This is what I miss in America; Service!!! And Southern Grill gave me what I want We are here in Ohio for hunting. (I don't like hunting btw) And we were looking for nice and cosy, good quality place! We went to Columbus...And I searched by Yelp. We decided to try Southern Grill! OMG! I wish we are close and I can come here every other day! This is Istanbul style place and service. How enjoyed with the ambience, service and the meals! Our server Sandra was amazing lady who make us comfortable and relax with her attitude and have full knowledge of the menu... And Moly was perfect! She made our drinks which was perfect. I wish I try everything at the menu. All looks very yummy! I don't know when we came Ohio again but I am sure I come back and try your food again. And of course they made me happy when they bring an other margarita for honoring! Thank you dears I appreciated!

First of all our server, William was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and knew his menu. Was honest about his thoughts on recommendations. Fun to talk to and hear his story. Food as always was wonderful. We stopped for brunch. Hubby had the belt and I had the steak tacos and we shared the bieauet (sp). We will be there soon for happy hour. !!

We carried out a great meal from here. We got the polenta appetizer, a mushroom pizza, and a burger. Our order was right on time and it was all quite good. We don't dine in at restaurants in the post Covid era, but this place looks super cozy if you're into that sort of thing.

Spending more time in German Village lately, revisiting old haunts and hitting up new spots. This one was not on my radar at all before, but I heard it was good, and it gets great reviews. I was down here on Monday and their special that day is meatloaf, so I figured I'd try that. Probably the best meatloaf I've ever had. And that includes places that specialize in meatloaf. Little different than most, a little looser, excellent crust, amazing smoked tomato sauce. Excellent mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked green beans. Just the best upgrade of a classic meatloaf dinner. Didn't take things too far and overdo it. I almost moaned. Service was excellent. The place is a little fancy, and I felt a little out of place in my T-shirt, but I wasn't the only one dressed down, and the server certainly didn't make me feel that way. It's classy enough that you could have a business lunch or a date here. Lots of things on the menu. Slightly hopping at one on a weekday. A few parking spots nearby. German Village is always tough for that.

This was an absolutely lovely experience dining here. It is a small little spot, but cute inside. Our server was so sweet and attentive and let my girlfriend and I catch up and keep dinner at our pace. We started with the charcuterie and a bottle of wine. Let me tell you, I have never seen so much cheese, and our server kindly brought out extra crostinis when we asked. I got a Cesar and the shrooms pizza for my meal, I'm still dreaming about that delicious pizza. My friend got a cob with steak and a side of fries and raved about it too. I highly recommend this little local spot!

My daughter and I stopped in here for lunch on sun . She had been here several times and it's one of her favorite places . It's alittle on the small size but has a nice bar that you can sit at also . Probably best to make reservations. I had the mushroom soup which was very good.. my daughter had the soup and the Heirloom Burrata salad. It's a nice casual place .

I came here for dinner and drinks with friends and was so pleasantly surprised by the ambiance! The lighting and decor really made the place feel fancy and casual at the same time. Our server was wonderful, kind, and attentive to all our needs. She recommended the green goddess hummus, which I found to be lacking in both flavor profile and quantity. The main spice I got was one I could only place from Skyline chili (weird, I know) and I didn't hate it. It was good, but I'll try something else next time. My boyfriend got the burger which was huge and very delicious, and I got the Shroom pizza which was a beautifully balanced and light pizza. I would definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Another great spot in Columbus. We sat at the bar, our bartender was engaging and a pleasure to talk Too. Enjoy a nice glass of bourbon (old Fitz) of course poured neat. The spicy chicken sandwich was spot on and the right size. The fries with the garlic dip was perfect as well. This was recommended to me and it delivered on all levels .

I will definitely be back - I called in last minute for dinner with a friend. I mentioned it was my birthday, and when I arrived, there was a handwritten card on the table! Parking: normal German Village on street parking Food: phenomenal! The salad and pepperoni pizza were delicious. The pepperoni has some sort of sweet sauce (honey or syrup, maybe) that added a nice flavor to it. Service: great!

Grew up in Columbus but moved away in my early 20s, so had never really spent much time in German Village. Been visiting mom a lot lately so am enjoying getting to know the city again. Lots of hip places these days, like Soth Village Grille. On the hunt for a really good Burger, I searched reviews here and online. I settled on Soth Village because it wasn't too far and they sold me on the House Burger with its short rib grind, pepper jam, and brioche bun. Salivating, I called my order in and jumped in my car to go pick it up. It was ready before I got there. Upon walking in, I was reminded of NYC dining (where I live now). The place is dimly lit, nicely appointed, and quite small. The prices are akin to NYC too, as my Burger was $19. Or $21 since I got the truffle fries. The Burger was cooked just right and rightly sized. It was tender and moist and the toppings were crisp and fresh, the bun soft and light and toasty--great contrast of textures. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the flavor, which to me was bland. The meat was unseasoned and I didn't taste the pepper jam. The fries were decent but not quite crispy, but the truffle mayo hit the spot. I'm split between a 3 and a 4 here because I was really looking for a great Burger and that first bite left me unsatisfied on the flavor front. I'll go 4 since clearly the food is high quality nonetheless and otherwise.
