We start with free range, all-natural Amish chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. It's got a little kick and is served with our house-made hot honey. But we don't stop there - Southern-style sides grace our menu, craft beer flows through our taps, and Blues music pumps through our speakers. At The Eagle, it's all about flying right, eating bird, and curing the Blues.

    I think the wait staff that we interacted with was new and unsure of a few things. There were long stretches that we did not see any one come check on our table. Also no honey sauce was served with chicken and with long time between visits from wait staff made the meal less than what it could have been. Food and Drink was great overall. Great selections of both and loved everything we had as far as food and drink.

    This is the second year our party of 8 dined at the Elevator before going to the Blue Jackets game. Our awesome server remembered us from the year before! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their entrees and adult beverages. My out of town guests were impressed by the beauty of this historic spot and commented how much they enjoyed the dining experience there. We also appreciated the lack of noise level that enabled us to catch up. Some places have the music up so loud it’s hard to converse, keep up the good work!

    To clarify, the noise level was normal. We were celebrating two friends' birthdays and it was a great place to have a small gathering. If anything, we were the noise, lol. We reserved a table for 6, sat in the left corner by the by the window. We were able to utilize the part of the table next to us, 8 people came. Our server made our party fun and relaxed. Wish I could recall her name, she was on point and this makes or breaks an event for me. The food was so very tasty, brunch food mainly, served us well with our bloody marys and marias. I'm funny about sausage at places but theirs was similar to what I like only much better. Bacon, potatoes both kinds, donuts and "breakfast shot" all hit the spot for me! Can't wait to go back!
