We start with free range, all-natural Amish chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. It's got a little kick and is served with our house-made hot honey. But we don't stop there - Southern-style sides grace our menu, craft beer flows through our taps, and Blues music pumps through our speakers. At The Eagle, it's all about flying right, eating bird, and curing the Blues.

    This is my second time coming for Happy Hour, and again, lived up to my expectations!!! The service is amazing and the food took a lot shorter than expected, especially since we ordered two pizzas and salads, along with our drinks. The pizzas were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them both, the truffle and seasonal butternut squash, enough! The restaurant itself is very pretty on the inside and the lighting is light just enough, without being too bright. The manager is also very lovely and you can tell they really care about the restaurant and customers. Will definitely be coming back!!

    Let me preface this by saying we dined after an OSU game, so it was pretty noisy and busy. Completely understandable in the situation, so keep this in mind when booking! The venue has very modern, sexy vibes. I love that all the booths have their own TV so your party can watch something other than what others watch. The food and drinks are really good. It’s a great place for cocktails (there’s no beer on draft) and there were several bachelorette parties going on while we were there, too. I would recommend for a party or couples night out. Mexican Espresso Martini was perfect. Loved the spicy tuna bites. Would absolutely order those again. I appreciated that the staff was familiar with the new menu for the season and could give great recommendations. We were placed by a big OSU party, so we didn’t get as much attention as I would like, but again…understandable on an OSU football day. The staff was super friendly and apologetic for the placement, so in the end, all good! Food and drinks were out fast, which was so impressive for how busy they were.

    Had a few tapas and the only one that disappointed was the bang bang shrimp. Elote was excellent and the Waygu sliders were very good. Great service from our waitress.
