The Scene
The Blue Danube has nothing in common with the Johann Strauss symphony or the Hungarian river, except that it's also a touchstone. It originally opened its doors in 1940, and while the ownership has changed, the place hasn't. Since it's one of the only spots near the OSU campus open for meals after midnight, many a local twentysomething has crammed into a blue neon-lit booth to chat, eat fairly cheaply and smoke his or her head off. The waitstaff is hit or miss; bartenders tend to be more reliable.
The Food
Most menu selections are average American fare, although there are a few tastier Greek dishes. But you don't indulge in the chicken and dumplings, burgers and gyros for the taste so much as the fact that they are fuel, and much better fuel than the stuff at the Taco Bell up the street.

There is a varied menu with some great Greek food. Their humus is outstanding and the baklava is scrumptous. Servers are pretty good and there are specials everyday. The food is always hot and tasty!

If you are looking for a unique place to eat, try this place! It is down by the Ohio State Campus, so it might be a little crowded, but its worth the trip! Try the meatloaf!
