Discover Restaurants offering the best Bar food in Columbus, Georgia, United States. This bustling riverfront town offers good old-fashioned Southern hospitality, old-world charm and a treasure trove of discoveries for Civil War buffs. To really get the feel of another era, stroll through the National Historic District, a 28-block stretch of restored Victorian homes, gardens and gazebos, and tour the house museums in Heritage Corner. Situated on the Chattahoochee River, Columbus offers a mixture of old and new with the lovely 12-mile Columbus Riverwalk, which includes the Chattahoochee Promenade, a walking tour of historical markers. A chief supplier for the Confederate Army, the town's Civil War history is on display in myriad museums and historic sites like Port Columbus Civil War Naval Center, which contains some of the Civil War's most important artifacts. But it's not all just war memorabilia: Columbus boasts a rich cultural side, with opera, symphony and a performing arts center. And for family fun, head to the Coca-Cola Space Museum for a simulated flight and a look at the first Coke machine used in outer space.

Expected a little something extra but it’s just a pizza joint. The service is slow but friendly and the orders come to the table at different times- we were with Friends. Price wise it’s average. I am sorry you felt that way. Please let us know specifically we can work on to make everything the best it can be. Give us a call at 706.322.4602.Hope to see you soon!

Mark's City Grill

Located in North Columbus, Mark's City Grill prides itself on serving uniquely pleasing dishes with extraordinary flavor. Some choose our meatloaf, mashed potatoes with a side of green beans or the newest addition to our burger family - the Buffalo Burger

From shrimp and grits to great steaks and everything in between. This place has reinvented classic food and made it even better. The steak melts in your mouth and the green beans and swoon worthy. The cheese bread appetizer is a flavor burst and the peanut butter pie is out of this world.

Everything was delicious! Our server, Travis, was helpful with suggestions and provided excellent service. Started with the Pimento Cheese Wontons, which were rich and delicious. Entrees we chose were the Brisket & Sweet Potato Stuffed Waffles and the Gnocchi & Brisket. Their brisket is tender and tasty. Cocktails and dessert rounded out the experience. Highly recommend giving this place a try. Great atmosphere as well.

Enjoyed Cheddars and many of their signature dishes. Salad with maple frosted croissant was a very nice start, excellent with egg, Vidalia onions added, and a great blue cheese. Chicken pot pie was excellent, as was fried chicken. Side dishes very good as well.

Houlihan's Restaurant

Forget 'casual dining.' That's an industry term so out of touch with how consumers eat and drink today. For premium quality and style; fare that's at times familiar and other times adventurous and a laid-back modern setting, Houlihan's is a true original.

Besides Houlihans inviting ambiance the appetizers, drinks and entree menus never disappointing. There's so many options to choose & "Oh Kale Yeah " salad (Kale) that is... LoL!!! Even my vegan friends can enjoy the house made veggie burger. Love their cauliflower mash, hmmm yum-yum!

Training may be the key to improving this restaurant, mixed with some very strong cleaning agent for the hallway and bathroom. Hostess staff seemed ill equipped to process and seat customers. The food was unoriginal and lukewarm. There are too many other options in this area of town.

Been here before and had great service. However, went back just recently and had terrible service two days in a row. They were “unable” to make any of their salads gluten free!?!?!wth??? We ordered the steak then and it was burnt and both of us got sick. Never again and super disappointing.
