    Delicious! Perfect location if you are walking around downtown Columbus. AND just the right amount of Browns memorabilia...GO BROWNS and fresh cut fries, I'm a sucker for fresh not frozen!

    The patty melt with cheddar cheese and onion petals
    Kyle P.

    I enjoyed the Flatiron Tavern because of the history and was closed briefly before it came back in business. I had the Patty Melt with Cheddar with Onion Pedals awhich was worth paying a little more than getting Lays chips and a Diet Coke. One person at my table had the Italian Sausage which was a little spicy and onion pedals, while two others had the Smash Burger with cheese and Fries. I enjoyed my Patty Melt and Onion Pedals with horseradish sauce. Next time, I will get The Flatiron Cuban sandwich and Onion Pedals and they have their own Philly sandwiches too. Please check out The Flatiron Tavern and there is outdoor seating for warmer weather months.

    Blue Line Burger, House Fries, and a Kraken Punch
    Kari S.

    Located on Nationwide Dr near the convention center, there is a shared parking lot in the back. The building is long and skinny, seating is a premium. There is not enough space to accommodate large groups, and you can't combine tables because of fire code in the space available. There is 1 round table that seats 5, a handful of rectangle tables that seat 4, 3 top tables near the bar, and seating along the bar. There is also limited seating outside. We arrived around 11 and there was a lot of available seating. Initially the bartender assisted us and she was friendly and accommodating. However, she forgot ours and several tables drink orders and when the waiter took over, he had to rush around to catch up. Both were super pleasant and helpful, just seemed a bit overwhelmed even tho the place was more empty than full. We ordered a build your own cheesesteak and the blue line blackened burger. Both were cooked well and really delicious. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the blue cheese sauce was yummy. The fries were good, but the star was the tater tots. I also had a Kraken Punch (rum punch) and it was so good. Overall, the experience was great.

    Mac & Cheese

    If you're looking for some of the best wings in Columbus, look no further. Found this place online after a quick search for wings. The wings were so good, I actually went back a second time in less than a week. The vibes were typical bar vibes, the service was better the second visit but the food was great both times. We tried the Mac n Cheese, wasn't bad at all but nothing that I'd order again. The wings are what I went for and I'd recommend those as a 10/10!

    Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak
    Mallory L.

    I came here specifically to try the cheesesteak because everyone raved about it and I.... just do not get it. It tasted like boiled unseasoned beef and didn't have nearly enough cheese and the bread was crumbly and lacking taste. Even the side of onion petals was burnt (not crispy, I mean burnt and they tasted like carbon). At least the server was nice and the playlist was good. We won't be coming back however.

    We here for lunch! This place is cool! They have pool tabs! Fun place. They have good music playing in the. Restaurant. The food is great. The waitress was very friendly and gave us food suggestions.

    An incredible cheesesteak with ribeye, cheddar cheese sauce, peppers, and mushrooms. I highly recommend this spot!
    Kat S.

    Came here before a concert (we're out of towners) and made a reservation, which was unnecessary but was reassuring. There were great happy houe specials; I believe my well vodka cranberry was $4.50, and many of the apps were discounted. We had the marinara sticks, which were piping hot, melty, and seasoned well. The vibe is very much a total dive bar (complimentary!!!!!) and I am a fan of anyplace where you can see your food grilled before your eyes... it's kind of like foreplay. I loved the way you can customize the cheesesteaks. I got the ribeye with cheddar cheese sauce (definitely not spray cheese), mushrooms, bell peppers, and banana peppers. It is probably in my top 5 cheesesteaks of all time. Fries were salty and crispy but not oily. If I lived here I'd be a regular. If you're fortunate enough to be local, please go! These types of places are a dying breed. No pretentiousness, no frills, no BS.

    Club sandwich and fries
    Amy R.

    Visiting from Cali and stopped here for lunch. I had the club sandwich which had a kick with the chipotle aioli. Delicious with fried ham! My husband had the avocado blt but the show stopper was the onion petals! Would recommend!

    Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak Parmesan Tavern Chicken Wings Quesadillas
    Roland S.

    Philly cheesesteak was 8/10. Nothing to brag about, but good. The onion slivers were a hit 9/10. Parmesan wings were good too, 9/10. The quesadillas were ok, 7/10. Service was good. Food took a little while, but the beers came fast. Place is in an historical building and looks really nice inside. Good place to hit up to watch the games or grab some grub.

    The ambiance is not great. You will get a definite dirty old dive bar vibe when you walk in but, its all uphill from there. The menu seems like pretty typical pub fare. Everyone at my table went with build your own cheesesteak options and sides of tater tots. The tots were so nice and crispy! They were great. My sandwich was ribeye, habanero pepper jack cheese, banana peppers and cherry pepper aioli. It was a simple well cooked cheesesteak with some nice light heat. Everyone was very satisfied. Added bonus, the bathroom was surprisingly clean and well maintained.

    The food was pretty good and the drinks were excellent. The patio dining is very cute with nice decorations. The service was speedy and courteous. The building is a classic brick which adds to the ambience.

It came with garlic bread (one of the main reasons I ordered it) and that was delicious too. With great food and great service, I'd go back for sure. I didn't get a beer as it was a work lunch, but I bet beer is good too.

Not sure if the waitress we had was new (would have been nice to know if that was the case) or just didn't care. Polite enough but I was asking questions about the menu that she didn't have the answer for and didn't want to go find out i.e. I asked was the Sicilian pizza listed as spicy because of the sauce since the deluxe also had spicy sausage but no symbol next to it and her response was I'm not sure I've never ordered it. Also, we're the look at the menu ahead of time folks and when you place an online order it does have prices listed. Online it says a half order of bone-in wings is $15.99 for 8 wings. We receive 7 and when I mentioned I thought we were shorted a wing I was told that the order was 7. I guess the extra wing is only for take out or delivery.
