I met some co-workers here during Pearl Market at about 12:30 (just after their main lunch rush). I got stuck at work and asked them to go ahead of me. By the time I arrived, they were at a table outside and had just gotten their food. The waiter was extremely brusque, handing me a menu and demanding that I had to order immediately (I would understand if there were people waiting for tables, but there were empty tables all around us). I had never been here before, so I just picked the first thing I saw (a chicken sandwich) and ordered a water. I commented to my co-workers about how rude he was being, but they said that he was "just trying to be funny". I was not amused. After waiting for about ten minutes, my co-workers let a passing waitress know that I was waiting for my water and my food. The waiter returned a few minutes later with my food but still no water. When I asked again for a water he seemed extremely irritated. I actually ended up apologizing for "bothering" him. At this point even my co-workers agreed that he was being rude to me. Everyone else loved their meals, but in my opinion my sandwich was only okay, and the kettle chips were inedible. When the waitress came back with our checks she proudly announced that she had not charged us for drinks (which made no real difference because out of the six of us only one had ordered anything other than water). I usually would give an "okay" meal another chance, but given the rude treatment from the waiter I will likely never go back here again.

We went in about 9pm This past Saturday after the football game they were not crowded and had one party of 6 looking at the menu The barkeep looked mad at the world and like he could care less if we stayed or left so we left We are kind people and felt that this was a very poor way to act to patrons and we were really looking forward to trying out the food We went back to tip top they were all glad to see us and took great care of us and the food was great

Best burger in Columbus! I never thought Id say I like a burger better than those from Thurmans in German Village, but Ringside proved me wrong. I will NEVER go to Thurmans over Ringside again. They also have amazing kettle chips and unbeatable fries. Great service too! Quick, and accurate (I can be picky).

Had the haymaker with a side of the 3 pepper buffalo sauce. The jalapeños were fresh, and the 3 pepper buffalo sauce would be PERFECT on wings. Place is totally legit to claim vest burgers in Columbus! Smaller place, so bigger groups may have to wait a bit just to sit down.

Great Food, People and unique atmosphere. Its off the beaten path but the quality of food and service you receive is the best you will find. If your looking for a unique bar with good food this place is for you. Great home made kettle chips, sandwiches, and burgers.

My husband and I walked into this place randomly. Dan was awesome. Recommended food for us. The Haymaker and the deep fried ruben. Man that was probably one of the best burgers I have had. He even spilt our plates for us so we could taste both. Place was on point!!

Some of the best burgers around. Get the Oscar de la Hoya and savor every bite. The fries are fantastic and make a necessary side for the burgers. Unfortunately, the the bathrooms are nasty. Well worth a stop if youre downtown after work and want a burger and a beer.

GREAT food!! HORRIBLE Server! She was very rude! This was not the first time I was in there. Last time I was in she was rude as well. However every time we eat there the food taste amazing, I just wish they could match the amazing food to an amazing server.

Great atmosphere and ambiance in the heart of Columbus. Great place to eat before a show at either the Palace theater or the Ohio Theater. Food is great for a small bar. Its a must try.

THE hole in the wall of Columbus, Ohio. The burgers are phenomenal, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is the coolest in town - its like nothing has changed since the 1920s!

At this classic American spot, you will find the best burgers downtown, the freshest French fries, and an atmosphere that has changed very little in the 100 years they have been open.

The Oscar came out rare instead of medium, but it was great anyways. Best fries Ive had. Theyre salty / smoky and just great. Hidden in an alley right next to the capital building.

Wonderful burgers! They make their own buns and chips which really makes each option delicious. Very limited seating but has outdoor seating when the weather is accomidating.

The "Old School" Burger was one of the best burgers Ive ever tasted in my life! Small place and packed this evening...but delicious with a decent beer selection.

One of the best burgers in Columbus. Staff is extremely friendly. The only downside to the place is parking, but just park on the street on Gay Street and walk.

Absolutely awesome burgers. Oldest bar in Columbus. Is on the smaller side but an excellent experience. I love their shoestring fresh cut fries as well.

A cramped, cozy dive bar. I really like this place, plus it has historical significance. At least check it out once.

Giant burgers, greasy but good. Good service, good ambiance. If you sit outside at lunch it can get super windy!

Very delicious burger. However itll be better if the burger is served on a plate instead of a basket.
