Let me start by saying this place is full of flavor and creativity. Might be the most unique menu in all of Columbus.
The FLAVORS are unreal and unmatched. I've never had anything like it my life..... seriously.
I don't know what is exactly in Steph's signature sauce, but it's easily one of the BEST sauces you'll ever taste.
Is it WORTH THE HYPE? Let's Review!
CHICKEN WINGS (6 for $12)
I tried 3 sauces:
🔸 Steph's Way ⭐♾️/10
🔸 Toxic ⭐9/10
🔸 Spicy Garlic ⭐9/10
🔸The wings are BAKED then Fried. As you probably noticed in the pics, he has switched from small whole wings to JUMBO party wings.
🔸The wings are big, but not steroid big 😅. They are cooked well with a slight crisp on the exterior. The flavor and quality is off the charts, and they have over 25 sauces to choose from. You cannot go wrong. I would like them fried a tiny bit more, maybe an extra minute or 2, but these are really good wings.
My Opinion on the sauces:
🔸Steph's Way is garlic parmesan base with some extra pizzazz (seasonings) sprinkled in for more flavor. This is easily one of the BEST sauces in Ohio, possibly the entire country. An absolute MUST TRY!
🔸Toxic is their spin on sweet chili. It's good, but not as flavorful as the Steph's way, hence the lower rating. The spicy garlic was not spicy imo, but it had tons of delicious garlicy flavor. These are both solid wing sauces and I would certainly order them again.
⭐ OVERALL WING RATING: 10/10
THE FRIES (see pics for the difference)
🔸Handcut Fry:
These were fantastic. I regretted not getting a full order immediately. You just cannot beat a delicious hand cut fry. They reminded me of what you get at the fair or cedar point.
⭐ Rating: 10/10
🔸 Steph's Way Fries ($9)
Again, the sauces are unreal. An amazing combo of flavors bursting in my mouth. Absolutely worth it! I would have enjoyed this more on the handcut fries, but unfortunately it was on the frozen fries and that's the only reason it's not a 10 or higher.
⭐Rating: 9/10
🔸Regular Fry (frozen fry) ($5)
No matter what fry you get, they are good. These were basic, but fried well and very crispy. The seasoning on them was delicious and plentiful.
⭐Rating: 7/10
JERK CHICKEN PHILLY ($12)
🔸This was Spicy AF. It needed more of the sweet jerk BBQ sauce which balanced it out.
🔸Without it extra sauce, this tasted like a spicy chicken sub. Very TASTY, but the spice overpowers all the other flavors in my opinion.
🔸I would definitely order it again, but request an extra side of the BBQ sauce. It does have that jerk kick, so I would not order if you don't like spicy.
⭐Rating: 9/10
STEPH'S WAY SIRLOIN BURGER ($12)
🔸Y'all, I was expecting a burger, like ground sirloin......this was A WHOLE STEAK 🥹 on a delicious grilled Texas Toast with mushrooms, cheese, and onion.
🔸 INCREDIBLE FLAVOR, I got everything in each bite.
🔸My only complaint is the steak was overcooked, but there was so much flavor here, I hardly even noticed. This is a UNIQUE SANDWICH. I've never seen anything like it before in my life.
⭐Rating: ♾️/10
NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH ($14)
🔸Saucy! The chicken was crispy and well seasoned. I was impressed with how it stayed crispy on the drive home, despite all the sauce.
🔸In my opinion, this wasn't hot. It's a very mild sauce with a hint of sweetness. It is a step lower than "warm" at most hot chicken places, but was still very tasty.
🔸 I'm not the biggest fan of sesame seeded buns, and after having the steak burger, in team Texas Toast all the way.
🔸I would love to see this sandwich on Texas Toast and although it wasn't spicy, I still kind of wanted some ranch as well.
⭐Rating: 7.5/10
STEPH'S WAY TACOS ($3 Taco Tuesday)
🔸Steak
🔸Chicken
🔸Shrimp
⭐ Rating: 9.5/10
It's the sauce for me. The meats were seasoned and very Delicious.
🔸The FLAVOR was fantastic. Per the description, the sauce is their "house sauce." No clue what it is, but it's Delicious AF. The toasted tortillas were a game changer as well.
🔸My only complaint is the ratio of everything.
These tacos were 3 parts lettuce, and 1 part meat. I would like to see more balance. At least 1:1, if not 2:1. Just way more lettuce than I wanted.
🔸I think they could definitely use smaller tortillas to help balance it out more. I wouldn't be mad at a quesadilla version of these, with the lettuce and pico on the side 🤔😎.
I will give a Full Taco review on @birria_onthetown, so make sure you're following 😎.
FINAL THOUGHTS
⭐Overall Rating: 10/10
🔸 Steph's Way is a MUST TRY. Despite everything I had, there's still a lot I didn't try. The menu is huge and continues to grow week after week.
🔸They recently added a Grippos Chicken sandwich, Jerk Chicken tacos, and surf n turf potato skins.
