Restaurants near Ohio Theatre

I'm taking the wife to see Phantom of the Opera a week from Saturday at Ohio Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. I'm looking for some suggestions on some good places to eat near the theatre.

Nobody has any suggestions?

Never been near there.

A quick Google found me this site.

I've only been to a small handful of spots up in Columbus. Elevator Brewing is only 4 or 5 blocks away from the Ohio Theatre, and they've got a really nice menu. My wife is crazy about their short rib mac & cheese, and I've had their Cajun chicken penne, and their pork chop - both were great, but I'd take the Cajun chicken penne over the pork chop just because I'm a geek for good Cajun. Not sure how much you get into the beer, but I really enjoy the Dark Force lager and the Horny Goat barrel aged porter.

There's also The Thurman Cafe. It's maybe a 10 minute drive from the Ohio Theatre. Insanely good sandwiches and burgers...it's my usual stop if I'm looking for food in the C-bus. The Thurman Burger is a 12 oz. burger and is an absolutely amazing sight to behold when it comes out to you on a plate with their fresh cut fries. Literally making my mouth water to think about it. They've also got "The Thurminator", which is a double-decker version of the Thurman Burger. It was featured on Man vs. Food at some point.

Other than visiting the Zoo I dont know, most of Cbus is a dump.

I’ve never had food there, but Elevator has one of the coolest bar rooms I’ve ever been in. Beautifully restored old structure.
