Vibe – Built in 1939, Plank's has a warm wood interior, hunting lodge feel that you don't see much these days. You don't have to dress up to come here. This was what German Village was like before property values skyrocketed and the interior decorators got their hands on it. – – On The Bench – The Patio has lots of tables, chairs and picnic benches where softball players and regulars hang out and drink pitchers of draft beer and eat pizza. Softball is such a tradition with Plank's that they have their own team. – – The Food – The…

Stick To The Pizza!
by ColinN
I just experienced yet another dissappointing lunch at Plank's. I should have followed the advice of a friend who said, "stick to the pizza"! But I opted to have the "Roast Beef & Chedder Sub" described as tender, juicy, roast beef piled high with melted cheddar and banana peppers. Well ... if having one piece of roast beef folded over three times is "piled high", I must have been mistaken to actually expect some serious roast beef on this sub. Not only was the beef portion anemic, but the sub roll was so dry that the top was flaking off in big chunks as I choked this lackluster Saharian creation down ..... note to self = free refills of drinks a must with this effortless creation.
The other consistency with this place is the slowwwwwww, dispassionate service ... seems like "whatever???" rules here as I have never gotten outta here in under 1 1/2 hours for lunch! It took three trys to get my Dr. Pepper selection correct!!
Bottom line ... I'm done!! Unless I am in no hurry at all, plan to have only pizza, and drink beer on their outside patio (which is nice, except for the ever present bathroom smell), I will go to their Parson's Avenue location where the service is friendly and the food is far superior!
Sorry, Plank's!! No Subs For You!!!
- Pros: The pizza is great!
- Cons: The service is slow and other food is not worth the wait.

Recently ate at Plank's. First of all the entire place reeked of bathroom smell. It was really bad. The food was so averagely awfully I won't be going back.
The Details on Plank's Bier Garten
Also Nominated:
For best pizza because of the chewy crust, savory sauce and no-nonsense presentation.
No Relation:
Years ago, Plank's Cafe & Pizzeria on Parsons Avenue had the same owner, but now they don't.
Bring It Home:
Plank's delivers their tasty pizza right to your door if you live nearby. Carryout is an option if you don't.
One of Columbus' Best:
Nominated for best outdoor bar, for having a tree-shaded wooden-fenced back patio that feels more like a neighborhood get-together than a restaurant.
