This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at OSU chapter.
On Campus:
- Sloopy’s is the most unique of all on-campus dining options, as a 50’s-styled diner with table service. The breakfast foods are definitely the best options on the menu, but everything is cooked fresh upon order. Try the signature Sloopy Pancake!
- Curl Market has something for everyone-sushi, deli sandwiches, burritos, snacks, pasta, salads, and more! If you’re looking for healthy options and to avoid the crowds at Scott Traditions, this is the place to be.
- Juice 2, located in the RPAC, has the best smoothies on campus! The fruit smoothies here are made with completely fresh and natural ingredients, and this is also the only spot on campus to order a green smoothie. Stop by for a healthy post-work out drink!
- Thyme and Change food trucks are definitely the most convenient places to get food around campus. Just stop by between classes! Plus who can resist those gyros?
Off Campus:
- Bibibop is located conveniently straight across from the Ohio Union, and makes the best Asian-inspired bowls. If you like the concept of Chipotle, but aren’t craving Mexican, definitely stop by here. You won’t regret ordering teriyaki sauce on your bowl!
- Bakersfield is a hot spot in Short North for tacos and other authentic Mexican foods. Bakersfield is also known for their drink pitchers, so this is a perfect place for a girls’ night out!
- Melt Bar and Grilled is another delicious spot to eat in Short North that everyone is always buzzing about. Imagine every single kind of sandwich possible but 10 times better than you’ve experienced, and that’s what’s on the menu. Expect a really long wait, but it’s worth it!
- Marcella’s is the place to go in Short North if you’re craving homestyle Italian food. The item to try is the spaghetti and meatball, even though it sounds basic. It comes with just one meatball, but it’s the biggest meatball you’ve ever seen, and just as delicious as it looks!
