The Most Delectable Burgers in Columbus

Flip Side

★★★★☆ 4 (719) • $$

"Best burger I have had at Easton! The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly, the mezcal cocktail was delicious, and I am a sucker for Brussels sprouts lol The temp of the meat ran a little pink for me and my friend, so I was glad I went with medium for my Black and Blue Burger. It was absolutely perfect! It's a little pricey on the whole, but not really when you consider the quality of ingredients. The decor was fine. Nothing to write home about. The guy delivering our food was awesome, our first server was polite and attentive, but our second server was barely present which was too bad because I was hoping to try a shake after we had been there a while.I wouldn't call this a destination burger, but if I'm at Easton I will definitely eat here again!"

Harvest Bar + Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (524) • $$

"Food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Small quaint place with good vibes. Cool bar with modern and artsy decor. Very friendly staff. Easy parking"

Hamburger Inn Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (459) • $$

"Had a Monday off so we visited Hamburger Inn for breakfast. I'd definitely describe this as more of a dive, it's pretty small and unassuming, and dimly lit. The tables are bars kind of in an S shape and the stools are bolted down. When we arrived we were greeted and told to sit wherever, it wasn't very busy so we had no problem finding a spot. I have menu anxiety, so of course I already had decided what to get before arriving so we ordered right away after we got drinks. Service was fast and the prices were cheap. The food was delicious. We had a cinnamon rolled, warmed up. It was so good, well balanced and not overly sweet. For my main I had the bacon ham and cheddar scramble, it was HUGE. Very tasty, I love the style of their fried potatoes, they're like crispy slices. My husband had the lumberjack with over medium eggs, a nice size portion. Delicious pancakes. We really enjoyed our breakfast, I can definitely see why it's packed on the weekends. If you're planning to come try a week day, or be prepared for a wait since there's not a ton of seating."

The Old Mohawk

★★★★☆ 4 (443) • $$

"I got together with a childhood friend that I have not seen in fifteen years for lunch at the Mohawk Restaurant. It was nice to hear that he was doing well in his profession and marriage. He has one child and a Golden Retriever named Rex.He chose the Mohawk Restaurant because we often came here forbrewswhile living off campus. The restaurant dates back to the 1920's and is reflected in the ambiance. Brick walls, dark wood flooring, historic photos on the wall and an antique bar.As for the food, I ordered the Mother Mohawk (grilled roast beef, homemade chicken salad with swiss cheese on marbled bread). They offer a unique mustard with caraway horseradish sauce) $13.95. It paired well with a local brew they called CBC Bodhi $5.75. One brew often follows another.The service was sufficiently speedy considering the number of tables inside and outside she needed to attend to. She appreciated the tip. My childhood friend ordered the Bratwurst sandwich also $13.95. There is only street parking in the German Village."

BRU Burger Bar-Westerville

★★★★☆ 3.9 (369) • $$

"The service was great, our server Sophie was kind enough to give recommendations on the cheese and informed us of the ability to sub out Pattie's on any burger option, so I opted for the double bacon with the bison patty and have absolutely no regrets. This would've been a 5-Star review but the burger don't come with fries.That being said this is easily my favorite burger spot in the state and maybe even in the country.Keep up the great work!"

Harvest Pizzeria - Dublin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (211) • $$

"Solid pizza and quickly becoming our family favorite. Salads are good and heathy. Meatballs are the best!"

Preston's - A Burger Joint

★★★★☆ 4.1 (208) • $

"First time at Preston's. While I enjoyed it, I didn't love it. They do have a cute patio area and the staff was friendly. I had the mushroom Swiss burger and it was good. Unfortunately there was not a lot of "mushroom Swiss" taste but the burger itself was tasty. My husband had the cheeseburger and fries. Again, good but pretty much like Shake Shack (which I like). The fries were good and I appreciate the option of serval sauces to dip your fries. They offer free water cups and water station. I like this feature. They also have a pretty decent selection of beer."

Iron Grill Barbecue and Brew

★★★★☆ 3.7 (249) • $$

"So many upgrades as a former employee and a customer this was the first time I brought my husband to this establishment. Ambiance has improved, drastically! Even as a bbq joint I hated that it was so dark and smelled of smoked meat. Today it was light and bright, bravo. Portions...just view the picture. This yelper left happy and fu"

Ringside Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (179) • $$

"I've been there a few times, service is very personable, and the BBQ burger is my favorite."

Red Oak Pub and Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (196) • $$

"If you have never dipped sweet potato fries in caramel, add this to your must do foodie list. The Red Oak Pub came recommended Bioc coworker who lives in this area, I was traveling for business.He said that I had to try the peanut butter bacon burger on a pretzel brioche bun and I needed to get the home cut beer breaded fries and dip them in the homemade tomato soup.This all sounded like a lot of crazy but I'm always up for a challenge. The creamy tomato soup had a little bit of cheese on top and was superb alone. Dipping the fries and the tomato soup kind of made the fries taste like a delicious crunchy type of ravioli dipped into a good creamy Red sauce. My coworker decided to go with the rodeo burger, sweet potato fries and caramel based upon a recommendation of the waitress. At this point we just decided to have some fun with our meal and make it a food experience.We shared and tried everything we had at the table and it was just a memorable, flavorful experience. I also tried dipping the burger in the tomato soup and that was a great flavor. Give this place a try if you are in Newark and don't be afraid to try something new. This will forever be a favorite for me."

Ritzy's Clintonville

★★★★☆ 3.8 (208)

"Honestly, I'm upset I lived 38 years of my life without knowing about this place!! This is everything I've ever wanted in a diner - thin burger patties, shoestring fries, ample food/side options BESIDES just burgers and fries, quality ingredients, and THE most delicious shakes. The only thing they need to offer is a punch card for frequent diners! :)"

North End Tavern & Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (158) • $$

"Oldest restaurant:brewery in W Va. beer very good and food was good. Service is good."

Gahanna Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (187) • $$

"My father took my wife and I here after our arrival to Columbus last month. The restaurant had a good crowd but there were empty tables. My wife and I shared a Hamburger and Cabbage Soup, a Cajun Melt, and Fish and Chips that were all very yummy along with very tall drafts of both Columbus Brewing Company and BrewDog which were also amazing. My father had both the Hamburger and Cabbage Soup and Chicken Tenders which he also enjoyed. He particularly recommended the Hamburger and Cabbage Soup which is a great way to start a meal here. The staff is very friendly and It has the decor is that of a local tavern which we loved."

Shake Shack Easton Town Center

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (250) • $$

"My first experience in any Shake Shack. The food wasn't bad but the menu doesn't mention that the burgers come with nothing beyond meat and cheese. I clearly also told the distracted but nice employee that it was to go and it was brought out for eating at the restaurant. Now the reason I'm writing the review is because the staff. One in particular stood at the front, not doing much, arms crossed, with the biggest scowl on her face. Even the manager asked if she was ok while he was asking if people had been taken care of. My sister in law who was with even noticed and said "no one looks happy that's working here""

Johnnie's Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (150) • $

"Regular here! I love their burgers and usually I am not even a red meat eater but for them, I make an exception because it is just that good. There are honestly few burgers in Columbus that compare. Also a big fan of the fried mushrooms! The service is immediate because it is such a small establishment - shout out to Dom, he is the best! This place can get busy but usually during the week you have a good shot at getting a table without issue. Pricing is fair, parking is ample, beer is cold and service is great!"

Harvest Kitchen and Pizzeria - Bexley

★★★★☆ 4.1 (139) • $$

"We'd had dined at their Granville Harvest Pizzeria location before and enjoyed both the food and the experience. Last night at the Bexley location we ordered the Monaco pizza and the chopped salad. The pizzas are about 12" and enough to share. The salad is a large portion as well. My one complaint was the pizza was quite oily and the crust was quite chewy. Not bad but a bit under their best. Service was fine, the atmosphere is nicer than that Granville location. Street parking."

Busy Bee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (133) • $$

"THE breakfast place in town, out of the way and a favorite for locals and out of town visitors. Doctors and lawyers eat here for the great food and local atmosphere"

A & J Wingburger

★★★★☆ 4.3 (117) • $$

"Very very good food and very good service. Would highly recommend. Definitely going back soon."

Cafe Creekside

★★★★☆ 3.5 (163) • $$

"Lovely little family breakfast spot along the creek in downtown Gahanna! Pre pandemic prices and large portions. Highly recommend, the friendly server even gave us extra little pumpkin muffins in a cute little bowl"

Streetside 62

★★★★☆ 3.7 (139) • $$

"We stopped in here after a basketball tournament. We had been here once before and I recalled good food and service....so I figured why not. The place is decent size with both large and small tables to accommodate any and all parties.The menu is extensive, ranging from pizza, sandwiches, burgers, etc. I ordered the jalapeno burger. It was cooked a perfect medium, fresh, and delicious. It came with bottomless fries which were piping hot.Next time I'm in the area, I will absolutely visit this place again."

Crazy Dogs Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (88) • $

"Love Crazy Dogs! You can choose from every hot dog topping and combination imaginable, yummy fries and sides, and more! Food is always hot and freshly prepared. Service is friendly, and they always make you feel welcome and appreciated! Dining room is super clean and comfy! Great place all the way around!Our favorite is the Chillicothe Dog!P.S. The only thing that would make the dogs even better is a warm, toasted bun!!"

Tony's Coneys

★★★★☆ 3.9 (118) • $

"Slow service, but expected for smallplace. A lot of greasy food, but still one of our favorites for an occasional unhealthy meal day. We would return and appreciate this long time staple."

Clay's Cafe & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.2 (95) • $

"Clay's is... that local place. Kids work here. (They're kids to me, dammit). It reminds of the "first job" a lot of people get. The food isn't fine dining, but it's *good food.* They have ice cream. They make pizza (and while the crust is okay, the pizzas as a whole are pretty awesome). I've gotten ice cream, pizza, random sandwiches l, BLT, etc etc. it's... simple. Classic. Timeless even. It's not five-star dining and it doesn't need to be. It's just simple, good, food."

Luna Pizza Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (121) • $$

"OK, based on a couple of the reviews I was skeptical of Luna's. Tonight I was hungry and wanting pizza, they had a special on DD so I ordered a large pep and large pep Stromboli. My order was a bit tough on DD and was expecting it to be messed up. Wow, not only did Luna's get my order right (they read my notes) but this has to be the best pizza I have ever tried, and I eat a lot. My hats off to you Luna's for the great experience and food. The pizza has just the right amount of sauce and toppings to give it that "wow" factor. It was cooked perfect and not in any way burnt. Let me give a shout out to the Stromboli! I love Stromboli and frankly have been disappointed in many of the places in Cbus that supposedly specialize in it. Luna's was the best I have ever eaten, hands down!!! It was well cooked, with great flavor and amounts of cheese and pepperoni. If El Prez was to give a pizza review ( i know its not his NY style) I would think this would be at least a 8.5, its that's good, and in my book I give it a 9.9. It blows away all the chains here, and I would put it up against any mom/pop shop for the win. We have some good pizza in Cbus and for me at this moment Luna's is my new #1. Great job!!!!"

Flanagan's Pub

★★★★☆ 3.7 (111) • $$

"Our first visit to Flanagans in over three years. Disappointing.Out party of four shouldn't have phased anyone, yet there was a small struggle with the simple stuff. Burned cheese sticks, plus wraps, nuggets and fries were overcooked and a couple sent back.What followed was a half hour wait. I didn't mind much since I was enjoying the cocktails and the company. I was impressed by how the server tried to pacify the patrons that the inexperienced chef had aggravated. The poor excuse for a manager couldn't be found. That's not good. Regardless, it's my policy to try back again and hope to report a better result. In the meantime, we won't be bringing friends or folks we want to impress here. 08/24"

Bubba's Gourmet Burghers &Beer

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (130) • $$

"Great food, atmosphere, and service. The steak house no bun with zucchini was on point."

Gameday Grille And Patio

★★★★☆ 3.9 (97) • $$

"Food is good. Obviously you are not getting a gourmet experience but food is a cut above the average pub food. Shrimp poboy was a surprise. Do not usually see it offered often on pub menus. The sandwich was good with lots of shrimp, but could've used more sauce and I found the sauce a bit bland. Hamburger was definitely 1st class. Big and juicy. Fries were plump with a crispy exterior and creamy interior. Service was great."

High Beck Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.7 (99) • $

"High Beck is your classic neighborhood bar, complete with dart boards, Christmas lights hung year round, and a big huge bar right in the middle where everything is centered around. They have your typical beer offerings, nothing too over the top here (Aka no sour beers for me). But, they have a full bar of liquor to whip up whatever you're wanting! We got their pizza and potato skins and they were super good! Food came relatively quickly considering how crowded it was in there!! If you're looking for a casual neighborhood (sort of) divey bar to hang with your friends at, High Beck is the spot for you"

Bag's Sports Pub

★★★★☆ 3.6 (102) • $$

"Would you eat a Reuben on a pretzel bun or does it have to be rye?If you find yourself in Amish country on a Sunday when nothing is open, head to Millersburg and eat at Bag's Sports Pub.Bag's Sports Pub has a Reuben that is to die for. Smoked Angus corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese and grilled sauerkraut on a grilled pretzel bun. You can also choose rye, white, or multigrain bread.This sandwich has changed my mind about Reubens. The smoked corned beef smelled so good and tasted out-of-this-world delicious. We also ordered the ribs & wing combo which wasn't any good and I can't recommend it. The bbq sauce was watery, tasted cheap and lacked flavor. The ribs were tender but were not flavorful at all. The boneless wings were terrible. They were dry, flavorless and freezer burned. Yuck! The onion rings were also terrible. The chips tasted oId and stale and the dip was literally a horseradish dip that didn't go well with the chips. I am not one to leave food on my plate and if I do I take it home. This food unfortunately wasn't worth eating or taking home. The food took way longer than it should have and they were out of too many things which limited our ability to order things.Overall I would highly recommend the Reuben sandwich but be prepared to wait a long time to get it.@ohiofoodlover"

JB's Downtown Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (71) • $$

"I underestimated this place upon arrival but the burgers/sliders were great. My favorite part was the different homemade sauces, all of which were good. Thanks for the meal."

Eclipse Company Store

★★★★☆ 4.1 (78) • $$

★★★★☆ 4 (73) • $$

"Excellent service, food was great and served promptly even though they were busy at lunch time. Prices were reasonable"

Alley Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (111) • $$

"Came on a sunny Friday for a (614) Burger + Beer Week burger. This restraint has always had around the 3-Star mark, so I figured since Ringside was not participating in B+BW, why not. The inside is skinny and long. Booths down both sides and a long bar flanking the other wall. There were no other patrons at 12:30, literally. The gal (owner/partner maybe) seemed preoccupied; of course, when you have to work, and if your an owner/partner and there are no customers (usual), I'm sure it can get boring; somewhat understandable. I tried their special $8 BBQ Bacon Burger (bbq sauce on the side), Cher got their Classic with pepper-jack. My burger was really good, had to smash it down to get my mouth around the sucker. The onion straws were warm and crunchy - very, very good! The burger was seasoned nicely. After leaving, I did realize the "bacon" component probably comes via the bbq sauce. I didn't even sample it, was assuming it was plain bbq sauce, which I'm not too fond of, so I'm definitely bummed I didn't. The accompanying fries were also tasty; love their truffle oil and the hints of garlic. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful. My food was great, but the ambience/atmosphere, didn't really peak my interest. The lady manager actually was surprised at the slim crowd for a beautiful Friday (null, haha!); they serve brunch Friday-Sunday, and she said they usually get a healthy Friday lunch crowd, so this was definitely not the norm. I wouldn't mind coming back with friends, if this place were suggested. I thought the quality:quantity:price ratios were great. I did not look at their regular menu however, fyi. I do miss the general downtown buzz that was always present before the pandemic; workers were always out and about during lunch hours, especially on nice-weather Fridays, and this Pearl Alley corridor seemed to always be happenin' (morning, day, and nights). Pure nostalgia, haha."
