So I was on an architectural survey and wanted something good and local. Since I'm from Columbus,…read morewhere the food can be pretty meh, I figured I'd give this place a shot because the reviews were great. At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

The first couple times I visited the store, I got their Market Faroe Island Salmon bowl. This salmon bowl is a MUST TRY food option. It was amazing, and I really enjoyed it. I pray that they have it every time. Standard Market has a bunch of other prepared food options, which I think is excellent. It looks like they typically have lots of good food options, e.g., great variety. I would recommend this store to others who may be interested.

I used to think of Standard Market Grill as a spot I could count on for some "good vibes" and a…read moregood meal. I just revisited this spot after a few years, and to my (unpleasant) surprise, it was nothing like I remembered. Severely underwhelming. What used to be an old (neighborhood) favorite has turned into a tired place, in desperate need of a "refresh." This spot was DIRTY. The run-down, plastic "water cups" are hanging on for dear life. The wine glasses we received were covered in dust and hair. I couldn't even bring myself to drink the wine I had purchased because of the HAIR and DUST floating around in it. It's clear that the hygiene of Standard Market Grill is NOT up to par. I really wanted the food to make up for the rest, but sadly, it didn't. The food here was painfully average. The "Don" pizza lacks flavor, and its dough is comparable to that of the cardboard-like pizza I used to be served at my school cafeteria. The only thing we enjoyed was the Sweet Potato Fries -- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside -- paired perfectly with the Garlic Aioli served alongside them. Service was okay. Sure, generally speaking, the "ambiance" of this spot is pleasant. But there are too many negatives, which strongly outweigh the few positives.

There is decent parking around the building, but the restaurant inside is fairly small. We were there on a Tuesday late mroning and there was probably 4-5 other parties in there.

We were both very happy with our orders. Note, the do accept credit cards, but they prefer cash, so if you are able to pay in cash, it would help them out!

I got the Italian sub, it came with mortadella, hot capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, and vinegar on Italian bread. First bite, I was like yes... this is it. The flavor just hits right, salty, tangy, and a little spicy from the capicola. Bread had that perfect chew, not too soft, not rock hard. Maybe could've been a little toastier but that's just me, but honestly, it was solid. We also got the Turkey Cobb. Roasted turkey, blue cheese, and applewood smoked bacon on thick sourdough with avocado. That one was so good. The blue cheese really stood out, packed a flavorful punch that tied it all together. Portions were generous too, I didn't even finish it all in one go. I'd definitely come back and try the other sandwiches.

Although there are no tables, there's a ledge by the window with some stools if you want to "dine in". The guy running the place looked young but was super friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about the deli. He told me they make their meats and soups in store. It was a cold day so I opted for a small size of each of their soils that day- chicken noodle, cream of chicken, and roasted stuffed peppers. Everyone in the family had a taste of each and we all had different favorites so I will conclude that regardless of what you get, you will enjoy it! My husband also had their chicken pesto panini while I split a ham and swim with my son. Good flavors and fresh ingredients. Also excellent proportions. We will definitely be back!
