   We come here a lot and we have never had a bad meal, beer or service. Big Rig, Maple Burger, short rib sliders and crab cake sliders are all a must try.

   I really enjoyed my time here . The food was excellent. The drinks were good and we got great service. I would definitely recommend The Walrus for a night out for food and drinks. I'll definitely be back because I love the Walrus fries 🍟.

    We made a reservation for before a big comedy show knowing downtown would be busy. When we arrived, about 5 minutes before our reservation time, we were told it would be at least 20 minutes before a table opened up. We were offered a table "next to the pool table", which we accepted because we had a show to get to. The table was shoved in a corner and the trim around the edge was hanging off. It was so close to the table next to it that we could hardly hear ourselves talk. We ordered our drinks and the wrong beer was brought out. It was corrected. When the second round of drinks were ordered, the wrong beer was brought to my husband. The short rib sliders were so dry that the meat was tough. The flavor was decent. We had heard SO many good things about this place and were so disappointed that our experience was so negative. We are unlikely to return given there are plenty of options nearby.

    I had really mixed feelings about this place. I came in on a recommendation from the host I am renting from. We were immediately told that there were no tables available without a reservation because they were full. After noticing the bar wasn’t the most comfortable option, I used open table to check how long the wait for a table would be. It had plenty of spots available, so I booked the 6:15p reservation at 6:07p then proceeded to show the hostess. At this point, she was able to magically find us a table, and we sat for dinner. The waitress was great, and the food was excellent and tasty. We ended up getting two apps and an entree, and several drinks. Though the end of service was nice, I still left the restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth.

    This was my first visit there. Sat just inside at a high table. Wait staff very attentive and friendly. The drinks were good. I ordered the chicken salad croissant with sweet potato fries. The fries were fantastic and the dipping sauce yummy. The chicken salad was not to my liking. A little too heavy. It was ample in size, for sure. My companion got the cheeseburger, sans the cheese and loved it. I will definitely try it again.

    Stopped to have a bite before going to see Wicked. Personally thought it was too loud. The music was blasting and people were then talking above it to one another. Gotta find that balance where it’s enjoyable for everywhere.

    Had an excellent experience at the walrus! Booked a table for 12 for a birthday dinner and we were taken care of by Joey who was super attentive, friendly and funny! He helped us choose food that everyone enjoyed and made sure we were taken care of. The lobster mac and cheese, chicken nachos, and hot pastrami sandwiches were stand outs! We will definitely be back!

    I'm the vegetarian of the group and was very happy with my options. I had the portobello mushroom fries which were amazing. Veggie burger was well a veggie burger, nothing good or bad. Next time I will get the sweet potato tacos!

    Love the Walrus - will certainly come back. They could use some noise treatments or turn down the music feed a bit. It was impossible to talk across the table without yelling and I couldn't hear anything from the far end of our 6-person table.

    Food and service were great. We were there celebrating a birthday and didn’t realize it was trivia night so it was extremely loud inside and we couldn’t hear each other when talking to one another. That was my fault for not double checking activities going on that night. It was overall a good place to eat and we really liked our waitress.

    First time - interesting place. Good staff, beer and decent food. I had the hot pastrami which was very good. My wife had the short rib sliders - just okay. We started with calamari which was less than perfect. We will go back to try some of the other items - it was busy and people all appeared happy and enjoying their food, so give it a try - it is likely you will find something you will like.

    First time actually spending a day in Columbus and decided to try the Walrus. Went for an early dinner, 5:00pm, and really enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress was great and recommended items once we told our preferences. We started with the pretzel, which was soft and delicious. Then had the lobster pierogies that were spectacular. We followed up with tacos for our main course, as it was taco tuesday, and shared a lobster roll. All we would highly recommend!

    The music was so loud that our ears physically hurt. Have never been in a bar/restaurant where the music was this loud. The food was pretty good, but we couldn’t even hear each other talk at all. Have been here before and it was a normal noise level for a bar/restaurant, so I don’t know what was happening that night, but it was kinda miserable.

    Servier was quick and efficient. The hostess let us know that it was trivia night and would get noisy. The server was fast and efficient. Our dinner was prompt to the table and was tasty—A delightful evening.
