Stopped at Boston’s before a Fury match. The atmosphere and location are perfect for pre-event food and drinks before an even at Nationwide arena. Probably deserves 5 stars, but I am giving it a 4 because I ordered French dip at a pizza place, I know my own dumb fault. But everything else was good. The pickles and peppers appetizer was really good and the tall drink was actually a 32oz tub. Will definitely go back and try the pizza.

This was such a nice spot! We sat at the bar as we came about an hour and a half before closing. The bartender was so attentive and kind. I don’t remember her name but she was fantastic! Quick service too, the food came fairly quickly. As for the food itself, the pizza was really good and the ranch was amazing. Their salads are fantastic too. The pasta was a little bland for my liking but very saucy which I can appreciate as some places lack in that area. Food was a little overpriced for my liking, but overall a great experience!

Let’s talk about impressive! DEFINITELY in the top 10% of restaurants I have been to (and stayed tuned for more real reviews all over Ohio+)… but it’s clear the vision is being executed.
Boston’s is located in the Arena District (right across from the Blue Jackets’ stadium) and within walking distance of the Hyatt and Hilton if you’re in town for a convention or competition. They offer flexible seating that can accommodate larger parties and have booths that will comfortably fit 6! Do them a favor and call in before your large party shows up so they can get it set up and you don’t have to wait since the entrance is off the main road without a lot of loitering space. (You can grab a beer in a plastic cup and wait or walk down the street for those who enjoy that!! )
The host was spot on, Alexis, our server, was prompt and efficient and handled us with a smile, and the manager was engaged, aware and present (we don’t see that often anymore) and really set a tone that allowed for what appeared to be a well operated machine.
Food was amazing. 4⭐️ come from over-whelming menu, although it caters to a wide variety of clientele. Just head up- steak bites are really good but can’t be cooked under a solid medium.
Overall- I’m coming back tomorrow for a sandwich and I REALLY hope my experience tomorrow matches what I experienced today.

As Columbus Crew fans, we’ve passed this location many times over the years without stopping by. On a rainy day match, we decided to spend some time pre-match and grab some dinner. While the location was busy and we were initially told there’d be a 20-min wait, we were able to grab a couple bar seats immediately.
The bartender/server was busy (it was also the KY Derby evening) but she got to us quickly for drink and appetizer orders, and was fairly attentive throughout the evening.
Food service was quicker than we expected and everything we had was “ok”. My spouse’s wings were a bit overly crunchy and seasoned fries were…well, not seasoned at all. My pasta dish was also fine, but the cream Alfredo sauce runny and lacked any real taste. Our appetizer was probably the most tasty thing we had. We will probably stop again, but will try out other items on the menu.
As a side note, as the photo will show, my “tall” beverage came in an oversized plastic cup. I didn’t ask (so maybe someone can inform me) what the reason for this was. Maybe a DORA cup? Was the restaurant out of glassware? Is this always their normal serving container? I did see pint size glasses but, again, didn’t inquire as it wasn’t really a big deal.
Overall, a nice stop with slightly above average meal and experience.

We stopped here on a Saturday early evening while in town for a show at the Nationwide Arena. Almost every other restaurant was an hour wait and this one was pretty packed as well but we hovered near the bar to wait for a couple seats. There was a football game the day we were here so I’m guessing the concert and the game brought a large number of people to town. Anyway, we waited maybe 5-10 minutes for a couple to leave so we could grab their seats but once we sat down the bartenders took care of us quickly. We had a couple cocktails and ordered food. The food came out pretty fast and it was good. People sitting next to us at the bar were friendly. Bathrooms were clean. We had parked in a garage and walked so I can’t say what the parking situation is but it looked like street to me. This was my first time in this city so the parking garage option was fine with me. Overall positive experience.

We had the spinach and artichoke dip and I had a boost Mary and the Boston burger. The food was great! But I seriously wanted to give a shout out to the bar tenders because they were soooo amazing. They were on top of orders and sooo friendly. Since this location is next to 3 stadiums and 2 concert venues it can get busy, so we just sat and ate at the bar. But I would say is one of the best spots on arena district.

I really wanted pasta and chose this place over The Columbus Fish Market….bad idea. The Create Your Own Pasta was so bland and the Alfredo sauce wasn’t tasty and super thin. The portion size and the shrimp I added was the only positive. I was just as disappointed in the dessert the Boston’s Whiskey Cake* when I saw toffee and whiskey I figured you can’t go wrong! I could smell the whiskey which was cool but I didn’t taste any toffee or Carmel sauce. The garlic breadstick saved this place from receiving a 1 star! Please do better! Season the food for God’s sakes.

Went to Bostons Pizza on the recommendation of a parking attendant. She didn’t steer us wrong. We came down from Sandusky Ohio to see the TSO 3 o’clock show. We got in and out quickly. Our waiter Rick was great. He made sure I wasn’t trying to drink ice cubes. Food was delicious. I would return.

Found this place at the best time! I had made a birthday reservation at another restaurant down the street, but even with the reservation there was an extremely long wait that would’ve made me late to my other plans. I was disappointed walking back to my car when my friend and I stumbled upon Bostons. We walked right in and got sat right away. I cannot remember my servers name, but she was so so sweet as well as the host who sat us. I definitely will be back to this place. We got drinks, apps, and entrees and it was yummy! Shoutout to our server though she was the best

Bravo Boston’s Pizza! After our high school hockey game the Ice Haus, the entire team went over to Boston’s. With a call ahead notice Boston’s was able to accommodate the entire team in a section with adjoining tables for family members to be close to the players. Pizzas were hot, fresh and on time – service was fantastic! You made a post-game meal and outing so easy for us all. Thank you!
