I'm really not sure why this place has such good reviews.. We decided to stop here passing through on our way home to Columbus because we wanted to sit and relax with some decent food after our long weekend. I chose Galaxy because the reviews were good and the menu sounded right up our alley.

Maybe the locals think it's top notch because it's the only restaurant that's not fast food in the area??.. I just don't get it. Our mozzarella sticks were still frozen in the middle. Our bread was stale. Our table was being constantly harassed by fruit flies. I ordered my steak rare and it came out medium well. My husband's burger was ordered medium well and came out dry as bones. The only thing that came out correctly was my son's steak off the children's menu. Despite the improperly cooked food, I tasted most of it anyways. My scallops weren't terrible, so I ate those. The brussel sprouts were undercooked and overbearingly salty. The steak was bland and dry. My husband's burger also bland and dry, the egg on top was also over cooked. Oh, the pub fries weren't terrible either, so I'll give them credit for those too.

As people who travel often and eat out a lot, I put this place in the same category as an overpriced Ruby Tuesday. If you're going to charge $20 for a tiny steak, I better enjoy the hell out of it. This just goes to show that money doesn't necessarily mean quality. After not finishing our meals, we decided to just eat when we get back home to Columbus. The manager didn't really seem too concerned with the poor quality of food when it came time for us to speak up, but she comped our meals and told us to have a good day in a very "get out of my restaurant" sort of way. We tipped our waitress and left pretty irritated with our entire experience. Obviously, we won't be returning on our next trip to northern Ohio.
