Just stopped in the other day and had a great experience! The server was nice and prompt, and the suggested new chicken noodle dish and cheese was great. Would come back!
Ashely was amazingly fantastic! Prompt with the food and drinks! She was so nice and always asked if we needed refills desert and Togo boxes!! Love her
Restaurant week: Service (Miranda) was attentive without hovering and had a great personality. Apps: Firecracker shrimp was delicious. Queso and chips were not spicy and Pico was fresh. Chicken Sandwich was tender and juicy with great toppings. We ordered ranch on the side for the fries and while different the ranch was tasty. Scallops were the favorite. Perfectly seared, the risotto was tender and the basil oil is a delightful touch. Apple pie with a streusel topping and vanilla bean ice cream doesn't disappoint. Gooey Butter Cake was a highlight. We will definitely be back.
This was a hidden gem.💎 It is a little upscale so expect to pay a little more. However the food is outstanding and I will be back. Slight draw back, the wait time for our food could have been better.
Service was great The chicken tenders that my daughter ordered were probably the best I've ever had. My steak unfortunately came out too pink and tasted like a salt block.
I have been here twice and both experiences have been fantastic. The servers are kind, attentive, and the food is very good for the price and quantity you get. Hannah was our server and she was lovely. Very sweet and checked on us regularly to make sure everything was good throughout the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant. Also I love the fact it’s semi casual but you can also dress up and not feel out of place.
Awesome atmosphere. The food was great. The Mac and cheese wasn’t my favorite but the cocktail’s made up for it. The staff is kind and Aiden is friendly. Will definitely go back for a tiki tiki drink!
Houlihan’s Restaurant + Bar exceeded my expectations in many ways. The cleanliness of the establishment is immediately noticeable, from the dining area to the bathrooms, which were private and impeccably maintained. The excellent hygiene standards definitely added to the overall positive experience. The service was outstanding – the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, with a variety of options that catered to different tastes, making it a great spot for any occasion. I actually discovered this place through a DoorDash order, and it intrigued me enough to visit in person. I’m glad I did because the experience was even better when dining in. I invited a friend along, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and excellent service. Houlihan’s is definitely a place I’d recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-run restaurant with great food and even better service.
Service: Was a bit spotty, but its COVID times and they could be overwhelmed. I'd not read too much into it and give them another chance. The servers, greeters and the other staff were very apologetic and courteous. Food: killing taste, I ordered 1 of everything from their menu. I tried everything. Off the charts taste. A slight delay in getting to the food, but I covered that in the service part. Price: We went during happy hour. Most of what we ordered were from the Happy hour menu and it was a flat rate of $5. Please see the pictures, it'll surprise you the quality and quantity of the food. Overall: 5 Stars
Hidden gem alert. They seriously need to market better in Columbus. Imagine if Applebee’s, Chili’s, Longhorn, Outback, Red Lobster never franchised and were still as good as the 90s/ early 2000s. Houlihan’s is by far the most bang for your buck American comfort food restaurant in Cbus. Prices are really so beyond fair it’s like this is the last oasis left surviving the scourge of inflation. The ambience and decor were also pleasantly surprising. Service was top notch, our server Michelle was super helpful, bubbly and kind. Recommendations: cauliflower, scallops, steak and that damn good twice baked potato souffle. Just wow.
