Strongwater Food and Spirits

Large space but with an intimate vibe. Multiple separate dining rooms surround a large eating room with bar. Good selection of local beers. Fast friendly service. Jackfruit tacos were great. Was really wanting the fried green tomatoes to be great but they were just ok. They have a good number of other vegan options. Will be going back

If you're a vegan looking for a more upscale, trendy place for dinner, check out Strongwater! Several vegan appetizers (the gazpacho is delicious), mains (try the jackfruit cake, similar to a crab cake) and even a delicious coconut milk panna cotta for dessert. The old warehouse in which it's located is interesting although the large expanses and hard surfaces made it a little noisy. Still, I recommend you check it out.

This is the second veg-friendly place I've eaten at in Columbus. So far so good! It was in a hipster-y area (if you care about that kind of thing), lots of random art lying around. I asked about their cider selection, and they only had angry orchard, but it looked like they had a lot of other alcohol available lol. Dogs are allowed outside.

I ordered the jack fruit cake plate. It came with zucchini and potato hash (sogood) and a curry flavored fried patty made of jack fruit. I've never had jack fruit and oh my god I loved it! I'll have to buy some and try my own recipes. My boyfriend ordered the black bean burger, also vegan. It was kinda bland and fell apart way too easily. The fries were good though.
Anyway, I enjoyed it and can't wait to come back!

Full bar, many vegan appetizers and entrees. I have always found the staff the be very accommodating. This is a good place to take omnivore friends. They do serve meat, but indicate explicitly on menu what is vegan/can be made vegan.
