    Build your own Meal Jerk Chicken

    Ordered for delivery online. Got the BYO bowl with jerk chicken, homemade Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, candied yams and cornbread. Food was STEAMING HOT Everything was perfect! The flavor profiles of everything was TOP TEER. The cornbread... when that hit my mouth... tears formed in my eyes I'll be a regular here before I know it.

    Fried fish dinner

    Was looking for a back up place grab food with my mom, because the original choice was closed (shame on us), so after some yelping we landed on soul to go, in our searching there was no mention (or we SEVERELY overlooked) that this is a ghost kitchen and therefore takeout only. The location has a kiosk where you can order from all the kitchens in the building, but it seems that the apps are the primary order method for the places here. That being said there was a table in the corner by the window that we decided to eat at since our plan was to dine together. I got the fried fish dinner: perch, okra, red beans & rice. The rise was both stick and a little dry. The okra was basically one giant ball, and very gooey on the inside, and the perch was so salty it was difficult to eat. I did have a piece of my moms chicken which was solid. The person who prepared our very kind and checked on us as we waited for our food. Can't say that we'll make a return trip/follow up order though:

    Columbus Food Hall on Essex Ave.

    Located inside Columbus Food Hall on Essex Ave. No dine in. Smothered pork chops were tender with plenty of gravy, but cabbage seemed overcooked. Mac and cheese had parsley and a little cold so the cheese wasnt melted. Pound cake was moist. May order again if I want smothered pork chops.

    Let's just say that we will try anything once I really mean once So tonight we were on the hunt for dinner wanting to eat something new we jumped on yelp now I came across this place a time or two before but was wondering what they really like so tonight we thought it would be good for dinner let's just say never again I MEAN NEVER AGAIN we purchased 2 different build your own and got all different sides to try them out 1st meal was the lemon pepper chicken leg quarter with cabbage greens and Mac and cheese 1st what was the cabbage it was brown smelled like wine so it was old as all get out y'all should've kept that the Mac taste like box with chives tossed on top of everything I ask for no veggies on my green they placed them there anyway which didn't help the over bearing salt stalks and heavy oil that was also included 2dry sponge cake pieces of cornbread I paid 5bucks for when the box eggs milk cost less the 2nd meal was chicken rice and gravy bake beans and cream corn let's start on the corn did you use evaporated milk and cinnamon yuck that what it taste like and it was silky nooooo the rice was soggy a table spoon on gravy THE KICKER WAS I ASKED FOR MY FOOD TO COME SEPARATELY DO TO THE JUICES OF FOOD NOPE THEY PUT IT ALL TOGETHER WHICH MADE IT SLOPPY ESPECIALLY WITH THE SPOILED CABBAGE THEY SERVE SHAME ON YALL WILL NOT BE RETURNING

    Awful.  Pulled jerk chicken, cabbage and collard greens.

    Unfortunately, the pulled chicken was mostly skin and bones, as you can see...and VERY SALTY. Greens were just ok, but eatable. The cabbage was super oily with a peculiar flavor. Very dissatisfied.

    Corn Bread

    Ugh, I cant even find the words to describe how good their food is. I got the build your own bowl with fried pork chops, Mac, cabbage, yams & corn bread. The pork chops are seasoned well, they give you TWO big pork chops, the Mac and cheese is amazing (im very picky about my Mac and cheese) the cabbage has a nice kick to it, the flavor of the yams!! Wooh! And my corn bread is so buttery. Listen, try it. This is my second time ordering, the first time I had smothered pork chops, which were so good, just a tad salty but nonetheless, im happy I ordered from here again! It's like thanksgiving on a random Friday in March lol

The sandwiches were outstanding and huge. My daughter and I could have split one between us. Instead, we brought two halves home. Not sure what this place used to be. High ceilings with barn beams and an old style post office mail box layout, like you might see in an old hotel. Regardless, would not hesitate to come back.

We actually got to the restaurant a little bit early and they ended up seating us outside, which was perfect. For food, I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries and mac & cheese. My girlfriend had the chicken sandwich as well, so we each got a different side. The chicken was perfectly cooked without being overly greasy or oily. The french fries were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was heavenly. Our server was very friendly and intensive to our needs. I felt like our food came out very quickly. Overall great time here and can't wait to come back. Love going to this place in Cincinnati as well, so I was very happy when they opened one up in Columbus.

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.

I am so glad we stopped. Parking can be a pain as it is all street parking and there are 2 coffee shops and two restaurants basically next door. With parking aside, we were stopped in and was greeted as soon as we walked in and then taken to a seat. The bar staff handles all tables and the bar. This place isn't huge and the lobby hold as many people as the seats and the bar. So plan accordingly. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was clean as well. We ordered drinks. And our burgers and sides. The burger is literally at 3/4 pound burger. I took half home as it is a big burger. The fries were perfectly done fresh cut fries. These are not frozen bag fries. This burger was one of the best I have had. The fries are also very very good. Highly recommend. If you are anywhere near here and want a good burger why are you not here yet.

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!
