A favorite with locals and nearby Columbus Academy students and graduates, Gahanna Grill is a neighborhood hangout whose modest ambience belies its popularity. The tables have laminated advertisements for local businesses, and the chairs may be unstable to the point that they require placement of a sugar packet or two under the legs. The menu, however, more than makes up for these peccadilloes. Offerings are extensive, including deep-fried mushrooms, a variety of salads, sandwiches and hearty soups, and full-portioned dinners of white fish, walleye, seafood, broiled chicken, prime rib, strip steak, chops and ribs. Gahanna's true claim to fame is the Beanie Burger, topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and homemade slaw. Those who can polish off a Double Beanie get their picture on the wall and a free T-shirt. The faint of heart can opt for the more modest Academy version, covered with Swiss cheese, bacon, and onions.
