I was walking in Schiller Park in Germantown (Columbus, OH) and used Yelp to find a place to pick…read moreup dinner to take back to my wife. The #1 place listed was EIGHT & SAND. Having just moved to Columbus I had no idea where it was located, but fortunately I could use my phone for directions. It is located in an area called Hungarian Village on the south side. It is a local tavern and from the outside it doesn't look like it might have wonderful food, but don't let that fool you. It reminds me of ittle local taverns in my home town, Youngstown, OH. The people inside (patrons) and the bartender couldn't have been nicer!!! I have issues walking so I use a walking stick and everyone offered to help me. Now to the highlight. I had read reviews of a BACONNJAM BUGER that sounded terrific, so I ordered a Jam burger for my wife and one for myself. My wife commented that this was one of the very best burgers she has ever had (that is saying something because we both are in our late 70's). I thought the same thing. It was not nearly as large as other burgers we have had a places (like Son of Thurman, etc.), but the taste, oh my goodness, the taste! We live at the opposite end of Columbus in Worthington, otherwise I would want Eight and Sand to be my local refuge!

This restaurant is EXCELLENT! The food was so amazing. I got a club sandwich without tomato which…read morewas just so delicious. The fries were also great and soft. The water was a European experience because there was no ice which made my water slightly warm. The bathroom was also definitely an experience, reminded me of my childhood trauma of watching horror movies. Overall, almost everything was great, including service.

Let's start with the dessert. The Gooey Butter Cake is a must-have. The gooey inside is the star,…read morebut the firmer outside of the cake is highly savorable. Once the ice cream starts melting, things get even more gooey and delicious! So. Freaking. Good. I went during lunch and had the benefit of trying my wife's cheesesteak which is only one the lunch menu. Now, I loved my burger and the thick cuts of bacon that overflowed from the circumference on the buns. Somehow, that cheesesteak was a notch above that. The cheese sauce was the key ingredient. If you get a sandwich, my vote is for the fries over the kettle chips. But my biggest vote is for going to South Village Grille in the first place because they really impressed during my lunchtime visit.

My wife ordered her Cheeseburger Med-Well and it came to her Med-Rare which always grosses her out. They cooked it more for her. We had the Crab Tater Tots and the Potato Cakes and they were delicious. I also had the bratwurst sandwich which was also delicious!

It's been a while since we've ventured down to German Village to visit The Old Mohawk but it never…read moredisappoints. The Old Mohawk is a German Village institution and rightly so. The place has a great old tavern atmosphere, a great menu, good food and great service. We had a seat right next to the front window and were able to enjoy the activity outside while enjoying our meal inside. If you're anywhere near German Village, you owe to yourself to give the Old Mohawk a try. Just a couple of blocks north of Schiller Park.

Regardless, this is hands down my favorite smash burger in Columbus. We are fortunate to have quite few quality places to get a really good smash burger, but this is the definitely the best. I would also say the same for the cheese curds. I have tried quite few across Columbus (and many other cities too) and Ash & Em's are tops. I would also like to give a shout out to their fries and the Million Dollar Fish Fillet sandwich. Both are excellent. So, gather up your crew/team/hungry friends and head on over to the Station Bar and Venue. You will not be disappointed!

I'm writing this review and smiling thinking about that first bite. The bartender was very friendly and personable. Full service bar with a few specialty cocktails. The space was clean and open.

It was the perfect spot for a relaxed, drawn-out dinner where we could enjoy drinks, take our time, and really soak it all in. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which set the tone for the night. Everyone ordered cocktails (I've heard the espresso martini is one of their best, even though coffee isn't really my thing), and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the drink menu. We started with the Meze, which included house-made falafel, tzatziki, hummus, sun-dried tomato couscous, assorted vegetables, and naan--everything was fresh and so flavorful. They also brought out complimentary focaccia right away, which was such a nice touch. For my main, I ordered the seasonal scallops, and I also tried the chicken thighs with fig, goat cheese, asparagus, parmigiano reggiano, and couscous--both were absolutely amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to try more of the menu. We were there for about 2-3 hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing the staff. The entire experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and just really special. Highly recommend The Sycamore for your next date night or girls' dinner!

We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees to share and some stand outs were the scallop appetizer, Jamin appetizer, and the Caesar salad (one of the best Caesars in Columbus)! Food was a bit pricey for what it is but standard for the ambience and location and a fantastic time with friends.

Somehow, after all this time, I finally made it to Thurman's and I'm already wondering why it took…read moreme so long. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. Kind, personable, and genuinely warm exactly the kind of energy that makes a meal feel like more than just a meal. If you've seen The Menu, you know that scene where all anyone really wants is just a perfect, unpretentious burger done right. Thurman's is exactly that. The burger was everything it needed to be no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just a beautifully made sandwich that delivers on every level. The fries? Equally on point. Honestly, I have no notes. None. This is the kind of place that reminds you why simple food, done exceptionally well, will always win. If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We walked in at 2:30pm on a Saturday with a party of 4 to a packed waiting room and we were told…read morethe wait was an hour long. The beauty of a Saturday afternoon is there were sports on and TVs hanging on the walls. That made the wait easy. Boy do they know their stuff bc it was pretty much one hour to the minute when they called our name and escorted us to our table. We sat in a booth and took in on the collection of various items around the bar that have been gathered through the years and had some laughs at some of it. It was almost like a fun game of eye spy! They came to take our drink order and by the time they returned we were ready to order. We chatted for a bit and our food came out in what seemed to be a good time. I ordered the Patty Melt with onion straws. My husband got the Thurman Burger. We were surprised by its size when they came carrying it out to our table. Believe it or not he ate every single bite. Said it was delicious. Mine was equally as delicious. Maybe not quite as big but that was fine by me. I actually quite enjoyed that they served the 1000 island on the side. It made it way easier to eat. The cheese was nice and gooey. Just perfect. The onion straws were good too. I shared those with my husband. They were actually just as good on their own as they were dipped in any kind of sauce. That's big coming from me bc I love dipping! We got a box for our leftovers and headed out happy with a great first time experience here.
