My husband and I went to The Goat for lunch on our weekend stay in Columbus for our anniversary. We ordered two burgers, fries, fried pickles, 2 alcohol beverages and 2 sprites. Our food and drinks were great but our service was not. When we entered the restaurant (whivh weve never been to) they waitresses said hi and walked away but did not tell us to seat ourselves or nothing we just stood there for a few minutes then decided to go seat ourselves. After we sat ourselves we waited 10 minutes for our waitress to come to our table. We were very surprised that we waited so long especially because other than us there was only one other table with 2 people in the restaurant. When she came up to our table she asked if we were ready to order. Mind you no one seated us, no one gave us menus, no one asked if weve been there before.. We told her that we needed a menu and she told us that due to covid we had to scan the code on the table and that itd pop up. We did so and ordered. It took 20 minutes to recieve our food and then we werent checked on again. We received no napkins, no refills, no questions on how the food was..... nothing... So after we finished we waited about 10 minutes for our waitress to come (she was up front on her phone the whole time talking with the others that worked there) she never came. So, I had to put my had up and say excuse me can we have the check. She came over and asked us if we needed anything else and I asked for a box. It took her another 15 whole minutes to get the check and 1 box.... My husband and I will not be dining here again due to the horrible service.
Very relaxed place with good food. Its a great idea for an apartment complex/ community(The LC Gahanna in the case) to place a bar that sells good food and connect it to the rental offive so you dont have to travel and you can walk home if you drink a lil too much. They are also on doordash. Great idea
Taylor is awesome! I randomly came in on a Sunday and they were surprisingly busy and I think she was the only one working. She made everything super easy getting food. I had been to a previous Goat and didn’t have the best experience but I decided to give it another try. The food turned out great so now I know what I like on their menu and she was knowledgeable. Will definitely go back to this one!
The goat has really gone down hill here. Menu hasnt changed in over two years and the food quality has gone from good to nope wont come back. I have been back since January 2019 and thought I would try again. Chicken fingers were burnt (fried to long) and the blue cheese sauce lid was not secure and spilled all over (to go order) and no I did not drop it. My server was friendly although service has never been the same since a lot if turnover has taken place. I use to frequent 3 times a week but wont be back. Tired if bad food!
When my family and I first started ordering from them the pandemic had just started, I figured the order mistakes were caused by overwhelmed or lack of staff so I tried to give them a chance.However every single time we have ordered we did not receive what we ordered, either something is missing completely or has ingredients that were asked to be left off and when we try to call and have them fix it they very rudely refuse to deliver the correct items and hung up on me several times even though our orders were delivery.Staff is very rude, they never approach you first and you have to chase them down and ask for help multiple times before getting any help.Last night was the icing on the cake. Super simple order, side of fries, veggie gyro and 3 tzatziki sauces. But when it arrived, tzatziki was ranch. I called 5+ times to no avail. My husband went to get the correct sauces and they again sent him home with ranch instead of tzatziki.I will never recommend The Goat in Gahanna.
Attempted to order food through doordash (during hours open) and after a half-hour the order cancelled stating the order was unable to be fulfilled. If that was the case why did it take that long to cancel and would it have been so hard to call? I have had other places do that before when the order can’t be met. Poor customer service.
Nice place. Grounds are nice and looks like a cool place to hang out in the summer. That being said its way too expensive at the bar and the bartenders seemed to be in over their heads the whole night. They didnt come to our table even once, I kept going up to the bar. Id rather byob on the dl next time. Got brought more food than I ordered with no apologies; asked for 4 tacos and got 4 orders. Charged for an extra drink and side of sour cream with said tacos.
I live here. My father owned bars and this one is like it....old fashioned in ways cause people sit and talk and watch TV plus they can play card tournaments and more. But it does have a bit more in that the kitchen inside serves more flavorful meals and things and the age group is more diverse. Being in my 50s, I still can fit in with others younger or older who come around to joke, drink and relax
RACIST Establishment! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN TREATED SO BADLY! I stay in new Albany, and a friend invited me and some friends to the Goat in Gahanna. We sat at the bar and the bartender Melinda M, right off the back tells us, in order for us to order drinks or food she needs to run our credit cards LIKE A pre-authorize! Plus hold our card! I’ve never heard of such a thing! Melinda didn’t do it anyone else but my group! So I tell Melinda M she is going to take my complete order then she can run my card and give it back to me! I guess this upset her because she took 45 mins to bring me out my Basic salad. She gave all my friends their food and when I asked her about my food she told me I’ll come out when it ready and she can’t do anything about it-all while shaking her head and rolling her eyes n then she giggles at the end. So after everyone was done eating she brings my salad out, never asked anyone for refills, just a nasty attitude! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY HERE! Go enjoy yourself somewhere where you business is appreciated and valued! Btw Later that day I went to the goat by my house, not once did the bartender ask me for my credit card to drink or eat!
I was pretty disappointed in my experience at this location of The Goat. I didnt realize that it was located in the pool house of a huge apartment complex, and that the only server was also the only bartender. It took over an hour for us to get our food and it wasnt great - frozen hashbrown patties and a mediocre bloody mary bar. I definitely wont be going back, and Im really disinclined to visit any of the other Goat locations after this experience.
The best place to mingle and get to know your neighbors. For those of you who dont live at the fabulous LC Preserve Crossing at Gahanna, you can still have tons of fun at the Goat. Games, trivia and just downright laughter make you want to spend more time at this cozy hip spot..... And no, I dont work there.... just a happy resident.
When did they start denying service to get alcohol because you only have a state of Ohio I.D.? Apparently Sarah the bartender doesnt use Ohio state I.D. as proof since its vertical. Even though it wasnt expired and it clearly showed that she turned 21 a few days prior. Instead she asked for another type of I.d., like a jobs badge, to verify a STATE I.D., but yet I was fine because I had a horizontal I.D. (my drivers license).
No firearms sign posted. Basically this is a defenseless victim location. A criminal will never obey this sign if their intent is to harm. I will not spend my money where they deny me my 2nd amendment right to protect myself. I am not the threat. This world is too scary these days. Please consider removing this sign.

2019-07-11I lived in the Preserve Crossing LC for nearly 8 years. I visited The Goat regularly for the last 5 of them. Literally hundreds of times, so, Ive seen some good days, and some not so good days.However, a month removed, I can honestly say, that the good days and memories of the food and my experiences far outweigh any of the bad. Easily. Every staff member Ive ever encountered has been top notch! From the chefs, to the bar backs, servers, bartenders and management.Its definitely worth at least a visit. :)

2021-08-02This was our first time at this place. We werent sure which door was the front so, we followed the person in front of us. There was a piece of wood on the floor keeping the door cracked open because the handle was completely off. We walked in and no one greeted us. A girl sitting at a high top table by herself told us to seat ourselves. We sat outside and it took the waiter a long time to come take care of us. So long that we went inside to see if we order at the counter. When he finally arrived he asked us what we wanted, but we hand no menu. So, he took this block thing from the table next to us, tossed it onto our table and told us to scan the QR code. The service tonight was very poor. You could tell that they didnt care about you. We waited 40 minutes for our food which ended up being mediocre. I got the Gyro and it was bland. My daughter got the Southwest Burger which she said had no seasoning. My mom ordered The Goat and Chicken with bun on side because she is gluten-free. When she asked for a fork and knife a waitress said she gave us one, yet there was no knife. Since service was very slow, we knew it would be awhile if we asked for one so my mom had to use her fingers to break the chicken into pieces. If youre looking for a restaurant this place is not it. I think it is more for the residents than outside people.

2021-08-01I dont know whats happening but its a hot mess. Ive lived out here going on 5 years. And have always loved there food. But its been nothing but terrible service and my food has been wrong the last 4x i ordered. I have actually spoken to 3 different managers in past year. The last one i spoke to said that he was the last manager to be hired and that he would give me a gift card but that they were charging or upgrading there pos system and come in the next day to get my gift card. Well i gave him 2 day and he never contacted me. So i stopped in and he was actually bothered that I was there and said the system was still not letting him do any gift cards and he would contact me. That was a month ago 😳. I have a feeling hes not going to work out either. I will not ever order from them again.

2021-05-28Though, my first time eating at this restaurant was not delightful as there was a racially motivated comment made to me by my server, the service manager did make an attempt to correct the experience which Im pleased with. Regan in fact was not our server, she was a gem! Such a sweet girl and she was extremely kind. She even cleared mine and my guest plates from the table as well as provided refills when our server (Who shall remain nameless because my intent is to never call someone out negatively) was much more attentive to the other guests around us. The food was pretty good. I had a vegetarian gyro. I am looking forward to returning and having some pizza!

2021-05-06The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the Italian pizza rolls, and the fried pickles. The “pizza rolls” were just a bland calzone. I would’ve been happier with some actual frozen pizza rolls from Totinos 🤣 My server was meh. It wasn’t busy, but she was not very interested in serving me, and therefore took her time responding to my table. It was just me, and I ordered water to drink, so it wasn’t like she had to keep coming back and forth to my table. I think took her too long to realize that I was finished eating (I only ate 1 “pizza roll”). When she brought me the check, it took FOREVER for her to come back and get it. She did apologize, so there’s that. Will I be returning? No. It’s just your typical bar and grill style restaurant, and there’s nothing spectacular to see.

2020-06-06I had NO idea the cuteness and enticing atmosphere of THE GOAT, no matter what location! Everybody is so friendly, most almost if not all locations are based in residential neighborhoods. The few that I have been to also have an entrance through a leasing office of the properties. I know it sounds a little crazy, but the people that work in the office are also very helpful and nice. Very welcoming to the community, no matter why you are there! Cant wait to be able to enjoy this as its intended, aka after corona

2021-05-05I have lived at the LC Gahanna for going on 5 years and always had fantastic service at the Goat. We used to be multiple time a week regulars being that my wife and I live onsite.About a year or so ago all the servers and bartenders that we loved and knew so well walked out and it’s been nothing but downhill since. A constant revolving door or kitchen staff, bartenders and management. Which speaks volumes about the environment of staff won’t stick around. In our last 4 visits/ delivery’s orders have been wrong every time. Entire orders and items missing and TWICE I’ve had chicken that was still raw in the center. And each time I give the Goat another chance just to be let down again.**shout out to Mason for always comping or correcting things** But apart from him I wouldn’t waste your time or money.

2021-03-03I live in the LC and have always loved the food at the Goat. However they have the worst service inside and outside the restaurant. Inside the restaurant it takes forever for you to get serviced you get your food and then you never hear from the waitress again. The last few times Ive ordered delivery instead. I waited over an hr and 30 minutes for my delivery even tho it said it would be a 3p minute delivery. I called after an hr and a half of waiting when I was told they over looked my order. Did I wantd it reorders or not. Reluctantly I said yes and when I finally got my food after waiting over another 30 minutes it was cold we ordered a black bean burger and they didnt put the burger on thesandwich just vegetables 🙃 when we called to tell no one answered for the rest of the night

2021-12-11They messed up my order twice and the service was terrible. The waitress had an attitude because they messed up our orders and rushed us out. I’ll never go back again.

2020-06-13Oh boy, where do I start. We made reservations a WEEK ago for our friend’s birthday. We followed up yesterday just to confirm that our party of 10 would be seated outside.. tell me why when we arrived we watched people be seated at the table WE reserved & we had to be seated inside? We arrived at 7:30, it’s now 9:40 & we still haven’t received our food. Do we dare ask for our bill? Way to ruin a birthday party with your trash service. You will literally waste your time by coming to this restaurant. I don’t even leave reviews, but I’m leaving this one just to warn other customers. Save yourself time, save your money & go elsewhere.
