Handke's Cuisine - Columbus

When my wife went in the well-lit upper entrance, we were with Chef Handke 's glory of prices and photo celebrity ops. We went down the stairs to an old brewery / subway type cellar dining room. We were greeted by Helga, the German hostess, formerly from the Messer House. We were asked if we had a reservation in an empty restaurant with 2 full tables. I was asked to delete my cigar, in which I explained I don't smoke, I just got on cigars. She insisted I got it out and gone, or I couldn't sit. I should have gone, but the self-righteous boss Handke and his accusations overcame my feeling of satisfaction and awakened me to the promise of food joys like no one I have ever tasted. We sat next to the geriatric table in a well-lit dining area. Since the restaurant was next to empty, I thought we were sitting in a cozy place that gives us some room to breathe and a little privacy for our fine dining experience. No, we sat in a 4 person 1/2 stand where the lighting was brighter than the sun. I'll skip the waiter because he should work for a better place. The rolls were delivered at room temperature and the butter was frozen, the wine was selected from the chef's favorites, which were overpriced and common. The worst of it smells like mothballs and tasted like ****. The main meal was nothing unusual, different, but I had no orgasm thinking of taking another bite. My wife's meal looked like mine, but it had lamb and it was covered with goo and lost the original taste. I couldn't get over the deserts. We were told seasonal fruits that in autumn I think pumpkins, apples, etc. I only saw strawberries. Handkes wasn't very busy for a Friday night, and now I know why. I always wanted to go, now I don't have to go again. You need to focus on a smaller selection of good wines that turn off lights. Cut back on the specials and focus on the main courses.

Our first visit and the food was great! Edna and I each had the Dinner Sampler, it came with ribs (Excellent)Sliced beef brisket (good) smoked sausage

TL;DR Review: It's good home cookin', not so much the best BBQ in the area though. Okay, so first I feel the need to say that this is not, by any stretch,

I had lunch here with customers on a business tripAbsolutely delicious barbecueI had a ham sandwich, which was excellent.
