Best wings in Central Ohio. Ate there a few times to be sure. Sweet chili seems to be our consensus favirite but a couple of the dry rubs were the bomb too.

Staff very welcoming and friendly. Even though we had to wait a little to be seated, the fact they acknowledge your presence already makes a huge difference. There are a lot of different type of seats which helps if you had different audiences. There’s regular seating, bar seating, cabin seating. Food is awesome. Wings were very tasty and not oily as we usually see. Nachos were small but the size is SO FAIR! Not to mention the price was super fair too. I definitely recommend and I’ll definitely be back.

Really good food & service here tonight! Solid burger (Atlas Tavern Signature) and loved the addition of black garlic although it could’ve used a touch less. I’ll definitely be back soon!

This is close to the mall and has decent food with good service. The menu is more unique than a lot of standard places, but that is exactly why we wanted to try it out. I had an apple butter chicken sandwich which was very delicious for anyone with a sweet pallet. The beer cheese they use with the pretzel had a unique taste that I wasn't a particular fan of but everyone has a slightly different spin to the old pretzel and cheese. The staff was very friendly and quick to provide service/food/drinks. The place is a bit small, so if it's busy it can fill up fast.

Great service and vibes, food was good overall. Wings weren’t amazing as they claimed. French dip was good and the apple butter chicken sandwich was spectacular

First experience and we cannot wait to go back!! The Garden Smorgasbord was a great start! A nice variety of chips and veg to convey the 4 delicious dips!! We decided to split the Italian Beef Sandwich and it was amazing! Try their French fries with Cajun seasoning and a side of their homemade ranch!! Large portions on the food and there was a nice variety of beers on tap! We were there for a Saturday lunch, so we had no wait and there was easy parking. 10/10 will definitely be back!!!

Stopped here for dinner on our way through Columbus. Friendly service, portions were huge, and food was great! There was no wait for a table. Good local draft beer choices! Buffalo chicken dip came with chips, celery, carrots, and a soft pretzel stick, highly recommend for an appetizer. The chicken sandwiches were huge and tasty. The salt and vinegar crusted cod sandwich was really delicious! Highly recommend Atlas Tavern!
