The Goat RiverSouth: A Hip American Eatery in Columbus, OH

I made an impromptu visit to The Goat located inside the LC RiverSouth building. Upon entering, you'll notice the cozy setup, with a coffee shop to the right and the hostess desk front and center. It was late afternoon and not too busy, so we were seated quickly. Our server was fantastic--friendly and helpful in explaining the menu, even sharing a few personal favorites. I opted for the chicken sandwich with waffle fries, while my lunch partner went with the sheet tray nachos. It took a little while for the food to arrive, but everything came out hot and fresh. I modified my chicken sandwich to skip the pimento cheese and requested the hot honey on the side. While the honey sauce was runny and lacked the heat I was expecting, the chicken itself was tender, crispy, and well-cooked. The waffle fries were generously seasoned and delicious. My partner loved the sheet tray nachos. The seasoned chips were loaded with black beans, corn salsa, cheese sauce, tomatoes, chicken, and pork belly. She raved about how well the flavors blended and declared this her new go-to spot for nachos. We had a pleasant experience at The Goat and will definitely be back. It's a great spot for a casual bite, and I'd love to explore more of the menu next time!

I like the ambience. The service was not the best. The food was amazing and our drinks were OK. We sat at the bar. The seats weren't the greatest, but it was nice. We were able to have good conversation with each other so it wasn't too loud. We got two drinks and the baked potato tots. They were amazing. Our drinks didn't seem to have that great of flavor the presentation of the drink really missed the mark. I don't know how to explain it except that when I got my drink I was really, OK and..... It was the most boring drink I've ever seen the lame piece of orange peel in. It just did not look appetizing and as a garnish, it was pretty lame. I suppose I'm an artistic person and the presentation of your food should entice people to want to eat it similar with a drink. It was a fun place to go. I have to say the food is good. I probably will go there again, though I think it would have to be for a special occasion.

Came in late on a weekday. Staff were friendly and restaurant is always clean and well-kept. Tots were absolutely delicious- probably the best thing we ordered! Burger was a classic and chicken wrap was good but sauce was sparse so was hard to enjoy in the moment. Sweet potato fries were good but needed some sort of dipping sauce.

Stayed in Columbus for the weekend at LC Guesthouse. The GOAT is in an adjacent building and delivers free if you stay at one of their apartments! Ordered breakfast: two sausage patties, two eggs two hash browns... $10!! Both of us ate and were GOOD. We had to call about our delivery and they admitting to being overwhelmed but sent someone over immediately, which they didn't have to do, I was going to pick it up since it was next door ( they deliver RIGHT to your suite door as well!) But the SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE is the kicker ... PERFECTION. Not cheesecake with some canned mush slathered on top ... it's like oatcrusted infused into the batter EXCELLENCE. It's SO GOOD.

Came here a couple of years ago when they had an extensive burger menu that tasted fantastic so we decided to come back last month but their menu must have been revamped because the old food was not available. Nonetheless, the food still tasted good, the server was friendly, and the vibes were chill. I would highly recommend the Chicken bacon ranch mac and try one of their cocktails if you're feeling it. Also ordered the Nashvegas Burger but was not as impressed as before. For whoever is in charge, bring back the old burger menu, please!
