    Stopped for lunch and to kill some time before checking in to our hotel. We had the tater tots which were good but needed something. The actual tot on it’s on lacked seasoning I think but the overall flavor with the toppings was good. They are filling so if sharing between two, be aware. I had the chicken sandwich that had a tomato jam with arugula and an aioli of some kind. It was very good. Needed to fork and knife it but so good. I subbed the chips it came with for the Brussels sprouts which were also delicious. My husband got the burger with Parmesan fries and he enjoyed it. We also drank a few beers. I had a cranberry ginger sour that was good. We were sat by a fire place that was lovely on the cold day. Great place if you’re looking for a unique menu and drinks!

    I'm never disappointed in the food at 101 beer kitchen. The menu changes with the seasons so you get a great variety of interesting choices. I'm pretty darn good bloody mary, chorizo sausage and gravy over top of jalapeno cornbread and chocolate lava cake. Yum! PS. The hostess Lindsey is awesome!

    No way this should’ve left the kitchen. The inside was still very much cold. I’m so disappointed as this used to be one of my favorite restaurants! The last couple of times the food has been mediocre, but this last time was the worst. I called the restaurant and they barely cared. I could’ve gotten sick. Do better!

    My best friend and I had lunch. The food was very good. I had the Salmon BLT and she had the Vegan Burger. We also had hot toddies. We were quite satisfied with our choices. It took a while for the waitress to take our orders though. She indicated that she forgot our table but was very apologetic for doing so. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience and I recommend that you try this restaurant.

    Been meaning to come to this place for awhile, and based on the reviews I should have come sooner! My friends from out of town were visiting and we all decided to catch up at 101 Beer Kitchen in Westerville. The drink menu is really impressive. It as filled with both recognizable & new beers to try, and my girlfriend was really happy with the variety of ciders as well! I stuck to the interesting cocktails. My friend ordered the Tropical Palmoa which packed a punch, and I had the Little Brown Jug which was served in a tall glass. It had a really nice flavor to it which I thought was easy to drink then it definitely snuck up on me so consume with caution. I switched over to 101 Old Fashioned and these were strong and delicious (taking a picture slipped my mind by this point). Served in the classic fashioned glass, with a lemon and cherries on the bottom for flavor. I really liked the size of their ice cube as well, it didn't take up a ton of room in the glass and was easy to drink out of so whoever cuts their ice does a great job. These drinks were between 10$ and 12$ each, so pretty average prices for cocktails. Very worth it. My friends ordered the Loaded Housemade Tater Tots to share. The tater tots came out nice & hot, and were covered in a drizzle of sriracha cream which was not spicy and added a good flavor. I ordered the Housemade Soft Pretzels. I decided to cut the pretzels in pieces that way we could share with the group. Came with a nice cheese spread. I really liked this, but the tater tots were definitely my fave and easier to share! I ordered the 101 Burger, which came with Angus beef, bacon, American Cheese, Horseradish Mayo, lettuce, pickles (came with the perfect amount of pickes!), tomato, all between Brioche Buns and served with Parmesan fries. So huge juicy burger and lots of fries. Noticed in someone else's review they switched out the fries for brussel sprouts, so I think I'm gonna try either that or chips next time. Definitely will satisfy your craving for a nice burger. My friends had the Crispy Lemon Chicken and the Teriyaki glazed pork belly & shrimp bowl. Both looked and tasted delicious, and the serving sizes were NOT small by any means! Our server was really good and checked up on us at like the perfect times. Definitely kept us restocked on our drinks and was really pleasant and efficient! Additionally, just want to point out and give props to 101 for making an easy to read menu with descriptions so I knew what to expect. That's always comforting. As we were leaving, we kept commenting how 101 Beer Kitchen was a great pick. Definitely will be back, and I highly recommend everyone tries it out!

    Somewhere between a high-end pub and and trendy restaurant, 101 Beer Kitchen has a full bar, a large, specialty menu, and some excellent desserts. It's kid-friendly (except at the bar, of course), the staff is prompt, friendly and knowledgable, and the kitchen allows meat substitutions on the burgers (for example, swapping the beef for grilled chicken; see pics). The good: consistent, positive, dining experiences. Good food. Reasonably priced drinks. The bad: it can get quite busy on the evenings and weekends (I made multiple trips at different times before being able to get good pictures).

    Eat here multiple times over a 10 week period while working. All meals were fantastic as was the selection of beers. The serving staff were amazing, always attentive but no overly. Made us feel welcome and at home. Would highly recommend.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Columbus! Amazing menu that rotates seasonally- always excited to see what the team comes up with, the food is consistent and delicious! Great for a date night or just a casual weekday happy hour

    Ambience is really good 👍🏻 Love the service Had a team happy hour at this place and really had great discussions , food was average ( cheese curds was good , Parmesan chicken sandwich was fine and couldn’t finish it personally , beet chips was unique ) , chicken wings was fine only to us Friends had some drinks ( 🍹 beer 🍺, non alcoholic beer 🍻, alcoholic too - nutty Russian , fruit flavored drinks & coke ) Overall good place to visit and enjoy the ambience Fireplace was extremely helpful while going out ;) as it was winter cold outside - had to warm for few seconds and then go out 😇

    Cameron was such a joy! He came over and gave us water when we sat down. Very attentive. When I didnt like my drink he made one personally himself. He went ABOVE and beyond to make our experience great. He didn’t even know it was my anniversary! Also the food was INCREDIBLE I genuinely was not expecting it to be this good. I was going to give up on this chain after the DUBLIN location experience where the waitress put her knuckle in my drink then gave it to me but this turned the bitter taste in my mouth sweet again. Im pretty upset that the green chili and parmesan crusted chicken (pictured below) were removed from the menu I sincerely hope these items return. Either way I will. And I am sure I will have a new favorite.

    Great experience first time there. Waitress was very friendly and helpful with the ordering. Fish and chips were great as was the breaded chicken. Appetizers of pretzel and fried green tomatoes was phenomenal. Side dishes of red potatoes and macaroni and cheese was awesome. Like how they leave a growler on the table with water. Great spot will definitely eat there again if in town.

    LOVE THIS especially was great for having large groups!!! A lot of variety of “fancy” menu options but still something for everyone & a great cocktail: Harvest Moon which almost everyone ordered. Great, friendly service and perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

    I can't praise 101 beer kitchen enough. Fan-freaking-tastic beer selection. They always have what I want. In fact, this is one of the only restaurant/bars that has such a good beer selection that I have to pick between like eight different things I want to try. And the food is great. Awesome menu. The staff is awesome and super friendly. So if you like good beer, and great food, then you need to head to 101 beer kitchen.

    Have visited frequently and usually get food to go. Servers are great, good variety of menu options, and quality of food has generally been good. Unfortunately, have consistently experienced issues with incorrect to-go orders that have been ordered in-person at restaurant. Called twice after getting home and realizing order incorrect and received credit on both occasions (item incorrect or left out). However, have had multiple other incorrect orders. Consistent errors (including today) have been cheese on burgers or sandwiches when ordered no cheese, burgers prepared medium/medium rare when ordered well done (switched orders to well after ordering medium well & consistently receiving medium rare), and incorrect sides. Service/staff is great, not sure why orders frequently incorrect.

    Food was fantastic. I ordered the short rib. The amount given was smaller than typical but the flavors of the dish were great. Also, service was great.

    The walleye was sooooo good! Served over fried green tomatoes. Can't recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Maryann S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was hopping! Everyone in the restaurant was having a great time, drinking, eating, and laughing! Our server was fantastic! Ask for Dominique! She was friendly, fast, and very efficient. She really went over and beyond to take care of us! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm, friendly and fun! Their drink menu was very extensive, with so many draft beer options. I highly recommend this place. It is conveniently located near Polaris mall and 71.

    My husband and I went there for the first time on 7/7 for a late lunch/early dinner. The inside is so rustic and cozy. We sat at a high top within the bar. The bartender was our server. We ordered the pretzels for appetizer. I had just a side of fries so I could have desert. My husband ordered the 101 burger. I had the Key Lime Parfait and also a Pineapple Mojito Sangria. Everything was delicious, service was amazing!

    This place is awesome and you couldn’t really ask for anything cooler if you’re out for a quick bite to eat. This place is a great beer variety price is not bad location is great atmosphere is really fantastic an impressive. Dropped in here for a business meeting over lunch and I’m glad that we gave it a try. The name made me think of a college class 101 but when you get in here you’ll see this place is really advanced level. Strikes me as more of a nice restaurant then just a beer hall I think if you come here you’ll find that to be true

  • 5/5 Connor R. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly if I could rate it 6/5 stars I would, the pecan encrusted chicken was like life changing, my friend that was with me says that the bite of chicken from my meal was the highlight of the meal as well. Dont know if I am ever going to try and order anything else from here other then that chicken because it was so amazing.

    Very good Cuban pork belly sandwich! Service in bar could be a bit quicker but food and beer is very good.

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped in for a beer and a Margarita, not expecting perfectly cooked filets, and the Shrimp and Cheddar Grits was amazing! Great service at the bar seating topped off a nearly perfect experience 👌. Only thing that would have made it better is if we would have come a little earlier to enjoy it longer since we came in an hour before closing. Great Job! Thank You.

    I'm a wing and beer guy, so this place is one of my favorite. They smoke the wings and, I'm telling you, they are some of the best I've ever had. I'm not sure how they make their blue cheese sauce, but it's the best. They have a seasonal tap menu and theres always a few great choices. Great to have a spot like this near me!

  • 5/5 Aravinda D. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food Greta service and welcoming vibe inside the restaurant. This is a popular spot and evenings can get crowded. I recommend you make a reservation. The pork torta with the tortilla soup I had was amazing! After being here a handful of times, I still keep rediscovering it.

    My husband and I went down to Columbus for the day and this is one of our favorite restaurants. I would highly recommend the lemon chicken juicy crispy fresh with red skin potatoes green beans a delicate lemon sauce it is so yummy unfortunately it's a seasonal item so it will probably be off the menu shortly. My husband had the 101 Burger which he loved of course my husband has really met a hamburger he doesn't like. Craft beers are very good he had an IPA that he enjoyed I can't remember the name of it however. We also had what I termed a rather unusual appetizer BLT stacks. Ameld a very interesting flavor is with a fried green tomato bacon greens pepper jelly and I can't remember what else but it was really good however that is also a seasonal item and may not be on the menu when you go to visit. I always enjoy my meals at this restaurant this was a location that we had not been to previously and it's very very nice. Service was also excellent.

    Great food. Very good selection of beers. Service in bar area could be faster.

  • 5/5 Leann G. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the atmosphere and food. This last time we went we had terrible service. But that is not typical here. The first time we went we had a great server and I highly recommend all their sides 😊 delicious. Drinks are great also.

👍👍 The whole family loved this place. Only issue I had were the onion rings. They were still doughy and had no flavor, don't get them. However, the burgers were awesome and even the kids said they wanted to come back. The fontana sauce is on another level.....amazing. Get a side of it and dip everythin...
