alive! - April 16, 2010 - G.A. Benton, Lucky $13: - "is more rousing proof that creative and inspired food isn't limited to the kitchen or price tag of fancy restaurants."

Columbus Monthly - February 2010 - John Marshall - "A cozy lunch joint near German Billage offers daring dishes with big flabor". "Better than darn good was the Braised Beef Short Rib and Smoked Gouda sandwich enhanced by fried sweet peppers.  Slather on some of the sharply flavored apple horseradish sour cream-served as a dise-and it was heaven..."

 

THE Other PAPER - December 29, 2009 - Miriam Bowers Abbot - "Best Casual: Skillet, 410 E.
