordered the club and substituted fries instead of chips. My sandwich was large made perfectly and most importantly delicious. My boss ordered the chili and it looked amazing. Everyone else had a variety of sandwiches and we all enjoyed our lunch very much. I'll definitely be back to sample their wings and burgers asap. Check it out if you find yourself on that side of town. read more

I've driven past 100's of times and finally stopped in. Service was fast and friendly. Burger was very tasty and fries were also very flavorful. Carolina wings were big. I found out why Birch Tavern never really looked busy. The parking lot is in the back! Place was clean and well decorated. We will go back read more

Great food comfortable surroundings and terrific chicken wings! Check out the parking behind the Pub.

Was out for a drive this afternoon found myself near Groveport, Ohio USA. Never been there before, time to check it out. If you've never been to Groveport, it's a very quaint town just outside of Columbus's SE side. Lots of Civil war era buildings and houses. The Birch Tavern caught my eye, so I parked out back and went in. I'm thinking a couple beers and some sort of sandwich for lunch might hit the spot. The young dark haired bartender lady greeted me as I walked in. Also got a nod and a hey from the 5 people clustered at the end of the bar. Friendly enough place. The bar is paneled floor to ceiling in, guess what? Birch!. All over, everywhere, even in the restrooms.....Not my thing but hey I've seen worse ideas. It did look clean though, very clean. The bartender though was top drawer. She got my drink order and I asked her if they served food. She apologized and said they didn't but there was the Little Italy Pizza place that delivered food if I wanted and she gave me their menu. She did check back a few minutes later and asked if she could call in an order for me. It was very nice of her to offer, but I decided Italian wasn't really what I wanted after all. Had a couple beers and a few more locals - regulars came in. My bill for two Yuenglings was $5.00. Great prices. Left her a $2 tip and went on my way. read more

A tavern in the city of Groveport. Parking was easy in the back and the place was clean. Greeted and told we could sit anywhere we'd like. The server was very attentive and our food came out quickly. The food was good but nothing about this place is fancy. They served the appetizer with styrofoam plates and the salad I got was massive. Everyone enjoyed their meal and it was relatively inexpensive. read more

I wanted to like this spot because I spend so much time in this area, but I definitely could have experienced better. The only really good thing about my visit here was our server; he was very attentive. The major problems I faced here was the time it took to get our food, and the food itself. I understand that hometown places have grease in their food, but this was really overkill. With every bite, it was like an explosion of hot and burning water. My soda was flat as well; not what I would have expected. When we all got home, the feeling of a sour stomach overcame all four of us. Don't come here if you're wanting the taste of the food to match what you're going to pay. read more

In town for the weekend with my gf and high school buddy. Not into big crowds so we looked for something a little more rural. Awesome environment, super cool wood working, huge portions and great prices. Fast friendly service. 10/10 Recommend the bacon chili cheese dog read more

I met up with some old friends here. Most of them ate and from what I could tell portion sizes and tastes are generous and yummy. The burgers look huge and if you are a salad eater, you won't go hungry. Wait staff were friendly and circulated often so you won't go thirsty either, and I tipped wait staff and bartenders generously and was given a return on my investment with drink pours and attention! Go and check this place out, you won't be dissatisfied! read more

Ive been enjoying the Birch for the past 9 years. This place is a gem in Groveport. Just good, down to earth people with excellent food. The wings beat out all their local "chain store" competitors. Kim is an extremely attentive bartender who makes you feel welcome as soon as you sit down. Highly recommend. read more

Best bar in the Village... but technically the only bar in the Village! Great local watering hole, decent beer selection, friendly bartenders and tons of townies! If you aren't a regular you'll be welcomed with open arms but possibly a lot of "you aren't from around here?"... but not in a bad way! Karaoke on Tuesday and Saturday to keep ya entertained. Kitchen just opened mid-Oct, but so far I've had decent bar food from what I've tried - basic menu but anything tastes good with a cold beer, right? read more

The food is great, I love the fries and the double cheeseburger is awesome! I highly recommend this to anyone!

A place I would have loved more in my younger, badass, years! So, it's decked out pretty much Biker Rustic Nouveau with good old R&R and outlaw country piping through the speakers. The tap beer selection is eclectic enough but peer pressure says order Bud or local brew. I went with a Yeungling and got no odd looks. Safe me. Let's put it this way....my simple, yet cool sweater was way out of place. Too white collar but I can fit in, right? Not really as not a soul in this place said a peep to me for over an hour at the bar. My bartender was so great. She was attentive and friendly, sort of. Ordering was easy except no healthy food was available. Lettuce eColi was news of the day. Probably just an excuse to feed me a potato chips side. Before I was told of no leafy stuff on premises, I had to settle on Bleu Cheese Dressing as I got a sideways look when asking for Oil & Vinegar or Balsamic. Bartender saw on Menu Monitor that Balsamic was an option before she came out 10 minutes later on the eColi news. Cole Slaw it is. People have southern accents here. How can that be??? Then a biker couple came in and sat next to me. Long-ass wicked cool beard but had cologne on like my 86 year old dad. I thought me generation boycotted that shit in the 70s. My burger was perfectly expectedly greasy but absolutely devoid of flavor. The bun looked and tasted good but some weird, stale smell would wiff up my nostrils only when I bit into it. Easy enough to get over when you're famished. So, why the 4 stars? Because it was what I expected from a clean, well-kept, somewhat upclass divey biker bar. And the lighting, sound and drink selection was good. Only thing I'd do different next time is come here dressed normally and expect to eat like I don't care about my heart health. Last but definitely not least- don't come here alone. Not because of any danger but only because you will be lonely. Even talking to people gets you small, somewhat mannerly, grunts in return. I found not a conversationalist or friendly soul to the left or right of me for the several hours I was here. And that's disappointing as I love Midwesterners as friendly, warm and great people in my many, many experiences out in Ohio and other states out here. read more
