    I must say this was an amazing experience! The service was 10/10. The food was out of this world! The restaurant/bar was very clean. I just was impressed by the flavor of the of the hamburger it was the best hamburger that I've ever had! I tried the Mojo Pork, Pickled Jalapeño And Cheese and Ground Beef And Cheese empanadas. Simply amazing. I had to go back twice! I can't wait to go back and try more menu options!

    Really enjoyed my first experience at Arnies and Rafters. The Italian was perfectly toasted, giardinera heat level was ideal. Nice add to sandwich. Service was pretty quick. Nice, dim divey atmosphere in rafters

    Holy s***! Some of the best food I have had in a while. Amazing people, cool location and killer food. Run, don't walk.

    Got everything on the menu, couldn't be further from disappointed! Portions are great for the value, and the taste is tremendous. Their Italian is exactly what you're looking for. Little spicy, house made Giardiniera really cuts the fat and makes the sandwich. Their empanadas were amazing and all of the sauces, you can't have an unflavored bite. If you haven't tried this place, you need to. We were fortunate to come on a day they were randomly doing their Chicharrón, and so happy they did! Their chimi is so spot on! 100% Will be back!

We just tell them, "Make us something amazing," and they knock it out of the park every single time. Fresh ingredients, great combinations, generous portions, and clearly know how to build a seriously good sandwich. There's something pretty special about walking into a place, putting your lunch in their hands, and knowing you're going to leave happy. If you go to Frenchi's, try skipping the menu at least once. Tell them what you like, let them work their magic, and enjoy the surprise.

The service made this experience memorable. The gentleman working asked me if it was my first time. He made some recommendations. They were out of corned beef for the #3 The Eiffel Tower so he substituted bacon for me instead. I liked that the buns are smooshed flat, the meat and cheese heated and melted, and then the additional toppings diced up into smaller pieces. I had about a 20 minute drive that could have made the difference, but once I started eating the sandwich it was good but aa bit chewy. It might have been less chewy if I would have ate it right away. I also ordered the specialty croissant. The staff person asked me if I was okay with the price, it was $8. I appreciated he let me know the price and made sure I still wanted it as it was a bit pricey. The croissant was amazing! This was also a food that was better ate day of. I had it the next morning for breakfast and although it was delicious you could tell it was getting stale already. It was beautifully made. Frenchi's was good, just eat it right away for optimal freshness!

My friend and I were seated at a table and the bartender provided great service throughout the visit. They have a small but good variety of draft beer. I opted for a Kona Big Wave.

The bun was perfectly toasted. It was a lot of food. I will definitely return to try some of the other menu options at India Oak Grill.

So we headed north towards Clintonville and decided to go with a classic spot, The Oak. We barely sat down before the bartender was already helping us. We started off with drnks of course. I got an Angry Orchard and my man got a Yuengling, bottles not draft. As the burgers do not come with fries we got the signature Buffalo Chicken Dip with chips for our appetizer/carbohydrate. The dip was spicy but not too hot to handle. My man got the Double Cheeseburger which came with two slices of American cheese, pickles, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. I got the Mushroom Swiss Burger which came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and garlic aioli. Our bartender was very friendly and helpful and checked on us multiple times without being annoying. We will definitely be back again when we are on this side of town.

It sounds like a satanic place but really it's more of a dark horror film themed place. Nothing really satanic is here just a great name. The only thing is scary is the scary grandma at the bottom of the basement! That is also where you will find the restroom too! The restaurant is very clean. There's plenty of seating especially since that there is a whole section next door and it has a lot of great movie posters to check out. The store always has some great happenings going around. I haven't eaten in over 12 hours because the food that I ate is still keeping me full! Overall, I highly recommend stopping here. Hail Seitan!

The menu when I stopped by recently at the Pearl Alley Market was limited to just three sandwiches: turkey bahn mi, ham and swiss, and their 21 day reserve corned beef. I had been kind of in the mood for a ruben even before I saw the cart, so it was like a sign from above. Corned beef it was. And boy was it delicious. Cut fairly thick, the sandwich had a hearty (but not obnoxious) measure of meat. It was griddled so that the cheese melted and held everything together. I opted for a roll instead of the rye bread on the menu. I'm not sure where they source the bread, but it was excellent with a nice crust and softer interior bite. The quality of the corned beef was top notch, some of the best I've had recently. I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. Nor would I hesitate to seek them out elsewhere. According to the operator of the cart, they also have a breakfast menu which they're currently serving on Saturdays at the Clintonville Farmers market. Some of the things he described as on the menu were quite enticing. All in all? A fantastic new addition to Columbus.

They cure the meats at their commissary. The egg was cooked to my specs. Very very tasty and nicely presented in a bowl. That's a good idea since it could have been messy. Only negative. I think you need better forks. Your's are flimsy and didn't work well. I'm a big fan.
