Editorial Review for Flatiron Bar & Grill – by Terry Ward Libby
The Scene
For years, Columbus developers and politicians have been lambasted by preservationists for demolishing much of the city's native architecture. But our Flatiron is a venerable survivor. A favorite after-work watering hole, the original oak bar and colorful diner decor make for one of this town's special hideaways. The selection of Scotch is excellent, and the bartenders are skillful.
The Food
A few years ago, upscale restaurateur Kent Rigsby took the place over and gave it a spit shine. With Rigsby's name on the lease, you can be sure the menu offers something beyond standard pub grub. The pulled pork barbecue is done North Carolina-style, with vinegar and spices and zero ketchup. The tangy juices soak right through the crusty bun. Slaw on the side is finely shaved with fresh horseradish and cayenne for heat. A fried oyster po' boy sandwich is served with house remoulade.

I went to this place a lot when I was staying at the Red Roof Inn next door on Nationwide Blvd. It is a great atmosphere and the BBQ is wonderful. They have these hot n' spicy fries with mozzarella cheese on top that are to to die for! I am about a hour away from Columbus but I would drive up to Columbus just to have lunch or dinner here. I definitely recommend it. If you are looking for a non-chain establishment and great food, Flat Iron is a good choice then!
