Ended up here for a double smash and fries and left mostly impressed. The fries are the star of the show perfectly crispy, well seasoned, exactly what you want. The burger is solid, good crust on the patty and a nicely toasted brioche bun, but the seasoning competes a little too much with the beef rather than letting the meat shine. Slightly oily too. For a smash burger the beef should be the focus and it gets a little lost here. $19 for a double and fries is reasonable for the quality, not a steal but fair. Only real complaint beyond the burger seasoning is cans only, no fountain drinks, which feels like an oversight for a burger spot. Would come back if I was in the area.

Recently I was craving a good burger, and after hearing about a new smash burger place that opened…read moreclose to where we live, my wife and I decided to give it a try. We made the short drive to Smash Daddy's, just outside of Orient, Ohio. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full. It's not a very big place--maybe 10 to 12 small tables--and from the outside it looks like a house that was converted into a restaurant. Don't let the size fool you, though. It's small in space but huge on flavor. Smash Daddy's is set up as counter service. You order from the menu board at the register, grab a seat, and they bring your food out when it's ready. The menu is fairly simple, which I actually like. You can build your own burger or choose from their signature burgers. They also offer grilled all-beef hot dogs with different toppings, and their only side is fair-style fresh-cut fries. I ordered the Smash Daddy Burger, which comes with two smash patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles, and their house-made Smash Sauce on a grilled brioche bun. My wife ordered the same burger, just without the onions. I also ordered one of their grilled hot dogs because I wanted to try it. It came on a split-top Texas toast bun, and I topped it with mustard, ketchup (yes, I know... I like ketchup on my hot dogs!), relish, and chopped onions. We also shared an order of the fresh-cut fries. The fries were excellent--thin, crispy, flavorful, and the portion was easily big enough for two people to share. The hot dog had a great grilled flavor, the bun was warm and soft, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. But the real star of the meal was the smash burger. The patties had that perfect crispy edge, the grilled brioche bun was soft with just a little crunch, and every bite was packed with flavor. Everything worked together perfectly. It was also a very satisfying size--I was completely full when I finished. When we ordered, we met Teresa at the counter. She was incredibly friendly, explained the menu, offered suggestions, and never stopped moving. She was taking orders, delivering food, cleaning tables, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She mentioned they've only been open about nine months, and judging by the steady line of customers the entire time we were there, they're doing something right. They also carry frozen treats from Whit's, which is a nice bonus if you're looking for dessert. My only minor complaints are the prices. Drinks are limited to canned soda or bottled water, and a can of soda costs $2. While that's not outrageous, it does seem a little high. The burgers are also on the expensive side. My Smash Daddy Burger was $13 by itself, fries were $5, and the hot dog was $5. Our total came to about $42 for two burgers, one shared order of fries, one hot dog, and drinks. That's a little more than I expected, especially when you compare it to what you can get at a sit-down restaurant. That said, the food quality was excellent, the portions were generous, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Will I be back? Without a doubt. Just be prepared for the prices so you don't experience a little sticker shock when you order. If you're looking for one of the best smash burgers in the area, Smash Daddy's is definitely worth checking out.

All things considered, service was acceptable. We ordered a number of appetizers for te group to share and they came out promptly and were replinished fairly quickly.

They have been in the same location for a very long time and it only took us 13 years of living in our home to find them. We headed over there right away and found a nice sized parking lot with a small unimpressive building. We headed in and were greeted immediately with a smile and instructions to sit wherever we wanted. The decor is pop culture from the 1950's with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and James Dean on the walls, as well as newspaper articles of big events from back in the day. We ordered a typical breakfast of eggs, bacon, home fries and toast with our food coming out within 10 minutes. Delicious!!! The food was fresh, the eggs were cooked just the way we ordered them, the toast was buttered and warm, the home fries were crispy and the bacon was perfect! Our waitress was attentive and kept our coffee cups filled. We won't wait another 13 years to come back for more!

We went to Tio's for the first time last night and I was immediately a little wary. The location was an older building in the middle of South High street and there were no other cars in the parking lot, but when we went inside, the dining room spacious and inviting. I went with a group of six and we were given excellent service. One of the people I went with got the grande margarita and not only was it impressive, he said it was amazing. I was envious and will get one myself next time. The group I went with was majority vegetarian and there is a whole section of the menu available for us to choose from. One person got the vegetarian fajitas and two others got the vegetarian fajita burritos. The food was so good that my friend said that he wished he had gotten another burrito to go. I got the vegetarian chile rellenos and was far from disappointed. The chile was flavorful and filled with cheese, and came with really well spiced beans and rice on the side. I could tell from our experience that anything that you could choose on their extensive menu would be amazing. They also do brunch and we agreed that we will return to try it soon. It's a shame that there weren't more people there in a Saturday night, I hope that this review helps give this place the recognition it deserves as one of the best places to get authentic Mexican food in Columbus.
