To be honest, I was very skeptical of this place. It seems they have a large variety of options, but that is sometimes a red flag for me. Especially when there are Asian items on an American restaurant's menu. However, brunch is a safe option! The portion sizes are amazing as well!! Most trendy places are skimpy, but not here! I tried the creme brûlée french toast, lemon-blueberry streusel French toast, and the Why Not Benedict (lobster benedict). This is the BEST French toast I have ever had--they are circle-shaped (we thought they accidentally brought pancakes at first). Super fluffy, light, and soft. The creme brûlée French toast has an incredible crunch to it and delicious custard--it's amazing. The lobster Benedict is also incredible! The lobster is not overcooked and the biscuits are nice and soft. We came back a second time and ordered these two items again! I also got an iced oat latte w/ blueberry muffin flavoring and it was good! Needs an extra shot of espresso though, as you could barely taste coffee. Inside is fun and vibey! Still have yet to try the rest of the menu but brunch is great! THE CON: the boba. Like I suspected, it is not authentic bubble tea. If you are a seasoned boba drinker or Asian, you won't like this, but if you are just looking for a fun, sweet drink, you probably will enjoy it!
Great experience....unique atmosphere and decor..... food does not at all disappoint. AMAZING!!
Such a fun atmosphere and even more delicious food! I came here for restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised. I got a mimosa, chicken and french toast and a blueberry cheesecake. The service was good and they were attentive even with it being order up front and find a seat. The chicken and french toast was just beyond amazing. the french toast was like airy biscuit french toast and i was in love! The chicken was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Overall, i will be back to try more of their delicious items.
I've been to Loco Social a few times now and I've settled on a solid four stars. They are fairly new and still working out the kinks so I am writing this with a bit of grace. This restaurant is eye-catching, vibrant, quirky, and fun, which makes their home right off Grandview Ave a nice fit. There's a free parking lot in the back during the day, but in the evening it does switch to load through an app. They have a back door for those coming in that way. From the front you'll notice a nice covered patio and that it's attached to Agave & Rye next door (owned by the same company). Once inside the colorful and somewhat weird decor draws you into every corner of the restaurant. There's plenty of funny seating areas and photo ops! I've tried a few things off their menu at this point. The smoothie bowls are delicious, refreshing, and flavorful. I've tried two of their boba drinks. The Island Vibes boba was amazing and I would totally get it again. I tried the Suga Stripes one but at the time they didn't have alternative milks so they experimented and made me one... an experiment indeed because it was not good. However, I've since noticed that more options are available so I have to imagine they've figured that out. I've also tried one of their desserts. It was very pretty and not too sweet, it definitely hit the spot. As for bowls, the one I tried wasn't the best but that could have easily been because I didn't pick the best one for me. While the service has been rather slow each time I've visited, everyone working there is extremely friendly. I have no doubt that once things settle in more that will all work out.
First time visiting and it was worth it. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy. Soon as we entered we were welcomed by a friendly staff. She told us to place our order at the counter and find a place to sit. For drinks I ordered death by strawberry and for entree I ordered the Loco Chicken. Both were great. The drink was like a fusion of a slushy and a bubble tea. Very sweet, but I really liked it. And the portion size for the Loco Chicken was just perfect. Everything was seasoned well. The place is really cute. Every table has its own unique vibe/decoration. Clean place, friendly staff, great food. Would definitely recommend.
I can't say enough great things about Loco Social. Introduced earlier at a Yelp Elite event, we grabbed friends and came back for more. This time PIF, and happy to do it. Excellent staff and a menu with quite a few combinations. We buy separate Sensei bowls then swap ingredients with each other to come up with the best of the best. It's what fixed income folk do to be frugal and watch our pennies. What if something you order doesn't jive? This joint has the single greatest ambiance in Columbus. I'd love my office to be in here. A crew of design experts must have spent hours perfecting this locale. Parking in the rear is easy and I'm told it's free up to 5:00pm. Just some hoops to jump through. The crew go out of their way to make certain you're satisfied. You won't mind tipping big in here! 07/24
