Jimmy V's Grill & Pub

Solid, if somewhat generic, lunch choice. They have a great, covered patio out back, which was the main draw for my little group the other day: it was a nice temperature, but with some threat of rain. This place did the trick.
They have a few beers on tap, no cider (I care about this because i am gluten-free). Their GF selection is pretty limited, but I settled on a gyro salad... I've heard this place owns Goody Boy, which has the worst food of anyplace I've been in Columbus, so I was pleasantly surprised that my lunch was not just edible but good!

The quality of the food at this location seems to be lacking as compared to other locations.  I had the sauteed calamari and it was overcooked in a fake oil/butter that left a bad taste in my mouth.  My husband ordered the club and our son had grilled cheese which were both fine but nothing impressive.  For 35 USD I do not think it was a good value.  The service was good but we will not be back to this location.

Get to know Valter.  He's the owner / manager of this Jimmy V's on South High in German Village.  Valter's a very cool Albanian guy.  He loves to schmooze his customers to make them feel welcome.  

If Valter's not too busy, ask him if he can make something special for you.  Just let him know what you like as far as protein, pasta, sauce whatever and he'll custom make a dish for you.  Not too many chefs will do that for you but Valter always is pleased to try something new and exciting.  I've seen him do this a few times and he always comes up with something cool on the fly and it's always great.

Prices are very reasonable for German Village.  Nothing fancy or pretentious here.  It's good quality bar food.  They also have a good number of specials to keep things interesting.  Just a good solid place to come and have dinner and drinks without breaking the bank.  Beer selection is pretty decent and reasonably priced.  Bar area is spacious and inviting.  Definitely a place to come and get lunch or dinner or to just hang out.

BTW, when the weather's nice you can either sit on the patio in the front or in the back.  I prefer the front myself.  Always more interesting for me there.
