Moran’s Bar and Grille

I have visited Moran's Bar and Grille several times now before attending an event at Nationwide Arena. The place is always packed when I have visited. I usually visit with another friend. We check with the host and try for a table. We find out a wait for a table is about an hour. Then somehow luckily find a seat at the bar. We order right away thinking its packed and food will take forever. Then somehow. Every time. The food arrives as if by magic in like 15 minutes. I'm not sure how they do it. If the food tasted like it was microwaved it would make more sense. However, everything I've had there has been tasty. So I guess it's magic. On my last visit I ordered the Lynne's Chicken Sandwich which comes with blackened grilled chicken, caramelized onions, avocado mousse, Monterey jack cheese, and smoked bacon and sriracha mayo on a butter-toasted bun. The chicken was very moist and I loved the avcocado mousse combined with the bacon. Definitely recommend!

Came prior to an event at Nationwide, obviously it was insanely crowded. They have a nice patio area with plenty of seating. inside is a bit on the small side. We had a bit of a wait, so we chose to grab a drink from the bar and wait outside. upon getting seated we had a very attentive server; drinks were kept full and we needed wanted for anything. We started with the cheese logs. These were HUGE and full of flavor, great marinara accompanied. I ordered the Chicken Caprese Sandwich as my main. It was good could have used a sauce of some sort in my opinion. Fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The star of the show was the cheese logs. It is a must try if you go!

Fantastic little spot nestled between a multitude of sports bars and nationwide arena. Stopped here for dinner before the DMB concert and it couldn't have been better. The Cajun shrimp appetizer was very good and the grilled chicken rigatoni dish was absolutely delicious. If ever back in the area I'd definitely consider this a top spot.

Not really much great to say about this restaurant. Waitress was incredibly rude and clearly didn't want to be there. I mean she aggressively said she didn't want anymore tables (we were there at 6ish on a Saturday night....) and when the poor host sat her section she gave up the tables. I've been a server and hostess before and I know there are good and bad days but this was so incredibly gross behavior and so unprofessional. Hostess's/bartenders were actively talking crap about each other loud enough that tables by the bar could hear. We got the spinach and artichoke dip and chips were incredibly stale. We also got the special of steak and frites which were a small piece of steak, garlic fries and a piece of bread for $32.99... incredibly over priced. I got a fried chicken salad which was good and large sized. We absolutely will not be returning. So unprofessional and rude staff.

My husband and I visited Moran's a few weeks ago for dinner before an event downtown and were really happy with our experience.The place was packed, so we were worried it might take awhile, but service was quick and friendly. We were seated much quicker than they estimated and someone was at our table for our drink order right away.Drinks and food were so good! We split a fried chicken salad, mozzarella sticks (they were huge!), and jalapeño cheddar hush puppies. Everything was really good and flavorful. It's definitely open and loud-ish, so not a place to go for a quiet intimate date, but it was a pretty nice place to spend a meal before a show. Based on our experience, I'd recommend checking it out!

I got the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich with a garden salad without the bun!! It was delicious. I went here last night the before going to Highball Columbus. The service and ambiance was good.

For a sports bar, this place is honestly pretty dang good. We came before a blue jackets game, which is obviously their busiest time being in the arena district and the service was still great. They have a pretty decent beer, cocktails and wine list. My husband and I split a bottle of wine that was great and fair priced. We all got the pretzel and an app and it was awesome and I love that for once they gave you enough cheese! For my meal I got the fried chicken salad and the chicken was delicious and this thing was massive. My husband got the general tso's chicken and raved about it too. Definitely a great option for some elevated bar food

We had a group of 30 of us that were attending a conference in town, was trying real hard to find something that everyone would like and was decently priced and could hold us all.We came in and couldn't have been happier! They took care of us so good! Accommodated us with great attitudes and the food was fabulous!Mozzarella sticks were epic, pasta made in house was superb!Chocolate cake for dessert! 5 stars! Will come back!

Servers and host were friendly however the grilled chicken on the salad was not good, also the bacon dressing that came with it (thankfully we got it on the side) was not appetizing. The rest of the spinach salad was good. The kitchen closes at 8 so make sure to come before that if you're looking to eat. The place was clean and had a sports bar feel which was enjoyable, however will likely not come back for food.

Really convenient location, northeast of Nationwide Arena and west of the Columbus Convention center. They have a nice patio and a decent interior space (3 star). The burger and fries were excellent (4 star) and the service was pretty good (3 or 4 star). They had a QR code for the menu but the cell service in that area is weak so it didn't work. They have printed menus but don't use them because people "have stolen them in the past."
