Northstar Cafe

Pretty Good Food.

by Europeans at Citysearch

Northstar offers a good selection of fresh and tasty food at short North and on N High, near the corner with Henderson:

Their flatbread is wonderful: like a Pizza Margherita you can have 'to go' at one of the little stands in the streets of Napoli.

The rice bowls are not bad, unfortunately the cook is usually too reluctant with spices.

Their pancakes and other brunch options are well done.

Overall, this place seems too fancy, the ambiente too sterile; but the food is worth going for.

• Pros: Fresh, tasty food.
• Cons: Too pretentious.

BEST IN COLUMBUS. HANDS DOWN.

Can't say anything negative about this place. GREAT food, fast. Even when the lines are out the door, people are polite, friendly and the staff are professional. There's always a positive vibe. In spite of it's popularity, people are never rushed in and rushed out, the food, though filling, is just right portion-wise. There really is no place like it. I've never left this place feeling anything but good and I've been there atleast 100 times.

• Pros: Feels good to be here.
• Cons: You may be in line for 5-15 minutes.

Pleasant suprise

by olbed at Citysearch

I was bored of Panera, and found Northstar just down the road. Plenty of parking, stylish interior, great food. I popped in for a late lunch and found the chop salad and soup very filing. It appears to be vegan friendly, and seems pricer than most restaurants in the fast-casual catagory.

I will come back again, and recommend this to anyone looked for a pleasant lunch atmosphere and generous portions.

• Pros: Parking, food quality, orginal menu items
• Cons: Can get loud (maybe thats just the ppl next to me!)
