The waitress was friendly and prompt to come and get our drink order and to get it brought to us. Then our order was not long after that. A table of 4 and we received our appetizer quick enough and had time ro enjoy it before our order came. We all made sure to get something different so as to try as much of the menu we could. Burger, fries, cauliflower, chicken fried steak sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, glue fries, drinks and im sure im missing something. Everyone left feeling very satisfied, and loving our choices and what we ate. The place is smaller and I can see once its a packed house it is probably noisy but its to be expected. After all it is a tavern. I will be recommending the place as much as I can and will visit again when I am in town.

Ben (in the hat) and Madison were incredibly welcoming, personable and genuinely made the experience memorable. Their energy and friendliness turned a casual visit into a highlight of my trip. I'll absolutely be back, especially if one of them is behind the bar! Heads up, if you use the men's restroom, take a couple of napkins with you as they have one of those recirculating dirty cloth towels to dry your hands

That's how I found Regina's Kitchen. Regina's is a little hard to find because it's located inside Pioneer Plaza where multiple businesses are. Regina actually runs the restaurant but didn't seem super chatty. There is no fryer so the menu is simple. I knocked off a star because I was hoping for more food options, friendlier service, and the cookies were not my favorite. Reminiscent of food you might find in grandma or mom's kitchen during the summer. I got a tuna salad sandwich. Simple and delicious.

It is a seat yourself place where a waitress brings you a menu. They have daily specials! I originally went because so many of their pictures is a prime rib, they have it on Saturday according to the menu! I have the ribeye with macaroni salad, fries and roll with butter. My friend had the hot beef with mashed potatoes, corn and roll. She really enjoyed it all. My steak was cooked PERFECTLY! The rest of the meal with good. If I were to make a suggestion it would be less cheese in the Mac salad (but I know people love their cheese) and toast or warm the buns. Good Dr. Pepper! Music starts at 8pm I noticed.

The waitress was friendly but not very attentive and seemed flustered and discombobulated all night. The nice thing about this place other than the decent food is you can come in dressed in a bathrobe and still be seated! They don't judge! Of all the places in this town to eat, this was the only one that flavored their food! Kudos to you CK!

Our server was extremely friendly, and she also stated she was from Schuyler. My wife had the Oatmeal which she loved. Our daughter and our cousin had perfectly prepared Omelets.

We tried checking reviews on Yelp for Ski's Bar and Grill but couldn't locate any. We opted to try a BBQ place next door that had positive remarks but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately as it turned out) it was closed so we decided to try Ski's and add a review for the next set of vegabonds. It took a while for our eyes to adjust, my husband knocked over a box fan in the dim light, but it wasn't an attempt to hide the food. Our meals were both excellent as bar food goes. I eat gizzards any time they are on the menu and my husband orders his "goto" hamburger when food is being prepared on a grill. Neither one of us was disappointed. French fríes accompanied our selections and they were plentiful, although a few of mine were undercooked and cold inside. Restrooms were clean, parking was plentiful, food arrived quickly and we left with full stomachs. We are glad we took a chance on Ski's in Columbus.

For this price, this was an excellent meal!! I am used to the Omaha food scene, so in comparison this was nothing special. The salmon was a bit overcooked, and the green beans could use more flavor. I did not try the wings, but my boyfriend liked these as well as his burger and fries. Overall, this is a good spot to come and grab a quick and cheap dinner. No complaints on what we got for the price!
