I met two of my friends here for drinks and a late dinner on a Saturday night and it was a great atmosphere for a guys night. If you know how the wait staff dresses, you will understand that this is a guys' bar. I would not take my wife, nor my children here. Apparently, some people do. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. We had a waitress named Anna that did a great job of making sure we enjoyed ourselves, our beer, and our food. Good service goes a long way, but the outfits don't hurt either! Lots of craft beers on draft, but also a wide beer selection in general. I ordered the black bean rollup and they also have a black bean burger (vegetarian). My rollup and the fries were really good, but the rollup was spicier than I expected. I think I drank about 5 glasses of water along with my beers. My friends both ordered something different and both enjoyed their meals as well. I would recommend this place for a night out with the guys, whether you're getting dinner, watching the game, or just want a fun atmosphere with beautiful women serving you.

Amazing food...not that most people come there for the food anyway :P This place beats Hooters, hands down. Every single waitress here is gorgeous. They serve you well, are amazingly personable and often sit down to talk with you (weekdays when I go - this may be different during peak hours). I am sad this is the only Kilt in Columbus, as I have to drive almost a half hour to get here. But I'm more than wiling to do it. Any franchisees willing to open one in the Hilliard or Dublin area? :)

I just wasn't too impressed with this place at all. The wait staff was nice, but it just felt awkward making conversation with them. The beer selection was pretty good, but I felt the beer was a little overpriced. I will say that it was cool that they had 1/2 price appetizers on a Saturday night. I got the Spinach-Artichoke dip, which was fine but nothing special. I also finished it and had a ton of chips left. My friends got the garlic fries, which were very tasty, and at $2.00 (when they're half off)...that's a very good value! Other than that, there just isn't much that would make me want to come back here.

No really, come for the FOOD ;) I admit I came to see if girls were really wearing little skirts and short shirts with cleavage. To my surprise the food was very good. First time I went I had the bacon cheeseburger. I was a very quality burger, almost as good as my favorite Red Robin Burger. The second time around I had wings. these were also flavorful and a good portion size. The sweet potato fries are just awesome. Tvs are everywhere and best part of all they show UFC ppv events! I will definitely go again, FOR THE FOOD!

Overpriced and not great taste!

There is nothing worse than working hard for the man all day long, dealing with the sausage fest at work and at my clients due to being employed in a technologically advanced field, and then going out to dinner and having some dude stand over my shoulder serving my food and drinks to me with their "I should be an investment banker not a server" attitude and having to look at his ugly unshaven hipster face while trying to relax, unwind, and get a bite of food. If this is your lot in life then the Tilted Kilt is your answer. Insecure girls should avoid this establishment and skip reviewing...we understand you are threatened by any woman who gets more attention than you and since you're obviously not working here, there is no point for you to go to this restaurant, if you do there is no reason to complain on Yelp that the men at your table forgot your existed during the dining period. You have been warned. With that being said I don't understand all the hate towards the Kilt. It is obviously one of the most popular restaurants in town why else would you need to wait an hour or two for a table during dinner hours every night of the week? The suits from Chase Bank behind the Kilt tend to fill it up during the lunch hour so if you're going for lunch, like dinner, go early if you want a seat. Obviously the crowding makes this place a bad choice if you're going to walk in with a group of 10 at 7pm and expect a seat before 9pm. COME EARLY! I'll admit, I never ever went to Hooters for the food...it sucks...the wings are small, terrible, and expensive and everything on the menu is overpriced and tastes like it came from a vending machine. Unlike Hooters the food at The Tilted Kilt is actually very good, and well priced, not to mention their menu is about 4x the size of Hooters. On top of that the cast members outfits make the Hooter's girl outfits seem somewhat conservative...so this can be good or bad depending on your views, marital status, or manliness. The drunken clams on the appetizer menu were awesome and very plentiful and fairly cheap. The wings here are cooked perfect, the sauce is great, and you get a lot--they are better than Hooters or BW's wings but Hoggy's wings still reign supreme in Columbus. As far as entrees go, the Sloppy Jane is pretty good and very Irish tasting. The fries here are excellent, similar in size to McDonalds but more flavor. My wife loved the Shepherd's Pie, said it was one of the best she's had anywhere. The Fish and Chips are extremely good too ranking up there with the Rusty Bucket. Fat Bastard's Meatloaf sandwich was okay, but lacked flavor, Northstar has a better meatloaf sandwich. My kids loved the pizza, not bad for an Irish restaurant but not as good as you can get at Papa Johns or Planks or your other favorite pizza restaurant. I look forward to trying more items on the menu. The service here is top notch, most of the girls are very young and intelligent young ladies just trying to make it through life with what they've been dealt. Many of them are in school paying for their education on their own, some of them working more than one job in our community to support themselves and their children. I commend them on taking advantage of their natural beauty to get ahead in life without giving into the sleaziness and other negative aspects associated with stripping--this should be respected that they didn't take the easy route for more money as not every girl is born into a wealthy family where they can be a hipster with a trust fund, some have to bust their ass to get by so while these girls are scantily clad, be respectful as if it were your sister or friend. The drinks at the bar are priced very well, probably some of the cheapest at Polaris. Add in all the HDTV's and you've got yourself and awesome sports bar. The music is loud but not loud enough to where it is obnoxious. I enjoy the Tilted Kilt and there's no reason you can't either, give it a try but like I said...it's popular so go early to get seated!

We had dinner there last night! The fish and chips were awesome! And the whiskey beef off the Hoppy Hour menu was so tender! As always, had the Irish nachos. That is a must order! Our server was great and so sweet!
(5)Angela H.
This place is worth a visit for the experience alone. On a Saturday night, the place is easily 80% males there to see the servers dressed up in cute little plaid skirts and belly-baring shirts. There's also a ton of TVs around which makes this place great to watch sports. Try to get a table away from the kitchen unless you really enjoy the smell of sauerkraut. It was overpowering. Other than that, the food is good, beer is good, service is interesting, but it gets really really busy and loud most nights.
(3)Robert M.
I can see why the Hooters next door went out of business. The food here is great! The waitresses are exceptional. I guess plaid won over orange.
(5)Ryan D.
I'm not sure what more to say other than, AWESOME! Food was excellent beyond my expectations, I had the boneless wings which had the best tangy buffalo sauce I have tasted in years! We also tried some sort of cabbage egg roll looking appetizers and they were just excellent as well! The service was amazing and they have a full bar with an excellent selection. The scenery is also a good reason to visit as well, there is always something to look at while your at the tilted kilt! I can't recommend this place enough, go eat there. Hopefully they will keep the level of service going!
(5)Brandon B.
Okay, I will skip the obvious reasons as to why I love this place and get to what seriously actually does matter and that's good food and service. I personally don't have a complaint. I like the food. I also like the drinks here, especially their own speciality mixed drinks. Yes it can be a little expensive and I only received terribly slow service ONE time but everyone was extremely apologetic and nice about it. Hey stuff happens and if you recognize and own it, you're forgiven. There's a good mix of traditional American food as well as some native Scottish/Irish dishes both traditional and with an American twist. In summary, I wouldn't plan on spending hours here drinking and looking at boobs or you will regret the final bill more than a night out at an actual strip club BUT it's great for dinner and a drink with some plaid puppies on the side.

Absolutely loved the Tilted Kilt. My best friend and I walked in on a Wednesday to a nearly empty restaurant. We were seated and promptly greeted by a bubbly young and beautiful server named Alli. She was so genuinely personable and kind. Alli offered great drink and menu suggestions, all of which were spot on for what we had in mind. We were nearly the only women in the entire restaurant with the exception of the staff. We drank Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale on draught, which was delcious and had hot pretzels with warm beer cheese dip. The sandwiches we had were HUGE and both my friend and I took half of ours home. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, lots of Celtic memorabilia with tons of different sports team apparel too. There's a "juke box" with a wide variety of music. A huge bar with tons of draught and bottle beer options. Lots of delicious liquor, including an obvious favorite Jameson. All around awesome experience because of the atmosphere and our awesome server, Alli. Our trip to the Kilt was very much worth the hour and a half trip. Can't wait to go back again.
(5)Brian F.
Horrible music, waitresses dressed like strippers, huge televisions. This Bloody Mary should not be this colour. What's not to love?
(1)Chris D.
I live in NY, but moved to Columbus and we don't have any places like this at all. It puts hooters to shame if you're looking for that kind of "eye candy." They wear really short skirts (kilts) and not much on top. A short white top and push up bra is what all the servers, who are all females are wearing. The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was prepared very nicely and to my liking. The tap beer was at a great temperature and the appetizers were done well too. Just good bar food.
(4)Bill M.
Only been there once so far, but the first time was good. We decided to finally try this place after a promotion with the Columbus Curling Club (search for that here on yelp) NIce place, it might be cliche to say its a high class hooters, but I know I've heard it said. Service was good, nice clean place - I had the meatloaf sandwich that came with a very good Guiness BBQ sauce and my wife had Fish and Chips. Cost was modeerate, but in line with others. We will go back and try more stuff. The menu was huge.

My Sunday afternoon travels 'round Columbus' outerbelt found me driving into the Polaris Fashion Mall area. After a short walk-about in Best Buy (does anyone else find today's tech to be boring?), I fired up the Chevy and road over to Sancus Road. Claddaugh? Nope, I was lured to the infamous plaid skirt kingdom of Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery. My first reaction was one of surprise. The restaurant has a nice layout and is very large. Big dining room area with plentiful HDTV service all around. The centrally located bar area is a biggie, too, and is a big rectangular place to sit so you're facing patrons on the other side, something I always find nice (but plenty of distance 'cross the bartender's domain). And there is a smaller dining area to compliment overall presentation. Bathroom review. The MEN's was clean, spacious and sink areas spotless. I find bathrooms are always a reflection on management so good on yah mate for having a clean oasis. Sitting at the bar I was greeted by Kristin who was very pleasant and helpful. The menu was standard pub food listing burgers as the mainstay and partnered with flatbread pizza. Their specials were focused on the pizzas - different combos of meats, cheeses and veggies. I asked for for the Tilted Kilt large garden salad with grilled chicken breast (not listed on the menu for the standard salad) and Kristin was happy to oblige. I like any restaurant that does the little things. Again, HDTVs were everywhere. The servers' garb - not much of a distraction even with short skirties and white blouses tide midriff. Less "in your face" than Hooters and their presentations. So I got past that portion of the Tilted Kilt's reputation pretty fast. All else was good. I would meet friends, guys & gals, at the Tilted Kilt for sports on TV and some drafts. Sure would.

REVIEW OF MY FANTASY DRAFT THAT WE DID ON 8-23-2013 We arrived and were shown to our area where tables had been reserved for us. We also were given a 12 team draft board despite our team being 16 teams so the board was not able to be used. After being shown to our area we were asked if we wanted anything to drink and then the waitress left and we did not see her again for about 20 minutes. In the meantime I was stressed out because I didn't know how we were going to plug in our laptops as the tables given to us were not near an outlet. I asked the hostess to get John, the GM, and was told he was busy but they would see if they could find him. After waiting about another 10 minutes or so I took matters into my own hands and moved all the back room tables all over the place to setup our tables near the only outlet I could find in the back room. At about 8:15pm we finally got our drinks and I asked where our server was that had been assigned to us. After a few minutes I was told she was not coming in and that the waitress who had served us when we arrived would be our server. As people began to arrive I realized that we would need more outlets so I asked our server for an extension cord with a power cord. She said she wasn't sure if they had one or not and then she disappeared and never came back. Many of the people in our party could not utilize the wi-fi, the signal was too weak. I had them instead use my phones 4G connection. We spent nearly the full 30 minutes before the draft scrambling to get connectivity. I have eaten at the restaurant many times and the wi-fi is good but this is the first time being in the back room so I suspect you may need a repeater for your wi-fi to better extend the signal back there. But getting back to our service, throughout the night our service was not terrible but was also not all that great either. Sometimes just when I was about to get angry that we had not seen our waitress in a long time she would appear so it was fairly borderline. My nephew also ordered boneless wings and they were forgotten when the food came out, he told the waitress and it took about another 30 minutes to get his wings (for a total of about an hour wait). I recall being told we would have our own server and she would just be waiting on us and that was definitely not the case. And it wasn't because we didn't have a big enough party either, we ended up having 9 people show up for the draft. I will say though that aside from my nephews experience we all got served the right food after we ordered it and the food was really good tasting in my experience and there were no complaints about any of the food that I know of. If you recall I had asked John to come out at the start of the draft. I'm not criticizing John here as maybe he never got the message but not once throughout the night did he or anyone else come out to check on how things were going or to welcome us for having our draft party there. All in all things weren't going too terribly bad, although I wasn't exactly happy with the service or how the pre-draft setup went...but then the checks came. The only discount applied on anyones check was half off boneless wings for my nephew. I had gotten regular wings and was charged full price. There was no discernible discount on the beer either. None of our appetizers were discounted. I asked others to look at their bills and some just paid and left despite them telling me they got no discounts. I was not happy and asked why I had not received 50% off my wings. I was told that discount was only for boneless wings. That was simply not true as when we placed our reservation Tilted Kilt I don't believe even had boneless wings. I argued for a bit with the waitress and told her the beer was also incorrectly showing on the bill. I was told we would have $2 Miller Lite drafts and I had 3 beers but yet I was showing $9 total, not $6. The waitress commented that she would get John. John came out and told us we were getting a price break on the beer, that it had been $4.50 and had been marked down recently to $3. Even so, if they had been marked down to $3 that was the regular price for everyone, we weren't gettin any discount. And I knew that was no correct as Tilted Kilt, I don't believe anyways, charges $4.50 for a regular Miller Lite (the regular glass, NOT the tall boy glass). Every bar I've been to has the tall boy draft beer for $4.50. I told John I simply was not paying that and that I was very unhappy and after a bit of going back and forth he agreed to honor the price for me. In conclusion Tilted Kilt needs to do like BW3's and offer a dedicated waitress, provide support for setup and honor their pre-draft promises on specials. Also, we shouldn't have had to ask for the MPV cards and never got our trophy either.
(2)Kel S.
Food was mediocre. Great beer selection. Do not get the Gaelic chicken, it was so horribly over sauced. It was more a soup.
(3)Kelsie P.
Cool atmosphere, sat outside and they had a nice patio. We got a couple appetizers. Food was what you'd expect, good bar food. Service was perfect. Our server sammy (not sure how she spelled it) was quick and attentive and really friendly.
(5)Heather G.
Fish and chips was excellent, but do not order the shepherd's pie. The pie was all potatoes on the bottom, dry beef and no gravy with crunchy carrots.
(3)Chris V.
Quite possibly the worst nachos on the face of the earth....comparable to a walking taco at the local high school concession stand. Not sure what was worse...the burnt smell or the boxed cheese! 2 dudes behind the bar at a Tilted Kilt??? Skip this place...
(1)Kristen N.
With all the Polaris lunch spots, why are we waiting 45 minutes for a table on a Friday at 2 pm?? Oh . . . little plaid skirts. OK I get it. I checked out the Tilted Kilt for the first time the other day for a late lunch and was surprised by how busy the place was on a weekday. Luckily most of my party arrived before me and did most of the waiting on their own. It seemed like lots of tables were clearing out but no one was seating us. Eventually we drunkenly pulled 3 tables together in some T shaped fashion and settled in for some long overdue nourishment. The waitresses were, as promised, wearing plaid skirts and bra tops with a short white top tied under the rib cage (think Brittney Spears pre-Kfed/emotional breakdown/shaved head). They were nice and polite, as scantily dressed women who rely on tips to pay their rent should be, but I was a little disappointed that many of the women looked like clones of MK and Ashley Olsen ( i.e. very little hips or curves) I would have liked to see a few more shapely ladies to fill out the costumes. I remember the food being 5 star but mostly because I was freakin' starving. We started with the calamari which was really well cooked and properly breaded but it was served with marinara sauce and I generally prefer it a little more modern with a lemon aoli. I would definitely order it again though. I then followed up the fried squid with a big ol medium rare cheeseburger and fries. This hit the spot and the burger was pink and cooked perfectly. Certainly most of the crowd were men but women should not feel weird about eating here. There also seemed to be a lot of TV's around so I'd think this would be a nice place to watch sports too. The menu had a few other things I'd probably like to try and if the Tilted Kilt provides a couple more satisfactory dining experiences I will probably up my rating to 4 stars. At this point though, plaid skirts, good burger and mediocre beer is just A-OK.
(3)Nate N.
Came here for a work function, and Monday night football. Waitresses were good, beer selection was good and the food was very good. There are huge TVs everywhere, so there is always something to look at. Newer place, so it is pretty clean. You pay a little bit for the scenery, but is fairly priced. Come EAT & ENJOY. Worth the time and effort for a sports bar guy/girl.
(4)Keith B.
Holy titties mcgee! Just kidding. I've been here a few times, and what I've noticed: it doesn't matter if it's slow, the table service sucks. The food is varying on a level from "OMG WOW DELISH" (the fried sausage sandwich thing) to "I paid for this?" (a wrap I ordered). What I've determined is I no longer waste time sitting at a table (I've only been here solo, oddly enough) - and only sit at the bar. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and every time I go it seems everyone avoids the bar like the plague. The staff seems so all over the map, though, but the bartenders at lunch/early evening have been consistently good.
(4)Michelle S.
Many ladies on these review posts make it sound HORRIBLE as if men are in there to get laid and sexually harass every female in the rstaurant....and many men on here exagerrate as if it's the play boy mansion with dime models. It's NONE of that. It's a restaurant with okay food, sports on TV, and girls showing some skin. The skirt isn'tthat short so it's not like their ass is showing although many men probably wish it was lol. Honestly, the waitresses looked AVERAGE at best. There was about one girl that was pretty attractive and her boobs were distracting because they were so big and pushed up lol, I'm not a lesbian but it's right there and it's hard to not notice. But yeah, it's not as terrible as you'd think. People seem to concentrate on their food, the TV, and talk. You see a lot of men but I don't see many of them acting like dogs. There are also a good handful of ladies in the restaurant too that are dining in. People keep saying it has more class than Hooters...but I don't see too much of a difference. I ordered the barbecue pulled pork, it was alright. My bf ordered the burger, just okay. The french fries were really good though cuz I liked the garlic seasoning.
(3)Teri D.
A sports bar Hooters with kilts on instead. We decided to give it a go and well.......we came we ate we ain't going back in all probability. We were seated and waited and waited till we hailed a passing bloke in a kilt and asked him who was our server and where might they be? Turned out she was outside on the patio taking an extended break and didn't even know she had "customers" . Hubs had fish tacos which weren't too bad and I had a side salad to go along with my fish and chips. Ok, first time in my life I've had square fish with fish and chips! They looked liked Mrs. Paul's frozen fish fillets that had been dunked in batter and fried up. C'mon!!! I suppose if you want a brew while watching a game this is an ok spot. I guess.
(2)Stephanie B.
I know I'm a woman who is reviewing this place but I'm not here to talk about how these waitresses are dressed: I want to talk about the TERRIBLE SERVICE. My two friends and I went there and were told we had to wait a minute for them to clean off a table. Okay, this place wasn't even that packed. Finally we were seated and we were literally sitting there for ten minutes and NO ONE came to ask us for drink orders or to even acknowledge we were there. I understand these waitresses probably get the majority of their tips from men but seriously. We were there to eat and drink a few beers which would have resulted in a good tip even though we are women. We walked out after realizing no one was going to come serve us and one of the waitresses asked us if we were leaving and when we said yes because no one would serve us she said "oh sorry." Where was the manager? Why didn't anyone try to stop us? I'm sorry that's just bad service and I will definitely not be coming back. If you're looking for a good pub, definitely check out Polaris Pub because it's close by and the food is probably ten times better.
(1)Daniel N.
It is what it is. This place is a bit more intense than a Hooters as far as attire, but the waitresses were much less pushy and in your face, so that may be good or bad based on your preference. The beer selection was great, and lots of food choices as well.
(3)Steven G.
Unfortunately I didn't have good service on this Tuesday afternoon. Although the place was fairly empty, my server didn't show up for about 10 minutes before she took my drink order. She seemed a little scatterbrained to say the least. No amount of bare midriffs, cleavage, or short skirts can make up for poor service. My Southwest chicken wrap was adequate, but the tabasco on my table was empty. And getting another bottle took another several minutes. If you go for the waitress eye candy, the hostess was the best of the bunch. Overall, a mediocre experience to say the least. I hope others around the country are a notch above this one.
(2)Mel S.
We went to the Tilted Kilt to watch the OSU v. Michigan game. We have been to many bars around Columbus to watch the OSU football and for the most part, service has always been horrible. On Saturday, we had a table of about 14 people and our server was Alex. The service was not only the best we have ever had on a game day, but our server made it even more fun. To top it off, they have good bar food and great drinks. You can also sit anywhere and see a TV. We will definitely be back again!
(5)Liz M.
So, Tilted Kilt would have gotten 3 stars from me until we got our bill and I saw I was charged and not told I'd be charged for being given a 'taste' of a draught beer. Beware, it is 50 cents for a taste! I've never heard of such a thing, unless you're at a beer tasting and you pay for that. Otherwise, it was packed full for the Buckeye game last Saturday and we had a table of about 15, which two girls handled very well. Never were we neglected and all needs were met with a smile. The girls are eager to keep beer after beer coming. Probably because they are priced at the top of the range for beer at a restaurant/bar $4.75-$6 range from what I can tell. $4.75 Newcastle-$6 black and tan. We ordered the TK Irish Nachos, which were potato chips with cheese sauce beef and tomatoes that was over all funky tasting from the strange cheese sauce that went without description in the menu. The chips were great. Get a basket of those for $2.99 vs. $6.99 for the weird nachos. Others at the table enjoyed entrees and apps, a cheesy chicken dish looked tasty. Overall it was a fun atmosphere. Everyone was having a good time, and that's what it comes down to. I wouldn't suggest coming here because there are a lot of bars with cheaper beer and better food (4st St. Patio, Easton Sports Club), but I wouldn't put up a fight if my friends invited me again. I just will never get a 'taste' of a beer again.
(2)Mike T.
This place is really a lot of fun to go to. It's loud and there is usually a wait but the food is pretty decent, the beer is pretty decent and the atmosphere is also pretty decent. I did not realize that this place was going to have as many TVs as it did with lots of sports games running, so that was a pleasant surprise. In fact, this bar would be a really great spot to go to if you want to go just for a game or two as their food is above average bar food. I had the corned beef and cabbage and I would definitely have that again the next time I go back. They have Murphy's stout, along with all of the other Irish beer staples but I usually stop looking at what a place has to drink once I see Murphy's stout. It's not on draft but finding Murphy's stout on draft anywhere that's not in New England is a rarity. The server we had was quite good and attentive. They all wear the same outfit that makes bikini's seem conservative but I was totally fine with that. That element isn't the most family friendly element but you're probably not taking your kids to a sports bar with boob servers either. All in all, It's worth going to on a routine basis if you live out there.
(4)Jen F.
Terrible staff! Sat at the table for over 10 min and not one of the 4 servers who walked by multiple times bother to stop or even smile ! Awful! Can't comment on the food because I'm still hungry!!
(1)Jessica H.
The uniforms are cute. I'd wear it in private for my man. As an ex-beer "brand" girl... I get it. But kind of felt the total exposure went from pushing the boundaries of fun to just a little too much around food. I have to wonder too, if there isn't some sort of OSHA or FDA health code violation with the open-toed/high heels shoes and exposed skin. Or EEOC. It just makes it dangerous and hard to work in hospitality/food service. Bar "maids" are quick and efficient. I think they could handle the crowd. The wait staff, well, let's just say we saw one sitting on some guy's lap... and for a long period of time.. not just as a joke and flirt. And a little movement. Um. Eww. The food was bleh. Nothing to write home about. Overly greasy, overly priced. Nothing unique or creative. Good craft brew selection on tap. (What I don't get is why guys attend a sausage fest with such a low eye candy to sweaty-men-packed-like-sardines-and-sitting-too-Âclose-for-comfort ratio) I was one of two women in the entire place. I get it, I get the purpose... I get the novelty. But on several factors, ew.
(1)Mike C.
Got taken here for a guys night out type thing. Won't go back if I have a choice. Let us address the 800lb gorilla in the room. There are hot girls wearing kilts here. Yes you can look at their stomach and butt and legs. Sometimes you might catch a little cleavage. However, I call them girls for a reason. I'm not sure there was any one server over the age of (very) early twenties and by my guess, a few dipped in to the teens. This is a little creepy, at least for the early 30 something crowd I was with. Yeah I understand the appeal it's just not for me. We get assigned a perky young girl who was more than a little late at taking our drink order. What about the service from our attractive young lass? I had some complaints, some her fault some not, but the most egregious one was that she knew nothing about the beer offerings from the bar. I asked for the list and at one point she mentions there is an IPA, which I ask for. What she comes back with is some kind of murky wheat ale that couldn't be farther from an IPA. I have her take it back and get me the IPA. Again she returns with the wheat. She tries once more and my heart sinks as I see the cloudy pale drink on her tray. She gives up and has us walk to the bar and point out what we want. Turns out there is no IPA, the keg was kicked long ago. We point and grunt like cavemen some beer that we want and finally get something drinkable. Fast forward to the food and it was actually good. A total saving grace from the dreaded 1 star review. My cheese steak was melty and delicious. My friend's shepherd's pie tasted great, although hard to eat due to the large cast iron pot it was served in.

The short version: like Hooters but with better food and cuter girls. Neither is the kind of place I go often, but some friends wanted to go here so we tried it out. The service was good, and all the servers were attractive. Between them and the multiple TVs you'll always have something to watch. The music was a bit loud but not so bad you couldn't hear conversations. The food was decent. I got the chili- thick, but bland. Calamari: properly cooked, not chewy, but underseasoned. A little salt and pepper, at least, would help. The marinara sauce was bland too; at least there was a bottle of hot sauce on the table to kick it up. Others at the table got burgers and salads, and said they were good. Couldn't sample the beer selection because I was on the way to work, but they had a few things that were tempting.

Today I ate lunch at with two friends, Cliff and Kathy at The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery on Polaris. This was my second visit to the Kilt, having eaten there one time previously with Cliff. On the first visit several weeks ago Cliff and I both had wings with Kilburn Sauce and fell in love with them. Today's visit I ordered the Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Cliff ordered the Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips Kathy ordered the Danny Boy Shepherds Pie I asked for a side of their signatory Kilburn sauce to use as a dip for my fries, Cliff asked to try the Kilburn Mayo, (Both our requests were accommodated.) In the interests of a fair and balanced review the three of us each sampled one another s dishes. Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Fries were fresh and crispy, the Cheese Steak was mediocre. The side of Kilburn sauce was a nice addition. Overall verdict Average. Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips When the dish first came out, we were alarmed at the seemingly small size of the portion. Upon complaining to the waitress, Cliff was given another three pieces of the fish for an additional $3.00. The flavor and freshness of the fish more than compensated for the initial shock we had over portion size. The batter was crispy and fresh and the fish was light and flaky the way good fish should be. Overall Verdict Excellent, Tasty but Small Portion Danny Boy Shepherds Pie A tasty and satisfying rendition of traditional Shepherds pie, somewhat peppery which suited me although unusually Cliff found it slightly over peppered. The dish was made simple and fresh as it should of been without over complicating the flavors. A solid choice for the meat and potato fanatic. Overall verdict Good depending on palette. The Waitress was kind enough to give us some Kilburn sauce to go after we asked if it was available for sale. unfortunately the sauce is not sold as a to go item.

Beer n food way over priced.... Staff not friendly, management even less friendly. Owners made huge profit first 1.5 years, now do not care about customers. Sad, they will close in 1 to 2 years because of poor customer service. Very sad..

Stopped in for a late lunch. Katie was great and helped a first timer pick out the perfect food and drink for a hot day. I've heard some refer to this as hooters-esque and I couldn't disagree more. I didn't feel like this place was selling "sexy." The food was quite good and everyone we spoke with, employee and patron was very friendly. Isn't that what you want in a pub atmosphere?
(4)Mike D.
You know Hooter's? Yeah, it's Hooter's. Don't be shocked by the skimpy outfits, high heels, and suggestive manner of (some of) the waitstaff. There, now you know what you're getting into. They have a basic pub/grill menu, burgers and sandwiches of various sorts. I had a burger and it was pretty good for the price. The garlic fries weren't worth trying. It's definitely not somewhere I'd put into my regular rotation of restaurants (hey, I've been to Hooter's a grand total of one, too, but didn't even like the food), but if someone wanted to go I wouldn't be against it.

After a few people we know convinced us this place wasnt as slutty as it seems we gave it a shot. Lunch hour, no one was there. Ok..a bit akward. A few older creepy men were there and some -not so attractive- waitress sporting the skimpy mini and rolled-into-their-bra white shirt. Granted, this outfit is amazingly sexy on the right girl, but HORRIBLE on the wrong ones. These girls just looked like crack whores in training. Really nice though, I feel bad voicing my opinion on this one. We told her we never been there before and she sat down next to my husband and leaned in and read the menu to him. I felt so bad for him. The poor man kept looking at me with this pained expression like 'is this ok...why the 'f' is she doing this?! How do I get her to stand up?!" I just laughed. It was too amusing to just sit there and ignore him. The waitress was a bit confused, but since I didn't look her in the eyes once the whole night I couldn't care less. In my opinion, if you wear the outfit of a slut then you are a slut. It's like a guy wearing a cop uniform but not being a cop. Despite the awkward staff uniforms and our wonderful time checking the girls out to laugh at them & come up with retarded reasons for why they might have chosen to work at a place like this we were reminded (a friend of ours who recommended this place to us) that this place is cultural....not skanky. SO I digress. (Back East no one buy snot noised old men would go here to gawk) The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really tasty! The burger came out how I asked for it and the waitress was attentive to us. The sweet baby rays bbq sauce is what i use at home but it was infused with guniess which was a nice treat! Jalepeno inferno burger was ok. white chocolate and mac nut cookie w/ ice cream was 'nomnomnom' gone in 5 mins. So to wrap it up...skankier outfit make good conversation. I couldn't look them in the eyes I was so awkward. (this coming from a girl who went to Hooters all the time back home) but the food was very very good and the staff is really nice. Too bad they had to ruin the outfits with girls who couldn't fill them out better. I just hate the types of people this kind of place brings. I cant speak for Columbus but back home no one but creeps would go a place like this. At least this place seemed 'ok'
(3)Joseph W.
This was my first time eating here and the food was fantastic. My visit with and service from Maria was a good as it gets. I was waiting for someone and they ended up being at another table. lol Maria was also very gracious too. Mr. Butch
(5)Rachel N Erik F.
NOPE! Came here two nights in a row. First night had horrible service at the rail section. Came back the next night for college football and the service was pretty good. Until the servers changed. Meika was good however, Jen was awful! Checked on us twice in an hour. Even worse though, NONE of the other staff checked on us. Walked right by as if we weren't there. I held up both empty glasses and nothing! Tilted Kilt you have lost my patronage. Not my fault, I was very open to reason but you blew it. NEVER GOING TO ANOTHER ONE, EVER...
(1)Brad S.
So, wifey and I went here yesterday on a whim expecting some Hooters knockoff and we were ecstatic that this place didn't meet those expectations in any way shape or form. Tilted Kilt blows Hooters out of the water and may become one of my favorite sports bars in Columbus. It lacks the chintzy/trashy feel of Hooters and the stuffiness/pretentiousness of Claddagh and lifts its kilt and gives both of those places a taunting wiggle. I was shocked at how good the wings were - I ordered them "grilled" and with the hottest sauce they offered (not really that hot at all, but really, really tasty) - I had never had grilled wings before and they were a nice change of pace from the breaded monstrosities at Roosters and the teeny-tiny coated-in-shellac "wings" at B-Dubs. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, which was giant and came loaded with cole slaw. The price is right, too - I got about 8 giant wings with an ample helping of fries for a total of $9.99. At B-Dubs, wings alone cost $8.50 (for 12, which equals about 8 Tilted Kilt-sized wings), plus if you want a side like fries or buffalo chips or potato wedges, you can easily drop another $4 (if you want cheese). Other menu offerings included appetizers like nachos and cheese fries, and entrees like burgers, pizzas, and wraps. The food really is phenomenal - several steps above your average bar fare. The service was great for how busy they were for NFL Sunday - our server was very cute and very talkative, but not annoyingly so. (At least she didn't sit down at the table with us like she did at the dude-filled table next to us. A liiiittle awkward.) I'm kind of baffled that other reviewers think too much skin is on display here - it's basically like a high school Halloween party. I saw a lot of tramp stamps and a flash of two of cleavage, but mostly bare midriffs, which you see on any trip to any mall between the months of May and September. The restaurant itself is pretty standard appearance-wise - some "Irish" touches here and there (like various flags and dark wood finishes), but the draw is the TVs - more TVs than you can comprehend, really - and there's also a couple giant projection screens. The bar area is really cool and has a couple "outlier" areas that are still technically part of the bar - so you can still feel like you're sitting at the bar without rubbing elbows with the 350-pound dude squeezed into a Barry Sanders jersey from 1988 that he last fit into when he was 14. Beer selection isn't anything to write home about - mostly domestics on tap, with seasonal Bell's and Great Lakes offerings - but I'm sure you'll manage to find something palatable. Give it a shot - it's a good time, and it's not just for dudes. There were several females in here yesterday, and a lot of families with young'uns, too. (I also noticed that they show live UFC events, so my going-to-Bdubs ritual for the fights may have come to an end.)
(4)Jen S.
Went in on a Sunday afternoon for a few pints and I will certainly not return. The beer selection is not great and the bartender did not know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness. If you can't pour it right, don't bother serving it. This is not really a pub, more an overly themed sports bar with crappy service provided by rude and ridiculously unprofessional servers. Don't get me wrong, I will happily chit chat with the servers and bartenders, but I don't need to hear all of your personal drama about your divorces, failed relationships and how you wish you could just find someone to take care of you. Sorry, I came in to relax, not to have to listen to that crap. If you want a good tip, do a good job. We were in such a rush to get out there, we only ate an order of fries and went elsewhere to finish our afternoon out. I would suggest any of the other pubs in the area over this place for sure. I know the appeal of this place is supposed to be the ladies, but from my husband and I saw that day, they are not so picky as they were when they first opened from what I have heard.

It's like Applebees, with boobs! A friend and I decided to go here for lunch because one of his friends loves it. By the end of the meal, neither of us knew why. Checkpoints: * Mixed service experience. Our first waitress was pretty cool, but she went on a break and was replaced by a horrible one. We had to get our own drink refills. * Bad food. I had a turkey burger and would have preferred almost anything else. It was the blandest, densest chunk of pressed turkey meat I've ever had. My friend had a chicken sandwich that was nearly as processed. * The number of ho tags was impressive. (Is that not PC? Do we say "tramp stamps" now?) * Cheap. Two huge sandwiches and tons of fries for $20. Not bad. * Decent beer choices. * Those aren't kilts; they're skirts. Summary: If you want boobs, get Cinemax. If you want decent food, go to any of the other restaurants in the area. If you want _both_ and don't care about the quality of either, The Tilted Kilt is your place!
(1)Tatem M.
I'm not one of those girls who feels intimidated by a waitress showing a little skin, and who doesn't like eye candy while they eat? But my visit here was shitty and it had nothing to do with the food. I was approached twice about applying to work there by the bar staff. I don't know if my shirt was too tight, or if they're hard up for help, but I was out with my boss and a business associate from out of town and it was inappropriate. The first time I laughed it off, the second time I wasn't nearly as polite. Those waitresses are working hard for their money, so by all means, tip the hell out of them, but if you're a woman, put on a burlap sack if you don't want to be part of the show. At least the fish and chips were decent. That's what scored the second star.
(2)Jennifer S.
The atmosphere is great for a sports bar (which is what this is) that has a full service bar and diverse menu, however, the food is just average and sort of bland. Not at all traditional scottish or irish fare. The apps are PHENOMENAL!! The wings are fire grilled with just the right amount of char, the drunken clams a welcome option, and the garlic fries were awsome!. Now the entrees were a different story. The Chicken was underseasoned and rather tasteless, the "stew" was basically a beef vegtable soup with mashed potatoes on them. The burgers looked good, but we didn't order those so can't be sure, but I'd venture to say if you stick to the bar food options your pretty well off. Great draft beer selection, including Budweiser which most places don't carry any longer on draft. Service was mediocre, and went here for my birthday so they came out and did their Bday thing (announcement to the restaurant and bring out a fresh baked choc chip cookie with ice cream) which would have been nice at the end of the meal, but they did while we were all on our first round of drinks and hadn't even gotten our appetizers. Servers were clueless and with little personality. Let me say the "stripper" type reviews of the staff attire are totally rude and wrong. Nothing more to see here than some bellies. As a woman I was not uncomfortable with the uniforms, and many familes were here on the evening we went. The female servers wear "uniforms" that are supposed to be flirty kilt girl wear but are more reminiscent of the "catholic school girl" fantasy costume. The male servers do wear more traditional, and knee length, kilts. PLENTY of TVs and not a bad seat in the house, but they tended to play the same games on most of them. All in all an okay experience, but I don't think we'll return, there are just too many other options in the city with better food.
(3)Matt P.
When I first wrote my review, "the Kilt" hadn't been open very long, so there wasn't really a wait and the staff was quite attractive. I've been back a few times since, and it is jam packed for lunch now. That alone has deterred more regular visits, but the service is starting to suffer as well. From my last couple experiences and from reading the other reviews, it seems they have been getting a lot of food orders incorrect and the attention you get from your server is really hit or miss. Of the past two times, I had one chick who practically chilled at our table the whole time and hung out. The other visit, our girl came to get our order, delivered the food, but otherwise never checked on our table. It took forever to even pay the bill cause she never came by. I still think this place is leaps and bounds above Hooters, but it is sliding into mediocrity.
(4)Bruce H.
I stopped here as I was passing thru Columbus. I had never heard of the place, but parking lot was full (useally a good sign), so we stopped and went in. This place was very large with plenty of seating. The waitress were all dressed in kilt's, showing a lot of skin, which I did'nt mind. The service was good and the food was good. I had the black and blue burger, which the "black" part was missing (cajun spice), but it was good. Nothing special about this place except the kilt's. It was clean, good food, and reasonable prices.
(2)Steve S.
What was right: - The very attractive girls in their kilt uniforms is the hook. - Our service was attentive, competent and cheerful. - The remodel is well done. Atmosphere is upscale sports bar. - Dozens of great draft beers served in chilled, clean pints. What can be improved: - My food should have been thrown away. I ordered the Irish dip. The beef was dry, tastless, potentially days old. The serving was skimpy. The bun was stale. The fries were greasy and limp. I didn't have high expectations for good food, but this lunch torpedoed poor. This lunch was mid-week, holiday week when TK had been packed every meal. No reason other than mis-management for having stale and tired ingredients. Recognizing that most patrons will be happy with the girls and the beer, I anticipate Tilted Kilt will continue to draw a full house in spite of my opinion of their food.
(3)Kevin H.
I've been to his bar twice.....but each time was great. They have a limited selection of wing sauces,but the "customer service" more than makes up for it. The staffing at this bar makes me want to get a job in human resources. This is a great place to watch a game, because there is always something entertaining going on. Anyhoo, good draft beer selection. Definitely recommended for a boys night out. But unfortunately the wait is usually a good 45 min.
(4)Paul F.
I had the Irish Stew, which came with a garlic roll and had a lot of corn and celery in it. As far as how it tasted, it was "okay" but not great. The waitresses were not any better than the stew. LOL But I had to try it.
(3)Cindy R.
Went here with a few friends on a Saturday night, and like the stars say, " it's a-ok"..... Nothing stood out here for me; the food was typical sports bar food, beer selection is alright, and yes the girls are in skimpy outfits..... Price wise this place is a bit high, but being near the mall that should be no surprise to anyone.....
(3)Yianni C.
Down to earth good time. If you are a female you would not appreciate what this bar/restaurant has to offer. Instead you would wish instead it's shut down by some type of agency to make it ilegal for something to this caliber. I am not even talking about the girls, the outfits, the decor and the atmosphere that it brings. That is just the cherry and whip cream on top of the ice cream. I was shocked to find out the second best place for wings after Roosters, order them more wet as a friend suggested. The flavor was great for the medium. We ordered 2 lb. The Jalapeno burger was Medium rear as I ordered it. What shocked me the most were the fries with parmesan came out hot next to my burger and very flavorful. From the drinks the Kilt shaker is really the best one there. We all tried a few other ones and we found that one had less alcohol taste. Person next to me got the philly stake sandwich which the waitress suggested and he loved it.The person in front of me got the pizza which was a little dry. They are using a cracker dough which does not go well with sauce but they need to kick up a notch something not so dry. Possibly add slices of tomatoes to mix. Waiteresses were all gain for a joke or two and that is what an experience is. Do not go there for the show, go there for the food and appreciate both. Management is quite talkative and polite and easy to talk to. I do not see any Hooters in here! All six of us were happy we came, we were saying going out the door.
(5)Zak K.
Before this place opened I got an email about it and since then I wanted to try this place out. A friend of mine and his wife went there and they said it was good so I thought I need to go, so I did last night. First off I had the meatloaf sandwich and it was fantastic. It came on a hoagie roll with bbq sauce with onion straws, and fries and was delicious, I would go to this place just for that. Then you have the wait staff which is the main draw of the place, and you can tell by all the guys that are there for that, along with the creepers. Our waitress was very nice and not too pushy: when I walked in the place I thought I would be getting a tableside lap dance and I didn't which was nice. This place is a great place to watch a game, when I was there it was the first night of NFL preseason games and there was an Indians game on as well. They have TVs everywhere and two of the hugest projection TV's I have ever seen. My only complaint would be the beer prices. I had a Coors Light draft and it was $4.50, and my wife asked for a sample of another draft beer and they charged her .50 cents, I have never seen that anywhere. Besides that this place is worth another visit and I would come back. Key things I take from this place. 1 The food was really good. 2 Great place to watch a game. 3 The people watching is amazing 4 The beer is overpriced.
(3)J D.
food was mediocre, beer selection good, but the highlights are the hotties scantily clad, nice use of plaid.
(3)Jason S.
Meh....was busy for nfl draft. Nothing special at all
(3)Jason J.
Essentially Hooters with plaid skirts and midriffs. I think the food is a bit better and more options (not just wings and variants of wings). The place is huge and has a ton of space to watch the game. The talent is always...interesting. Overall a fun spot to watch MNF with a couple buddies.
(4)Ada M.
I have been to Tilted Kilt a few different times, a few times on a Tuesday and the once on a Wednesday - all around the 8:00-11:00pm time frame. Each time it was much busier than I had anticipated. The bar experience is much different than the table experience so I'll write through each piece separately. The bar has some very talented (and very good looking) bartenders. An amazing draft selection, I marveled at trying to identify all the different types of beer. All of the bartenders are clearly experienced bartenders and very friendly although admittedly, the girls were definitely working their swagger with the men that they clearly thought would be better tippers than myself. It was actually quite hilarious to watch the girls flirt their stuff and lean over "just so" that it almost seemed like soft porn and only got irritated when I felt her flirting meant ignoring me. I ordered their wings which were nothing special but tasty enough. All in all, I liked sitting at the bar and the overload of channels to watch while mingling with both travelers for JP Morgan and locals. The time I sat at a table, I had to wait about 15 minutes for something to open up which was nice since the hostess had given us an upwards of 30 minutes to wait. Our server was nice, but rode the fine line between assertiveness and agressiveness. I ordered a simple Guinness and got the drunken clam as an appetizer. For the price, there was surprisingly a lot more clams than I expected and they were quite tasty. I ordered the Fish and Chips with veggies substituted for the Chips. This time, I was surprised again with what I got for the price only in the negative effect. The fish fillets looked only slightly larger than chicken nuggets and the veggies were drowning in oil and soggy. My date ordered a burger however which was pretty large in comparison so it leads me to believe this place is really geared more towards your typical bar fare. When it came time to pay for our tab, she forgot that our tab still needed to be transferred from the bar and then when it got closed out and she had to run it again, she encouraged us not to tip out the bartender, since they were just being greedy. Since I also work in the bar industry, I thought this was a little trite on her part and made it seem like the staff are not that close. Overall, I think the Kilt is a fun, happenin' place to be. The decor and the concept of the Scottish bar with sexy wenches definitely captures a sausage party crowd to its doors, but don't expect anything Scottish past a few select beer offerings as it's still just a sports bar with scantily clad...er kilted girls. I definitely plan to go back although I am curious to see if this place is still as busy in another year once the newness wears off.
(4)Vernon A.
I guess I am supposed to like this place because there are young women with these costume things on and sports on television. Oh, and they serve alcohol- that'll justify anything. Walked in and realized this is comically patronized by men, to the point of we should all feel stupid to be here but are obviously too stupid not to be here. Edible food. The waitress tolerated my work mates's pandering comments. Somewhat thoughtful humans would be filled with existential angst but I was hungry and the burger was reasonably good and filling; another day of assured fattness protected. As a business plan, it was assuredly a pretty easy sell far as concept and if Hooters can hang in for all these years by staffing up with make-up drenched twenty something's clad in orange shorts, why not? Why even really differentiate. I bet the loan came fast, amd they'll last for a long time. Am I cynical? Maybe, but I left pissed that I agreed to give this place any of my money. I don't want to meet any people who gave this a good review.
(1)Brad W.
The Tilted Kilt is located right next door to a Hooters which is now out of buisness. I was hoping for something more than a Hooters-type of place when I first went to the Tilted Kilt and was kinda let down. It was a bit nicer, but it still had the same sort of ideas that Hooters did with the all-girl waiters, the short shorts (only now it's kilts), and the tight tee-shirts. The food was a bit better than it was at Hooters with a little more selection on the menu, but I wasn't overly impressed. I thought the place did have a new feel in a way with the different designs, though, as Hooters seems like a tired old place in the country to me and the Tilted Kilt had more on the walls and more flair to it. The drink selection was about the same as Hooters, with a non-full bar. The place was rather crowded, although it had just opened, and it had been advertisitng big in the papers about that. It also had kind of a noisy atmosphere.
(2)Jason M.
Stopped in to the Kilt last night to watch the NFL games & grab a bite with some friends. I don't imagine I'll be back any time soon. The service was terrible. We were told it would be a 15 min wait and were still waiting 30mins later despite several empty tables that just needed cleared off. We finally just sat ourselves at a dirty table and ordered drinks from the bar. Guinness I ordered had an off taste and was poured incorrectly. The server who finally greeted us was friendly but not very knowledgeable, she'd only been working there for two weeks. I asked her to suggest another beer & she said she doesn't like beer. The venue is great for sporting events, lots of tv's. Unfortunately that's all that's great. I'd been to the Kilt shortly after it opened & it's certainly gone down hill since. The girls are friendly but the little school girl uniforms they wear aren't very flattering on some of the ladies. Bad tattoos also seem to be standard issue. The food was ok, got some nachos & a shrimp basket but it took forever and we were looking to leave by the time it arrived. For the prices they charge you would expect a better quality of food & service. Pretty much an over priced Hooters trying to masquerade as a faux Irish sports bar.
(2)Mike G.
OMG! This place has something for everyone. Short version: This place has good food and lots of visual appeal. First of all there are some pretty scantily dressed girls working here. A few are cute, most are very average. They flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt with the guys. Sometimes you see them sitting on a guys lap. The guys eat that up. This is OK to watch, it doesn't go too far, just a bit of fun. The girls are really cool, fun and upbeat. Second of all, this place is one huge sausage fest. There were maybe 7 or 8 girls in the entire restaurant besides employees. I'd guess their customers are probably 98% post work, getting their drink on, large framed, 20's to middle aged white guys. You just can't go wrong with that. It gives the place plenty of visual interest. It certainly adds to the dining experience here. Thirdly, I've been here a few times with some of my girl friends from work. The first time we were there, our server Danae recommended the Gaelic Chicken. What? Gaelic? Wow! All of us are Gaelic, so we just had to go for it. We were not disappointed. Huge portion of meat and potatos, and just the right amount of gravy. I ate half, had the rest for dinner the next day. It's two decent sized chicken breasts with mashed potatoes with Jameson's and garlic mixed in....sooooo gooood. It's a perfect dish for a cold night. Comfort food, pure and simple. If that doesn't do it for you, their menu is pretty good sized. So if Gaelic Chicken isn't your thing, burgers, quesadillas, pastas, steaks, you know...pub grub, you'll find something. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely horrible service. I just wrote a review for the King of Prussia Tilted Kilt on Saturday and it was awesome. Well, I'm back in Ohio and this one is horrific for service. The food was very good. The beer was great. The service was the worst I've ever had. Sydney was our server and she was inattentive, disinterested, and somewhat rude. This review is so sad because I had such a great experience just two days before in King of Prussia, PA. Sydney was too busy chatting and sitting with a couple younger boys who were pouring liquor from a flask into their coke cups. I actually had to leave my table and go to the bar for a refill on my beer. She then disappeared outside with two other younger guys for 20 minutes. When she finally returned, she asked me where I got my beer and I told her I had to go to the bar for a refill. She said, "well I don't have eyes on the back of my head". This place was a joke. I complained to the manager, but I'm thinking not much will be done to correct the issue. Sad.
(1)Patrick P.
I know I will go here because it is involved in my gauntlet of pubs on the northside when in CBus. The place is always crowded and known as the McHooters (It is right beside a Hooters). The waitresses are nice and the beer cold. The only knock I have is the food. It is not the best so I eat somewhere else. The beer on tap is more limited but still a great time. If you have not experienced it - do it (atleast for the experience).
(3)Kaushik J.
Overpriced and not great taste!
(2)Jeremy H.
There is nothing worse than working hard for the man all day long, dealing with the sausage fest at work and at my clients due to being employed in a technologically advanced field, and then going out to dinner and having some dude stand over my shoulder serving my food and drinks to me with their "I should be an investment banker not a server" attitude and having to look at his ugly unshaven hipster face while trying to relax, unwind, and get a bite of food. If this is your lot in life then the Tilted Kilt is your answer. Insecure girls should avoid this establishment and skip reviewing...we understand you are threatened by any woman who gets more attention than you and since you're obviously not working here, there is no point for you to go to this restaurant, if you do there is no reason to complain on Yelp that the men at your table forgot your existed during the dining period. You have been warned. With that being said I don't understand all the hate towards the Kilt. It is obviously one of the most popular restaurants in town why else would you need to wait an hour or two for a table during dinner hours every night of the week? The suits from Chase Bank behind the Kilt tend to fill it up during the lunch hour so if you're going for lunch, like dinner, go early if you want a seat. Obviously the crowding makes this place a bad choice if you're going to walk in with a group of 10 at 7pm and expect a seat before 9pm. COME EARLY! I'll admit, I never ever went to Hooters for the food...it sucks...the wings are small, terrible, and expensive and everything on the menu is overpriced and tastes like it came from a vending machine. Unlike Hooters the food at The Tilted Kilt is actually very good, and well priced, not to mention their menu is about 4x the size of Hooters. On top of that the cast members outfits make the Hooter's girl outfits seem somewhat conservative...so this can be good or bad depending on your views, marital status, or manliness. The drunken clams on the appetizer menu were awesome and very plentiful and fairly cheap. The wings here are cooked perfect, the sauce is great, and you get a lot--they are better than Hooters or BW's wings but Hoggy's wings still reign supreme in Columbus. As far as entrees go, the Sloppy Jane is pretty good and very Irish tasting. The fries here are excellent, similar in size to McDonalds but more flavor. My wife loved the Shepherd's Pie, said it was one of the best she's had anywhere. The Fish and Chips are extremely good too ranking up there with the Rusty Bucket. Fat Bastard's Meatloaf sandwich was okay, but lacked flavor, Northstar has a better meatloaf sandwich. My kids loved the pizza, not bad for an Irish restaurant but not as good as you can get at Papa Johns or Planks or your other favorite pizza restaurant. I look forward to trying more items on the menu. The service here is top notch, most of the girls are very young and intelligent young ladies just trying to make it through life with what they've been dealt. Many of them are in school paying for their education on their own, some of them working more than one job in our community to support themselves and their children. I commend them on taking advantage of their natural beauty to get ahead in life without giving into the sleaziness and other negative aspects associated with stripping--this should be respected that they didn't take the easy route for more money as not every girl is born into a wealthy family where they can be a hipster with a trust fund, some have to bust their ass to get by so while these girls are scantily clad, be respectful as if it were your sister or friend. The drinks at the bar are priced very well, probably some of the cheapest at Polaris. Add in all the HDTV's and you've got yourself and awesome sports bar. The music is loud but not loud enough to where it is obnoxious. I enjoy the Tilted Kilt and there's no reason you can't either, give it a try but like I said...it's popular so go early to get seated!

I know I'm a woman who is reviewing this place but I'm not here to talk about how these waitresses are dressed: I want to talk about the TERRIBLE SERVICE. My two friends and I went there and were told we had to wait a minute for them to clean off a table. Okay, this place wasn't even that packed. Finally we were seated and we were literally sitting there for ten minutes and NO ONE came to ask us for drink orders or to even acknowledge we were there. I understand these waitresses probably get the majority of their tips from men but seriously. We were there to eat and drink a few beers which would have resulted in a good tip even though we are women. We walked out after realizing no one was going to come serve us and one of the waitresses asked us if we were leaving and when we said yes because no one would serve us she said "oh sorry." Where was the manager? Why didn't anyone try to stop us? I'm sorry that's just bad service and I will definitely not be coming back. If you're looking for a good pub, definitely check out Polaris Pub because it's close by and the food is probably ten times better.

It is what it is. This place is a bit more intense than a Hooters as far as attire, but the waitresses were much less pushy and in your face, so that may be good or bad based on your preference. The beer selection was great, and lots of food choices as well.
(3)Bill M.
Only been there once so far, but the first time was good. We decided to finally try this place after a promotion with the Columbus Curling Club (search for that here on yelp) NIce place, it might be cliche to say its a high class hooters, but I know I've heard it said. Service was good, nice clean place - I had the meatloaf sandwich that came with a very good Guiness BBQ sauce and my wife had Fish and Chips. Cost was modeerate, but in line with others. We will go back and try more stuff. The menu was huge.

Holy titties mcgee! Just kidding. I've been here a few times, and what I've noticed: it doesn't matter if it's slow, the table service sucks. The food is varying on a level from "OMG WOW DELISH" (the fried sausage sandwich thing) to "I paid for this?" (a wrap I ordered). What I've determined is I no longer waste time sitting at a table (I've only been here solo, oddly enough) - and only sit at the bar. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and every time I go it seems everyone avoids the bar like the plague. The staff seems so all over the map, though, but the bartenders at lunch/early evening have been consistently good.
(4)Nate N.
Came here for a work function, and Monday night football. Waitresses were good, beer selection was good and the food was very good. There are huge TVs everywhere, so there is always something to look at. Newer place, so it is pretty clean. You pay a little bit for the scenery, but is fairly priced. Come EAT & ENJOY. Worth the time and effort for a sports bar guy/girl.

Many ladies on these review posts make it sound HORRIBLE as if men are in there to get laid and sexually harass every female in the rstaurant....and many men on here exagerrate as if it's the play boy mansion with dime models. It's NONE of that. It's a restaurant with okay food, sports on TV, and girls showing some skin. The skirt isn'tthat short so it's not like their ass is showing although many men probably wish it was lol. Honestly, the waitresses looked AVERAGE at best. There was about one girl that was pretty attractive and her boobs were distracting because they were so big and pushed up lol, I'm not a lesbian but it's right there and it's hard to not notice. But yeah, it's not as terrible as you'd think. People seem to concentrate on their food, the TV, and talk. You see a lot of men but I don't see many of them acting like dogs. There are also a good handful of ladies in the restaurant too that are dining in. People keep saying it has more class than Hooters...but I don't see too much of a difference. I ordered the barbecue pulled pork, it was alright. My bf ordered the burger, just okay. The french fries were really good though cuz I liked the garlic seasoning.

A sports bar Hooters with kilts on instead. We decided to give it a go and well.......we came we ate we ain't going back in all probability. We were seated and waited and waited till we hailed a passing bloke in a kilt and asked him who was our server and where might they be? Turned out she was outside on the patio taking an extended break and didn't even know she had "customers" . Hubs had fish tacos which weren't too bad and I had a side salad to go along with my fish and chips. Ok, first time in my life I've had square fish with fish and chips! They looked liked Mrs. Paul's frozen fish fillets that had been dunked in batter and fried up. C'mon!!! I suppose if you want a brew while watching a game this is an ok spot. I guess.
(2)Steven G.
Unfortunately I didn't have good service on this Tuesday afternoon. Although the place was fairly empty, my server didn't show up for about 10 minutes before she took my drink order. She seemed a little scatterbrained to say the least. No amount of bare midriffs, cleavage, or short skirts can make up for poor service. My Southwest chicken wrap was adequate, but the tabasco on my table was empty. And getting another bottle took another several minutes. If you go for the waitress eye candy, the hostess was the best of the bunch. Overall, a mediocre experience to say the least. I hope others around the country are a notch above this one.
(2)Lori R.
We had dinner there last night! The fish and chips were awesome! And the whiskey beef off the Hoppy Hour menu was so tender! As always, had the Irish nachos. That is a must order! Our server was great and so sweet!
(5)Angela H.
This place is worth a visit for the experience alone. On a Saturday night, the place is easily 80% males there to see the servers dressed up in cute little plaid skirts and belly-baring shirts. There's also a ton of TVs around which makes this place great to watch sports. Try to get a table away from the kitchen unless you really enjoy the smell of sauerkraut. It was overpowering. Other than that, the food is good, beer is good, service is interesting, but it gets really really busy and loud most nights.
(3)Robert M.
I can see why the Hooters next door went out of business. The food here is great! The waitresses are exceptional. I guess plaid won over orange.
(5)Ryan D.
I'm not sure what more to say other than, AWESOME! Food was excellent beyond my expectations, I had the boneless wings which had the best tangy buffalo sauce I have tasted in years! We also tried some sort of cabbage egg roll looking appetizers and they were just excellent as well! The service was amazing and they have a full bar with an excellent selection. The scenery is also a good reason to visit as well, there is always something to look at while your at the tilted kilt! I can't recommend this place enough, go eat there. Hopefully they will keep the level of service going!
(5)Brandon B.
Okay, I will skip the obvious reasons as to why I love this place and get to what seriously actually does matter and that's good food and service. I personally don't have a complaint. I like the food. I also like the drinks here, especially their own speciality mixed drinks. Yes it can be a little expensive and I only received terribly slow service ONE time but everyone was extremely apologetic and nice about it. Hey stuff happens and if you recognize and own it, you're forgiven. There's a good mix of traditional American food as well as some native Scottish/Irish dishes both traditional and with an American twist. In summary, I wouldn't plan on spending hours here drinking and looking at boobs or you will regret the final bill more than a night out at an actual strip club BUT it's great for dinner and a drink with some plaid puppies on the side.

Absolutely loved the Tilted Kilt. My best friend and I walked in on a Wednesday to a nearly empty restaurant. We were seated and promptly greeted by a bubbly young and beautiful server named Alli. She was so genuinely personable and kind. Alli offered great drink and menu suggestions, all of which were spot on for what we had in mind. We were nearly the only women in the entire restaurant with the exception of the staff. We drank Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale on draught, which was delcious and had hot pretzels with warm beer cheese dip. The sandwiches we had were HUGE and both my friend and I took half of ours home. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, lots of Celtic memorabilia with tons of different sports team apparel too. There's a "juke box" with a wide variety of music. A huge bar with tons of draught and bottle beer options. Lots of delicious liquor, including an obvious favorite Jameson. All around awesome experience because of the atmosphere and our awesome server, Alli. Our trip to the Kilt was very much worth the hour and a half trip. Can't wait to go back again.
(5)Brian F.
Horrible music, waitresses dressed like strippers, huge televisions. This Bloody Mary should not be this colour. What's not to love?
(1)Kelsie P.
Cool atmosphere, sat outside and they had a nice patio. We got a couple appetizers. Food was what you'd expect, good bar food. Service was perfect. Our server sammy (not sure how she spelled it) was quick and attentive and really friendly.
(5)Heather G.
Fish and chips was excellent, but do not order the shepherd's pie. The pie was all potatoes on the bottom, dry beef and no gravy with crunchy carrots.
(3)Mike G.
OMG! This place has something for everyone. Short version: This place has good food and lots of visual appeal. First of all there are some pretty scantily dressed girls working here. A few are cute, most are very average. They flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt with the guys. Sometimes you see them sitting on a guys lap. The guys eat that up. This is OK to watch, it doesn't go too far, just a bit of fun. The girls are really cool, fun and upbeat. Second of all, this place is one huge sausage fest. There were maybe 7 or 8 girls in the entire restaurant besides employees. I'd guess their customers are probably 98% post work, getting their drink on, large framed, 20's to middle aged white guys. You just can't go wrong with that. It gives the place plenty of visual interest. It certainly adds to the dining experience here. Thirdly, I've been here a few times with some of my girl friends from work. The first time we were there, our server Danae recommended the Gaelic Chicken. What? Gaelic? Wow! All of us are Gaelic, so we just had to go for it. We were not disappointed. Huge portion of meat and potatos, and just the right amount of gravy. I ate half, had the rest for dinner the next day. It's two decent sized chicken breasts with mashed potatoes with Jameson's and garlic mixed in....sooooo gooood. It's a perfect dish for a cold night. Comfort food, pure and simple. If that doesn't do it for you, their menu is pretty good sized. So if Gaelic Chicken isn't your thing, burgers, quesadillas, pastas, steaks, you know...pub grub, you'll find something. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely horrible service. I just wrote a review for the King of Prussia Tilted Kilt on Saturday and it was awesome. Well, I'm back in Ohio and this one is horrific for service. The food was very good. The beer was great. The service was the worst I've ever had. Sydney was our server and she was inattentive, disinterested, and somewhat rude. This review is so sad because I had such a great experience just two days before in King of Prussia, PA. Sydney was too busy chatting and sitting with a couple younger boys who were pouring liquor from a flask into their coke cups. I actually had to leave my table and go to the bar for a refill on my beer. She then disappeared outside with two other younger guys for 20 minutes. When she finally returned, she asked me where I got my beer and I told her I had to go to the bar for a refill. She said, "well I don't have eyes on the back of my head". This place was a joke. I complained to the manager, but I'm thinking not much will be done to correct the issue. Sad.
(1)Patrick P.
I know I will go here because it is involved in my gauntlet of pubs on the northside when in CBus. The place is always crowded and known as the McHooters (It is right beside a Hooters). The waitresses are nice and the beer cold. The only knock I have is the food. It is not the best so I eat somewhere else. The beer on tap is more limited but still a great time. If you have not experienced it - do it (atleast for the experience).
(3)Chris V.
Quite possibly the worst nachos on the face of the earth....comparable to a walking taco at the local high school concession stand. Not sure what was worse...the burnt smell or the boxed cheese! 2 dudes behind the bar at a Tilted Kilt??? Skip this place...
(1)Chris D.
I live in NY, but moved to Columbus and we don't have any places like this at all. It puts hooters to shame if you're looking for that kind of "eye candy." They wear really short skirts (kilts) and not much on top. A short white top and push up bra is what all the servers, who are all females are wearing. The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was prepared very nicely and to my liking. The tap beer was at a great temperature and the appetizers were done well too. Just good bar food.

My Sunday afternoon travels 'round Columbus' outerbelt found me driving into the Polaris Fashion Mall area. After a short walk-about in Best Buy (does anyone else find today's tech to be boring?), I fired up the Chevy and road over to Sancus Road. Claddaugh? Nope, I was lured to the infamous plaid skirt kingdom of Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery. My first reaction was one of surprise. The restaurant has a nice layout and is very large. Big dining room area with plentiful HDTV service all around. The centrally located bar area is a biggie, too, and is a big rectangular place to sit so you're facing patrons on the other side, something I always find nice (but plenty of distance 'cross the bartender's domain). And there is a smaller dining area to compliment overall presentation. Bathroom review. The MEN's was clean, spacious and sink areas spotless. I find bathrooms are always a reflection on management so good on yah mate for having a clean oasis. Sitting at the bar I was greeted by Kristin who was very pleasant and helpful. The menu was standard pub food listing burgers as the mainstay and partnered with flatbread pizza. Their specials were focused on the pizzas - different combos of meats, cheeses and veggies. I asked for for the Tilted Kilt large garden salad with grilled chicken breast (not listed on the menu for the standard salad) and Kristin was happy to oblige. I like any restaurant that does the little things. Again, HDTVs were everywhere. The servers' garb - not much of a distraction even with short skirties and white blouses tide midriff. Less "in your face" than Hooters and their presentations. So I got past that portion of the Tilted Kilt's reputation pretty fast. All else was good. I would meet friends, guys & gals, at the Tilted Kilt for sports on TV and some drafts. Sure would.

REVIEW OF MY FANTASY DRAFT THAT WE DID ON 8-23-2013 We arrived and were shown to our area where tables had been reserved for us. We also were given a 12 team draft board despite our team being 16 teams so the board was not able to be used. After being shown to our area we were asked if we wanted anything to drink and then the waitress left and we did not see her again for about 20 minutes. In the meantime I was stressed out because I didn't know how we were going to plug in our laptops as the tables given to us were not near an outlet. I asked the hostess to get John, the GM, and was told he was busy but they would see if they could find him. After waiting about another 10 minutes or so I took matters into my own hands and moved all the back room tables all over the place to setup our tables near the only outlet I could find in the back room. At about 8:15pm we finally got our drinks and I asked where our server was that had been assigned to us. After a few minutes I was told she was not coming in and that the waitress who had served us when we arrived would be our server. As people began to arrive I realized that we would need more outlets so I asked our server for an extension cord with a power cord. She said she wasn't sure if they had one or not and then she disappeared and never came back. Many of the people in our party could not utilize the wi-fi, the signal was too weak. I had them instead use my phones 4G connection. We spent nearly the full 30 minutes before the draft scrambling to get connectivity. I have eaten at the restaurant many times and the wi-fi is good but this is the first time being in the back room so I suspect you may need a repeater for your wi-fi to better extend the signal back there. But getting back to our service, throughout the night our service was not terrible but was also not all that great either. Sometimes just when I was about to get angry that we had not seen our waitress in a long time she would appear so it was fairly borderline. My nephew also ordered boneless wings and they were forgotten when the food came out, he told the waitress and it took about another 30 minutes to get his wings (for a total of about an hour wait). I recall being told we would have our own server and she would just be waiting on us and that was definitely not the case. And it wasn't because we didn't have a big enough party either, we ended up having 9 people show up for the draft. I will say though that aside from my nephews experience we all got served the right food after we ordered it and the food was really good tasting in my experience and there were no complaints about any of the food that I know of. If you recall I had asked John to come out at the start of the draft. I'm not criticizing John here as maybe he never got the message but not once throughout the night did he or anyone else come out to check on how things were going or to welcome us for having our draft party there. All in all things weren't going too terribly bad, although I wasn't exactly happy with the service or how the pre-draft setup went...but then the checks came. The only discount applied on anyones check was half off boneless wings for my nephew. I had gotten regular wings and was charged full price. There was no discernible discount on the beer either. None of our appetizers were discounted. I asked others to look at their bills and some just paid and left despite them telling me they got no discounts. I was not happy and asked why I had not received 50% off my wings. I was told that discount was only for boneless wings. That was simply not true as when we placed our reservation Tilted Kilt I don't believe even had boneless wings. I argued for a bit with the waitress and told her the beer was also incorrectly showing on the bill. I was told we would have $2 Miller Lite drafts and I had 3 beers but yet I was showing $9 total, not $6. The waitress commented that she would get John. John came out and told us we were getting a price break on the beer, that it had been $4.50 and had been marked down recently to $3. Even so, if they had been marked down to $3 that was the regular price for everyone, we weren't gettin any discount. And I knew that was no correct as Tilted Kilt, I don't believe anyways, charges $4.50 for a regular Miller Lite (the regular glass, NOT the tall boy glass). Every bar I've been to has the tall boy draft beer for $4.50. I told John I simply was not paying that and that I was very unhappy and after a bit of going back and forth he agreed to honor the price for me. In conclusion Tilted Kilt needs to do like BW3's and offer a dedicated waitress, provide support for setup and honor their pre-draft promises on specials. Also, we shouldn't have had to ask for the MPV cards and never got our trophy either.

Food was mediocre. Great beer selection. Do not get the Gaelic chicken, it was so horribly over sauced. It was more a soup.
(3)Steve P.
I met two of my friends here for drinks and a late dinner on a Saturday night and it was a great atmosphere for a guys night. If you know how the wait staff dresses, you will understand that this is a guys' bar. I would not take my wife, nor my children here. Apparently, some people do. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. We had a waitress named Anna that did a great job of making sure we enjoyed ourselves, our beer, and our food. Good service goes a long way, but the outfits don't hurt either! Lots of craft beers on draft, but also a wide beer selection in general. I ordered the black bean rollup and they also have a black bean burger (vegetarian). My rollup and the fries were really good, but the rollup was spicier than I expected. I think I drank about 5 glasses of water along with my beers. My friends both ordered something different and both enjoyed their meals as well. I would recommend this place for a night out with the guys, whether you're getting dinner, watching the game, or just want a fun atmosphere with beautiful women serving you.
(4)Alex B.
Amazing food...not that most people come there for the food anyway :P This place beats Hooters, hands down. Every single waitress here is gorgeous. They serve you well, are amazingly personable and often sit down to talk with you (weekdays when I go - this may be different during peak hours). I am sad this is the only Kilt in Columbus, as I have to drive almost a half hour to get here. But I'm more than wiling to do it. Any franchisees willing to open one in the Hilliard or Dublin area? :)
(5)Brian F.
I just wasn't too impressed with this place at all. The wait staff was nice, but it just felt awkward making conversation with them. The beer selection was pretty good, but I felt the beer was a little overpriced. I will say that it was cool that they had 1/2 price appetizers on a Saturday night. I got the Spinach-Artichoke dip, which was fine but nothing special. I also finished it and had a ton of chips left. My friends got the garlic fries, which were very tasty, and at $2.00 (when they're half off)...that's a very good value! Other than that, there just isn't much that would make me want to come back here.
(2)Will P.
No really, come for the FOOD ;) I admit I came to see if girls were really wearing little skirts and short shirts with cleavage. To my surprise the food was very good. First time I went I had the bacon cheeseburger. I was a very quality burger, almost as good as my favorite Red Robin Burger. The second time around I had wings. these were also flavorful and a good portion size. The sweet potato fries are just awesome. Tvs are everywhere and best part of all they show UFC ppv events! I will definitely go again, FOR THE FOOD!
(4)Jessica H.
The uniforms are cute. I'd wear it in private for my man. As an ex-beer "brand" girl... I get it. But kind of felt the total exposure went from pushing the boundaries of fun to just a little too much around food. I have to wonder too, if there isn't some sort of OSHA or FDA health code violation with the open-toed/high heels shoes and exposed skin. Or EEOC. It just makes it dangerous and hard to work in hospitality/food service. Bar "maids" are quick and efficient. I think they could handle the crowd. The wait staff, well, let's just say we saw one sitting on some guy's lap... and for a long period of time.. not just as a joke and flirt. And a little movement. Um. Eww. The food was bleh. Nothing to write home about. Overly greasy, overly priced. Nothing unique or creative. Good craft brew selection on tap. (What I don't get is why guys attend a sausage fest with such a low eye candy to sweaty-men-packed-like-sardines-and-sitting-too-Âclose-for-comfort ratio) I was one of two women in the entire place. I get it, I get the purpose... I get the novelty. But on several factors, ew.
(1)Mike C.
Got taken here for a guys night out type thing. Won't go back if I have a choice. Let us address the 800lb gorilla in the room. There are hot girls wearing kilts here. Yes you can look at their stomach and butt and legs. Sometimes you might catch a little cleavage. However, I call them girls for a reason. I'm not sure there was any one server over the age of (very) early twenties and by my guess, a few dipped in to the teens. This is a little creepy, at least for the early 30 something crowd I was with. Yeah I understand the appeal it's just not for me. We get assigned a perky young girl who was more than a little late at taking our drink order. What about the service from our attractive young lass? I had some complaints, some her fault some not, but the most egregious one was that she knew nothing about the beer offerings from the bar. I asked for the list and at one point she mentions there is an IPA, which I ask for. What she comes back with is some kind of murky wheat ale that couldn't be farther from an IPA. I have her take it back and get me the IPA. Again she returns with the wheat. She tries once more and my heart sinks as I see the cloudy pale drink on her tray. She gives up and has us walk to the bar and point out what we want. Turns out there is no IPA, the keg was kicked long ago. We point and grunt like cavemen some beer that we want and finally get something drinkable. Fast forward to the food and it was actually good. A total saving grace from the dreaded 1 star review. My cheese steak was melty and delicious. My friend's shepherd's pie tasted great, although hard to eat due to the large cast iron pot it was served in.
(2)Mark K.
The short version: like Hooters but with better food and cuter girls. Neither is the kind of place I go often, but some friends wanted to go here so we tried it out. The service was good, and all the servers were attractive. Between them and the multiple TVs you'll always have something to watch. The music was a bit loud but not so bad you couldn't hear conversations. The food was decent. I got the chili- thick, but bland. Calamari: properly cooked, not chewy, but underseasoned. A little salt and pepper, at least, would help. The marinara sauce was bland too; at least there was a bottle of hot sauce on the table to kick it up. Others at the table got burgers and salads, and said they were good. Couldn't sample the beer selection because I was on the way to work, but they had a few things that were tempting.
(3)Rachel N Erik F.
NOPE! Came here two nights in a row. First night had horrible service at the rail section. Came back the next night for college football and the service was pretty good. Until the servers changed. Meika was good however, Jen was awful! Checked on us twice in an hour. Even worse though, NONE of the other staff checked on us. Walked right by as if we weren't there. I held up both empty glasses and nothing! Tilted Kilt you have lost my patronage. Not my fault, I was very open to reason but you blew it. NEVER GOING TO ANOTHER ONE, EVER...
(1)Brad S.
So, wifey and I went here yesterday on a whim expecting some Hooters knockoff and we were ecstatic that this place didn't meet those expectations in any way shape or form. Tilted Kilt blows Hooters out of the water and may become one of my favorite sports bars in Columbus. It lacks the chintzy/trashy feel of Hooters and the stuffiness/pretentiousness of Claddagh and lifts its kilt and gives both of those places a taunting wiggle. I was shocked at how good the wings were - I ordered them "grilled" and with the hottest sauce they offered (not really that hot at all, but really, really tasty) - I had never had grilled wings before and they were a nice change of pace from the breaded monstrosities at Roosters and the teeny-tiny coated-in-shellac "wings" at B-Dubs. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, which was giant and came loaded with cole slaw. The price is right, too - I got about 8 giant wings with an ample helping of fries for a total of $9.99. At B-Dubs, wings alone cost $8.50 (for 12, which equals about 8 Tilted Kilt-sized wings), plus if you want a side like fries or buffalo chips or potato wedges, you can easily drop another $4 (if you want cheese). Other menu offerings included appetizers like nachos and cheese fries, and entrees like burgers, pizzas, and wraps. The food really is phenomenal - several steps above your average bar fare. The service was great for how busy they were for NFL Sunday - our server was very cute and very talkative, but not annoyingly so. (At least she didn't sit down at the table with us like she did at the dude-filled table next to us. A liiiittle awkward.) I'm kind of baffled that other reviewers think too much skin is on display here - it's basically like a high school Halloween party. I saw a lot of tramp stamps and a flash of two of cleavage, but mostly bare midriffs, which you see on any trip to any mall between the months of May and September. The restaurant itself is pretty standard appearance-wise - some "Irish" touches here and there (like various flags and dark wood finishes), but the draw is the TVs - more TVs than you can comprehend, really - and there's also a couple giant projection screens. The bar area is really cool and has a couple "outlier" areas that are still technically part of the bar - so you can still feel like you're sitting at the bar without rubbing elbows with the 350-pound dude squeezed into a Barry Sanders jersey from 1988 that he last fit into when he was 14. Beer selection isn't anything to write home about - mostly domestics on tap, with seasonal Bell's and Great Lakes offerings - but I'm sure you'll manage to find something palatable. Give it a shot - it's a good time, and it's not just for dudes. There were several females in here yesterday, and a lot of families with young'uns, too. (I also noticed that they show live UFC events, so my going-to-Bdubs ritual for the fights may have come to an end.)

We went to the Tilted Kilt to watch the OSU v. Michigan game. We have been to many bars around Columbus to watch the OSU football and for the most part, service has always been horrible. On Saturday, we had a table of about 14 people and our server was Alex. The service was not only the best we have ever had on a game day, but our server made it even more fun. To top it off, they have good bar food and great drinks. You can also sit anywhere and see a TV. We will definitely be back again!

So, Tilted Kilt would have gotten 3 stars from me until we got our bill and I saw I was charged and not told I'd be charged for being given a 'taste' of a draught beer. Beware, it is 50 cents for a taste! I've never heard of such a thing, unless you're at a beer tasting and you pay for that. Otherwise, it was packed full for the Buckeye game last Saturday and we had a table of about 15, which two girls handled very well. Never were we neglected and all needs were met with a smile. The girls are eager to keep beer after beer coming. Probably because they are priced at the top of the range for beer at a restaurant/bar $4.75-$6 range from what I can tell. $4.75 Newcastle-$6 black and tan. We ordered the TK Irish Nachos, which were potato chips with cheese sauce beef and tomatoes that was over all funky tasting from the strange cheese sauce that went without description in the menu. The chips were great. Get a basket of those for $2.99 vs. $6.99 for the weird nachos. Others at the table enjoyed entrees and apps, a cheesy chicken dish looked tasty. Overall it was a fun atmosphere. Everyone was having a good time, and that's what it comes down to. I wouldn't suggest coming here because there are a lot of bars with cheaper beer and better food (4st St. Patio, Easton Sports Club), but I wouldn't put up a fight if my friends invited me again. I just will never get a 'taste' of a beer again.

This place is really a lot of fun to go to. It's loud and there is usually a wait but the food is pretty decent, the beer is pretty decent and the atmosphere is also pretty decent. I did not realize that this place was going to have as many TVs as it did with lots of sports games running, so that was a pleasant surprise. In fact, this bar would be a really great spot to go to if you want to go just for a game or two as their food is above average bar food. I had the corned beef and cabbage and I would definitely have that again the next time I go back. They have Murphy's stout, along with all of the other Irish beer staples but I usually stop looking at what a place has to drink once I see Murphy's stout. It's not on draft but finding Murphy's stout on draft anywhere that's not in New England is a rarity. The server we had was quite good and attentive. They all wear the same outfit that makes bikini's seem conservative but I was totally fine with that. That element isn't the most family friendly element but you're probably not taking your kids to a sports bar with boob servers either. All in all, It's worth going to on a routine basis if you live out there.

Terrible staff! Sat at the table for over 10 min and not one of the 4 servers who walked by multiple times bother to stop or even smile ! Awful! Can't comment on the food because I'm still hungry!!

After a few people we know convinced us this place wasnt as slutty as it seems we gave it a shot. Lunch hour, no one was there. Ok..a bit akward. A few older creepy men were there and some -not so attractive- waitress sporting the skimpy mini and rolled-into-their-bra white shirt. Granted, this outfit is amazingly sexy on the right girl, but HORRIBLE on the wrong ones. These girls just looked like crack whores in training. Really nice though, I feel bad voicing my opinion on this one. We told her we never been there before and she sat down next to my husband and leaned in and read the menu to him. I felt so bad for him. The poor man kept looking at me with this pained expression like 'is this ok...why the 'f' is she doing this?! How do I get her to stand up?!" I just laughed. It was too amusing to just sit there and ignore him. The waitress was a bit confused, but since I didn't look her in the eyes once the whole night I couldn't care less. In my opinion, if you wear the outfit of a slut then you are a slut. It's like a guy wearing a cop uniform but not being a cop. Despite the awkward staff uniforms and our wonderful time checking the girls out to laugh at them & come up with retarded reasons for why they might have chosen to work at a place like this we were reminded (a friend of ours who recommended this place to us) that this place is cultural....not skanky. SO I digress. (Back East no one buy snot noised old men would go here to gawk) The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really tasty! The burger came out how I asked for it and the waitress was attentive to us. The sweet baby rays bbq sauce is what i use at home but it was infused with guniess which was a nice treat! Jalepeno inferno burger was ok. white chocolate and mac nut cookie w/ ice cream was 'nomnomnom' gone in 5 mins. So to wrap it up...skankier outfit make good conversation. I couldn't look them in the eyes I was so awkward. (this coming from a girl who went to Hooters all the time back home) but the food was very very good and the staff is really nice. Too bad they had to ruin the outfits with girls who couldn't fill them out better. I just hate the types of people this kind of place brings. I cant speak for Columbus but back home no one but creeps would go a place like this. At least this place seemed 'ok'

This was my first time eating here and the food was fantastic. My visit with and service from Maria was a good as it gets. I was waiting for someone and they ended up being at another table. lol Maria was also very gracious too. Mr. Butch

Today I ate lunch at with two friends, Cliff and Kathy at The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery on Polaris. This was my second visit to the Kilt, having eaten there one time previously with Cliff. On the first visit several weeks ago Cliff and I both had wings with Kilburn Sauce and fell in love with them. Today's visit I ordered the Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Cliff ordered the Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips Kathy ordered the Danny Boy Shepherds Pie I asked for a side of their signatory Kilburn sauce to use as a dip for my fries, Cliff asked to try the Kilburn Mayo, (Both our requests were accommodated.) In the interests of a fair and balanced review the three of us each sampled one another s dishes. Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Fries were fresh and crispy, the Cheese Steak was mediocre. The side of Kilburn sauce was a nice addition. Overall verdict Average. Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips When the dish first came out, we were alarmed at the seemingly small size of the portion. Upon complaining to the waitress, Cliff was given another three pieces of the fish for an additional $3.00. The flavor and freshness of the fish more than compensated for the initial shock we had over portion size. The batter was crispy and fresh and the fish was light and flaky the way good fish should be. Overall Verdict Excellent, Tasty but Small Portion Danny Boy Shepherds Pie A tasty and satisfying rendition of traditional Shepherds pie, somewhat peppery which suited me although unusually Cliff found it slightly over peppered. The dish was made simple and fresh as it should of been without over complicating the flavors. A solid choice for the meat and potato fanatic. Overall verdict Good depending on palette. The Waitress was kind enough to give us some Kilburn sauce to go after we asked if it was available for sale. unfortunately the sauce is not sold as a to go item.

Beer n food way over priced.... Staff not friendly, management even less friendly. Owners made huge profit first 1.5 years, now do not care about customers. Sad, they will close in 1 to 2 years because of poor customer service. Very sad..
(1)Sean R.
Stopped in for a late lunch. Katie was great and helped a first timer pick out the perfect food and drink for a hot day. I've heard some refer to this as hooters-esque and I couldn't disagree more. I didn't feel like this place was selling "sexy." The food was quite good and everyone we spoke with, employee and patron was very friendly. Isn't that what you want in a pub atmosphere?
(4)Mike D.
You know Hooter's? Yeah, it's Hooter's. Don't be shocked by the skimpy outfits, high heels, and suggestive manner of (some of) the waitstaff. There, now you know what you're getting into. They have a basic pub/grill menu, burgers and sandwiches of various sorts. I had a burger and it was pretty good for the price. The garlic fries weren't worth trying. It's definitely not somewhere I'd put into my regular rotation of restaurants (hey, I've been to Hooter's a grand total of one, too, but didn't even like the food), but if someone wanted to go I wouldn't be against it.
(3)Jen S.
Went in on a Sunday afternoon for a few pints and I will certainly not return. The beer selection is not great and the bartender did not know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness. If you can't pour it right, don't bother serving it. This is not really a pub, more an overly themed sports bar with crappy service provided by rude and ridiculously unprofessional servers. Don't get me wrong, I will happily chit chat with the servers and bartenders, but I don't need to hear all of your personal drama about your divorces, failed relationships and how you wish you could just find someone to take care of you. Sorry, I came in to relax, not to have to listen to that crap. If you want a good tip, do a good job. We were in such a rush to get out there, we only ate an order of fries and went elsewhere to finish our afternoon out. I would suggest any of the other pubs in the area over this place for sure. I know the appeal of this place is supposed to be the ladies, but from my husband and I saw that day, they are not so picky as they were when they first opened from what I have heard.
(1)Brett P.
It's like Applebees, with boobs! A friend and I decided to go here for lunch because one of his friends loves it. By the end of the meal, neither of us knew why. Checkpoints: * Mixed service experience. Our first waitress was pretty cool, but she went on a break and was replaced by a horrible one. We had to get our own drink refills. * Bad food. I had a turkey burger and would have preferred almost anything else. It was the blandest, densest chunk of pressed turkey meat I've ever had. My friend had a chicken sandwich that was nearly as processed. * The number of ho tags was impressive. (Is that not PC? Do we say "tramp stamps" now?) * Cheap. Two huge sandwiches and tons of fries for $20. Not bad. * Decent beer choices. * Those aren't kilts; they're skirts. Summary: If you want boobs, get Cinemax. If you want decent food, go to any of the other restaurants in the area. If you want _both_ and don't care about the quality of either, The Tilted Kilt is your place!
(1)Tatem M.
I'm not one of those girls who feels intimidated by a waitress showing a little skin, and who doesn't like eye candy while they eat? But my visit here was shitty and it had nothing to do with the food. I was approached twice about applying to work there by the bar staff. I don't know if my shirt was too tight, or if they're hard up for help, but I was out with my boss and a business associate from out of town and it was inappropriate. The first time I laughed it off, the second time I wasn't nearly as polite. Those waitresses are working hard for their money, so by all means, tip the hell out of them, but if you're a woman, put on a burlap sack if you don't want to be part of the show. At least the fish and chips were decent. That's what scored the second star.
(2)Kristen N.
With all the Polaris lunch spots, why are we waiting 45 minutes for a table on a Friday at 2 pm?? Oh . . . little plaid skirts. OK I get it. I checked out the Tilted Kilt for the first time the other day for a late lunch and was surprised by how busy the place was on a weekday. Luckily most of my party arrived before me and did most of the waiting on their own. It seemed like lots of tables were clearing out but no one was seating us. Eventually we drunkenly pulled 3 tables together in some T shaped fashion and settled in for some long overdue nourishment. The waitresses were, as promised, wearing plaid skirts and bra tops with a short white top tied under the rib cage (think Brittney Spears pre-Kfed/emotional breakdown/shaved head). They were nice and polite, as scantily dressed women who rely on tips to pay their rent should be, but I was a little disappointed that many of the women looked like clones of MK and Ashley Olsen ( i.e. very little hips or curves) I would have liked to see a few more shapely ladies to fill out the costumes. I remember the food being 5 star but mostly because I was freakin' starving. We started with the calamari which was really well cooked and properly breaded but it was served with marinara sauce and I generally prefer it a little more modern with a lemon aoli. I would definitely order it again though. I then followed up the fried squid with a big ol medium rare cheeseburger and fries. This hit the spot and the burger was pink and cooked perfectly. Certainly most of the crowd were men but women should not feel weird about eating here. There also seemed to be a lot of TV's around so I'd think this would be a nice place to watch sports too. The menu had a few other things I'd probably like to try and if the Tilted Kilt provides a couple more satisfactory dining experiences I will probably up my rating to 4 stars. At this point though, plaid skirts, good burger and mediocre beer is just A-OK.
(3)Jennifer S.
The atmosphere is great for a sports bar (which is what this is) that has a full service bar and diverse menu, however, the food is just average and sort of bland. Not at all traditional scottish or irish fare. The apps are PHENOMENAL!! The wings are fire grilled with just the right amount of char, the drunken clams a welcome option, and the garlic fries were awsome!. Now the entrees were a different story. The Chicken was underseasoned and rather tasteless, the "stew" was basically a beef vegtable soup with mashed potatoes on them. The burgers looked good, but we didn't order those so can't be sure, but I'd venture to say if you stick to the bar food options your pretty well off. Great draft beer selection, including Budweiser which most places don't carry any longer on draft. Service was mediocre, and went here for my birthday so they came out and did their Bday thing (announcement to the restaurant and bring out a fresh baked choc chip cookie with ice cream) which would have been nice at the end of the meal, but they did while we were all on our first round of drinks and hadn't even gotten our appetizers. Servers were clueless and with little personality. Let me say the "stripper" type reviews of the staff attire are totally rude and wrong. Nothing more to see here than some bellies. As a woman I was not uncomfortable with the uniforms, and many familes were here on the evening we went. The female servers wear "uniforms" that are supposed to be flirty kilt girl wear but are more reminiscent of the "catholic school girl" fantasy costume. The male servers do wear more traditional, and knee length, kilts. PLENTY of TVs and not a bad seat in the house, but they tended to play the same games on most of them. All in all an okay experience, but I don't think we'll return, there are just too many other options in the city with better food.
(3)Matt P.
When I first wrote my review, "the Kilt" hadn't been open very long, so there wasn't really a wait and the staff was quite attractive. I've been back a few times since, and it is jam packed for lunch now. That alone has deterred more regular visits, but the service is starting to suffer as well. From my last couple experiences and from reading the other reviews, it seems they have been getting a lot of food orders incorrect and the attention you get from your server is really hit or miss. Of the past two times, I had one chick who practically chilled at our table the whole time and hung out. The other visit, our girl came to get our order, delivered the food, but otherwise never checked on our table. It took forever to even pay the bill cause she never came by. I still think this place is leaps and bounds above Hooters, but it is sliding into mediocrity.
(4)Bruce H.
I stopped here as I was passing thru Columbus. I had never heard of the place, but parking lot was full (useally a good sign), so we stopped and went in. This place was very large with plenty of seating. The waitress were all dressed in kilt's, showing a lot of skin, which I did'nt mind. The service was good and the food was good. I had the black and blue burger, which the "black" part was missing (cajun spice), but it was good. Nothing special about this place except the kilt's. It was clean, good food, and reasonable prices.
(2)Steve S.
What was right: - The very attractive girls in their kilt uniforms is the hook. - Our service was attentive, competent and cheerful. - The remodel is well done. Atmosphere is upscale sports bar. - Dozens of great draft beers served in chilled, clean pints. What can be improved: - My food should have been thrown away. I ordered the Irish dip. The beef was dry, tastless, potentially days old. The serving was skimpy. The bun was stale. The fries were greasy and limp. I didn't have high expectations for good food, but this lunch torpedoed poor. This lunch was mid-week, holiday week when TK had been packed every meal. No reason other than mis-management for having stale and tired ingredients. Recognizing that most patrons will be happy with the girls and the beer, I anticipate Tilted Kilt will continue to draw a full house in spite of my opinion of their food.
(3)Kevin H.
I've been to his bar twice.....but each time was great. They have a limited selection of wing sauces,but the "customer service" more than makes up for it. The staffing at this bar makes me want to get a job in human resources. This is a great place to watch a game, because there is always something entertaining going on. Anyhoo, good draft beer selection. Definitely recommended for a boys night out. But unfortunately the wait is usually a good 45 min.
(4)Paul F.
I had the Irish Stew, which came with a garlic roll and had a lot of corn and celery in it. As far as how it tasted, it was "okay" but not great. The waitresses were not any better than the stew. LOL But I had to try it.
(3)Cindy R.
Went here with a few friends on a Saturday night, and like the stars say, " it's a-ok"..... Nothing stood out here for me; the food was typical sports bar food, beer selection is alright, and yes the girls are in skimpy outfits..... Price wise this place is a bit high, but being near the mall that should be no surprise to anyone.....
(3)Yianni C.
Down to earth good time. If you are a female you would not appreciate what this bar/restaurant has to offer. Instead you would wish instead it's shut down by some type of agency to make it ilegal for something to this caliber. I am not even talking about the girls, the outfits, the decor and the atmosphere that it brings. That is just the cherry and whip cream on top of the ice cream. I was shocked to find out the second best place for wings after Roosters, order them more wet as a friend suggested. The flavor was great for the medium. We ordered 2 lb. The Jalapeno burger was Medium rear as I ordered it. What shocked me the most were the fries with parmesan came out hot next to my burger and very flavorful. From the drinks the Kilt shaker is really the best one there. We all tried a few other ones and we found that one had less alcohol taste. Person next to me got the philly stake sandwich which the waitress suggested and he loved it.The person in front of me got the pizza which was a little dry. They are using a cracker dough which does not go well with sauce but they need to kick up a notch something not so dry. Possibly add slices of tomatoes to mix. Waiteresses were all gain for a joke or two and that is what an experience is. Do not go there for the show, go there for the food and appreciate both. Management is quite talkative and polite and easy to talk to. I do not see any Hooters in here! All six of us were happy we came, we were saying going out the door.
(5)Zak K.
Before this place opened I got an email about it and since then I wanted to try this place out. A friend of mine and his wife went there and they said it was good so I thought I need to go, so I did last night. First off I had the meatloaf sandwich and it was fantastic. It came on a hoagie roll with bbq sauce with onion straws, and fries and was delicious, I would go to this place just for that. Then you have the wait staff which is the main draw of the place, and you can tell by all the guys that are there for that, along with the creepers. Our waitress was very nice and not too pushy: when I walked in the place I thought I would be getting a tableside lap dance and I didn't which was nice. This place is a great place to watch a game, when I was there it was the first night of NFL preseason games and there was an Indians game on as well. They have TVs everywhere and two of the hugest projection TV's I have ever seen. My only complaint would be the beer prices. I had a Coors Light draft and it was $4.50, and my wife asked for a sample of another draft beer and they charged her .50 cents, I have never seen that anywhere. Besides that this place is worth another visit and I would come back. Key things I take from this place. 1 The food was really good. 2 Great place to watch a game. 3 The people watching is amazing 4 The beer is overpriced.
(3)J D.
food was mediocre, beer selection good, but the highlights are the hotties scantily clad, nice use of plaid.
(3)Jason S.
Meh....was busy for nfl draft. Nothing special at all
(3)Jason J.
Essentially Hooters with plaid skirts and midriffs. I think the food is a bit better and more options (not just wings and variants of wings). The place is huge and has a ton of space to watch the game. The talent is always...interesting. Overall a fun spot to watch MNF with a couple buddies.
(4)Ada M.
I have been to Tilted Kilt a few different times, a few times on a Tuesday and the once on a Wednesday - all around the 8:00-11:00pm time frame. Each time it was much busier than I had anticipated. The bar experience is much different than the table experience so I'll write through each piece separately. The bar has some very talented (and very good looking) bartenders. An amazing draft selection, I marveled at trying to identify all the different types of beer. All of the bartenders are clearly experienced bartenders and very friendly although admittedly, the girls were definitely working their swagger with the men that they clearly thought would be better tippers than myself. It was actually quite hilarious to watch the girls flirt their stuff and lean over "just so" that it almost seemed like soft porn and only got irritated when I felt her flirting meant ignoring me. I ordered their wings which were nothing special but tasty enough. All in all, I liked sitting at the bar and the overload of channels to watch while mingling with both travelers for JP Morgan and locals. The time I sat at a table, I had to wait about 15 minutes for something to open up which was nice since the hostess had given us an upwards of 30 minutes to wait. Our server was nice, but rode the fine line between assertiveness and agressiveness. I ordered a simple Guinness and got the drunken clam as an appetizer. For the price, there was surprisingly a lot more clams than I expected and they were quite tasty. I ordered the Fish and Chips with veggies substituted for the Chips. This time, I was surprised again with what I got for the price only in the negative effect. The fish fillets looked only slightly larger than chicken nuggets and the veggies were drowning in oil and soggy. My date ordered a burger however which was pretty large in comparison so it leads me to believe this place is really geared more towards your typical bar fare. When it came time to pay for our tab, she forgot that our tab still needed to be transferred from the bar and then when it got closed out and she had to run it again, she encouraged us not to tip out the bartender, since they were just being greedy. Since I also work in the bar industry, I thought this was a little trite on her part and made it seem like the staff are not that close. Overall, I think the Kilt is a fun, happenin' place to be. The decor and the concept of the Scottish bar with sexy wenches definitely captures a sausage party crowd to its doors, but don't expect anything Scottish past a few select beer offerings as it's still just a sports bar with scantily clad...er kilted girls. I definitely plan to go back although I am curious to see if this place is still as busy in another year once the newness wears off.
(4)Vernon A.
I guess I am supposed to like this place because there are young women with these costume things on and sports on television. Oh, and they serve alcohol- that'll justify anything. Walked in and realized this is comically patronized by men, to the point of we should all feel stupid to be here but are obviously too stupid not to be here. Edible food. The waitress tolerated my work mates's pandering comments. Somewhat thoughtful humans would be filled with existential angst but I was hungry and the burger was reasonably good and filling; another day of assured fattness protected. As a business plan, it was assuredly a pretty easy sell far as concept and if Hooters can hang in for all these years by staffing up with make-up drenched twenty something's clad in orange shorts, why not? Why even really differentiate. I bet the loan came fast, amd they'll last for a long time. Am I cynical? Maybe, but I left pissed that I agreed to give this place any of my money. I don't want to meet any people who gave this a good review.
(1)Brad W.
The Tilted Kilt is located right next door to a Hooters which is now out of buisness. I was hoping for something more than a Hooters-type of place when I first went to the Tilted Kilt and was kinda let down. It was a bit nicer, but it still had the same sort of ideas that Hooters did with the all-girl waiters, the short shorts (only now it's kilts), and the tight tee-shirts. The food was a bit better than it was at Hooters with a little more selection on the menu, but I wasn't overly impressed. I thought the place did have a new feel in a way with the different designs, though, as Hooters seems like a tired old place in the country to me and the Tilted Kilt had more on the walls and more flair to it. The drink selection was about the same as Hooters, with a non-full bar. The place was rather crowded, although it had just opened, and it had been advertisitng big in the papers about that. It also had kind of a noisy atmosphere.
(2)Jason M.
Stopped in to the Kilt last night to watch the NFL games & grab a bite with some friends. I don't imagine I'll be back any time soon. The service was terrible. We were told it would be a 15 min wait and were still waiting 30mins later despite several empty tables that just needed cleared off. We finally just sat ourselves at a dirty table and ordered drinks from the bar. Guinness I ordered had an off taste and was poured incorrectly. The server who finally greeted us was friendly but not very knowledgeable, she'd only been working there for two weeks. I asked her to suggest another beer & she said she doesn't like beer. The venue is great for sporting events, lots of tv's. Unfortunately that's all that's great. I'd been to the Kilt shortly after it opened & it's certainly gone down hill since. The girls are friendly but the little school girl uniforms they wear aren't very flattering on some of the ladies. Bad tattoos also seem to be standard issue. The food was ok, got some nachos & a shrimp basket but it took forever and we were looking to leave by the time it arrived. For the prices they charge you would expect a better quality of food & service. Pretty much an over priced Hooters trying to masquerade as a faux Irish sports bar.
(2)Jessica H.
The uniforms are cute. I'd wear it in private for my man. As an ex-beer "brand" girl... I get it. But kind of felt the total exposure went from pushing the boundaries of fun to just a little too much around food. I have to wonder too, if there isn't some sort of OSHA or FDA health code violation with the open-toed/high heels shoes and exposed skin. Or EEOC. It just makes it dangerous and hard to work in hospitality/food service. Bar "maids" are quick and efficient. I think they could handle the crowd. The wait staff, well, let's just say we saw one sitting on some guy's lap... and for a long period of time.. not just as a joke and flirt. And a little movement. Um. Eww. The food was bleh. Nothing to write home about. Overly greasy, overly priced. Nothing unique or creative. Good craft brew selection on tap. (What I don't get is why guys attend a sausage fest with such a low eye candy to sweaty-men-packed-like-sardines-and-sitting-too-Âclose-for-comfort ratio) I was one of two women in the entire place. I get it, I get the purpose... I get the novelty. But on several factors, ew.
(1)Mike C.
Got taken here for a guys night out type thing. Won't go back if I have a choice. Let us address the 800lb gorilla in the room. There are hot girls wearing kilts here. Yes you can look at their stomach and butt and legs. Sometimes you might catch a little cleavage. However, I call them girls for a reason. I'm not sure there was any one server over the age of (very) early twenties and by my guess, a few dipped in to the teens. This is a little creepy, at least for the early 30 something crowd I was with. Yeah I understand the appeal it's just not for me. We get assigned a perky young girl who was more than a little late at taking our drink order. What about the service from our attractive young lass? I had some complaints, some her fault some not, but the most egregious one was that she knew nothing about the beer offerings from the bar. I asked for the list and at one point she mentions there is an IPA, which I ask for. What she comes back with is some kind of murky wheat ale that couldn't be farther from an IPA. I have her take it back and get me the IPA. Again she returns with the wheat. She tries once more and my heart sinks as I see the cloudy pale drink on her tray. She gives up and has us walk to the bar and point out what we want. Turns out there is no IPA, the keg was kicked long ago. We point and grunt like cavemen some beer that we want and finally get something drinkable. Fast forward to the food and it was actually good. A total saving grace from the dreaded 1 star review. My cheese steak was melty and delicious. My friend's shepherd's pie tasted great, although hard to eat due to the large cast iron pot it was served in.
(2)Nate N.
Came here for a work function, and Monday night football. Waitresses were good, beer selection was good and the food was very good. There are huge TVs everywhere, so there is always something to look at. Newer place, so it is pretty clean. You pay a little bit for the scenery, but is fairly priced. Come EAT & ENJOY. Worth the time and effort for a sports bar guy/girl.
(4)Michelle S.
Many ladies on these review posts make it sound HORRIBLE as if men are in there to get laid and sexually harass every female in the rstaurant....and many men on here exagerrate as if it's the play boy mansion with dime models. It's NONE of that. It's a restaurant with okay food, sports on TV, and girls showing some skin. The skirt isn'tthat short so it's not like their ass is showing although many men probably wish it was lol. Honestly, the waitresses looked AVERAGE at best. There was about one girl that was pretty attractive and her boobs were distracting because they were so big and pushed up lol, I'm not a lesbian but it's right there and it's hard to not notice. But yeah, it's not as terrible as you'd think. People seem to concentrate on their food, the TV, and talk. You see a lot of men but I don't see many of them acting like dogs. There are also a good handful of ladies in the restaurant too that are dining in. People keep saying it has more class than Hooters...but I don't see too much of a difference. I ordered the barbecue pulled pork, it was alright. My bf ordered the burger, just okay. The french fries were really good though cuz I liked the garlic seasoning.

A sports bar Hooters with kilts on instead. We decided to give it a go and well.......we came we ate we ain't going back in all probability. We were seated and waited and waited till we hailed a passing bloke in a kilt and asked him who was our server and where might they be? Turned out she was outside on the patio taking an extended break and didn't even know she had "customers" . Hubs had fish tacos which weren't too bad and I had a side salad to go along with my fish and chips. Ok, first time in my life I've had square fish with fish and chips! They looked liked Mrs. Paul's frozen fish fillets that had been dunked in batter and fried up. C'mon!!! I suppose if you want a brew while watching a game this is an ok spot. I guess.

I know I'm a woman who is reviewing this place but I'm not here to talk about how these waitresses are dressed: I want to talk about the TERRIBLE SERVICE. My two friends and I went there and were told we had to wait a minute for them to clean off a table. Okay, this place wasn't even that packed. Finally we were seated and we were literally sitting there for ten minutes and NO ONE came to ask us for drink orders or to even acknowledge we were there. I understand these waitresses probably get the majority of their tips from men but seriously. We were there to eat and drink a few beers which would have resulted in a good tip even though we are women. We walked out after realizing no one was going to come serve us and one of the waitresses asked us if we were leaving and when we said yes because no one would serve us she said "oh sorry." Where was the manager? Why didn't anyone try to stop us? I'm sorry that's just bad service and I will definitely not be coming back. If you're looking for a good pub, definitely check out Polaris Pub because it's close by and the food is probably ten times better.

I have been to Tilted Kilt a few different times, a few times on a Tuesday and the once on a Wednesday - all around the 8:00-11:00pm time frame. Each time it was much busier than I had anticipated. The bar experience is much different than the table experience so I'll write through each piece separately. The bar has some very talented (and very good looking) bartenders. An amazing draft selection, I marveled at trying to identify all the different types of beer. All of the bartenders are clearly experienced bartenders and very friendly although admittedly, the girls were definitely working their swagger with the men that they clearly thought would be better tippers than myself. It was actually quite hilarious to watch the girls flirt their stuff and lean over "just so" that it almost seemed like soft porn and only got irritated when I felt her flirting meant ignoring me. I ordered their wings which were nothing special but tasty enough. All in all, I liked sitting at the bar and the overload of channels to watch while mingling with both travelers for JP Morgan and locals. The time I sat at a table, I had to wait about 15 minutes for something to open up which was nice since the hostess had given us an upwards of 30 minutes to wait. Our server was nice, but rode the fine line between assertiveness and agressiveness. I ordered a simple Guinness and got the drunken clam as an appetizer. For the price, there was surprisingly a lot more clams than I expected and they were quite tasty. I ordered the Fish and Chips with veggies substituted for the Chips. This time, I was surprised again with what I got for the price only in the negative effect. The fish fillets looked only slightly larger than chicken nuggets and the veggies were drowning in oil and soggy. My date ordered a burger however which was pretty large in comparison so it leads me to believe this place is really geared more towards your typical bar fare. When it came time to pay for our tab, she forgot that our tab still needed to be transferred from the bar and then when it got closed out and she had to run it again, she encouraged us not to tip out the bartender, since they were just being greedy. Since I also work in the bar industry, I thought this was a little trite on her part and made it seem like the staff are not that close. Overall, I think the Kilt is a fun, happenin' place to be. The decor and the concept of the Scottish bar with sexy wenches definitely captures a sausage party crowd to its doors, but don't expect anything Scottish past a few select beer offerings as it's still just a sports bar with scantily clad...er kilted girls. I definitely plan to go back although I am curious to see if this place is still as busy in another year once the newness wears off.

I guess I am supposed to like this place because there are young women with these costume things on and sports on television. Oh, and they serve alcohol- that'll justify anything. Walked in and realized this is comically patronized by men, to the point of we should all feel stupid to be here but are obviously too stupid not to be here. Edible food. The waitress tolerated my work mates's pandering comments. Somewhat thoughtful humans would be filled with existential angst but I was hungry and the burger was reasonably good and filling; another day of assured fattness protected. As a business plan, it was assuredly a pretty easy sell far as concept and if Hooters can hang in for all these years by staffing up with make-up drenched twenty something's clad in orange shorts, why not? Why even really differentiate. I bet the loan came fast, amd they'll last for a long time. Am I cynical? Maybe, but I left pissed that I agreed to give this place any of my money. I don't want to meet any people who gave this a good review.

The Tilted Kilt is located right next door to a Hooters which is now out of buisness. I was hoping for something more than a Hooters-type of place when I first went to the Tilted Kilt and was kinda let down. It was a bit nicer, but it still had the same sort of ideas that Hooters did with the all-girl waiters, the short shorts (only now it's kilts), and the tight tee-shirts. The food was a bit better than it was at Hooters with a little more selection on the menu, but I wasn't overly impressed. I thought the place did have a new feel in a way with the different designs, though, as Hooters seems like a tired old place in the country to me and the Tilted Kilt had more on the walls and more flair to it. The drink selection was about the same as Hooters, with a non-full bar. The place was rather crowded, although it had just opened, and it had been advertisitng big in the papers about that. It also had kind of a noisy atmosphere.

Stopped in to the Kilt last night to watch the NFL games & grab a bite with some friends. I don't imagine I'll be back any time soon. The service was terrible. We were told it would be a 15 min wait and were still waiting 30mins later despite several empty tables that just needed cleared off. We finally just sat ourselves at a dirty table and ordered drinks from the bar. Guinness I ordered had an off taste and was poured incorrectly. The server who finally greeted us was friendly but not very knowledgeable, she'd only been working there for two weeks. I asked her to suggest another beer & she said she doesn't like beer. The venue is great for sporting events, lots of tv's. Unfortunately that's all that's great. I'd been to the Kilt shortly after it opened & it's certainly gone down hill since. The girls are friendly but the little school girl uniforms they wear aren't very flattering on some of the ladies. Bad tattoos also seem to be standard issue. The food was ok, got some nachos & a shrimp basket but it took forever and we were looking to leave by the time it arrived. For the prices they charge you would expect a better quality of food & service. Pretty much an over priced Hooters trying to masquerade as a faux Irish sports bar.
(2)Lori R.
We had dinner there last night! The fish and chips were awesome! And the whiskey beef off the Hoppy Hour menu was so tender! As always, had the Irish nachos. That is a must order! Our server was great and so sweet!
(5)Angela H.
This place is worth a visit for the experience alone. On a Saturday night, the place is easily 80% males there to see the servers dressed up in cute little plaid skirts and belly-baring shirts. There's also a ton of TVs around which makes this place great to watch sports. Try to get a table away from the kitchen unless you really enjoy the smell of sauerkraut. It was overpowering. Other than that, the food is good, beer is good, service is interesting, but it gets really really busy and loud most nights.
(3)Robert M.
I can see why the Hooters next door went out of business. The food here is great! The waitresses are exceptional. I guess plaid won over orange.
(5)Ryan D.
I'm not sure what more to say other than, AWESOME! Food was excellent beyond my expectations, I had the boneless wings which had the best tangy buffalo sauce I have tasted in years! We also tried some sort of cabbage egg roll looking appetizers and they were just excellent as well! The service was amazing and they have a full bar with an excellent selection. The scenery is also a good reason to visit as well, there is always something to look at while your at the tilted kilt! I can't recommend this place enough, go eat there. Hopefully they will keep the level of service going!
(5)Kaushik J.
Overpriced and not great taste!
(2)Jeremy H.
There is nothing worse than working hard for the man all day long, dealing with the sausage fest at work and at my clients due to being employed in a technologically advanced field, and then going out to dinner and having some dude stand over my shoulder serving my food and drinks to me with their "I should be an investment banker not a server" attitude and having to look at his ugly unshaven hipster face while trying to relax, unwind, and get a bite of food. If this is your lot in life then the Tilted Kilt is your answer. Insecure girls should avoid this establishment and skip reviewing...we understand you are threatened by any woman who gets more attention than you and since you're obviously not working here, there is no point for you to go to this restaurant, if you do there is no reason to complain on Yelp that the men at your table forgot your existed during the dining period. You have been warned. With that being said I don't understand all the hate towards the Kilt. It is obviously one of the most popular restaurants in town why else would you need to wait an hour or two for a table during dinner hours every night of the week? The suits from Chase Bank behind the Kilt tend to fill it up during the lunch hour so if you're going for lunch, like dinner, go early if you want a seat. Obviously the crowding makes this place a bad choice if you're going to walk in with a group of 10 at 7pm and expect a seat before 9pm. COME EARLY! I'll admit, I never ever went to Hooters for the food...it sucks...the wings are small, terrible, and expensive and everything on the menu is overpriced and tastes like it came from a vending machine. Unlike Hooters the food at The Tilted Kilt is actually very good, and well priced, not to mention their menu is about 4x the size of Hooters. On top of that the cast members outfits make the Hooter's girl outfits seem somewhat conservative...so this can be good or bad depending on your views, marital status, or manliness. The drunken clams on the appetizer menu were awesome and very plentiful and fairly cheap. The wings here are cooked perfect, the sauce is great, and you get a lot--they are better than Hooters or BW's wings but Hoggy's wings still reign supreme in Columbus. As far as entrees go, the Sloppy Jane is pretty good and very Irish tasting. The fries here are excellent, similar in size to McDonalds but more flavor. My wife loved the Shepherd's Pie, said it was one of the best she's had anywhere. The Fish and Chips are extremely good too ranking up there with the Rusty Bucket. Fat Bastard's Meatloaf sandwich was okay, but lacked flavor, Northstar has a better meatloaf sandwich. My kids loved the pizza, not bad for an Irish restaurant but not as good as you can get at Papa Johns or Planks or your other favorite pizza restaurant. I look forward to trying more items on the menu. The service here is top notch, most of the girls are very young and intelligent young ladies just trying to make it through life with what they've been dealt. Many of them are in school paying for their education on their own, some of them working more than one job in our community to support themselves and their children. I commend them on taking advantage of their natural beauty to get ahead in life without giving into the sleaziness and other negative aspects associated with stripping--this should be respected that they didn't take the easy route for more money as not every girl is born into a wealthy family where they can be a hipster with a trust fund, some have to bust their ass to get by so while these girls are scantily clad, be respectful as if it were your sister or friend. The drinks at the bar are priced very well, probably some of the cheapest at Polaris. Add in all the HDTV's and you've got yourself and awesome sports bar. The music is loud but not loud enough to where it is obnoxious. I enjoy the Tilted Kilt and there's no reason you can't either, give it a try but like I said...it's popular so go early to get seated!
(5)Brandon B.
Okay, I will skip the obvious reasons as to why I love this place and get to what seriously actually does matter and that's good food and service. I personally don't have a complaint. I like the food. I also like the drinks here, especially their own speciality mixed drinks. Yes it can be a little expensive and I only received terribly slow service ONE time but everyone was extremely apologetic and nice about it. Hey stuff happens and if you recognize and own it, you're forgiven. There's a good mix of traditional American food as well as some native Scottish/Irish dishes both traditional and with an American twist. In summary, I wouldn't plan on spending hours here drinking and looking at boobs or you will regret the final bill more than a night out at an actual strip club BUT it's great for dinner and a drink with some plaid puppies on the side.

Absolutely loved the Tilted Kilt. My best friend and I walked in on a Wednesday to a nearly empty restaurant. We were seated and promptly greeted by a bubbly young and beautiful server named Alli. She was so genuinely personable and kind. Alli offered great drink and menu suggestions, all of which were spot on for what we had in mind. We were nearly the only women in the entire restaurant with the exception of the staff. We drank Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale on draught, which was delcious and had hot pretzels with warm beer cheese dip. The sandwiches we had were HUGE and both my friend and I took half of ours home. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, lots of Celtic memorabilia with tons of different sports team apparel too. There's a "juke box" with a wide variety of music. A huge bar with tons of draught and bottle beer options. Lots of delicious liquor, including an obvious favorite Jameson. All around awesome experience because of the atmosphere and our awesome server, Alli. Our trip to the Kilt was very much worth the hour and a half trip. Can't wait to go back again.

Horrible music, waitresses dressed like strippers, huge televisions. This Bloody Mary should not be this colour. What's not to love?
(1)Chris D.
I live in NY, but moved to Columbus and we don't have any places like this at all. It puts hooters to shame if you're looking for that kind of "eye candy." They wear really short skirts (kilts) and not much on top. A short white top and push up bra is what all the servers, who are all females are wearing. The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was prepared very nicely and to my liking. The tap beer was at a great temperature and the appetizers were done well too. Just good bar food.
(4)Bill M.
Only been there once so far, but the first time was good. We decided to finally try this place after a promotion with the Columbus Curling Club (search for that here on yelp) NIce place, it might be cliche to say its a high class hooters, but I know I've heard it said. Service was good, nice clean place - I had the meatloaf sandwich that came with a very good Guiness BBQ sauce and my wife had Fish and Chips. Cost was modeerate, but in line with others. We will go back and try more stuff. The menu was huge.

My Sunday afternoon travels 'round Columbus' outerbelt found me driving into the Polaris Fashion Mall area. After a short walk-about in Best Buy (does anyone else find today's tech to be boring?), I fired up the Chevy and road over to Sancus Road. Claddaugh? Nope, I was lured to the infamous plaid skirt kingdom of Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery. My first reaction was one of surprise. The restaurant has a nice layout and is very large. Big dining room area with plentiful HDTV service all around. The centrally located bar area is a biggie, too, and is a big rectangular place to sit so you're facing patrons on the other side, something I always find nice (but plenty of distance 'cross the bartender's domain). And there is a smaller dining area to compliment overall presentation. Bathroom review. The MEN's was clean, spacious and sink areas spotless. I find bathrooms are always a reflection on management so good on yah mate for having a clean oasis. Sitting at the bar I was greeted by Kristin who was very pleasant and helpful. The menu was standard pub food listing burgers as the mainstay and partnered with flatbread pizza. Their specials were focused on the pizzas - different combos of meats, cheeses and veggies. I asked for for the Tilted Kilt large garden salad with grilled chicken breast (not listed on the menu for the standard salad) and Kristin was happy to oblige. I like any restaurant that does the little things. Again, HDTVs were everywhere. The servers' garb - not much of a distraction even with short skirties and white blouses tide midriff. Less "in your face" than Hooters and their presentations. So I got past that portion of the Tilted Kilt's reputation pretty fast. All else was good. I would meet friends, guys & gals, at the Tilted Kilt for sports on TV and some drafts. Sure would.

REVIEW OF MY FANTASY DRAFT THAT WE DID ON 8-23-2013 We arrived and were shown to our area where tables had been reserved for us. We also were given a 12 team draft board despite our team being 16 teams so the board was not able to be used. After being shown to our area we were asked if we wanted anything to drink and then the waitress left and we did not see her again for about 20 minutes. In the meantime I was stressed out because I didn't know how we were going to plug in our laptops as the tables given to us were not near an outlet. I asked the hostess to get John, the GM, and was told he was busy but they would see if they could find him. After waiting about another 10 minutes or so I took matters into my own hands and moved all the back room tables all over the place to setup our tables near the only outlet I could find in the back room. At about 8:15pm we finally got our drinks and I asked where our server was that had been assigned to us. After a few minutes I was told she was not coming in and that the waitress who had served us when we arrived would be our server. As people began to arrive I realized that we would need more outlets so I asked our server for an extension cord with a power cord. She said she wasn't sure if they had one or not and then she disappeared and never came back. Many of the people in our party could not utilize the wi-fi, the signal was too weak. I had them instead use my phones 4G connection. We spent nearly the full 30 minutes before the draft scrambling to get connectivity. I have eaten at the restaurant many times and the wi-fi is good but this is the first time being in the back room so I suspect you may need a repeater for your wi-fi to better extend the signal back there. But getting back to our service, throughout the night our service was not terrible but was also not all that great either. Sometimes just when I was about to get angry that we had not seen our waitress in a long time she would appear so it was fairly borderline. My nephew also ordered boneless wings and they were forgotten when the food came out, he told the waitress and it took about another 30 minutes to get his wings (for a total of about an hour wait). I recall being told we would have our own server and she would just be waiting on us and that was definitely not the case. And it wasn't because we didn't have a big enough party either, we ended up having 9 people show up for the draft. I will say though that aside from my nephews experience we all got served the right food after we ordered it and the food was really good tasting in my experience and there were no complaints about any of the food that I know of. If you recall I had asked John to come out at the start of the draft. I'm not criticizing John here as maybe he never got the message but not once throughout the night did he or anyone else come out to check on how things were going or to welcome us for having our draft party there. All in all things weren't going too terribly bad, although I wasn't exactly happy with the service or how the pre-draft setup went...but then the checks came. The only discount applied on anyones check was half off boneless wings for my nephew. I had gotten regular wings and was charged full price. There was no discernible discount on the beer either. None of our appetizers were discounted. I asked others to look at their bills and some just paid and left despite them telling me they got no discounts. I was not happy and asked why I had not received 50% off my wings. I was told that discount was only for boneless wings. That was simply not true as when we placed our reservation Tilted Kilt I don't believe even had boneless wings. I argued for a bit with the waitress and told her the beer was also incorrectly showing on the bill. I was told we would have $2 Miller Lite drafts and I had 3 beers but yet I was showing $9 total, not $6. The waitress commented that she would get John. John came out and told us we were getting a price break on the beer, that it had been $4.50 and had been marked down recently to $3. Even so, if they had been marked down to $3 that was the regular price for everyone, we weren't gettin any discount. And I knew that was no correct as Tilted Kilt, I don't believe anyways, charges $4.50 for a regular Miller Lite (the regular glass, NOT the tall boy glass). Every bar I've been to has the tall boy draft beer for $4.50. I told John I simply was not paying that and that I was very unhappy and after a bit of going back and forth he agreed to honor the price for me. In conclusion Tilted Kilt needs to do like BW3's and offer a dedicated waitress, provide support for setup and honor their pre-draft promises on specials. Also, we shouldn't have had to ask for the MPV cards and never got our trophy either.
(2)Kel S.
Food was mediocre. Great beer selection. Do not get the Gaelic chicken, it was so horribly over sauced. It was more a soup.
(3)Kelsie P.
Cool atmosphere, sat outside and they had a nice patio. We got a couple appetizers. Food was what you'd expect, good bar food. Service was perfect. Our server sammy (not sure how she spelled it) was quick and attentive and really friendly.
(5)Heather G.
Fish and chips was excellent, but do not order the shepherd's pie. The pie was all potatoes on the bottom, dry beef and no gravy with crunchy carrots.
(3)Keith B.
Holy titties mcgee! Just kidding. I've been here a few times, and what I've noticed: it doesn't matter if it's slow, the table service sucks. The food is varying on a level from "OMG WOW DELISH" (the fried sausage sandwich thing) to "I paid for this?" (a wrap I ordered). What I've determined is I no longer waste time sitting at a table (I've only been here solo, oddly enough) - and only sit at the bar. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and every time I go it seems everyone avoids the bar like the plague. The staff seems so all over the map, though, but the bartenders at lunch/early evening have been consistently good.
(4)Steve P.
I met two of my friends here for drinks and a late dinner on a Saturday night and it was a great atmosphere for a guys night. If you know how the wait staff dresses, you will understand that this is a guys' bar. I would not take my wife, nor my children here. Apparently, some people do. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. We had a waitress named Anna that did a great job of making sure we enjoyed ourselves, our beer, and our food. Good service goes a long way, but the outfits don't hurt either! Lots of craft beers on draft, but also a wide beer selection in general. I ordered the black bean rollup and they also have a black bean burger (vegetarian). My rollup and the fries were really good, but the rollup was spicier than I expected. I think I drank about 5 glasses of water along with my beers. My friends both ordered something different and both enjoyed their meals as well. I would recommend this place for a night out with the guys, whether you're getting dinner, watching the game, or just want a fun atmosphere with beautiful women serving you.
(4)Alex B.
Amazing food...not that most people come there for the food anyway :P This place beats Hooters, hands down. Every single waitress here is gorgeous. They serve you well, are amazingly personable and often sit down to talk with you (weekdays when I go - this may be different during peak hours). I am sad this is the only Kilt in Columbus, as I have to drive almost a half hour to get here. But I'm more than wiling to do it. Any franchisees willing to open one in the Hilliard or Dublin area? :)
(5)Brian F.
I just wasn't too impressed with this place at all. The wait staff was nice, but it just felt awkward making conversation with them. The beer selection was pretty good, but I felt the beer was a little overpriced. I will say that it was cool that they had 1/2 price appetizers on a Saturday night. I got the Spinach-Artichoke dip, which was fine but nothing special. I also finished it and had a ton of chips left. My friends got the garlic fries, which were very tasty, and at $2.00 (when they're half off)...that's a very good value! Other than that, there just isn't much that would make me want to come back here.
(2)Will P.
No really, come for the FOOD ;) I admit I came to see if girls were really wearing little skirts and short shirts with cleavage. To my surprise the food was very good. First time I went I had the bacon cheeseburger. I was a very quality burger, almost as good as my favorite Red Robin Burger. The second time around I had wings. these were also flavorful and a good portion size. The sweet potato fries are just awesome. Tvs are everywhere and best part of all they show UFC ppv events! I will definitely go again, FOR THE FOOD!
(4)Mike G.
OMG! This place has something for everyone. Short version: This place has good food and lots of visual appeal. First of all there are some pretty scantily dressed girls working here. A few are cute, most are very average. They flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt and flirt with the guys. Sometimes you see them sitting on a guys lap. The guys eat that up. This is OK to watch, it doesn't go too far, just a bit of fun. The girls are really cool, fun and upbeat. Second of all, this place is one huge sausage fest. There were maybe 7 or 8 girls in the entire restaurant besides employees. I'd guess their customers are probably 98% post work, getting their drink on, large framed, 20's to middle aged white guys. You just can't go wrong with that. It gives the place plenty of visual interest. It certainly adds to the dining experience here. Thirdly, I've been here a few times with some of my girl friends from work. The first time we were there, our server Danae recommended the Gaelic Chicken. What? Gaelic? Wow! All of us are Gaelic, so we just had to go for it. We were not disappointed. Huge portion of meat and potatos, and just the right amount of gravy. I ate half, had the rest for dinner the next day. It's two decent sized chicken breasts with mashed potatoes with Jameson's and garlic mixed in....sooooo gooood. It's a perfect dish for a cold night. Comfort food, pure and simple. If that doesn't do it for you, their menu is pretty good sized. So if Gaelic Chicken isn't your thing, burgers, quesadillas, pastas, steaks, you know...pub grub, you'll find something. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely horrible service. I just wrote a review for the King of Prussia Tilted Kilt on Saturday and it was awesome. Well, I'm back in Ohio and this one is horrific for service. The food was very good. The beer was great. The service was the worst I've ever had. Sydney was our server and she was inattentive, disinterested, and somewhat rude. This review is so sad because I had such a great experience just two days before in King of Prussia, PA. Sydney was too busy chatting and sitting with a couple younger boys who were pouring liquor from a flask into their coke cups. I actually had to leave my table and go to the bar for a refill on my beer. She then disappeared outside with two other younger guys for 20 minutes. When she finally returned, she asked me where I got my beer and I told her I had to go to the bar for a refill. She said, "well I don't have eyes on the back of my head". This place was a joke. I complained to the manager, but I'm thinking not much will be done to correct the issue. Sad.
(1)Patrick P.
I know I will go here because it is involved in my gauntlet of pubs on the northside when in CBus. The place is always crowded and known as the McHooters (It is right beside a Hooters). The waitresses are nice and the beer cold. The only knock I have is the food. It is not the best so I eat somewhere else. The beer on tap is more limited but still a great time. If you have not experienced it - do it (atleast for the experience).
(3)Chris V.
Quite possibly the worst nachos on the face of the earth....comparable to a walking taco at the local high school concession stand. Not sure what was worse...the burnt smell or the boxed cheese! 2 dudes behind the bar at a Tilted Kilt??? Skip this place...
(1)Daniel N.
It is what it is. This place is a bit more intense than a Hooters as far as attire, but the waitresses were much less pushy and in your face, so that may be good or bad based on your preference. The beer selection was great, and lots of food choices as well.
(3)Steven G.
Unfortunately I didn't have good service on this Tuesday afternoon. Although the place was fairly empty, my server didn't show up for about 10 minutes before she took my drink order. She seemed a little scatterbrained to say the least. No amount of bare midriffs, cleavage, or short skirts can make up for poor service. My Southwest chicken wrap was adequate, but the tabasco on my table was empty. And getting another bottle took another several minutes. If you go for the waitress eye candy, the hostess was the best of the bunch. Overall, a mediocre experience to say the least. I hope others around the country are a notch above this one.
(2)Mel S.
We went to the Tilted Kilt to watch the OSU v. Michigan game. We have been to many bars around Columbus to watch the OSU football and for the most part, service has always been horrible. On Saturday, we had a table of about 14 people and our server was Alex. The service was not only the best we have ever had on a game day, but our server made it even more fun. To top it off, they have good bar food and great drinks. You can also sit anywhere and see a TV. We will definitely be back again!
(5)Liz M.
So, Tilted Kilt would have gotten 3 stars from me until we got our bill and I saw I was charged and not told I'd be charged for being given a 'taste' of a draught beer. Beware, it is 50 cents for a taste! I've never heard of such a thing, unless you're at a beer tasting and you pay for that. Otherwise, it was packed full for the Buckeye game last Saturday and we had a table of about 15, which two girls handled very well. Never were we neglected and all needs were met with a smile. The girls are eager to keep beer after beer coming. Probably because they are priced at the top of the range for beer at a restaurant/bar $4.75-$6 range from what I can tell. $4.75 Newcastle-$6 black and tan. We ordered the TK Irish Nachos, which were potato chips with cheese sauce beef and tomatoes that was over all funky tasting from the strange cheese sauce that went without description in the menu. The chips were great. Get a basket of those for $2.99 vs. $6.99 for the weird nachos. Others at the table enjoyed entrees and apps, a cheesy chicken dish looked tasty. Overall it was a fun atmosphere. Everyone was having a good time, and that's what it comes down to. I wouldn't suggest coming here because there are a lot of bars with cheaper beer and better food (4st St. Patio, Easton Sports Club), but I wouldn't put up a fight if my friends invited me again. I just will never get a 'taste' of a beer again.

This place is really a lot of fun to go to. It's loud and there is usually a wait but the food is pretty decent, the beer is pretty decent and the atmosphere is also pretty decent. I did not realize that this place was going to have as many TVs as it did with lots of sports games running, so that was a pleasant surprise. In fact, this bar would be a really great spot to go to if you want to go just for a game or two as their food is above average bar food. I had the corned beef and cabbage and I would definitely have that again the next time I go back. They have Murphy's stout, along with all of the other Irish beer staples but I usually stop looking at what a place has to drink once I see Murphy's stout. It's not on draft but finding Murphy's stout on draft anywhere that's not in New England is a rarity. The server we had was quite good and attentive. They all wear the same outfit that makes bikini's seem conservative but I was totally fine with that. That element isn't the most family friendly element but you're probably not taking your kids to a sports bar with boob servers either. All in all, It's worth going to on a routine basis if you live out there.

Terrible staff! Sat at the table for over 10 min and not one of the 4 servers who walked by multiple times bother to stop or even smile ! Awful! Can't comment on the food because I'm still hungry!!

The short version: like Hooters but with better food and cuter girls. Neither is the kind of place I go often, but some friends wanted to go here so we tried it out. The service was good, and all the servers were attractive. Between them and the multiple TVs you'll always have something to watch. The music was a bit loud but not so bad you couldn't hear conversations. The food was decent. I got the chili- thick, but bland. Calamari: properly cooked, not chewy, but underseasoned. A little salt and pepper, at least, would help. The marinara sauce was bland too; at least there was a bottle of hot sauce on the table to kick it up. Others at the table got burgers and salads, and said they were good. Couldn't sample the beer selection because I was on the way to work, but they had a few things that were tempting.

Today I ate lunch at with two friends, Cliff and Kathy at The Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery on Polaris. This was my second visit to the Kilt, having eaten there one time previously with Cliff. On the first visit several weeks ago Cliff and I both had wings with Kilburn Sauce and fell in love with them. Today's visit I ordered the Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Cliff ordered the Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips Kathy ordered the Danny Boy Shepherds Pie I asked for a side of their signatory Kilburn sauce to use as a dip for my fries, Cliff asked to try the Kilburn Mayo, (Both our requests were accommodated.) In the interests of a fair and balanced review the three of us each sampled one another s dishes. Scottish Cheese Steak with Fries Fries were fresh and crispy, the Cheese Steak was mediocre. The side of Kilburn sauce was a nice addition. Overall verdict Average. Maggie Mae's Fish and Chips When the dish first came out, we were alarmed at the seemingly small size of the portion. Upon complaining to the waitress, Cliff was given another three pieces of the fish for an additional $3.00. The flavor and freshness of the fish more than compensated for the initial shock we had over portion size. The batter was crispy and fresh and the fish was light and flaky the way good fish should be. Overall Verdict Excellent, Tasty but Small Portion Danny Boy Shepherds Pie A tasty and satisfying rendition of traditional Shepherds pie, somewhat peppery which suited me although unusually Cliff found it slightly over peppered. The dish was made simple and fresh as it should of been without over complicating the flavors. A solid choice for the meat and potato fanatic. Overall verdict Good depending on palette. The Waitress was kind enough to give us some Kilburn sauce to go after we asked if it was available for sale. unfortunately the sauce is not sold as a to go item.

Beer n food way over priced.... Staff not friendly, management even less friendly. Owners made huge profit first 1.5 years, now do not care about customers. Sad, they will close in 1 to 2 years because of poor customer service. Very sad..
(1)Sean R.
Stopped in for a late lunch. Katie was great and helped a first timer pick out the perfect food and drink for a hot day. I've heard some refer to this as hooters-esque and I couldn't disagree more. I didn't feel like this place was selling "sexy." The food was quite good and everyone we spoke with, employee and patron was very friendly. Isn't that what you want in a pub atmosphere?
(4)Mike D.
You know Hooter's? Yeah, it's Hooter's. Don't be shocked by the skimpy outfits, high heels, and suggestive manner of (some of) the waitstaff. There, now you know what you're getting into. They have a basic pub/grill menu, burgers and sandwiches of various sorts. I had a burger and it was pretty good for the price. The garlic fries weren't worth trying. It's definitely not somewhere I'd put into my regular rotation of restaurants (hey, I've been to Hooter's a grand total of one, too, but didn't even like the food), but if someone wanted to go I wouldn't be against it.

After a few people we know convinced us this place wasnt as slutty as it seems we gave it a shot. Lunch hour, no one was there. Ok..a bit akward. A few older creepy men were there and some -not so attractive- waitress sporting the skimpy mini and rolled-into-their-bra white shirt. Granted, this outfit is amazingly sexy on the right girl, but HORRIBLE on the wrong ones. These girls just looked like crack whores in training. Really nice though, I feel bad voicing my opinion on this one. We told her we never been there before and she sat down next to my husband and leaned in and read the menu to him. I felt so bad for him. The poor man kept looking at me with this pained expression like 'is this ok...why the 'f' is she doing this?! How do I get her to stand up?!" I just laughed. It was too amusing to just sit there and ignore him. The waitress was a bit confused, but since I didn't look her in the eyes once the whole night I couldn't care less. In my opinion, if you wear the outfit of a slut then you are a slut. It's like a guy wearing a cop uniform but not being a cop. Despite the awkward staff uniforms and our wonderful time checking the girls out to laugh at them & come up with retarded reasons for why they might have chosen to work at a place like this we were reminded (a friend of ours who recommended this place to us) that this place is cultural....not skanky. SO I digress. (Back East no one buy snot noised old men would go here to gawk) The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really tasty! The burger came out how I asked for it and the waitress was attentive to us. The sweet baby rays bbq sauce is what i use at home but it was infused with guniess which was a nice treat! Jalepeno inferno burger was ok. white chocolate and mac nut cookie w/ ice cream was 'nomnomnom' gone in 5 mins. So to wrap it up...skankier outfit make good conversation. I couldn't look them in the eyes I was so awkward. (this coming from a girl who went to Hooters all the time back home) but the food was very very good and the staff is really nice. Too bad they had to ruin the outfits with girls who couldn't fill them out better. I just hate the types of people this kind of place brings. I cant speak for Columbus but back home no one but creeps would go a place like this. At least this place seemed 'ok'

This was my first time eating here and the food was fantastic. My visit with and service from Maria was a good as it gets. I was waiting for someone and they ended up being at another table. lol Maria was also very gracious too. Mr. Butch
(5)Rachel N Erik F.
NOPE! Came here two nights in a row. First night had horrible service at the rail section. Came back the next night for college football and the service was pretty good. Until the servers changed. Meika was good however, Jen was awful! Checked on us twice in an hour. Even worse though, NONE of the other staff checked on us. Walked right by as if we weren't there. I held up both empty glasses and nothing! Tilted Kilt you have lost my patronage. Not my fault, I was very open to reason but you blew it. NEVER GOING TO ANOTHER ONE, EVER...
(1)Brad S.
So, wifey and I went here yesterday on a whim expecting some Hooters knockoff and we were ecstatic that this place didn't meet those expectations in any way shape or form. Tilted Kilt blows Hooters out of the water and may become one of my favorite sports bars in Columbus. It lacks the chintzy/trashy feel of Hooters and the stuffiness/pretentiousness of Claddagh and lifts its kilt and gives both of those places a taunting wiggle. I was shocked at how good the wings were - I ordered them "grilled" and with the hottest sauce they offered (not really that hot at all, but really, really tasty) - I had never had grilled wings before and they were a nice change of pace from the breaded monstrosities at Roosters and the teeny-tiny coated-in-shellac "wings" at B-Dubs. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, which was giant and came loaded with cole slaw. The price is right, too - I got about 8 giant wings with an ample helping of fries for a total of $9.99. At B-Dubs, wings alone cost $8.50 (for 12, which equals about 8 Tilted Kilt-sized wings), plus if you want a side like fries or buffalo chips or potato wedges, you can easily drop another $4 (if you want cheese). Other menu offerings included appetizers like nachos and cheese fries, and entrees like burgers, pizzas, and wraps. The food really is phenomenal - several steps above your average bar fare. The service was great for how busy they were for NFL Sunday - our server was very cute and very talkative, but not annoyingly so. (At least she didn't sit down at the table with us like she did at the dude-filled table next to us. A liiiittle awkward.) I'm kind of baffled that other reviewers think too much skin is on display here - it's basically like a high school Halloween party. I saw a lot of tramp stamps and a flash of two of cleavage, but mostly bare midriffs, which you see on any trip to any mall between the months of May and September. The restaurant itself is pretty standard appearance-wise - some "Irish" touches here and there (like various flags and dark wood finishes), but the draw is the TVs - more TVs than you can comprehend, really - and there's also a couple giant projection screens. The bar area is really cool and has a couple "outlier" areas that are still technically part of the bar - so you can still feel like you're sitting at the bar without rubbing elbows with the 350-pound dude squeezed into a Barry Sanders jersey from 1988 that he last fit into when he was 14. Beer selection isn't anything to write home about - mostly domestics on tap, with seasonal Bell's and Great Lakes offerings - but I'm sure you'll manage to find something palatable. Give it a shot - it's a good time, and it's not just for dudes. There were several females in here yesterday, and a lot of families with young'uns, too. (I also noticed that they show live UFC events, so my going-to-Bdubs ritual for the fights may have come to an end.)
(4)Jen S.
Went in on a Sunday afternoon for a few pints and I will certainly not return. The beer selection is not great and the bartender did not know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness. If you can't pour it right, don't bother serving it. This is not really a pub, more an overly themed sports bar with crappy service provided by rude and ridiculously unprofessional servers. Don't get me wrong, I will happily chit chat with the servers and bartenders, but I don't need to hear all of your personal drama about your divorces, failed relationships and how you wish you could just find someone to take care of you. Sorry, I came in to relax, not to have to listen to that crap. If you want a good tip, do a good job. We were in such a rush to get out there, we only ate an order of fries and went elsewhere to finish our afternoon out. I would suggest any of the other pubs in the area over this place for sure. I know the appeal of this place is supposed to be the ladies, but from my husband and I saw that day, they are not so picky as they were when they first opened from what I have heard.

It's like Applebees, with boobs! A friend and I decided to go here for lunch because one of his friends loves it. By the end of the meal, neither of us knew why. Checkpoints: * Mixed service experience. Our first waitress was pretty cool, but she went on a break and was replaced by a horrible one. We had to get our own drink refills. * Bad food. I had a turkey burger and would have preferred almost anything else. It was the blandest, densest chunk of pressed turkey meat I've ever had. My friend had a chicken sandwich that was nearly as processed. * The number of ho tags was impressive. (Is that not PC? Do we say "tramp stamps" now?) * Cheap. Two huge sandwiches and tons of fries for $20. Not bad. * Decent beer choices. * Those aren't kilts; they're skirts. Summary: If you want boobs, get Cinemax. If you want decent food, go to any of the other restaurants in the area. If you want _both_ and don't care about the quality of either, The Tilted Kilt is your place!
(1)Tatem M.
I'm not one of those girls who feels intimidated by a waitress showing a little skin, and who doesn't like eye candy while they eat? But my visit here was shitty and it had nothing to do with the food. I was approached twice about applying to work there by the bar staff. I don't know if my shirt was too tight, or if they're hard up for help, but I was out with my boss and a business associate from out of town and it was inappropriate. The first time I laughed it off, the second time I wasn't nearly as polite. Those waitresses are working hard for their money, so by all means, tip the hell out of them, but if you're a woman, put on a burlap sack if you don't want to be part of the show. At least the fish and chips were decent. That's what scored the second star.

With all the Polaris lunch spots, why are we waiting 45 minutes for a table on a Friday at 2 pm?? Oh . . . little plaid skirts. OK I get it. I checked out the Tilted Kilt for the first time the other day for a late lunch and was surprised by how busy the place was on a weekday. Luckily most of my party arrived before me and did most of the waiting on their own. It seemed like lots of tables were clearing out but no one was seating us. Eventually we drunkenly pulled 3 tables together in some T shaped fashion and settled in for some long overdue nourishment. The waitresses were, as promised, wearing plaid skirts and bra tops with a short white top tied under the rib cage (think Brittney Spears pre-Kfed/emotional breakdown/shaved head). They were nice and polite, as scantily dressed women who rely on tips to pay their rent should be, but I was a little disappointed that many of the women looked like clones of MK and Ashley Olsen ( i.e. very little hips or curves) I would have liked to see a few more shapely ladies to fill out the costumes. I remember the food being 5 star but mostly because I was freakin' starving. We started with the calamari which was really well cooked and properly breaded but it was served with marinara sauce and I generally prefer it a little more modern with a lemon aoli. I would definitely order it again though. I then followed up the fried squid with a big ol medium rare cheeseburger and fries. This hit the spot and the burger was pink and cooked perfectly. Certainly most of the crowd were men but women should not feel weird about eating here. There also seemed to be a lot of TV's around so I'd think this would be a nice place to watch sports too. The menu had a few other things I'd probably like to try and if the Tilted Kilt provides a couple more satisfactory dining experiences I will probably up my rating to 4 stars. At this point though, plaid skirts, good burger and mediocre beer is just A-OK.

The atmosphere is great for a sports bar (which is what this is) that has a full service bar and diverse menu, however, the food is just average and sort of bland. Not at all traditional scottish or irish fare. The apps are PHENOMENAL!! The wings are fire grilled with just the right amount of char, the drunken clams a welcome option, and the garlic fries were awsome!. Now the entrees were a different story. The Chicken was underseasoned and rather tasteless, the "stew" was basically a beef vegtable soup with mashed potatoes on them. The burgers looked good, but we didn't order those so can't be sure, but I'd venture to say if you stick to the bar food options your pretty well off. Great draft beer selection, including Budweiser which most places don't carry any longer on draft. Service was mediocre, and went here for my birthday so they came out and did their Bday thing (announcement to the restaurant and bring out a fresh baked choc chip cookie with ice cream) which would have been nice at the end of the meal, but they did while we were all on our first round of drinks and hadn't even gotten our appetizers. Servers were clueless and with little personality. Let me say the "stripper" type reviews of the staff attire are totally rude and wrong. Nothing more to see here than some bellies. As a woman I was not uncomfortable with the uniforms, and many familes were here on the evening we went. The female servers wear "uniforms" that are supposed to be flirty kilt girl wear but are more reminiscent of the "catholic school girl" fantasy costume. The male servers do wear more traditional, and knee length, kilts. PLENTY of TVs and not a bad seat in the house, but they tended to play the same games on most of them. All in all an okay experience, but I don't think we'll return, there are just too many other options in the city with better food.
(3)Matt P.
When I first wrote my review, "the Kilt" hadn't been open very long, so there wasn't really a wait and the staff was quite attractive. I've been back a few times since, and it is jam packed for lunch now. That alone has deterred more regular visits, but the service is starting to suffer as well. From my last couple experiences and from reading the other reviews, it seems they have been getting a lot of food orders incorrect and the attention you get from your server is really hit or miss. Of the past two times, I had one chick who practically chilled at our table the whole time and hung out. The other visit, our girl came to get our order, delivered the food, but otherwise never checked on our table. It took forever to even pay the bill cause she never came by. I still think this place is leaps and bounds above Hooters, but it is sliding into mediocrity.
(4)Bruce H.
I stopped here as I was passing thru Columbus. I had never heard of the place, but parking lot was full (useally a good sign), so we stopped and went in. This place was very large with plenty of seating. The waitress were all dressed in kilt's, showing a lot of skin, which I did'nt mind. The service was good and the food was good. I had the black and blue burger, which the "black" part was missing (cajun spice), but it was good. Nothing special about this place except the kilt's. It was clean, good food, and reasonable prices.
(2)Steve S.
What was right: - The very attractive girls in their kilt uniforms is the hook. - Our service was attentive, competent and cheerful. - The remodel is well done. Atmosphere is upscale sports bar. - Dozens of great draft beers served in chilled, clean pints. What can be improved: - My food should have been thrown away. I ordered the Irish dip. The beef was dry, tastless, potentially days old. The serving was skimpy. The bun was stale. The fries were greasy and limp. I didn't have high expectations for good food, but this lunch torpedoed poor. This lunch was mid-week, holiday week when TK had been packed every meal. No reason other than mis-management for having stale and tired ingredients. Recognizing that most patrons will be happy with the girls and the beer, I anticipate Tilted Kilt will continue to draw a full house in spite of my opinion of their food.
(3)Kevin H.
I've been to his bar twice.....but each time was great. They have a limited selection of wing sauces,but the "customer service" more than makes up for it. The staffing at this bar makes me want to get a job in human resources. This is a great place to watch a game, because there is always something entertaining going on. Anyhoo, good draft beer selection. Definitely recommended for a boys night out. But unfortunately the wait is usually a good 45 min.
(4)Paul F.
I had the Irish Stew, which came with a garlic roll and had a lot of corn and celery in it. As far as how it tasted, it was "okay" but not great. The waitresses were not any better than the stew. LOL But I had to try it.
(3)Cindy R.
Went here with a few friends on a Saturday night, and like the stars say, " it's a-ok"..... Nothing stood out here for me; the food was typical sports bar food, beer selection is alright, and yes the girls are in skimpy outfits..... Price wise this place is a bit high, but being near the mall that should be no surprise to anyone.....
(3)Yianni C.
Down to earth good time. If you are a female you would not appreciate what this bar/restaurant has to offer. Instead you would wish instead it's shut down by some type of agency to make it ilegal for something to this caliber. I am not even talking about the girls, the outfits, the decor and the atmosphere that it brings. That is just the cherry and whip cream on top of the ice cream. I was shocked to find out the second best place for wings after Roosters, order them more wet as a friend suggested. The flavor was great for the medium. We ordered 2 lb. The Jalapeno burger was Medium rear as I ordered it. What shocked me the most were the fries with parmesan came out hot next to my burger and very flavorful. From the drinks the Kilt shaker is really the best one there. We all tried a few other ones and we found that one had less alcohol taste. Person next to me got the philly stake sandwich which the waitress suggested and he loved it.The person in front of me got the pizza which was a little dry. They are using a cracker dough which does not go well with sauce but they need to kick up a notch something not so dry. Possibly add slices of tomatoes to mix. Waiteresses were all gain for a joke or two and that is what an experience is. Do not go there for the show, go there for the food and appreciate both. Management is quite talkative and polite and easy to talk to. I do not see any Hooters in here! All six of us were happy we came, we were saying going out the door.
(5)Zak K.
Before this place opened I got an email about it and since then I wanted to try this place out. A friend of mine and his wife went there and they said it was good so I thought I need to go, so I did last night. First off I had the meatloaf sandwich and it was fantastic. It came on a hoagie roll with bbq sauce with onion straws, and fries and was delicious, I would go to this place just for that. Then you have the wait staff which is the main draw of the place, and you can tell by all the guys that are there for that, along with the creepers. Our waitress was very nice and not too pushy: when I walked in the place I thought I would be getting a tableside lap dance and I didn't which was nice. This place is a great place to watch a game, when I was there it was the first night of NFL preseason games and there was an Indians game on as well. They have TVs everywhere and two of the hugest projection TV's I have ever seen. My only complaint would be the beer prices. I had a Coors Light draft and it was $4.50, and my wife asked for a sample of another draft beer and they charged her .50 cents, I have never seen that anywhere. Besides that this place is worth another visit and I would come back. Key things I take from this place. 1 The food was really good. 2 Great place to watch a game. 3 The people watching is amazing 4 The beer is overpriced.
(3)J D.
food was mediocre, beer selection good, but the highlights are the hotties scantily clad, nice use of plaid.
(3)Jason S.
Meh....was busy for nfl draft. Nothing special at all
(3)Jason J.
Essentially Hooters with plaid skirts and midriffs. I think the food is a bit better and more options (not just wings and variants of wings). The place is huge and has a ton of space to watch the game. The talent is always...interesting. Overall a fun spot to watch MNF with a couple buddies.
