Went for lunch with mum, tried the Oklahoma Onion and BBQ ring burgers but I got mine with the deluxe tots. Food looked great tasted great. Fresh off the fryer! Our waitress was attentive and quick with service. Wait time was alright. Place wasn't too busy so it was nice to relax. They played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the TV for some reason. Got a laugh out of us. Would recommend if in the area! read more

I have always enjoyed their burgers enough that I was willing to overlook the consistently bad service and delivery. Unfortunately, the experience today has ended that tolerance. Ordering carryout, I had been waiting for 45 minutes when I finally asked a staff member if my order was close to being ready. He said they were "just starting it". In total, I had to wait an hour for a carry out order. While I was waiting, another gentleman getting carry out said his order was all messed up when he checked his bag. He was there as long as I was, and in fact , was there before me. A mother and daughter were waiting a long time for their dine in order and when it finally was delivered, they informed the server it must have been sitting quite awhile as it was all cold. Throw in a very dirty kitchen, and it finally broke my tolerance level to go back. read more

Was excited to try this place since I'm a fan of the pizza and got a rave review from my co-worker about the burgers being fresh. *Order was to-go* For being a "kid" size burger, it looked like a regular burger. I love caramelized onions, so Oklahoma Onion burger was the obvious choice. I added BB sauce and tomatoes so it was a little different from the concept. Even with the sauce it was dry not juicy. The more I ate, the bun just fell apart. The tots were crispy but needed salt. Disappointed that no napkins or ketchup was put with the order. Overall the meal was okay but nothing special. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but our experience tonight was bad enough that we won't be coming back. We arrived around 6:45, got drinks about five minutes later, and placed our order for two simple burgers right away. The wait was unusually long, and when our food finally came out, both meals were cold. My bun was soggy and greasy, and my partner's burger had cheese on it even though he ordered it without. They offered to remake his burger, but the second attempt came out with zero toppings at all--just a plain patty on a bun. At that point it was clear the kitchen had no attention to detail. The staff gave us a $20 gift card and comped the fries, but that didn't fix the fact that the food was wrong twice and the quality was poor. We still ended up paying out of pocket for a meal we didn't enjoy. We stayed polite the entire time, but the overall service, long wait, cold food, and repeated mistakes made this one of the most disappointing restaurant visits we've had in a long time. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

The burgers at this place are fantastic! But the service is terrible! How does it take 45min to make 2 burgers and wings when the place is almost empty...??? Seems they are focused on online orders and not people sitting in the dining room. Lost a customer tonight. Won't go back! read more

Another smash-burger concept. That must make 30 or 40 in central Ohio. Just kidding. Quality beef. I liked the potato bun, but with everything on the bun, it did fall apart near the end. The fries were excellent at 3.95. It's a nice, bright spot and looks like a 50s happy-days diner. Attentive service. I sat at the bar. They do have beer and I assume wine. Check this one off my list. I like Sexton's Pizza a lot too. It's around the corner. read more

Kept it simple. Oklahoma onion with pickles, swap mayo for burger sauce. Shoestring fries with a side of burger sauce. Miller lite. Better than 5 Guys (and less expensive), the onions were grilled into the burger for that smash burger taste I was craving today. The pickles and burger sauce just made it where I literally inhaled it with little effort. I seriously was considering ruining it back and order another but I exercised some self control. The shoestring fries were like a skinny version "O Fries" (for those who are familiar with The Dirty "O" in Pgh). Another notable was the service! Very friendly and attentive, constantly checking in on me. Burger, fries, Miller lite with tip, $23. Yeah I'll be back. read more

Phenomenal burgers! Went two days in a row after finding it. This is one of those rare whole in the walls where the reviews don't do the place justice. I wish they were less expensive and the burgers arrived faster but those concerns vanished after the first bite. read more

Finally made it over here. We don't get over this way much anymore, and their hours are a bit weird, so I haven't been able to come before. The spot used to be a Grinder's, and then a crossover health food-sub shop. It still looks a lot like a Grinder's inside. Lots of windows, bright and pleasant inside. Seats and room at the bar. Nice big patio outside. Basic menu: burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, tots. I got the house burger, with cheese, onions, pickles, and "bar sauce." Two good thin smashburgers, good bun, good toppings. Didn't notice the sauce. Added up to a decent-sized, pretty good burger. The best I've had? Nah, but pretty darn good. Also got cajun tots. Big portion of good tots. Very light seasoning; tasty, but not spicy or overwhelming. Great service; I ordered at the counter and carried out. I'll be back to try other things (and hit their pizza joint.) read more

A good burger place with fast friendly service. The burgers were a good, service was friendly and quick. This a nice burger joint the outdoor seating adds to the charm. read more

I walked into this place with the hunger of a thousand wolves and left full, happy, and questioning all my life choices up to this point. The burger? Oh, it wasn't just a burger. It was a meat symphony--a patty so juicy I needed a napkin for emotional support. The buns were softer than a rom-com's third act, the cheese melted smoother than a jazz solo, and the bacon was so crispy it deserves its own TED Talk. I took one bite and heard angels--or maybe that was just my arteries panicking. The staff? Friendly enough to make me wonder if they were trying to adopt me. Honestly, if I could rate this place 6 stars, I'd do it, and then come back tomorrow to give it 6 more. In conclusion: If you like happiness, meat, and momentary food comas, run--don't walk--to this place. Just don't blame me when you start craving burgers in your dreams. read more

I have not had very good luck with smashburgers this year. Another disappointing experience. My burger and fries looked nothing like the pictures in other reviews. The fries were burnt and greasy. The burger was super dry and didn't even fill up the bun. There's a "where's the beef" joke in here somewhere. read more

Sexton's Burger Bar - Oklahoma onion burger - Burgers Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great burger, absolutely TERRIBLE service. Expect to be ignored by the service staff and have to wait, even if you are the only guests there. The server always seems more interested in singing whatever obscure/really bad music he's playing, or chatting with the someone at the end of the bar, than attending to the guests in the dining room. 10-15 minute wait to put in your drink order (again even if you're the only ones there) is normal. Waiting 30 minutes for your check, while trying to flag down the server (even if you're the only ones there) is normal. And then there's the hygiene. Trim your nails and wash your hands-- you're handling food. It's very sad to see them go down hill so hard, all at the hands of one server. If you've eaten here, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you care about your time and health, do not eat here. read more

Do not eat here. Unsanitary workers handling the food. See below. The place looked nice from outside and the burger was eventually pretty good I have to admit, but the place was filthy and mismanaged. When we first came in, there were no clean tables--one table had a bunch of dirty trays and stuff on it still. The waitress/hostess lady wiped down a table for us but the bench still had food on it. I found a rag on top of the trashcan and wiped it down myself. Everything felt kind of greasy, especially the floor. I used to work in a steakhouse and I always hated how greasy the floors would get in the kitchen, but these floors were greasy throughout the entire restaurant. While sitting around I noticed food and trash laying on the floor behind the bar with a broom and dustpan sitting there as if someone started sweeping and then just gave up half way through. Meanwhile there were about four worker guys sitting around, at least two of them on their phones, one watching the tv. No one cleaning. It was after we started eating that I saw the most the most horrifying thing. One of the worker guys was carrying a rolled up floor mat from behind the counter to the back. Not a big deal, but I noticed he was wearing his blue rubber gloves. After dropping the mat down in the back he came back out with a bucket of fries and brought them to the fryer, still with the same gloves on. He then reached into the bucket, pulled out some fries and put them in the fryer. All with the same blue gloves he carried the rolled up mat with. He cooked the entire bucket. He was also scooping fries into serving trays with his gloves hands. I nearly threw up. The burger was okay until this point. After seeing that guy carry the floor mat, it was inedible. The place was filthy, disgusting, and the workers were so lazy it was infuriating. Why weren't they cleaning? Why wasn't the manager telling them to clean? Why were they all on their phones while they were supposed to be working? Why did that one guy think it was okay to pick up a dirty mat off the ground and then go straight to cooking fries without cleaning his hands and changing gloves? This is not how restaurants were run when I was in high school. What is wrong with people? read more

Service & food was great ...but beware..sketchy on the tab.we paid the bill w/a credit card & left a cash tip but the next day on our card receipt they added another $17 ..when I called & asked what it was for the lame excuse was ooh we charge separately for the drinks..but ice tea & Pepsi doesn't come to $17 & I can't see them letting us leave if we owed more plus there was no mention of a separate tab especially when the soda was already on our tab..when asked to remove it they charged us again for the sodas..so beware when checking out read more

Sextons was just as amazing as I thought it'd be. We had been wanting to try it for a while now and it was outstanding. Their burgers were incredible and fries may be the best shoestring fries we've even had. Staff was very friendly as well. Cute interior which brings the vibe all together. read more

Went to Sexton's Burger Bar with my dad on a Tuesday for dinner. We arrived around 6 pm and were able to seat ourselves. The restaurant's entire menu is hamburger and fries which reminded me of 5 Guys. They are setup similar as well. Since the menu was so limited, we were able to order right away. I ordered a cheese burger and my dad got a double hamburger. I'm not entirely sure why but the waitress gave me a double as well even though I did not order one. On the menu, it stated that the burgers were $12 and adding another patty to the burger added an additional $4 which I did not order. This made an okay burger to a pretty expensive burger. The burger was pretty salty but after adding ketchup and their signature Burger Bar Sauce. I was a little disappointed by it when I first tried the sauce but after having a few bites of it, ended up loving the sauce. I highly recommend getting the sauce. I did also try the Serrano sauce which was not what I wanted. The fries were good but very greasy. I would come back maybe if I was driving by and hungry but I do not think I would go out of my way to come back to this restaurant as the food was just okay. read more

I'll be honest, I'm not really a fan of Sexton's pizza, so I didn't have super high hopes for their burger bar. Oh boy was I so wrong. THIS is what should be getting all the hype. Seriously contender for best smash burger in Columbus. We ordered burgers, chicken tenders, and Cajun fries. The burgers were perfect. Thinly sliced stacked patties, gooey cheese, and fresh bacon. I'm hungry just thinking of them. The chicken tenders? Amazing! The chicken was so hot and juicy. Definitely fresh and not frozen in the slightest. We ordered them with their spicy ranch which definitely had a kick! The fries were super thin and crispy. We got them Cajun style which I would do again, but would ask to go light on the seasoning. These were SALTY, like seriously make you thirsty after every single bite salty. Still good though! I will absolutely be back and it says on Wednesdays, it's 1/2 priced burgers with the purchase of a drink! read more

Best smashburgers in Columbus! Friendly service and good music. They also have a nice beer selection.

Let's get it out of the way, the smash burgers are lit! The Oklahoma Onion was the unanimous choice in my party of two in comparison to The Classic. The Burger Bar sauce that we ordered on the side was good for dipping both the burgers and fries. On the disappointing side, the fries were plentiful but half the length of what you expect a fry to be. They actually taste really good but were hard to dip and eat because of their stubby frame. Also, we had to wait longer for our dine-in order than expected for a place with such a focused menu. We were there around 6:30 on a Saturday, and it wasn't terribly crowded in there. Apparently they got slammed with online orders, so I would recommend trying them during off-peak times if you're either starving or in a rush. read more

Gahanna doesn't deserve yall. Wish this spot was closer to town because distance wise this is the boondocks and in the cut but it's DEFINITELY WORTH THE DRIVE. You seat yourself then a waitress comes up with the digital scanner, takes your order, and the staff work their magic. It's magic because they've got a well run machine churning out AWESOME smash burgers, fresh cut fries and not a bunch of tater tots from the frozen food section of Krogers or GFS, and handmade craft cocktails along with ice cold beers on draft! Food was so amazing we got another burger to go! Last but not least customer service was outstanding. If you're out in the cut in Gahanna give this spot a go because owner BRAXTON MILLER knows what he's doing with those smash burgers! read more

Our server was super sweet! She was very attentive. Food was delicious and exactly what I was looking for when it comes to a smash burger. The patties were juicy and flavorful and the buns were so soft. Fries were thin and crispy. Ambiance was cute, old style diner. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because the prices were a bit high. There's a few other places in Columbus with smash burgers that are comparable and lower in price. read more

Really blown away by the bad reviews so far. Definitely had a near perfect experience. I love a good burger. Thinner style burgers and smash burgers are my absolute favorite, and more simply dressed. Holy moly, this is my new favorite spot for burgers and what a relief to hear it is so close to our house vs going all the way downtown. We got the classic and Oklahoma burger, along with Serrano ranch (a MUST omg I will be craving this), fries, and their soft serve. The most perfect smash burger. This is how it's done. Juicy with flavor and that lovely crispy lace around the edge. We literally cannot wait to go back. Loved the soft serve option we got too. Fries were not bad! Nothing ground breaking but you can't get a burger without fries. See you all soon and congrats on the new spot! Actually gotta try Sexton's Pizza soon. read more

We were craving a burger so we decided to try out Sextons. Came on a Saturday night around 6:00. Not too busy but quite a few people. Walked in there's a nice size bar with plenty of seating inside and an outside patio when it gets warmer. We seated ourselves and was waited on right away. I got a margarita. Was a small cup for $10. I got the classic burger and Hubby got the Oklahoma burger and each got fries. The burger was great nice flavor. All toppings tasted fresh also. I really loved the crispy edges around the burger!! Hubby said his burger was tasty too. The fries were nicely cooked but I think we got the bottom of the bag. All the pieces were broken had to eat with a fork..Lol.. It was a good meal we will be back but for the $10 marg I just won't order that again. read more

New burger bar by the Sexton brothers. If you are vegan you will be sad... its a limited menu... burgers, fries, ice cream and beer. Its almost as limited as Johnnys. Whats good: prices...on point and good value!!! The vibe... great sound system playing 80s rock. I like that its a seat yourself type of situation. The burgers.... Smashed, done very nicely. Staff... attentive. We chose: The Oklahoman: $12 double smash burger with cheese, mayo and caramelized onions. Added lettuce and tomato. Husband would get again. I tasted it. Liked it better than my burger 5/5 The Bar Burger: ($12) Double smash burger, cheese, bar sauce, onions, pickles, I liked how the burger was cooked. I loved the fresh bun. Pickles were nice and crisp. Hardly any onions. (Sad about that) and I did not taste any sauce. The burger had a great texture and didn't taste greasy. Im not a burger girl and I really liked it. 4/5 Fries: $3.25 However, I am a fries girl and hated their fries. Hated them. I cant even say I disliked them. They were seasoned nicely BUT There was zero crunch the ones we received. Soggy. Limp. yuck. If you held one it would bend over. Fries shouldn't do that. Tasted like grease not potato plus was mushy inside which often happens if the frier needs to be a tiny bit higher (the water inside potato will create steam when fried at lower temperatures... making it soggy/limp). 1/5. Beer: PBR in a can. $4 Felt $4 for PBR is higher than most places. Id get burgers here again, but doubt I order the fries again. read more

Stopped in for dinner to see what all the hype is about. Super fun environment with great background music, video game, area for kids to watch TV, and lots of seating (including a great counter bar and outdoor patio). We had great service from at the counter. I got the Oklahoma Onion and added lettuce and tomato. I am not a huge fan of smash burgers, but really enjoyed the taste. The flavor of the burger was very good, not to mention the very reasonable price ($12.00). Also ordered fries and was disappointed we couldn't enjoy them with our burgers. They were soggy and undercooked. Hopefully next time they will be better. Fortunately they removed them from our bill. I was also shocked they charged $4.00 for a 12 ounce PBR. I felt this was high as most places I get PBR from only charge $2.00 to $3.50. I plan to return the next time I crave a great tasting, reasonably priced smash burger. read more

This is only the second place I have had TRUE smash burgers! Sexton's actually carmelizes their onions and cooks the beef over them to cook the flavor in just like in Oklahoma during the Depression! The burgers at Sexton's are all double patties and come off the grill blazing hot! You can add lettuce, tomato, and pickles for no charge. True smash burgers have patties that are almost completely flat and have crispy edges; incredible really! The fries were thin, hot, and inexpensive for a healthy serving in a good-sizr cardboard boat. Sexton's has a small selection of beers on tap and additional drinks in bottles and cans (most non-alcoholic). The manager was friendly and accommodating. As a burger bar, it's set up like a classic diner with bright countertops, chrome seats, and a few good arcade machines! read more

Had a great first experience at Sexton's burger bar. The place is casual but comfortable-- you seat yourself and a server takes your order from their somewhat limited menu: burgers and fries (with a grilled cheese option for kids, too) and soft-serve ice cream. Simple, but they are obviously sticking to what they do best: my daughter said it was the best smash-burger she had ever had. They have more cocktail options and a fun bar area, and a large outdoor patio. Prices are reasonable. We plan to frequent this place! read more

Happy to finally give this a tr_. The restaurant itself is nothing special. Seat yourself and outdoor seating available as well. The menu is super limited but I didn't mind. The burger was great and definitely worth it. The fries were great and an abundance is given - definitely share. The kids meal came with a full size fry too not sure if that was a mistake. The only drink menu was on the back of the food menu it only showed cocktails though I saw someone with a beer. It would be helpful to be told or have a menu. Cocktails were a but overpriced but not too much. Service was fine. They have soft serve but their machine was broken which was disappointing. Over all good food but may not be worth driving for as the options are very limited. read more

First time here & I ordered online went in when order was ready & had to wait an additional 30 minutes past the time when the online ordering said my food would be ready...and still waiting here at the bar, not even offered a water or an apology whatsoever this is unacceptable!

Came here for lunch around 2 on Friday & was a perfect time to get in & out. I am a burger girl so I knew I had to go and try Sexton's! Everyone working in there is very nice and greeted us right away. We ordered the Classic burger & made it deluxe, along with fries, drinks and burger sauce. The sauce was 10/10. I think this is a top three burger of mine & I've had a lot of burgers!! The burgers are all priced at $12 and making it deluxe adds money (not sure the price on that). Fries are delicious, kind of like fair fries in a way which is my favorite. I am giving a 4 star because of the price... for my boyfriend & I it came to $48 with the tip... which in my opinion is a very steep price. Definitely will go back if I am ever in the area but won't go out of my way considering the price. read more

Decided to check this place out for lunch today. Cute place small but large patio. Good tunes and not blaring. Limited menu which in some ways is good. Burgers, fries, soft ice cream, and craft soda and beer. You can get coke in a bottle but not Diet Coke which disappointed my husband. I had the craft soda diet and it was fine. Great service. Burgers were enjoyed by all 3 of us although I found the bottom bun got soggy. My son said the sauce on his burger was like a Big Mac which he enjoyed.Large portion of fries are enough for 2. Some crispy some not but good taste. Definitely check it out. read more
