      Do you take advanced reservations?

      A:

      I don't think they do. Someone tried doing this when we were at the bar about a month ago and the bartender said no. They appear to be first come first serve. I would call them to make sure.

      Boston's is the place to go before a Blue Jackets game!

      Yesterday I stopped in for dinner with my mom and brother before heading across the street to watch the CBJ defeat the Penguins. We had about an hour wait, which we anticipated since the majority of the crowd had already shown up for the game. They had a beer cart for everyone aside from the bar, allowing us to still have a great time while we waited. Our table was available within the timeframe we were told.

      We sat on the patio and were greeted by our waitress very quickly. She told us she would expedite our orders since rain was likely coming which was very thoughtful. And we did get our drinks, appetizers, and entres rather quickly! Even when the rain did come we were fully covered, so we were still comfortable despite the weather.

      We ordered the trashcan nachos for our appetizer, which was a limited time app shown on the front of the menu. The nachos have the perfect amount of toppings. They didn't skimp on anything but they weren't so drenched that they were difficult to eat. I ordered the French dip sandwich since it was labeled as a crowd favorite on their menu. It was the perfect size and tasted delicious!

      Inside there was plenty of seating and a large bar. There are multiple tvs showing any game you could potentially want to see.

      If you're looking for a great stop before an event at Nationwide, I highly recommend Boston's!

      **Officially 3.5/5 Stars**

      We were in this neck of the woods for an event and were looking for a place to watch the CBJ game and settled on Boston's. I've been here one other time, also for a CBJ away game, and it was an equally good experience.

      Since it was a Tuesday night and not much going on downtown, the restaurant was unsurprisingly kinda slow. The host showed us to our seat and was nice enough to change the channel on one of the TVs so we could watch the game. This place has a ton of TVs which was nice.

      Our service was really good, if not a little too good just due to the kind of slow nature of the evening. We ordered the appetizer at the same time as our entrees and they came out at basically the same time, which wasn't a big deal.

      My only complaint was on the temperature of the burger. I asked for it to be medium and it came out a little closer to medium rare, but was still good. The fries were crispy and light, also hard to not finish off. As for the bandera bread, this was really good and the spicy ranch went well with the flavors.

      Overall, I'd be happy to come back.

      We had a terrible experience our first time here. The service and the food were terrible by any measurement. I've posted reviews to which the restaurant responded "we want to make this right with you. Please email us directly". Which I've done no less than 4 times. I've received ZERO communication from them. If I could give them less than one star, I would for continued poor, poor customer service.

      This is their so-called Margarita pizza. Terrible!

      It's a really good place to eat before a game. I went with my girlfriend before the Columbus vs Monterrey game, the place was packed but we still sat down in a booth. We ordered 2 32oz beers, some nachos, a medium pizza and 15 boneless wings and it ended up being $90 with tip. It was a little more expensive that what I thought, and it sucked that you cannot see the prize of the beer and other beverages in the menu.

      Nice bar on a sat afternoon during week zero of college football. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The only downside was not having the Notre Dame game on.

      I've been here a few times and have always had pretty good food and great service. I love that there are tons of TVs so you really can't have a bad seat, especially for CBJ game nights which is the only time I've been here. It's not in an ideal location for visiting unless I'm going to a game or otherwise in the Arena District. Today I stopped by for the first time in a few years after an event at the arena. We were seated in a booth in the bar area and the hostess changed a TV for us when we said we were there to watch the CBJ game which was nice. We ordered the Bandera Bread for an appetizer and I had the French Dip for my entree. The bread came out and was super hot, crisp, and cheesy. I really enjoyed this but would have enjoyed if we'd had more time to enjoy it but our entrees came out immediately after since it wasn't very busy. The french dip was good, but not great. It was really lacking in flavor, especially salt. I added some salt to the jus and that helped a bit but it could have used more. The fries were really nice and hot and crispy. We had very attentive service and I would return, but maybe will try a pizza next time.

      Went here last night for the Dan + Shay Heartbreak On The Map Tour I got Garlic Parmesan wings because those are my favorite the wait for a table was around 30-45 minutes but technically waited less than that which was really suprising anyways I've went to many places to get garlic Parmesan wings and this one had cheese on it the other place I've been had never had cheese on it and the wings were really good and so was the service waiters and cooks were really fast we ordered our food and 10 minutes later food came out and it was super busy and we got our food in 10 minutes it was insane and really liked eating there lots of tvs and got to watch the beginning of the Ohio state basketball game this was such a good place for food definitely recommend

      I was really disappointed the last time we went. I use to go here a lot in the past and it was so good. My husband and I haven't been here in a few years and went to dinner recently. The food was dry, not the great flavor like before. Wings were ok but not hot my husband said. I was really disappointed in the nachos, they were a favorite of mine in the past. I honestly won't rush to go back but might stop back in if we go to the Arena for event. Seems the food quality and service has went down hill.

      Stopped by here before we went to Kemba, it was pretty good and a little pricey. The highlight was definitely the spinach artichoke dip and crust. I would say the down fall was the lemon pepper wings, I have never been so overwhelmed by seasoning which sounds slightly dramatic but phew..I also had hot wings which could've used more sauce, they seem to pour the sauce directly in the middle and you have to roll your wings in it to get the flavor. The blue cheese was on point. BBQ pizza was also delicious! Our server, Shawn/Sean also did a great job when things got a bit busy he was still attentive.
