Made an appointment to get tires put on. Came in the next day for the appointment and they refund to put them on because the tires I wanted were not the exact size printed on the sticker on the car. That sticker just shows what the vehicle had when assembled it does not mean that is the only tires it can have on it.

You really can't help but to shop at Walmart because they have everything! Right!? It's a bit much tho since COVID they act like being open until 11pm now is just horrible but to me it's just strange Walmart has always been a 24/7 hour facility!

Its Walmart. What else? Nothing about Walmart changes except the money you spend and the people they employee. They basically have everything you want or need and will sell it to you without regret. It's wally world so they gonna get paid epithet way. I've tried to stay away from there but I just can't.

Deli employees and the employees who fill the delivery orders are lazy. No attempt at substitutions, and they slice deli meat as thick as the machine will allow. I got SEVEN slices of ham in a pound. This has happened multiple times. Delivery orders are a must for my job, and this is the worst Walmart to order from.

This store has really went down since they took out the jewelry counter. Poor selection, no name brands, walls have no displays. Looks like it's going out of business soon. Desperately needs new management that understand what we need in Columbus and are passionate about fashion.

They took away the Amazon line at the service desk. So now you gotta stand and wait 30 to 40 minutes. In line to give them a Amazon package. Because they turn the whole service desk into a check out line. So you have to wait for everybody to get checked out. Just to turn in the Amazon package, it's ridiculous. Turn it back to how it was. Check out people on a regular register and let the Amazon people have a line just for Amazon. What a joke.

The woman in front of me was having difficulties with her payment so I had a long wait time. Another associate showed up but the couple behind me rushed over to her. I also did a return and that person was very difficult to understand. My credit is not showing up on my bank statement. I will call to check on that on the next business day. Unfortunately, not a positive experience on Thursday evening at Kohl’s.

Nature & Parks
Lincoln Park is a vast outdoor space renowned for its wide range of recreational offerings, such as an ice rink, fields, and batting cages. It boasts well-maintained local ball diamonds and excellent facilities for softball/baseball, including a dedicated batting cage setup for both sports. The park also provides affordable entertainment and practice opportunities with its reasonably priced dozen balls available for $1. Moreover, Lincoln Park's ample parking ensures convenience during travel baseball games without any additional charges.
We parked at this park to ride our bikes on the People Trail. But it has tennis courts, baseball fields and an indoor ice rink and more. We enjoyed our picnic at a table near the river in the shade.

Ice cream shop
Museum
Zaharakos is a renowned ice cream parlor that dates back to 1909, featuring homemade ice cream and a classic American menu. The interior is adorned with carved oak, stained glass, and Tiffany-style lamps, creating an old-world atmosphere. The establishment also houses a museum showcasing its rich history. Guests can enjoy the exquisite decor and unique dining experience with mechanical jukeboxes.
This is a great old fashioned ice cream parlor. The atmosphere was very nostalgic. Our family shared a Big Z Sundae and some sodas from their soda fountain. For the Big Z Sundae you can choose five different scoops of ice cream and three different sauces, whipped cream and cherries were included. The ice cream was creamy, smooth, and flavorful. We included Cookies & Cream, Birthday Cake, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla. Our chosen toppings were hot fudge, caramel, and marshmallow. It made for a very delicious and delightful treat on a hot day for our family. Our choices from the soda fountain were Green River (Lime), Cola, and Red Raspberry. All were very delicious. We can't wait to go back.

This gem downtown has been a staple of Columbus for over 100 years! This is my second time visiting and we were not disappointed. Ice cream is really good and you can't beat the old time atmosphere or the music machines you can play songs on for less than a dollar. They also offer a limited food menu along with the ice cream. I did not have any food on this visit but it smelled really good when other customer's food came out. Facility is bright and clean but very busy. They offer clean and well lit bathrooms. Staff is kind but were perhaps understaffed. Wait times were long even on a non holiday weekday afternoon. To ease this congestion, they offer text alerts via a free app download. That way you can continue shopping and just come back later and not miss reservation time. Overall great location, nostalgic building and machines, fun atmosphere, delicious desserts, and helpful staff. Just don't come by if you're in a hurry.
Nick W — Google review
My family and I ordered carryout, but the experience was disappointing. The staff seemed very unorganized — receipts were scattered all over the place, items were being made multiple times for the same order, and ice cream was left melting on the counter. One worker even took something that had been made for another customer and used it for themselves. On top of that, the general manager stopped employees from making ice cream to discuss where she was going, which slowed everything down even more. The whole process felt chaotic and unprofessional. I really hope management can work on improving organization and focus.

We came here for the ice cream and drinks, but decided to stay for the food. I mist say, the food was a disappointment. Everything was extremely salty, especially the fries, which went pretty much untouched by everyone in our group. We really enjoyed the ice cream and drinks, though. The atmosphere and service were excellent! Our server was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions.

Luciana's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina is a vibrant dining destination that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine in a family-friendly atmosphere adorned with cantina-style decor. Guests rave about the flavorful salsa, which packs just the right amount of heat, and appreciate the inviting patio for al fresco dining on pleasant days.
This place deserves a 5 star. They are never closed and food is never not fresh. If you go to the bar to try tequilas the bartender will give you like a little show and background for each type. Great experience there. However I’m not big on servers talking for too long. When it starts to interrupt my date my review goes down. Long as the servers get that part the place will definitely be a 5 star.

I don’t consider this restaurant authentic Mexican food! I ordered 3 chicken enchiladas with rice, avocado, black bean and queso sauce, the enchiladas were fried and the toppings of creamy queso sauce, black beans and slices of avocado and some weird green chili sauce, not tasty and too heavy, I didn’t finish the plate! On the other hand, my partner ordered a sauteed veggie plate, with a salad and creamed beans, he was satisfied, but not with the salsa they served with chips, tasted like catsup! The waiter brought him two more sauces that made him smile!

The salsa is great and has a little kick. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather is nice. I ordered a grilled burrito that was beef, beans, and cheese. It was supposed to come with verde on the side, but it didn’t, however the waitress quickly brought it when I asked. The prices are higher than most Mexican restaurants. If you are going to charge more than everywhere else the food needs to be GREAT and it was just ok, that’s why I only gave four stars. Our server was awesome and did a great job. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back here unless someone I was with picked this place. It just didn’t live up to the standard for being so overpriced.

Great food, good value, and exceptional service. Outdoor patio allowed for dining without reservations during the pandemic. Texas fajitas provided three types of meat (steak, chicken, shrimp) none of which was overcooked. Great sangria too! Would recommend adding number of tortillas as only 2 were provided. Had rice and beans which added a slight up-charge.

Yummy! Great food, drinks and service! Had a pineapple mojito with a shrimp cocktail appetizer. Shrimp, steak and chicken fajitas. All were delicious. We are from New Mexico, which translates to being snobs when it comes to Mexican fare. I must say that I was doubtful about having edible, let alone delicious Mexican cuisine in the Midwest, but I was pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong. Lovely outdoor dining space and awesome service. Speedy and great recommendations from our server. Had a great dinner and plan to visit again if our travels bring us back to Columbus! Don't hesitate to eat here if you have a craving for some great Mexican!

New American restaurant
Henry Social Club is a stylish tavern with midcentury-modern decor, offering New American cuisine and cocktails. The restaurant provides an upscale dining experience with exquisite food created by Chef Gethin Thomas. The seasonal menu features dishes like Caravaggio pizza and grilled New York strip steak. The atmosphere and wait staff are highly praised, making it a great place for a night out with friends or a special someone.
This was our first time to the Social Club and definitely won't be our last, just a great experience beginning to end. We stopped in on a Wednesday evening without reservations and were able to get 2 seats at the bar. I would recommend reservations to assure seating as we just got lucky. Service was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. I had scallops, and DH had the pork schnitzel. I can highly recommend either entree. They both were delicious, fresh and had great presentation. A must visit restaurant in beautiful downtown Columbus.

I recently dined at this restaurant with some friends. The food quality was unfortunately not as good as my last visit, but entrees were good. The service was top-notch and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The location was great and the decor was nice, with a modern and trendy vibe. Parking was convenient with both street and garage options available. It can be quite busy and I recommend making a reservation to ensure a table. The restaurant was clean and well presented, with a focus on detail and presentation. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience but the food should improve for those prices.

My husband and I went to the Henry Social Club last weekend. Even though we didn't have a reservation they were kind enough to accommodate us. The atmosphere was classy we felt a bit underdressed. The salmon was perfectly fried, and the sauce and veggies complemented the fish nicely. The crème brulée was the best I ever tasted, I highly encourage you to try it.

Nice setting, quiet with great ambient lighting. Very relaxing. Delicious food. Prices weren't too bad. Very friendly service. I got the pecan crusted chicken salad.

It looks like a lot in the picture but just wasn't enough when you dug into it.

I love this place, however the service is average and rushed. The servers are inexperienced and the manager is argumentative when discussing issues with the food. Inconsistencies with information provided when questions are asked. One example, baked cheese tortellini lunch portion is 15pcs and dinner portion is 20pcs - the servers are unaware of this simple question. When you eat here don't have high expectations, but do expect to receive warm food rather than hot.
Mr. W — Google review
Decided to give it another try. Me and my husband use to eat here weekly and we're big fans that had amazing family memories. But like many others, the past couple years the downfall in quality and taste was severe. Today I ordered a tortellini baked cheese with Alfredo and Shrimp carbonara to-go. I asked for some parmeasan and was told that's not something that normally gets put in a to-go order. Wow, huh. I almost apologized for asking. Then as I'm including a tip, she brings a very small cup that would only give enough for 1 meal. But ok..when I get home I opened up dinner. The portion was SMALL. My $47 dinner and there was not even enough to coat the bottom. In comparison to my husband's dinner, it was extremely disappointing. The taste was what I imagine to be a watered down Alfredo. I had to put on my own skillet to warm up. It wasn't warm at all. The carbonara was warm, plenty of a decent portion size but hardly no sauce at all. I ate my husband's dinner, will hv to cook and it cost me a lot of money. I'm saddened to say my patronage with carinos has come to an end. I hope the owner will see this and ask himself what changed can i implement before its too late ? Please sir/ ma'am, make the necessary changes or shut the doors. I miss the food and great customer service I used to get for many years.
MOON G — Google review
Service was ok (a little slow), the food flavor has completely gone downhill, and somehow an Italian restaurant that is known for pizza was out of pizza during a Sunday lunch. However, with that said, the worst/most disgusting part is the state of cleanliness of the restaurant. There was black mold growing on the ceiling, and the bathrooms were gross. It makes you wonder just how disgusting the kitchen is. Management should seriously consider spending a small amount to fix the interior. I would not recommend going based on the current state of the restaurant.
Jordan E — Google review
Food came out at all different times, and when some of it finally did, one of the dishes was cold, so it had to be sent back. We sat near the kitchen and when the cold dish was taken back to the cooks they told the server to "stir it up, its warm on the bottom" even though the meat in the dish was ice cold! 2 other people in our group ordered the lasgana, and it was the last to come out. It gets to our table, and it doesn't even look like Lasgna. It's sloppily put on the plate and flat. So basically, those 2 people didn't even get to eat because all of us were finished by the time they got the Lasgana. Thankfully our server and the manager were very nice! They took some things off our bill and the server was very attentive even though they were short staffed! Food quality was just bad!

This place had some excellent food and the service was pretty good as well. The only issue I have with this place is the lack of upkeep. One of the steps up to our area was cracked and just barely hanging on. We had a large party and even warning everyone to be careful the step still tripped up some of the older folks. The men’s bathroom looked like something found in a run down gas station. When things like this are neglected it makes you wonder what the back of the house looks like. Tighten up. Good food is only part of the equation for customer retention.

The steak meat was delicious but the presentation was a bit messy and I had hard time wrapping my burrito since there were lots of sauce and guacamole on top of it rather inside of it. I would suggest providing two plates one for burrito and one for sauce. The tortilla chips was very delicious but the salsa was not that good. The ambience is really lovely and well-decorated and the staffs are very prompt and helpful. The bathroom didn’t have tissue and was not cleaned.
