Columbus’s oldest and most historic restaurant. The Ringside Café has been a part of downtown Columbus since 1897. Inside the small, but cozy seating area you will find memorabilia scattered about; such as stained glass windows, authentic paintings, custom floors, along with an ambiance that makes you feel like kicking back and relaxing with a cold pint of beer. For those who are not familiar with the downtown area, the Ringside Café is nestled back on 19N Pearl Street, between East Gay and East Broad and North High across form the State House.
Storied American tavern pairing burgers named after boxers with beer in cozy, throwback digs.

Such a cool little slice of history, and I love to sit outside in the little alley in the middle of downtown. One of the best burgers you will find anywhere, but we tried the veggie burger the other day and it was THE BEST veggie burger I have ever eaten. It’s made on-site with fresh vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms and was HUGE . I’m not a big meat eater, but I will come back once a week to eat that veggie burger. The onion rings, french fries, and coleslaw are also fresh and delicious. This place never disappoints.

One of the coolest hidden gems in Columbus. In an alley adorn with art and fire escapes. Super small interior but that adds to its charm. My cajun chicken sandwich was fantastic and service was super friendly and fast. It’s the oldest restaurant in Columbus!

Beautiful hole in the wall with some of the best food you will ever have. Simple menu. Outside seating, yet still a cozy interior if your looking to avoid the crowds. I highly recommend

Definitely top 3 best burgers in Columbus. Huge burgers too so a great place if you’re really hungry. Worth the prices for how much food you get and the overall quality/freshness is excellent.

I always look forward to the next time I get a fried Ruben from Ringside. It is amazing. It is beautiful. Everyone should try it at least once. Or, in my case, many, many times. Also, I love the chill atmosphere.

Now been to this hidden gem twice and left happy each visit. I love little, old taverns that have good burgers, fries, and beer, and Ringside is it. It’s quaint. It’s small. The service and food prep is just right. Very friendly place. Kind of feels like you’re going to walk into Mick’s from the Rocky movies. Dark, not loud, and always been able to get a table quickly.

Food and service were amazing! I had a basic burger and fries. The fries were home made and all the ingredients tasted fresh! If I ever come back to town I’ll stop here

Absolutely spectacular. I called ahead earlier this week to coordinate a large group for a birthday. We had a great time and everyone loved their food. This place is by far the best burger in Columbus. Their onion rings are superb. The only couple downsides – small place so they sometimes turn tables away. Only two people working tonight-just hustled all night. We go back every opportunity we have! Highly recommend!
