One of my favorite fast-casual spots in Columbus for a quick, consistently delicious meal and I've…read morealready been three times in the past few months. My usual order is the Reuben on rye with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and Russian dressing. It's always my go-to and never disappoints. I also recently tried the State & Main on rye with corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw, which was another solid choice. I've heard great things about the Paesano on an Italian sub bun with ham, hot capicola, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and Italian dressing (can be served hot or cold). A friend's favorite is the Figaboudit on grilled ciabatta with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese, and arugula. If you go, don't skip the homemade chips with the house-made sour cream and onion dip--it's easily my favorite thing on the menu and worth ordering as a side or appetizer.

We had a short wait for a patio table, but it was absolutely worth it the patio is perfect on a summer evening. The food was excellent! I ordered the roast beef sandwich with the house chips and dip, and everything was delicious. The sandwiches were fresh and flavorful. A special shoutout to our server, Gavin, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and personable. His great service made an already enjoyable visit even better. 10/10 experience we'll definitely be back!

She went with the Bean Burger, and I took advantage of their Monday/Tuesday $5 Smash Burger special. Service was fast and genuinely friendly, and the food came out piping hot. The Smash Burger was simple--but outstanding. Fresh, perfectly cooked, with crispy edges and a great bun. I usually get the sauce on the side so I can dip as I go, and it paired perfectly. Add a super cold, crisp beer, and it made for an ideal lunch. I've also been to the downtown location and had the same great experience. Even the more complex menu options are well done, and the happy hour deals look solid. Definitely worth checking out !

Bareburger is way too expensive for the very average burgers they serve…read more I ordered a double smash burger, and the patties were so thick unlike what a smash burger should be. Smash burger patties should be smashed thin so the edges of the burger has some caramelization and crisp. Instead, these seemed like regular burger patties. I also got a milkshake which is about $10 for a very average and very bland milkshake with no unique qualities. I honestly do not know how this place stays in business. Save your money and go to Shake Shack instead if you're in the Easton area.

ROTATION REVIEW: CRUNCHICK (First Visit)…read more Rotation Rating: Stays in Rotation -- Craving-Specific *When this place makes sense: When you're specifically craving fried chicken with real crunch and sauce-forward flavor and don't want to overthink it. This is a lean-in, two-hands kind of meal. *What I ordered: The SoyPapa Chicken Sandwich -- brioche bun, fried chicken thighs, soy garlic sauce, Swiss cheese, scallions, serrano. *Texture + cook: The chicken is very crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside -- passes the tender-ism check easily. The fry is spot-on and cooked exactly how you want fried chicken to be. *Flavor reality (clear comparison): The chicken itself isn't heavily seasoned -- if it's seasoned at all, it's subtle. Think Raising Cane's logic in that sense. The difference is execution. This is better than Cane's because the cook is excellent, the texture holds, and once the sauce is added, everything comes together in a more intentional way. *Sauce + build: The sauce is balanced, pleasant, and flavorful -- not overpowering. The ingredients actually complement each other instead of competing. *Bread check: The brioche bun is a chef's-kiss touch. It holds the sandwich together and maintains the integrity of the build without falling apart, which matters with a sandwich like this. *Portion check: The portion size is fair and satisfying -- generous without crossing into Good Burger-level Mondo Burger territory. Enough for one very hungry person, or easily shareable between two, in my opinion. Ambience + setup: Located inside Bubbly Hall, the space is casual and food-focused -- easy pickup or a quick dine-in without fuss. Would I order it again? Yes. And I'd be open to trying other sauces or menu items now that I know how their chicken eats. ‍ Bottom line: Crunchick does texture and fry quality very well. The chicken is neutral by design, the sauce brings the flavor, and the brioche bun ties it all together. Know what you're craving going in, and it earns its place in rotation.

I was in search of boba which lead me to Bubbly Food Hall.... The boba took a bit so I wandered…read morearound. On then opposite of the hall was a vendor called Crunchick, with free samples. Decided to try one. Took it and walked back to get my boba. The sample was so excellent I got my boba and returned back to shamefully get another sample. I know... thats not nice taking two... but the second sample was even better as I used a different sauce and decided this fried chicken was worth the calories and ordered the OG original crunchick sandwich. This sandwich was huge. Its menu write up say it is to have two fried chicken thighs but I found it to have a bit more. The chicken itself had a creat light crunch to it. The breading was perfect. Not too greasy, either. He said it had a secret sauce (that was like Cane's -but I didnt taste it as I doused it with the white garlic sauce... uh, YUM!). Plus pickle and lettuce were also on it. Delish! The owner takes pride in constructing the perfect sandwich, so it's wrapped nicely and the lettuce is placed so it adds to the presentation. I really liked the owner. Its always a plus that its a locally owned business. It seemed to be the busiest booth is the Bubbly Hall. I hope Crunchick does well as I feel the hall hasn't been embraced by the community, which is weird. Tbo. The hall just has a odd aesthetic, but not a bad one, just a weird use of space. It lacks something. However dont let that deter you as Crunchick will not disappoint you. Parking is free... park on the side closest to the hardware store as that is the side of the hall Crunchick is closest to. Ps: They have fries too... I didn't get them but when I saw them I wish I had. Next time!

I also ordered the egg sandwich and breakfast cookie, which was the perfect amount of food (especially if you share the cookie). I sometimes feel like breakfast sandwiches can be heavy and rather greasy, but this one was quite light! The maple sauce added a nice touch of sweetness too. I believe their breakfast cookie is a best seller and I can see why. Chocolate chips and dried cherries?? Scrumptious and soft! I like the small and minimalist feel of their interior. It feels more hometown instead of a chain. Even with only a few people working, they kept the orders coming at a great speed. I was happy to get my food within minutes. I eyed the cinnamon roll pretty hard, so I look forward to trying that next!

Yesterday, while my wife and I were out running errands, we started looking for a place to grab…read morelunch. I love trying new restaurants instead of the same old chain spots, and we happened to come across Café Zupas. Their sign said "Soup, Salad & Sandwich Kitchen," and since those are three of my favorite things, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was bright, clean, and very welcoming. The menu boards had beautiful photos of the food, which definitely caught our attention. My only small complaint is that the menu doesn't include descriptions of what's on each sandwich or salad. Thankfully, the young lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. She even shared her two favorite menu items and explained them in detail. She recommended the Brisket Grilled Cheese with smoked brisket, provolone and Muenster cheese, sliced tomato, BBQ sauce, all served on ciabatta bread, along with the Chicken Chipotle Salad loaded with fresh mixed greens, roasted chicken, red onions, tomatoes, fire-roasted corn, black beans, tri-colored peppers, cheddar cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, chipotle ranch, and a honey cilantro glaze. Both sounded too good to pass up, so I ordered the "Try Two" combo, which includes a full sandwich and your choice of a half soup or half salad. Let me tell you... these are NOT normal half portions! My meal was enormous. As an added bonus, every meal came with a warm roll and a complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberry. I also grabbed a lemonade to wash everything down. The presentation was fantastic, and as a former chef, it takes a lot to impress me. But wow... I was genuinely surprised. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, with layers of flavor in every bite. The brisket grilled cheese was outstanding, and the Chicken Chipotle Salad was packed with fresh ingredients and had just the right amount of kick. The warm roll and chocolate-covered strawberry were such thoughtful finishing touches that made the experience feel even more special. My wife ordered the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich with the Tomato Bisque, and she loved every bite. Before we left, the manager mentioned that everything is made from scratch in their open-concept kitchen, which made perfect sense after tasting the food. It's not often we discover a restaurant that checks every box--friendly staff, fresh made-from-scratch food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere--but Café Zupas absolutely did. We may have just found our new favorite lunch spot, and I can honestly say I'll be back again and again. Highly recommended!

Stopped in on a Sunday morning and got two bagels to go. I was greeted by two very nice people who were very polite and courteous. They took the time to explain their options and then prepared our bagels. The bagels were fresh and delicious and it was so nice to have a real bagel and not this oversized bagel that is doughy. They have breakfast and lunch options for bagel sandwiches. They are located in the lobby of an office building and have some comfortable seating. There is also an area just outside the building where you can eat by a fountain. They do not have any signs outside yet, but they said they are on the way.
