Pickerington is a city in Fairfield and Franklin counties in the central region of the U.S. state of Ohio. It was founded in 1815 as Jacksonville. Pickerington was known as Jacksonville until 1827, when the citizens petitioned the state legislature to change the name to Pickerington in honor of its founder, Abraham Pickering. It is a suburb of Columbus. The population was 18,291 at the 2010 census. As land annexation, development, and immigration into the Columbus area continues, the city of Pickerington (like many area suburbs) has generally followed suit.

3. Village Wines and Bistro
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 86 reviews
Reviewed By Renee J
After a long hot day of errands and chores, my husband and I thought Village Wines sounded like a nice evening. We were not disappointed! We started off with the calamari which was perfectly cooked with a delicious dipping sauce that was sweet but had a nice kick. Our server Tyler was great to recommend a speciality drink - the house Mai Tai (which was excellent - I had 2!) thanks Tyler! He also recommended the center cut filet for my husband and the crab cakes for me. I was teetering between the chipotle shrimp and the crab cakes, so I went with the crab cakes. The crab cakes were delicious - served with asparagus - and were a very nice light dinner on a warm evening. My husband's filet was cooked to his request and he was very pleased with it! I talked myself out of the s'mores dessert cup (I looked delicious though!). Thanks for a great dining experience!
4. Hickory House Restaurant

Reviewed By rjrobbin - Powell, Ohio
We had reservations for 6:30...there was a line waiting..however, we were taken directly to our table...waitress was right there. We chose this restaurant because of the reviews that ribs were the best. The waitress brought our drinks. We ordered onion straws. The bowl came and it was enormous...they were crispy..a dish of barbeque sauce came with them. For dinner, ordered a slab...half a slab would have been more than sufficient. Side salad and fries. The dinners came...the ribs filled the plate. They were tasty, meaty..couldn't have asked for more. The service was prompt and friendly. Considering it was new years eve, I would have thought we would be rushed through dinner. The opposite was true. We enjoyed our meal.

I was back up in the Pickerington area, and found that Thai Paradise had recently moved. The new location seems to have more seating, which is a definite plus. I had a crab rangoon appetizer, which was delicious; this is not your run-of-the-mill cream cheese...MoreThank you for visiting us in our new location! We love being here and serving excellent Thai food

Every chance we get we go to Scali's, they never disappoint us. Always make reservations if you don't they do now have seating at the bar and kitchen. I suggest asking your server what the specials are upon arrival. Their specials are truly a special and they normally run out. So make sure to get your order in early. We receive their emails weekly that tell you about their specials. It is truly the closest thing to being in Italy.

WOW! We had the best experience here yesterday. Happy waitress, prompt service, refills before glasses empty. Food was fabulous! Portions are quite large and we wasted a lot. We will definitely return and likely split meals or order less. Only caution was for anyone on a low carb, no carb diet. Not many options.
9. Shade On The Canal

My husband and I stop in Shade’s fairly often for lunch. Today’s visit was another great experience! The loaded chips were “loaded”with plenty of cheese sauce, bacon, green onions and diced tomatoes. My husband’s BLT was loaded with bacon - he gets these pretty often. My Philly steak sandwich was so huge, I ate it the a fork and knife! Everything was delicious and our server Lauren was very attentive to the speed at which my husband was drinking his Diet Coke. This is a local establishment that is run with care - it is always busy and the service is always great!
10. Omezzo Restaurant and Pizzeria
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
Reviewed By Robin F - Holiday, Florida
A friend and I wanted to try a new to us place for Italian food. We read reviews and decided to try Omezzo. We were thrilled with our choice. We each ordered a glass of wine. Our waitress brought the bottles out to pour and one was wrong. She quickly corrected her mistake. Fresh bread and oil with crushed garlic for dipping were served. We shared a capresse salad. Cheese, greens and balsamic dressing were excellent but the tomatoes lacked flavor.(too early for the season). I had the eggplant parmiganio with a meatball on the side. It came with a healthy serving of angel hair pasta that was al dente. Eggplant was well seasoned and the sauce was tasty. The large meatball was moist and tasty. My friend had the cheese tortilini with veggies which she loved. We had lots of leftovers. There is ample parking. We had reservations. My only negative is that the ladies room is difficult to get into.
