We stopped in to pass a cold Saturday afternoon. The bar was packed, but we were directed to a booth pretty quickly. So far so good. Too bad it took forever for a member of the wait staff to appear. Once they did, we started with the Session IPA. Not such a good idea. This is the only IPA I have ever had that tasted more like a grapefruit radler than a beer. No bueno. But the Hatechation Pale Ale more than made up for the undrinkability of the Session. This is a beer you can drink all day long. They call it a traditional ale, we call it awesome. While we sipped our suds, we felt those subtle hunger pangs that could not be ignored. Once we managed to get a member of the wait staff to remember we existed, we order the bruschetta. It was a nice size to share and tasty. Another round of brews calls for another nibble. This time it was the soft pretzel. Served with a grainy mustard and beer cheese. The mustard was the best thing that came out of that building that day. I would eat bark if it had that mustard on it. Asked if it was a house creation available for sale in the deli in the front of house, but alas no.
Eventually we moved on. It didn't get any warmer outside, but we were warmer inside. Will come back if for nothing more than anything with that mustard.

It's what every neighborhood needs. A fun, fast, and friendly place to dine, celebrate, or just hang. And be all of those things to families, children, singles, grandparents, students and business people. That's the thinking behind the concept of the Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern.

Went here with my wife and some friends for lunch. I had the blue plate special, schnitzel with spaetzel and red cabbage. My wife had the cod sandwich. Both were very good and my wife loved the accompanying sweet potato fries. I enjoyed a seasonal craft beer. Recommended and we'll be back. Interestingly, we were able to sit "outside" on the patio which had plastic covers keeping the cold out. It was about 10 deg, and the area was quite warm.

New Thai restaurant in uptown Westerville
Reviewed By williammZ222ZR - Marco Island, Florida
The Thai Grill had been recommended to us. We found it over-rated by our friends. The food was average at best and found some food extremely spicy and some food with very little taste. Wait staff was average and service was spotty at best. Had to ask for water three times before we got it. Service was slow and food was served warm not hot. We were disappointed.
4. City Barbeque

The idea for City Barbeque was born as an invitation to all the people in the city to enjoy great barbeque- America's food. Our award-winning barbeque is made with only the highest quality meats and served with our signature sauces on the side. Huge smokers are loaded daily to guarantee the very best hickory smoked, juicy, tender meat anywhere. So if an authentic barbeque experience is what you're after, look no further. Small groups of folks like us still believe in honoring quality, generations of tradition and true service. Whether you call it barbecue, Bar-B-Que, BBQ, or barbeque - we've got what you are looking for!

Pretty neat place. Wait in line, select your favorites & drinks and you get a tray of good food and your choice of BBQ Sauce to boot. Plenty of wooden tables to stretch out and enjoy your meal. Kids will love the place. I loved their selections and sides but watch out for those chunks of Pork in the Baked Beans. We did lunch and split a pulled Chicken sandwich. Good BBQ and reasonable prices.
5. Lucky House Chinese Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 146 reviews
Reviewed By Jim H - Westerville, Ohio
I've been going to Lucky House for somewhere between 15 and 20 years. It has always been one of our favorite restaurants and we go there frequently. It is family owned and much of the wait staff has been there for years. The Family Dinner specials are really good with really large portions. Often times we'll order the Bobo Special for Two which includes all the main appetizers. We usually add 2 bowls of wonton soup and extra egg rolls - makes for a filling meal without leftovers. For variety -- their seafood soup for two ($6.99) is excellent. Served family style in a soup tureen - it was equivalent to about 4 bowls of wonton soup. This is a family restaurant and is very casual. Not too noisy / great service and good food.
The shopping center has been doing a lot of renovations and they're currently working on the parking lot surrounding Lucky House. As part of the overall renovations, the owner told me they will be adding a patio with outdoor seating. Looking forward to that.

Our food was good. I had the broiled fish and my wife had the crab cake sandwich. Both were good and surprisingly large for the price. It took a long time to get our food, but we didn't mind. The place is small and does have a few outdoor tables as well. Overall, we were glad we chose this place for dinner.

I always enjoy my meal at Giammarco's. The food is always good, the servers are friendly and knowledgeable. Service is quick, but I never feel rushed. I have eaten lunch and dinner here, but most recently it was for lunch. The prices are fair for the fine quality.

I ate tonight at the Asterisk Supper Club in Westerville, Ohio. This place was super on many different fronts. My server, Jeremy L. was one of the best I ever have had and I travel the world extensively!! He recommended two separate cocktails to start the evening…. Both were tremendous!!!! They were two different gin drinks and I would highly recommend them. They were called the Aviation and the Asterisk Orchid…. Get them!!!!!! Jeremy also recommended the chips and salsa and the guacamole was super great!!!! Also the chips were actually hot and delicious!!!!!!! WOW!!! What a great start….. the owner of the restaurant, I don’t know her name, delivered them to me. Later on I asked to speak to the owner to describe in person my platitudes and she appeared. She was younger than my youngest grand daughter!!!!! She certainly knows what she is doing and how to run a restaurant. This place is so very eclectic and different…. I love it!!!!!!! I had a couple of glasses of their house Cab and it was great!!! For my dinner I selected Lake Erie Walleye and it was really the best…. Two large pieces….I love this place….. great service and food and location and ambiance!!!! You couldn’t ask for more!!!!!! Thanks to all of you who helped me garner a tremendous culinary experience!!!!!!

Reviewed By gary c - Carolina, Puerto Rico
Cardone's is off the beaten path in Westerville, however it's so close to the plethora of restaurants in the Polaris area. I had a great waiter and a great culinary experience. I sat outside the regular restaurant in a covered patio with windows and it was a great place to eat and still be outside. I had a peppered ahi tuna for an appetizer and it was great!!!!! For my entree I ordered Osso Buco and it literally fell off the bone and the way it was prepared was the best!!! I had several wines (all old world) but they were all great!!!! I highly recommend this place for great food!!!!!! Please give it a try!!!!
