The Scene
The Gahanna Grill is a local landmark and hangout full of regulars, especially in the bar area. The tabletops feature ads for area businesses. The walls are crammed with autographed sports jerseys. There is a small town feel here; the employees know most of their patrons on sight. Some people might write this off as a dive at quick glance, but substance wins over form every time.

The Food
The hamburgers are legendary. The signature Beanie Burger is named after the short order cook/creator who grilled the first one. It is a 1/3 lb. thick patty with fried onions, homemade slaw, a landslide of pickles, lettuce and tomato. Swiss cheese, bacon, and grilled onions combine for the Academy Burger. The Blue Cheese, Mushroom and Swiss, and Patty Melt are other possibilities. If you can resist these beefy burgers there are other choices including a chicken sandwich with multiple add-ons, a mouth watering prime rib, tender pork chops, several daily specials and homemade desserts such as the apple walnut pie.
