The quoted wait of 35 min went v fast. Like the app to track ones place in line. Food was good, decent imagination Only real downer is the noise level, site says Moderate, should be changed to LOUD. If you are trying to have any sort of conversation? Be ready to talk loud and ask for repeats.
The Columbus Food Truck Fest
📍 Address: 160 S High St, Columbus

This was the first year I've had the chance to go to the food truck festival at the Columbus Commons, since I always happen to schedule vacation mid-August. I was pretty excited seeing a lot of food trucks on the list that I hadn't seen before, so we went down right after work on Friday. You can pretty much expect long lines everywhere and limited parking. It really didn't seem worth trying to buy booze, since the lines were so long, so we just grabbed drinks in between at The Walrus. Little Palace and 16-Bit are right there too if you want to step away from the crowds for a bit. I love that there are food trucks from all over Ohio and not just Columbus. We had awesome jerk chicken sliders from Ena's Jerkmania from down in Cincinnati. I'd had most of the popular Columbus food trucks, so most of the lines I was in weren't very long, but if you're trying to stop in to the more well known ones, you'll probably have to wait. It's definitely worth going earlier rather than later at night. A fraction of the trucks are across the street in a parking lot making the sidewalks a little congested, and it's kind of dangerous since 3rd St. passes right through the middle of the festival. I saw someone almost hit by a car on Sunday. My biggest let down was going back around noon on Sunday and seeing that almost all of the trucks had left, and the only ones still there were the ones that had set up shop in the parking lot. I understand that three days might be a commitment for everyone to keep the trucks down at the Commons, but what's the point of even having a third day then? You might as well just make it two. Since nothing on Sunday looked appealing, we ended up leaving a bit disappointed. I'll probably give it another shot next year just to try some of the newer trucks, but you're better off following the more popular ones on Twitter or Facebook and finding where they are during the week.

It would be useful if they had replied earlier. Now it is half a year later. The fact that they said "We pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service and exquisite comfort foods" after hearing customers' bad experience with the restaurant just means that they still believe they are good while the customers think they are not. When they said "If you would like to make a future reservation...," it means that they do not really care if customers come back or not due to their pride among themselves. That is why they said " If you would like.." Would you want to go back to a restaurant with poor service and horrible food while it is pricey? Or would you give a try to elsewhere instead? This restaurant is good for travellers who have not been to the better places with similar level in Vancouver.

Great, "healthy" chinese food, not far from where I live, inside a super nice dining area. Sounds like a winner to me! A word to the wise - the food will NOT taste exactly like it does at that greasy hole in the wall you order from at 2am when the bars close, but it will be fresh, delicious, and will leave you food coma free. Be sure to try the crab rangoons here - possibly the best I have had.

Yes!!! Quality Greek food meets the perfect setting. As a pescatarian there was lots of options and they also have a vegetarian menu - upscale prices but delicious. Old serving staff is still there and they need A/C but the food will keep us coming back.
Charlie's Kitchen
📍 Address: 10 Eliot St, Cambridge
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
It may be a dive, but I love Charlie's Kitchen. The beer selection is good, and everything is pretty cheap. I usually opt for the $4 burger (w/ fries!) when I go and play trivia on Sunday nights. I have found the service to be quite good, in the straight-the-point, efficient, non-pampering way that you would expect.
