Absolutely phenomenal experience at Jarfly.
Hands down one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time—juicy, perfectly cooked, and insanely flavorful. The ghost pepper jelly takes it to another level: sweet, spicy, and addictive in the best way. Every bite hit.
The drinks were just as impressive—well balanced, fresh, and clearly made by people who care about what they’re pouring. Pair that with the amazing vibe of the space (cool, lively, but still relaxed) and this place easily stands out as one of the best restaurant atmospheres in Columbus, Georgia.
Service was top-tier. Huge shoutout to Yanna, our server—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made a great experience even better.
Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere are all absolutely on point. I’ll 100% be back.

Stopped in for lunch after running a few errands today. I went for the mushroom Bahn Mi sandwich with sweet potato fries as a side. The wife went for the blackened Mahi sandwich with fries. Our appetizer was Elote dip & chips. The dip had a lot of flavor but was a cold dip, so the chips may not be the best pairing. Still, tasty though. The wife ate most of the Mahi sandwich but it became a bit of a texture issue for her. It’s served on a regular burger bun with coleslaw topping. Tasted good, but kind of got a little soggy after a few minutes. Might be better on a different type of bread maybe? For me, the Bahn Mi was ok. Not much protein to speak of, just a veggie sandwich. Something to keep in mind when ordering would be your protein needs for the day. Anyway, not bad food by any means. Atlanta prices though. The mahi sandwich with fries is $20 for what amounts to a lunch size portion. A bit steep for the area. Bahn Mi was $17-ish. The appetizer was $11 and we had water to drink. Before tip the total was mid fifties for two lunch sandwiches and an appetizer. Again, a little on the pricey side. Parking is in the rear and side of the building. Entry is on the front, street side, of the building. I think the building complex is meant to be walkable, but not having parking side entrances feels a little weird, not fully thought out. Just the humble opinion of a foodie. ♂️ Service was great. Atmosphere was ok. Felt a little beachy with the colors and the concrete floor and large garage doors. The place is worth a try at least once. Just keep in mind that the prices are little high for the the portions you’re getting. If you’re okay with splurging a little, then yes I would recommend giving it a try. If your budget is a little tight, might want to do some research on other spots first. For what we ordered, the area we were in, the prices felt like they were probably double what they should be. Again, personal opinion. Anyway, was worth a try.

Jamie is the KINDEST and most professional server. We had a big group for a girls night out. I’m also on an intense allergen free diet (no gluten, no egg, no dairy, no soy). Jamie was so kind, understanding, and patient with all of us. She helped me pick out something on the menu that was within my diet, double checked with the kitchen multiple times, and spoke with the chef and gave him a list of my allergens so they made sure it was something I could eat with no problems. She even spoke with me about cross contamination concerns. SO CONSIDERATE. This NEVER happens when I go out to eat. EVER. Jamie and Jarfly are truly the best, and it was my first stress free and enjoyable dining experience dealing with an allergen free diet that I’ve ever had. A HUGE THANK YOU to Jamie and Jarfly!!!

Made an account just to talk about how unreasonably bad my experience at Jarfly was.
I came in with another person and was seated in front of a family of 2 adults and 4 very young and loud children in a mostly empty restaurant that kept turning around to bang on the top of the booth I was at which ruined the vibe.
Service was unreasonably slow. It took around 30 minutes to get a burger (again, in a mostly empty restaurant).
The burger itself was overpriced for it’s lacking quality. I could’ve just went to chillis for less money, with a far bigger and better burger. Additionally, I ordered a double patty for $17 but they came out with a single patty for $14 due to the server’s lack of comprehension skills.
As a line cook that has worked as a server, runner, and busser there is no excuse. Everyone involved was not in it to win. Jarfly will not survive in this industry if this is normal behavior.

Had the most delightful experience at Jarfly as a first timer. Such an inviting atmosphere with aesthetic decor.
The food? Absolutely delicious!
We got the smash burger w/ tater tots, shrimp roll w/ tater tots & cole slaw, & shrimp basket w/ sweet potato fries.
I will say the cole slaw is a vinegar base & very powerful.
The staff were incredibly friendly. Our server Jacob was awesome!
Definitely recommend if you are looking for a cute, enjoyable dinning experience!

This place was packed, and now I know why. The server we had was quite rude. He seemed like he either hated his job or didn’t want to be there. My order got messed up three times, and so did my friends. We had to have another server come and help us. The food was amazing, and I’d definitely go back again. I would definitely chose a different server.
Update 21 July 2025 – I went for my birthday and it was amazing. I complete 180 in service from my first experience. Our server Jo was awesome. Definitely try the Buffalo chicken dip. Also, if you happen to be in the restaurant after the close, they play the fun music lol.

After hearing all the hype, I was a little disappointed in my experience. The atmosphere was pretty great (except for the restroom. I’m not sure if they were having a plumbing issue, but it smelled heavily of sewage). The restaurant was very busy, but we were served quickly and were well-attended throughout our visit. The calamari was delicious! For our meal, we ordered several types of tacos, and they were unexciting and a little bland. Nice presentation, though! Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but we probably won’t return for a second visit.

Gluten Free people Jarfly now has a dedicated gf fryer! Shout out to the Bartender Devon who made it happen. Chips, fries and tots are now gf! My husband and I come here a lot for drinks and now I can finally eat here and have more than just salad. Their drinks are the best too!

FOOD: We ordered the Spicy Piña Burger (double) with SP fries, the BLT with fries, and the Birria Melt. Everything was incredible. The Birria was my favorite. We suggest crispier fries.
DRINK: We ordered the Pain Killer and the Strawberry Daquiri. Delicious!
ATMOSPHERE: Music was fun, lighting and decor were fun! Table was sticky and we all wanted chairs with backs on them. Barstools not comfy for a party of 8.

This was my first time at Jarfly. The food was decent, their drinks were spectacular. The service staff was fine, nothing to rave about, but entirely effective.
The atmosphere was where this place got it entirely right. There’s an outside patio area that has the best evening vibes I’ve been to in Columbus. We also happened to go on trivia night! Which I wasn’t even aware they had. Overall a good experience, will definitely go back.
