In Columbus for a overnight stay and the front dest suggested The Walrus. Once you find a place to park it is a cool place. I got the steak sandwich with cheese. It was tender and has a good taste. The fries were crispy just the way I like them. My fiancee had walrus salad and she said it was good. Olivia took care of us and checked on us with perfect timing. I would definitely eat here again.
I recommend this place 110%! My boyfriend and I’s original Valentine’s Day dinner plans fell through, so we came here instead but don’t regret it one bit. Every worker was attentive and kind, especially our bartender, Olivia! Our food came out in no time at all — extremely hot and phenomenal tasting! The portions were huge and allowed us to be able to have leftovers for tomorrow. Overall, I would recommend this place if you’re stopping by! The only downside is I don’t live in Columbus (hour and a half away), but will be back next time I’m in town!

Average to below average good. Decent service. I stopped here on a Sunday evening. They were not busy at all. We were actually able to park right outside in front of the place. The service was good. The food came out rather quickly. After about 20 minutes. The food was average to below average. I ordered cookies for dessert which are not pictured here. They were quite below average even though they came out warm. I wasn’t too impressed. The pricing was high for the food quality. I would not return here.
I’m not the type to leave a bad review, but two strikes usually warrants one. I’ve been flying into Columbus for business and was fairly happy to find a gem - unfortunately, here we are. Strike 1: Ordered 2 Full Lobster rolls which comes with 4 Rolls, but only received 1 order when the Uber driver delivered. Strike 2: I came to pick my order up today because they forgot an order yesterday. Well, you can see from the photo the meat ratio is probably 1 order - if maybe even half or less. I paid $70 for two orders. This is bad quality and doesn’t stand for a business like this unfortunately. I’m sorry to have to leave this. I hope you guys the best.
A Downtown Gem with Incredible Live Music! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To begin with Joey greeted, seated & served us & it was like meeting up with an old friend. The Walrus is exactly the kind of spot downtown Columbus needs. The atmosphere is always lively and inviting, and they strike a perfect balance between a cozy pub and a serious music venue. I recently caught Joe Waters playing here, and he is absolutely a must-see. His performance was phenomenal—he commands the stage and brings a fantastic mix of blues, funk, and folk that completely elevates the night. The fact that they feature such high-caliber, award-winning talent with no cover charge is amazing. Pair the great music with their excellent draft selection and tasty comfort food (the Cajun pasta is famous for a reason!), and you have a perfect night out. The staff is friendly and fast, even when the place is packed. If you're looking for great live tunes and a guaranteed good time in Columbus, The Walrus is the place to be.
