    The food was delicious and our server was very nice and patient with our group. I have visited Way Down Yonder several times and brought a cousin for her first visit. She really enjoyed the wings, catfish, macaroni and cheese and dirty rice. We'll definitely be back soon. This has become one of our favorite places for good southern food. We are country folks and it is hard to find in Columbus.

    The place is a bit worn and the decorations are over the top. Too much going on on the tables but overall the dish I got was really good. Their famous punch needs some adjusting. It was made with kool aid and cheap juices.

    Great 1st time at Way Down Yonder. The waitress was wonderful. My wife had the shrimp and grits, and I had a shrimp & sausage po boy with a side of dirty rice. Both were excellent and portions where substantial. We look forward to returning and trying everything on the menu.

    Plucked straight out of New Orleans — the real New Orleans, not the touristy Bourbon St version. Love everything about this place and the food is unreal. Service is great, folks are so nice. It takes some time for food to arrive but everything is from scratch and 100% worth any wait. Portions are huge so expect to take home leftovers! So happy to have Chef Yonder in town!

    Some of the best crawfish étouffée I've had outside of Louisiana. Even though they were busy, the staff were extremely friendly. Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu! Definitely recommend.

    Food and service was excellent. To dine in you must make a reservation. When we arrived they called us by the reservation party name when we got to the door and had our table ready. The service was excellent and the food was perfect.

    I’ve ate here 100 times and every single time the food is consistently good. I take everyone I can here to try it and they fall in love. Seriously good food! IMO best greens, Mac & Cheese and sweet potatoes all in one place.
