Nice place to relax with friends. Great sunken outdoor patio with a lot of flowering plants to provide extra privacy from street. Amazing waterfall wall enhances the experience. Food has always been good and they have good happy hour deals on drafts and bottles. Been there many times and service has always been great. Inside seating is also nice.

It’s just a bar with a few TVs for sports. The food isn’t really anything terribly special. The two highlights are their wet potato fries and their Westerville Outdoor patio. When weather is good, they have a beautiful patio covered with flowers and a waterfall wall.

Other Unilocal reviews suggested that service would be slow. However we were greeted, seated and served promptly. The food was good and the wait staff was attentive. We went back later for a drink and dessert and had the same experience.

I have been nothing but disappointed in my experiences here. The food was cold and bland, the service was terrible. I ordered a simple burger and the toppings were incorrect. I literally had to go inside(we were on the porch) to find our waitress after waiting more than 20 minutes for our drinks — and they were not well made. I will not return.

Food was great, small restaurant but worth the wait.

It’s a bar first, food second. It’s dark and smelly. We only eat there when we’re dragged to eat there.

I am a big fan of the Jimmy Vs in Grandview so naturally I was excited to find another location. The food is still good but I was pretty disappointed with the service the two times dining here. I went during lunch and the server was slow and even after asking for checks early, we were still there for over an hour. Refills were also slow. I would recommend the fresh cut fries though!

Very tasty place. Jimmy V’s gets it right when it comes to flavorful food. A few of my favorite dishes from here would be: the chicken gyro(with extra feta and tzatziki sauce), sweet potato fries, Greek salad and the chicken wings. Their happy hour literally makes the people happy! This place seems overcrowded on the weekends, so be prepared to possibly wait for a table. Sometimes they have live music! I think the owner knows some of the Columbus Crew Soccer team, so they’ll occasionally be at the bar! Fun and tasty place all around.

I had the ruben & chips, not the best ruben and not the worst. The best ruben in Columbus is up in New Albany!

Joined a group here for drinks. Wasn’t the best. One person had a bug in their drink. Some were really weak or were too strong. Nothing in the middle that tasted really good. They were high priced, also. May come back to try food.

Nothing special. I don’t understand the attraction to this place. My friends love it. Maybe I’m the weird one.

I’ve only ever stopped in for a beer, but the patio is beautiful and I always enjoy the time I do spend there. Inside is really nice to buy I could see it getting cramped quickly. Healthy tap selection, I’d go five stars but I feel like I should try the menu before going all the way to five.

Panini Italian — 5 stars Panini Philly Cheese — 4 stars(needed sweet peppers a a little more dressing, imo). Table Service — 5+ stars Bar Service — 5 stars Outdoor Patio by the large water feature on a beautiful day — priceless. Finally, a new favorite place to go to since moving out of SW Florida. Goodbye British Open Pub. Hello Jimmy V’s! Next visit, we try something more traditional like the Chicken Lemon Rice Soup and a Gyro!

The food was okay, average sports bar and grill food. Had a terrible experience with the service. Before even walking into the restaurant a server insulted my outfit while hanging out at a table with his friends. Once inside, our actual server walked by our table two or three times seeing our empty drinks and never asked us for refreshed beverages. By the time we finally flagged her down, it was after happy hour(seemed pretty intentional) and she was rude in response to our requests of drink orders. Not the best first impression of the restaurant, despite the good reviews I had heard from friends.

Great service, yummy food. The cold plate appetizer is the best. The turkey melt panini is a plate full of tasty cheesy goodness.

I always have a great time at this bar! I visited Jimmy V’s this past Saturday night and there was live music and a Bön fire outside! I was thrilled. My group was able to a table right away and our waitress came right over to get our drink order. Every waitress I’ve ever had a Jimmy V’s has been super friendly and attentive. There is usually a mixture of young and older adults, which is nice since in Westerville there are hardly any bars that attract a younger crowd. If you are looking for a casual and warm environment to sit down and have a beer, this is it.

Hardly fair to be more than or less than 3-Stars for Jimmy V’s Grill & Pub on Main Street. I mean, one visit for a couple of adult beverages on a chilly winter’s night to talk volunteering with a friend. The establishment seemed like a friendly neighborhood watering hole to me. Parking at 7PM on a Thursday was decent; there were parking lots around the back and, even with snow piled high in winter, I got a spot by circling only once. My partner got one on the street — no problem. There was«live» entertainment, a soloist guitar player who was damn good. Didn’t catch the name but he knew enough to keep the volume low but his sets were very nice. I don’t visit Westerville much but I think JImmy V’s Grill & Pub would get my business if I’m there in the springtime. They poured a good Jameson with rocks & water!

I love this place. The wings, gyros, service and staff are amazing. We love the patio on a nice day. I’m also a browns fan and enjoy hanging out with the browns backers here. Also love that Mario, the owner, is often there and involved with the customers and staff.

Ooh, my 42nd review! Well, in homage to Douglas Adams, I’ll just have to grab a towel and make certain it’s a good one. I’ve only been here twice, but it’s a very nice, cozy little place with one great thing going for it — but I’ll get to that in a second. Second visit, of the today variety, was just a lunch and munch stop by; didn’t even know they served food till I perused some of the reviews, and as a fan of Greek cuisine decided I had ta try it. Went with the sausage/feta gyro, sans the peppers. Sausage and feta were both solid, well cooked, good ratios and consistency, though the pita was just okay. Service was fantastical; stopped by repeatedly to water me; my sister says I am what is commonly referred to as a «guzzler.» Especially post gym, I seem to absorb water more than drink it. ANYwho, as I said, great service, solid food. Nice seating, ring of booths with some tabling in the middle, nice little bar area, tellies abounding throughout, both above the bar and around about the eating area. There seems to be a nice outdoor eating area, though per usual I avoided that like the clap(thanks, Jimmy Dugan). First visit was of the adult beverage variety with a couple of friends. Prices are fine, not overly loud, good lighting(dim but not overly), generally good ambiance for conversations and consumption. As to the real treat — I have it on good authority that if you exit via the back door, make an immediate left, just a few paces away you’ll find a very nice, very climbable tree. Great little spot for an inebriated, romantical conversation with a lady friend(or guy friend, whichever floats your goat). All in all, both for barsical and foodalary visits, this is a nice little haunt. I intend on trying more of the menu over time, and giving that tree another climb or two.

Pleasant surprise. Driven by for years — well, since it opened and thought nothing of it. Last night my sweetheart suggested Jimmy V’s for a quick dinner bite. We hit the one by the zoo a few weeks ago for a beer — what’s the harm? It was to die for… mushroom burger with onion rings made medium ROCKED! The burger was as big as your head. the onion rings were super spicy with just enough breading to make it amazing. Not over not under and not greasy! Greek salad was ok — stick with more bar food if you see what I’m saying. We always split our entrees so it was a good balance. For 5 pm on a Sunday the place was busy. Took a few min for us to get waited on at the bar but with how busy it was that was understood. The staff transition was smooth and not smothering — our original bartender advised they were swapping shifts and did we want to cash out? This was asked AFTER the new bartender on staff checked in on us to make sure we were OK. Definitely don’t drive by and not give this place a second thought… the service was good, on top of things, food was AWESOME and beer was cold. We will be back!
