4. Graeter's Ice Cream
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 40 reviews
Handcrafted for Five Generations Since 1870. Louis and Regina Graeter started handcrafting Graeter's Ice Cream in 1870. Today, generations later, we proudly remain family owned and operated. This is made possible thanks to you, our legion of loyal fans. For a century and a half, Graeter's has remained steadfast in our commitment to making ice cream in 2 gallon French Pots one batch at a time.

Graeter's Ice Cream is smooth with a creamy texture. The texture is comparable to Breyer's Ice Cream. There are no fake syrups, sweeteners, coloring or trans-fats. The dairies used are local and the cows are not injected with GH. The ice cream is made in 2 1/2 gallon French Pot Freezer batches and the chocolate chunks are delicious. There is no uniformity in the chip size so you get surprised by an occasional huge chunk of chocolate. All that aside, what I like most about Graeter's is that they offer samples before you buy. I went with a party of five people and I did not even have to ask if I wanted to sample any of the ice creams. The server was up front and asked me. My favorite was the Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip. We also had the Coconut Chocolate Chip and the Low Glycemic Ice Cream. There a fully organized ice cream parlor offering Build-Your-Own Sundae, Sorbets, Seasonal Flavors like Peppermint Chip, Ice Cream Cakes and Frosty Paws for Canines. Indoor and Outdoor Seating with clean restrooms make this place a winner.

IndiaReviewed By Anne W - Lansing, Michigan, United States
After a long Labor Day drive, Google found this restaurant for us. Our waiter Bronil treated us to some very special dishes gratis when he found out how far we had driven to eat there. We both had lamb entrees which were beautifully served and tasted delicious - just the right amount of heat. Because of the extras Bronil provided, we couldn't finish the meal. The finishing touch on the great servcie was another order of naan, gratis, sent home with the leftovers. I wish I lived nearby so I could go on a regular basis.

Since August 2007, we've been a fixture in the heart of the Short North Arts District, an eclectic neighborhood of bars, galleries, antique stores, vintage clothing shops, boutiques, and restaurants. On Gallery Hop nights (the first Saturday of each month) offer the most boisterous scenes, but every day and evening we're serving trios, sundaes, and scoops at a steady pace to locals and visitors from around the world.

My family loves ice cream, as do I, so we decided to try this place. Upon entering, menu is on a big blackboard behind the counter, pretty cool. They offer free taste sampling, which was nice because they have tons of unique flavors, some of which we have never heard of. I believe my flavor was called "brown butter toffee". I asked for a sample, and was sold on it immediately! My wife and daughter had the 'salted peanut butter chocolate', which tasted amazing as well. We normally don't favor chains, but this one we will return to.This is not cheap though, spent almost $20 for three single scoop cones. But........ the quality and taste was defiantly worth it.

We went to Gallos Kitchen with another couple. This was our fourth or fifth visit and we are looking forward to our next meal there.
I highly recommend the specials. I had the walleye special as did another of our party. The sauce and polenta was expertly prepared and flavorful as was the walleye. Our other friend enjoyed a quality filet mignon . My wife lives the seafood creole.
Also we recommend the wings of whatever the special is for that night.

I LOVE The Fox In The Snow!
It is just about perfect in every way. It looks super cool both inside and out. It manages to pull off both comfy and funky at the same time. Staff is super friendly and cat-quick.
The food is wonderful, but it is the Bakery selections that had me at hello.
Every single decadent bite of deliciousness just got better and better. I promise I would throat punch someone if they tried to come between me and my Fox In The Snow Pecan Sticky Bun! My kids and wife love this place as well, and, while they would probably not throat punch anyone, they would surely give you The Look of Disapproval if you tried to pry them off their fave Foxy treats.
Quit denying yourself one of life's little pleasures. Go to Fox In The Snow. You will LOVE it.
PLUS, What could possibly be a cooler name?

We ate lunch at Brassica today for the first time. All I can say is that it was delicious and full of wonderful complementary flavors. It is owned by the same company that owns Northstar Cafe, one of our favorites in the area. As a previous reviewer said, it is set up like a Chipotle, but that is were the similarity stops. The food is Mediterranean. You have your choice of getting a fresh home made pita or a bowl that starts with a yummy rice & lentil mixture and dressed greens. From their you decide if you want falafel, brisket, chicken or veggies. Then you can add hummas, baba ghanoush, fried onions, three different pickled veggies, an amazing cauliflower dish, an equally amazing spicy carrot dish, an eggplant one (I didn't try this), your choice of three different pickled veggies and about 5 or six sauces. Other things on the menu that we tried were a side of falafel and fries with an amazing spice mixture on them.
I've said all of this because if there was one down side to the restaurant, it's that their on-line menu does them a disservice. It only tells you the basics, not all of these amazing options that you can have that make your meal full of amazing flavors.
They also use natural and organic products.

Open since March 2006, the shop is in a neighborhood immediately northwest of downtown Columbus populated by families, couples, children, and teenagers walking and biking to do errands, shopping in independently-owned-and-operated shops, and hanging out in lively spots like Stauf's Coffee Roaster's and Spagio. Home of the annual summer Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic, the renovated, single-screen Grandview Theatre, and the sidewalk Art Hop (last Saturday of every month), Grandview and its main artery, Grandview Avenue, is full of people just taking it all in.
