I began to work in the neighborhood not long ago and have stopped by this restaurant a few times to take out subs for lunch. The subs I have had, including Super Smith Sub and Chicken Parmesan, were so good! The prices were very reasonable with the portion of food! Mostly, the staff were friendly. They made me feel like home!

I cut grass around this area and I’ve seen people leaving in an out of this joint constantly and now I see why. Me an my wife ordered a pizza and a salad and within 15 minutes we had our order. The pizza was amazing and made perfect to expectations. I definitely love the ingredient choices and how well it is served. Definitely check this place out especially if your on a date.

Heard it’s much loved by locals and went to try it out on a visit. Wide variety of options and love that it’s been family owned for decades and I’m sure will continue unlike many changing places in the area. But food is GREAT too. There is a fun old time atmosphere featuring a local “Clintonville” newspaper which was cool to take a copy of. They also have fun semi-specialty drinks (ex: I’m obsessed with Stewart’s root beer so it was a win). We tried different sandwiches and everyone was happy with their meals!

I ordered the Greek Salad and it was delicious. My hubby ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich and it was so good that I stole 1/3 of it so he ordered a Super Smith sub. It was equally as delicious. (Yep. I stole a bit of it as well.) The sun rolls are the perfect mix of soft outside and slightly crunchy outside. Don’t miss this small unassuming spot! It’s FANTASTIC and reasonably priced.

The sub sandwich’s are some of the best around. Very simple but it’s great to have a sub toasted in a pizza oven. Locally owned so better than support a large chain.

You know when you walk into a place and see local residents – especially an older crowd – packing the place that the food is good (probably great), the prices are reasonable, and there’s a lot of loyalty earned by the establishment. All of that is right here at Smith’s. And the food is great, not just good, great! If you want to be pleased with a local joint that earns every bit of the respect it’s gathered, head to Smith’s and pull up to an old diner table edged in chrome. You might want to loosen your belt and stay awhile.

We went on April 22nd 2023 for lunch. We had a cranky 7yr old and 2 very hungry parents. Found this place on Google searching for pizza and sandwiches. Not only was the food delicious and wonderfully priced but the people working were out of this world amazing. So kind and thoughtful and they all just seemed so happy to be there talking with their customer’s. You can tell these people love what they do.

Great little deli – very simple and straightforward. Menu is small and the food is delicious. No pretentiousness here, just simple tables, some historic photos, and the smell of delicious pizzas baking as you wait for your order. Bottles drinks as well as some fountain choices and what seem to be homemade cookies for dessert. My meatball sub was very good ( sliced meatballs, great sauce, and the bun perfectly toasted) and they even put some hot peppers on it.

I ate a delicious supper on 7-11-2023 at Smith’s Deli and Restaurant at 3737 N. High St. in the “Clintonville” neighborhood of Columbus. I had been on my way to a meeting at the Clintonville Branch Library; Smith’s Deli and Restaurant had been a perfect location for my meal.

This is easily my favorite restaurant. Great staff. Great food. Great memories. I come so often that the staff already knows what I want when I get there.
