The Eagle Short North

Meghan rocks, great service and super friendly. The food was delicious and she suggested the best food to order and was not wrong.

Finally. Some home cooking. I'm willing to drive the hour from Dayton. We ordered one of everything basically and it was about $150 no lie. I can't wait to go back and see if I missed anything yum

Always a fan of the Eagle!!

We each got 1/4 dark chicken and the sides we shared were the Mac n cheese which is AMAZING, spoon bread, collards, and sweet potato crock.

The collards had a little kick to them which was tasty!

Honestly would come here more except the prices are a little steep for what you get. It's all good tasting food, but the prices are meh. If you share one side with 4 people total, there's usually only enough for like one large spoonful. If you wanted to eat just yourself and get chicken and one side, the cheapest combo would be $15 but usually more, not including drinks.

I wish they offered some sort of combo deal with chicken and two sides!

Service was great per usual.

My family was coming in town for my birthday weekend and they haven't been yet. The eagle doesn't get enough credit in Columbus in my opinion. They have such great food, drinks, and service also the best fried chicken in short north. I have came here before for my birthday a few years ago with my friends. We started off Hushpuppies which have great flavor, a bit spicy from the peppers and bit sweet from the corn. My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was delicious. We ordered the fries to go along with it (all the sides are a la carte) My family ordered the chicken and it was amazing! The chicken has great flavor and spices but also not heavily breaded which was surprisingly good! They loved the mac and cheese with breadcrumbs - its a must side dish order!

Came here with my friends. We had a Sunday night reservation. They were very accomodating in providing my son a booster and high chair. We did not find street parking, so parked at the nearby garage.

We ended up getting the drums (5), and ordering the mashed potatoes, biscuits, spoonbread, and mac and cheese as sides. This was enough food for two adults and a toddler. We also got the sweet tea, which is as sweet as how the South would make it, but a good addition to the meal. I enjoyed the spoonbread the most along with thr chicken. I personally did not like the horseradish flavor on the mashed potatoes. The biscuits and mac and cheese were okay too. Overall, a good spot for a fried chicken dinner with all the sides you could want.

Cornbread Croutons

I love them and have only had a few places. They are in the Kale Salad.

They also have big drinks.

A great late dinner and I would def. go again. The bar seating was good and our bartender was friendly.

What a positive first experience at the Eagle. We came through for a dinner to celebrate an OSU graduation. We were a party of 8 so they placed us in a semi-private room in the back near the kitchen. Our server was super attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. He had a whole spiel that he ran through in the beginning.

The real shining star moment was when the GM came over to chat with our table. One member of our party had celiac disease. For those that do not know this means they can absolutely not eat gluten without getting terribly ill. As it turns out the GM also has celiac disease and came over to chat through options with us. He also accommodated us by working with the kitchen to cook proteins in a separate pan in a special way to avoid cross-contamination. It's not often you see people willing to accommodate someone so fiercely. It left an impact on me. So thank you to that manager and the staff that helped us.

Food was fantastic. I think everyone loved what they ordered. Hush puppies were a big hit at our table. Fries were great. And I loved my fried chicken sammie.

We'd definitely return!

If you want really good comfort food in Columbus, then you have to go to The Eagle. We have been to this place twice and both times the food was just delicious, every single dish. Just writing this review makes me want to have some fried chicken.

Highly recommend that you make a reservation. This place can get pretty busy. We made reservation both times and were seated right away. The last time we went, we were a party of 9. They set us at a private area, which was really nice. It seemed like we had the restaurant to ourselves.

The staffs were friendly and very accommodating. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday boy doesn't drink. I asked the server if they can bring something with a candle to wish him a happy birthday. Our server indicated that since the birthday boy did not drink and that they don't have desserts, they can bring a spoonbread with a candle, on the house. Usually you can get a free shot for your bday. All the staffs were super sweet.

Ok, now for the food. As I stated before, everything was delicious. You really can't go wrong with any items. We ordered the whole fried chicken, mac and cheese, biscuits, spoonbread and mashed potatoes. My favorite was the chicken, of course, flavored to perfection. My least favorite was the mashed potatoes, and yet it was still good. Oh I almost forgot about the Sweet Iced Tea. It's soooo good.

Can't wait to visit again and try other items on the menu.

My 2nd time trying the Eagle. The service and ambiance were great, it's a good place to hang. The food was pretty good, the shrimp and grits had a lot of flavor and so did the collard greens. The sweet potato and mac and cheese were okay, but a little underwhelming for southern comfort. The biscuits and chicken were great, I used hot honey on the chicken and it was a great choice. I definitely would get it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for southern comfort/soul food. 7.9/10

Savor the essence of American comfort food with typical fried chicken, golden fries, mouthwatering mac & cheese, delectable cornbread, and refreshing coleslaw. While boasting a hint of spice, it remains delightfully palatable for most tastes. The vibrant ambiance beckons gatherings, drawing in crowds, especially large groups, eager for a lively dining experience. Expect nothing short of stellar service, ensuring promptness without compromising on quality.

I recently tried the Eagle for pickup and was not disappointed!
Shrimp and gritz, collard greens, 1/2 a chicken, horseradish mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, and spoon bread.
My favorite items were the shrimp and grits and mac and cheese. The shrimp and grits were spicy! I love spicy but if you don't--- avoid those. The grits were cooked perfectly and I was satisfied with the portion size and amount of shrimp. The mac and cheese was gooey and delicious. Curly noodles, extra creamy-- yum.
The chicken was great, which it should be, because it's their specialty!
It came with a thin spicy honey sauce for dipping which is absolutely amazing. The collard greens were just OK for me. I typically like collard greens, but something about the flavor was just a little off for me.
I was not a huge fan of the mashed potatoes or the spoon bread. The horseradish flavor is pretty strong in the mashed potatoes and I really only like horseradish in certain contexts. The spoon bread was sweet and came with a sweet buttery sauce, which I liked, but overall that isn't my type of dish. I will say that the portion sizes of all of the sides were pretty awesome for the prices. It seemed like a ton of food for only around $50 or less. It was plenty for two and there were still a lot of leftovers. I'll definitely be back to The Eagle. The cocktails on the menu sounded delicious! Maybe next time if I eat in the restaurant.
