Very cool place, parking is a little challenging, especially for a larger vehicle but the food, beer and drink selections, and different areas to hang are awesome. Highly recommend the covered rooftop, The Mediterranean Chicken Bowl and Seventh Son IPA.

This is our second time here.
The hall offers many restaurants inside.
We chose the pizza place, Mexican and the Zaki's Mediterranean
Our son got a pizza the way he likes it, pepperoni, tomatoes, basil and heavy cheese. He said the pizza sauce was not salty or to sweet and all the flavors were delicious.
We got lamp chops, rice and vegetables from Zaki's. The lamp chops have a nice flavor of spices. The yellow rice has a hint of Turmeric, garlic and cinnamon. Not over bearing. The vegetables were, tomatoes, onion and peppers and cooked until tender with a crunch.
This place is full so expect lines and seating goes fast. Make some friends and join a table.

The food hall has a great environment, and is a super fun option for a large group of people when you can all decide on what sort of food to get. Food is somewhat expensive for what you get based on what I’ve seen, but overall pretty solid. I’d say the quality is a notch below what you would get from an equivalent restaurant, but the drinks and environment, especially if you’re watching sports make up for it.

Amazing Happy Hour and Rooftop Bar at Budd Dairy Food Hall – Columbus, OH
We have gone to Budd Dairy Food Hall multiple times for a happy hour after work, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. The rooftop bar is absolutely the highlight — great ambiance and perfectly set up for groups. It’s one of the best places in Columbus for happy hour drinks, with a laid-back vibe, good food options and a a set up that feels welcoming but never overwhelming.
The bartenders were friendly, quick, and really knew their drinks. Everything was mixed perfectly, and prices were fair for the quality. What makes Budd Dairy stand out even more is the variety of food vendors inside the food hall. Everyone in our group could pick something different — from tacos to flatbreads to desserts — and we all met back on the rooftop to enjoy it together.
The entire place is clean, lively, and clearly well managed. Between the energy, the food options, and the unbeatable rooftop atmosphere, Budd Dairy is easily one of the best places in Columbus for your meet ups. It’s perfect for coworkers meeting after work, date nights, or weekend hangouts. Highly recommend visiting any season as they sort of shelter the rooftop area from the elements and have it heated in winter.

I really like food halls...they give people the opportunity to try a bunch of different things under one roof, or one really good thing if you've chosen a winner. Atmosphere was very inviting, only thing was that my friend and I apparently initially sat at a table that was reserved for a raffle winner, but that was on us and we moved immediately. My friend got the catfish from the southern restaurant and I had the braised oxtails from the Jamaican place and both were excellent! Those oxtails offered little resistance when I went to spoon.... yes, SPOON...the meat off the bones and was excellent paired with the jerk rice that came as the side. When I'm in Columbus again, I will certainly try more from the other stalls.
