The staff was very friendly on a busy day during the vegan food pop up festival. For such a small space, the diversity of products they stock is amazing. They have frozen foods, candies and chocolate, snacks, baking goods, non dairy milk products, and much more. It also looks like they do periodic special events. They were advertising for a vegan ice cream social in August.

It's All Natural is a good locally owned natural store with more unusual items. It's kind of a…read moresmall store but it has things you won't find in Whole Foods. They have lots of local products. It's not a big corporation filled with things from way across the country. They also have lots of vegan items you can't find. I like the local shops like this. It's easier to find things because you won't have to wander around this big market. There's lots of natural care products like shampoo. It's got more of the newer things that haven't come to other bigger stores which makes this good to come to if you need something that's hard to find. They have many vegan products. It seriously has many you would never think would exist. The service is better than any of the big box stores so that's another reason to choose it. I would go to It's All Natural to get some more hard to find stuff. It's got some friendly and helpful employees. They aren't a big store but they have lots of things you won't find in bigger and less friendly big box stores.

I love love this place. I always wanted to try Oxtails. Oxtails is a dish that everybody talks…read moreabout and I finally got the opportunity to try it and let me tell you it was amazing. The customer service was great and you will get full and wanting more. I loved that it's open up to 3am. This spot is very good for them late night munches. That's how I found out about this place. Everything was delicious the meat is so tender it falls off the bone. I have no complaint at all. Whenever I get the craving of some oxtails I will go to this place right here. I like how easy it is to order your food and when it's ready you get a text and your all good to go. I enjoyed the cookie that they give also. It's a nice clean facility and well organized. I collect bones and I was able to add new bones to my collection. Great food and food was ready on a timely manner. If you want real oxtails go here.

I reviewed this awhile back as the "Essex Ghost Kitchen," really just my description of what it is…read more Now it is officially the Columbus Food Hall. That name's a bit misleading, since it is not like other food halls in town with dine-in areas. It is a pickup location only, mainly geared towards delivery services but you can go in yourself. It's in an industrial building in a grimy area, off Cleveland north of 5th. Pull up and park (carefully, since the small lot is sloped and it can get busy with Uber drivers.) Go in, and things are definitely set up for delivery services, but walk up to the counter and tell them you are picking up for yourself, and the restaurant you ordered from. Service has always been friendly. There is a small waiting area. The options keep expanding, and there are a ton of interesting restaurants that operate from here. Startups, sometimes chains that are moving into town but don't have a building yet, etc. I've ordered from half a dozen places, and the food was always ready at the specified time, and yummy. It's handy for me, kinda sorta on my way to work, and it's not far off 71 so it is handy for many. Go to their website or those of the individual restaurants, order, pick up, enjoy!

Totally recommend this local, small business, bake shop. Been here a few times now and realized…read morethey needed to be on YELP! Everything is made fresh and lots of Vegan options. I recommend trying the Olive Oil focaccia bread, or any of the breads. Also great place for daily specials, available sandwiches, and desserts. The Chicken salad, and peach pie was also delicious. Located at 700 Bryden Road, walk in the main community entrance and it's to the left. Can't miss it there in the lobby. Owner is super friendly and they have delicious food. Do try them out! Find them on Insta @badtemperbakeshop for more some amazing food pics and info.

I ordered a variety of items but the standouts were the mini crab cakes (they did not skimp on the crabmeat at all and had great flavor!) and the mac and cheese balls (creamy and flavorful). Guests also really enjoyed the veggie shooters and the fruit plate. Overall it was a great success and I would recommend SP for your event.

From their attention to detail, to the time they take to make sure that…read moreall of their customer needs are met, to the care they put into each and every meal, there is nothing like it. I especially like the variety that goes into the weekly meal drops. The element of surprise that you get when waiting to see if your favorite items will circle back for the upcoming week is something to look forward to. Not to mention, the trill of seeing new items added as well. It has need a pleasure watching this business flourish and become a welcomed staple in Columbus. I look forward to continuing my support and getting my meals here, as well as expanding and possibly using their catering services as well. You won't be disappointed if you chose to do business with them. Grade: A

If I could give a negative I would. I ordered yakisoba it is a plate of mushy noodles and mushy…read moreshrimp it is disgusting. The description for Yakisoba is; onion, cabbage, bean sprout, celery and carrots. I don't see any do you? I sure do not taste any. Nothing worse then a bite into mushy shrimp that has a slight smell it is on its way to being bad. Spring roll greasy but edible, at least I was able to eat something for $13.00. The entrance inside is closed and looks more like a daycare the a food service faculty. That should have been my first clue not to eat there. I would not recommend this place.

I'm a bit of a foodie and love supporting black owned restaurantsESPECIALLY for soul food, so when…read morethis came across my Instagram feed I was so excited to try it. The food looked amazing. I ordered on a Tuesday thinking it might be less busy. I ordered the wings, mac and cheese, yams and collard greens. When the food arrived it wasn't hot...no big deal, a microwave fixes that issue. But unfortunately that wasn't the worst of the issues. The Mac and cheese, which i was most looking forward to, looked like it had been scraped from the bottom of the pan. It had a large area of burnt crust that wasn't just toasty cheese...it was hard and not edible (in my opinion). The collard greens were almost too salty to eat and the yams were mostly a think syrup with just bits of yam in it. To say i am disappointed is a bit of an understatement. Maybe it was a bad day. Maybe they were super busy. Either way, my meal was expensive and not really worth the money. I hate to leave a bad review, I really never leave review at all so it must have been a bad experience for me to go to the trouble. Not going to tell you to skip trying them, just letting you know my experience.

I tried Stuffed Enuff and the food was honestly 10/10!…read more The catfish was fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and cooked just right on the inside. But the real star of the show was the mac and cheese... sooo good and super flavorful. I also got a side of wings with their house sauce, and those were a hit too--crispy and well-seasoned. My friend ordered the turkey leg, which was a little on the salty side, but still good overall. Another friend got the "Marry Me" pasta with lamb chops and OMG--the lamb chops were absolutely delicious. Definitely a standout. As far as the vibe, it was just okay. Everyone was really nice and helpful, but this particular day didn't feel like a sit-down-and-relax kind of spot. I'd probably recommend doing takeout and calling ahead next time. Overall though, the food alone makes it worth it!

I got a variety for us to sample, including: Classic Cornbread with Honey Butter, Beet Hummus, Classic Cheddar Biscuit, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Maple & Pecan Granola, and the Black Bean Chili. The communication was great - you order and pay online ahead of time and then pick up is a breeze. I got confirmation of my order promptly and a follow up to let me know the food would be ready as expected. They also provided reheating directions for the black bean chili, as well as a list of suggested toppings that I might want to have on hand. It was nice to get this in advance, since I was able to add some items to my regular shopping list to have on hand. At pick up, the friendly staff person managing the tent quickly found our nicely packed bag. The food itself was delicious. The black bean chili was absolutely devoured in one sitting - they offer a larger size, which is what I would have to get in the future! It was delicious accompanied by the cornbread and biscuits. The beet hummus is, as one might guess, a gorgeous and eye-catching pink and is very good with crudites, crackers, and pita bread. And, of course, you can't go wrong with a classic chocolate chip cookie! Little Eater also offers a weekly meal delivery or pick up service, as well as catering.
