Wario's Beef and Pork

Been here a couple of times and can only compliment the Cold Cut sandwich. Is it on the expensive side, yes, but is it fully loaded and will leave you feeling stuffed, definitely. It's packed with flavour that all come together brilliantly. Need to expand my selection to some of the other options but the Cold Cut is that good. It's walking distance from home for me, so I can't comment on parking except to say there's lots of on-street parking right outside. There is seating inside and patio seating outside.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Then D, D, & D did an episode here and reminded me how good it looked. My husband adores cheese steak sandwiches and he was in love. He said it was the best he's ever had. I chose the chicken cutlet and it was melt in your mouth delicious. The potatoes were out of this world! Crispy, herby, salty, everything you want in an excellent fried potato. They have a nice little patio area which was great for the dog. All in all it was a truly excellent lunch.

Wario’s is a great sandwich shop in Arena District. The location is amazing. Every time I am around, I want to grab one. But, I have missed their open hour. The shop was open before Crews game started. I finally got their signature Wario’s way. There were a lot of Crews fans in the line. Service was efficient and friendly. It took less than 10min to get our sub. I got $2 off on Wednesday, but it was still expensive. The size was big enough for two people. There were steak, grilled onions, and cheese with their homemade sauce. The sub was really juicy and cheesy, but it could be better adding some veggies.

I ordered the cheesesteak with the provolone cheese it was good. It was moist for it not to have(lettuce and mayo and tomatoes) the east coast toppings. I would definitely go back and order mine with extra cheese. The potatoes had a good flavor, but I felt they were overcooked. The seasonal dessert cookie was... Amazing...

Had this place on my list after several recommendations. It lived up to the hype! Sandwiches big enough to share. Had the Caesar (crispy) and house spuds. It was more than enough food for me and my 13 year old son. The Wario sauce is unlike anything I’ve had before. The potatoes were a bit overdone for my liking, but packed with flavor. The sandwich was AMAZING!!! Chicken with just the right amount of crisp, bread was on point, and the Caesar dressing put it over the top. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be back to try the Steak sandwich - Wario’s Way.

I saw this place being recommended a lot on the internet and i can see why, the chicken cutlet sandwich was delicious! They are a bit pricey at $18 per sandwich but it is definitely worth it as it comes stuffed with crispy chicken and is pretty big. They were also very quick to make our food even though they were pretty busy which was nice. The guy taking orders was so friendly as well. The only con was the parking, it was a little difficult to try to find a parking spot without having to go to the parking garage.

My son told me about this place. There is a window to order from but you have to order from inside. There is a nice place to eat outside. Plenty of seating. There is seating inside also. There were a lot of people who were there. ( There was a pride parade there ) the menu is simple. The food was unbelievable. There are re foot long sandwiches. I had the meat sandwich. This sandwich was loaded with meat, onions, cheese. It was just like a Philly beef and cheese sandwich. These are packed with flavor. They are a little messy but you can gat more napkins at the window. They have bottled Coca-Cola, so much better than cans. It just tastes better, in my opinion. There are so many men and women in the kitchen working very hard to get your order as soon as possible. We waited 12 min but SO we'll worth it!! Please leave a tip in the tip jar. They so deserve it.

Such a fun time here at Wario’s! Everything on the menu is definitely shareable, we ended up with way too much food. We will for sure be coming back here! 😋

Cold cut and cheesesteak (Wario's way) were so good! Different but great* *cold cut had like an Italian condiment salad on the top but it truly tasted so flavorful. Cheesesteak had the correct balance of cheese and meat. Plus these guys were busting orders out! Truly professional

I think the cutlet is the best sandwich here (or the chicken Caesar with the cutlet) the tomato butter and soy glaze are really flavorful. I don't think the Philly is the best-- it needs something to break up the richness like more peppers or onions. Prices are high but the ingredients are high quality and the sandwiches are clearly made with care and thought goes into the menu. I just wouldn't judge them on their Philly.

Food is so expensive now. A meal is at the least $15 per person. These sandwiches here range $16-19 (the veggie one is $13). The steak - the best in comparison to the other three that I tried. The steak "Wario's Way" - way too cheesy for my preference. After a couple bites, I could feel my arteries getting clogged and my breathing was getting labored. Chicken cutlet - it was good until it wasn't. After eating the first half, the second half was too hard to eat. Roasted pork - this was the worst one !!!! The pork was so dry. It was almost sour? Wario's Spuds - so. much. roasted. garlic. Some of my potatoes were burnt and too dry :( There wasn't enough meat.

The sandwiches here are massive! The size of my forearm! You walk inside and order at the window. I got "The Steak" Warios way, which came with cheese and caramelized onions. The sandwich was nice, hot, and cheesy. The meat was well cooked and seasoned. If you're in the mood for a sub, I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch.

An absolutely wonderful cheesesteak sandwich from a convenient walk-up with plenty of tables and seats. The ingredients tasted fresh on warm bread. They were a bit pricey, but big enough for two to split, so worth it. The staff were fast and friendly. Very helpful for this newbie. Definitely will be returning. 08/24

Stopped by the clintonville location today after seeing they were running their Cuban sandwich special. This thing has evaded me for 3-4 years and I finally found a time to make it work. Guys, this sandwich hit the spot. I was in Tampa a few months ago and this sandwich was every bit as good, or better, than what I had there. This is a top 3 sandwich I've ever had. Incredible stuff.

We've heard it before, "hidden gem" or "hole in the wall". Warios Beef and Pork happens to be both. But let's go ahead and throw in the word "exceptional". The cold cut is an absolute masterpiece. The ingredients list for this sandwich feels like a paragraph read....Rosemary ham, soppresseta, hot coppa, picante provolone, giadiniera, wario sauce, tomato butter, lettuce and onions, and finally the seeded roll. It's a behemoth of a sandwich, and as busy as I have ever seen. My initial skepticism on whether so many ingredients can work together is completely wiped out after one bite. Even the seeded bread, which I am not a usual fan of, hits the spot. The tomato butter takes the whole thing to a new level. I've had a cold cut in at least 20 states across the country. Warios easily is top 2. It's that good!

This was the best sandwich that I have ever had. I cannot rank the 4 that I was able to enjoy. Staff was super friendly and upbeat. They know how awesome the product is! Worth every penny. Had to go back a second time to get it before we left. DO NOT skip Wario's.

A big fat meaty juicy sammich that comes with a hefty price. 2 people can easily share it so that makes it a bit easier to swallow. We ordered from a window and then sat in the nearby outdoor tables to enjoy the morning sun and it was a really nice vibe.

I did a pickup order for my family. We got a beef warriors way, a pork and a chicken cutlet. The beef was loved by all. The pork was deemed disgusting my many. I found it bland and under seasoned. The chicken was deemed dry and in need of mayo. The potatoes were loved by everyone. Service was fast and friendly. While I enjoyed the beef and the bun was really nice the rest was a major disappointment compared to the hype. I'd eat the beef again but won't go out of my way to get it.

I've had warios plenty of times now and I respect this local biz so much. Recently tried the poutine friday special. Its a treat to look out for these specials! They announce them on social media and they're always drool-worthy. I'm looking forward to trying more of them as they're announced. At this point it's become part of my weekend routine to look up the warios specials! The poutine special was stacked full of meat and french fries, and stuffed with cheese/cheese curds. It was served with a side of gravy for dipping or lathering. The gravy was a bit thick and the sammy didn't quite have the flavor I had hoped for. The portions are definitely generous but I think I maybe it needed less fries and more sauce? perhaps a super flavorful aioli or something similar. Nonetheless no bite was left unaccounted for. I definitely used a ton of hot sauce on the sammy but it was pretty good after I sauced it up a bit.

asked for cbus recs and wario's was mentioned not once, but TWICE! (from 2 very trusted sources) so it was our first stop of the day and it did not disappoint. service was kind & speedy, outdoor patio was clean & well shaded! we ordered the steak sandwich, wario's way & the chicken cutlet sandwich PS. cincinnati needs a wario's reeeeal bad

In the heart of the arena district lies this cool little gem! I drove up from South Dayton on the advice from a friend in Cincinnati. Well worth the drive. They had a line but it moved fast. I ordered the Wario's Way Cheesesteak. It was amazing! The roll is their recipe done by a local bakery. It's crusty on the outside and seeded, and nice and soft on the inside. Nice tender steak, well seasoned and loaded with cheese and onions. Those onions were so good I could eat an onion sandwich and be happy here. The guy taking my order was super friendly and did a great job telling everyone about their specials, events, and their next location! This is the first time I have driven 2.5 hours round trip for a sandwich but I am 100% sure I will do it again.

Never would have guessed that the best cheesesteak of my life would be found in Columbus, but it absolutely is. Perfectly cooked and seasoned ribeye with warm cheese on a crusty seeded roll. Also have to give a shoutout to the spuds which are the best roasted potatoes of my life. All around perfect spot with friendly service and fast fulfillment. Only thing that makes it not 5 stars would be I think it's a few dollars overpriced. However I'm happy to pay more for this quality of a meal.

A great choice if you are visiting or passing through. Exceptional cheesesteak, very flavorful and a big portion size. It's a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. You could split one for lunch and still be satisfied. The guys behind the window were cool. Sandwich didn't take too long at all. Not sure if there's any indoor seating. I sat outside and it was chilly.

ok this place is worth all the 5 stars and hype !! follow my foodie instagram for more content: @bets_eat portion sizes are HUGE and you get your moneys worth. the service was fast - got my food in about 7 minutes and the quality and freshness of the meal was great. I got the cold cut sandwich and this might feed me for 2 days - the tomato butter and Warios sauce added so much flavor. I wish the giardiniera was spicier and a little more acidic to help cut through the savory butter. I also got the wario's spuds which could be a meal within itself - i loved the roasted garlic and hot peppers on it .. no notes !!

We have been wanting to try Wario for a long time, and finally decided to visit before a Blue Jackets game. And it was so worth it. Since we have never been here, my husband and I decided to share a sandwich. We ordered The Steak- Wario's Way. I was so glad that we just ordered one sandwich to share. The steak sandwich was Huge. Easily two people can have 1 sandwich. They were extremply generous with the meat portion. It's a little pricey but it's worth it! The staffs were friendly and the place was clean. The food came out relatively quickly after we placed our order. The sitting inside is limited. I wish they had more setting in the inside, but they do have few tables outside. If you want a cheesesteak fix, then highly recommend this place!

It was hard to get myself to try anything new after having the chicken sandwich, but I had to venture out. So worth it!! The cold cut sandwich is INSANE. Everything about it is perfect. I'm actually drooling thinking about it right now. As usual, the sandwich is large enough to share between two of us, especially with a side of potatoes.

Upsides: The service was very pleasant. The portion sizes are massive. The quality of the product is very very good. Downsides: This is placed right in the heart of the arena district and the food sort of speaks to that fact. For all of the care placed into the ingredients, the excellent marketing and word of mouth, one would expect something exceptional. However, when it comes to flavor, this is a pretty bland lowest common denominator cheesesteak. The bread is soft, the meat hot, tender, and juicy, the onions deeply caramelized. The cold cut sandwich was fresh but not more so than say a Jersey Mike's. It all culminates in something quite bland. "Meh" we said shrugging on the way to the car, my wallet substantially lighter than it was when we arrived. It wasn't bad at all but it's not even fair to say I expected more. I expected SOMETHING.

Killer business man! Been here a few different times now and each time I go back and order something different it seems better than the last time I went. I've never had a bad sandwich here. Even met the owner once. Service is solid, workers are having a good time, you can tell it's a good place to work. The place is always full of people but I've never waited more than 5 minutes for my order. They do a great job! Restaurant has nice old school vibes.

The cheesesteak is amazing. Hard for me to get anything else when I go. The employees are always happy and happy to help. Def recommend trying this place. Especially if you like Cheesesteaks.

Had a steak and a cold cut. Both pretty good with the cold cut better in my opinion. Steak needed some of the gardenea to cut the richness. Also, the cold cut was even better the next day when I nuked it just to warm. Service very friendly and accommodating.

Great and courteous service. The food was awesome great bread and packed with flavor. I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches.

Passed by this hole in the wall on my way to the concert and took note to get a sandwich later when I get hungry. Yup! best decision at the time and the sandwich was humongous! I got the roasted pork and it was yummy! . Service was no fuss. You order from the window or inside at the counter. There were a number of chairs and tables at the courtyard to sit on and have your food. Make sure you get one if in the area. So worth it and a good value.

Wario's was one of the places we wanted to visit for a while, and I am so glad we made it here. The food here is fantastic, and it is easily one of my two favorite cheesesteak/sandwich places in Columbus. We went to Wario's on a cold and wet November day before a Blue Jackets game. The place has very limited indoor seating, although there are some outside tables for nice weather days. An area of opportunity could be to replace the round tables with rectangular communal tables. The ordering process was quick, and our Steak (Wario's Way) was ready in about 10 minutes. Considering how busy the place was, I thought it was a quick turnaround time. Our cheesesteak was huge and can easily be shared (especially if you also share a side). The fillings of meat and cheese was very generous, and the food was very tasty. The price point of the menu items here are a bit higher, but considering the location and the portion size, it wasn't terrible. I will definitely be back here for a quick bite next time I am in the area.

This is my first meal in Columbus and given it's American, the portions are huge! I went with 2 other friends and only got the steak sandwich Wario's style and house spuds, and we were fairly satisfied at the end. The steak sandwich has a lot of meat, even though it looks somewhat tiny from the pictures. A lot of calories are packed into this tiny sandwich, probably from all the oils. The meat is cooked rather well done, and a miss is that part of the sandwich had some burnt stuff off the grill. The house spuds were very flavorful and I love the inclusion of rosemary into it. Dipped into the Wario's special sauce and it is excellent! Portions for a side are huge. Food came out fairly quick given a very long line of 20 people, only took about 10 min.

this place is absolutely worth the hype, don't listen to the haters trying to make stuff up that doesn't even make sense everything we had was incredible, portions were insane, cool little shop with friendly people i can't wait to go back again and again

The beef (cheesesteak) is as good as I've ever had. Including in Philly. Let's start with the bread. It is a locally made seeded roll that is out of this world. The meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned, and there is A LOT of it. Great meaty cheese! Every time I'm anywhere near the arena district I eat here.

The roast pork sandwich was unbelievable, so tender, cheesy, garlicky topped with tender crisp broccoli rabe and a side of au jus. Definitely one of the best things I tried during my visit.

Finally had some time to check Wario's out. I had been wanting to give them a shot for a while now, but their location isn't the easiest to go to. The food is a bit pricey, but it looks really good. I ordered the Wario's Way Steak and a side of the spuds. The sandwich just didn't bring the flavor and with all of the different cheeses and onions on it, you would think it would be packed with flavor. The bread is nice and the steak is sliced perfectly. The spuds were tasty, but I am not a big fan of the Wario sauce. If I pair the sandwich and spuds with some Cane's sauce, everything tastes much better. I would try them again, but maybe a different item next time. Wario's Steak Sandwich 1-5=3 Spuds 1-5=4 Wario Sauce 1-5=2

First time diner at this new-to-me extablishment. I dropped in for a late lunch and with a huge appetite. I made a great call. The sandwich shop menu is well-rounded though not huge, ensuring that I'm likely to find something that will fill the bill pretty much any visit. This trip I decided to roll with The Cold Cut - rosemary ham, soppressata, hot coppa, picante provolone, house giardiniera, Wario sauce, tomato butter, shaved lettuce and onions on a semolina seeded roll. A lot of flavor happening there, but with an appopriate amount of melding without becoming a mess for your taste buds. A great combination of ingredients and condiments. The sandwiches are enough for two meals (even as hungry as I was) which works great for later, or sharing/swapping with a friend. What you may need to know: * Wario's is located in Marconi Square, across the street from the Arena. No street parking that I could see but a couple of paring ramps are in the area (I'm from out of town, so locals likely know more). * Grab a couple extra napkins. * My visit was mid-afternoon on a Thursday. Everything looked to be available, and the 15 minute predicted wait time was only 10.

Absolutely incredible spot. Small menu but makes it easy to decide what you want. Plus every option they completely knock out of the park. Decent prices and huge portions. Only outdoor seating and order at the window. Best sandwich I have had in a long time and the loaded fries are out of this world. The cookie of the day was even amazing. 10/10 spot!

Ordered two sandwiches to go for a co worker and myself. This was a spot I had been wanting to try for a while. We both ordered "the steak". It was ok I just felt like it needed more cheese or sauce it was basically just meat and onion. I ended up adding a bit of the sauce from the house spuds, which were fantastic by the way. I would like to try a different sandwich next time, my co worker insisted on "the steak". Overall it was good but a little pricey.

After my last visit to try the staple cheesesteak sandwich, I was excited to return and try something else on the menu. This time we brought another couple who had never been to Warios, and needless to say we talked it up so much that the expectations were very high. We actually stopped by on the way to a Crew game, and luckily got there just before 7pm when they close, sigh. I had my eye on the 'Saturday special' -- the Monte Cristo, but not to my surprise, they had already sold out of these. Thus, my SO and I decided to split the chicken cutlet sandwich. The menu describes this sandwich as "crispy chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, tomato butter, picante provolone and Wario sauce on a semolina seeded roll". The sandwich itself is definitely Instagram worthy with its decadent four layers of fried chicken. However, given the amount of starch, I found the sandwich to be quite dry and difficult to put down without a good amount of water. I wish they would've added more tomato butter or Wario sauce to balance this out. I also wasn't a huge fan of the broccoli rabe and thought they could've used a better vegetable to take its place. That said, I think this was a one off experience as we very much enjoyed our prior visit and the cheesesteak sandwich. No doubt I will be back for another go around, and hoping I will be there in time to try the Saturday special!

Warios has always been one of my favorite beef and pork sandwich places. The service is always super grate, friendly employees, and even better beef. A lot was going on in downtown Columbus so there was a long line at the outside window. It went by super quick and by the time I ordered it only took 10 minutes before our food was ready! I ordered the Warios way sand which, which only comes on 1 size, & house spuds with the Parmesan sauce. I was impressed by how fast our food was ready. There was a lot of seating outside but very little on the inside. Warios is such a little hole in the wall place that most people prolly miss, but check it out because you won't be disappointed.

Wow! That Warios steak sandwich.... Delish!! I was on the fence about what to order. So many good reviews on the chicken cutlets or cold cut sandwich. I was so uncertain. What I am certain about is that there probably is no wrong choice! The steak was cooked, sliced,seasoned to perfection. The bread was so complimentary. We ordered via uberEats and the food traveled exceptionally well. The spuds were salty crispy delights.

HOLY COW AMAZING!!!!! First of many here. Customer service was so great and had awesome recs. The portion size is hugeeee and worth every bite. You have to have one!!

12/10. Not exaggerating!! I LOVED the cold cut Italian. I wish I lived in Columbus, because I would be at Wario's weekly!!! They are right across from the Blue Jackets arena, so stop and get a delicious sub before going in for a game!

Delicious and a huge serving. Those potatoes are so good!!!! The staff is super nice. I tried the chicken cutlet sandwich. Omgosh, I can't wait to go back.

This is the kind of spot real sandwich lovers need to check out! Peep this massive chorizo sausage! It was today's special: chorizo sausage from Hungarian butcher on the most insanely delicious semolina bread loaded with sauerkraut, avocado, tomato, some awesome sauce of unknown origin, everything bagel seasoning... it was around $20 so not for the budget-conscious, but we shared the enormous sammy-meets-sausage and still ate until we hurt. Dude. Seriously. Show this local spot some love because it's crazy good!

If you like greasy impossible to eat with your hands food this place is the place for you. The quality seems fine. The service was fine too.

To me the cheesesteak was average I'm really not a fan of the cheese wiz next I will try it without the cheese wiz. Since this was my first time I wanted to try it just the way it came, I would recommend placing you order online especially if it's a cold day since there is no where to stand inside, this is an outside establishment. I also thought it was a little pricey, but its enough for two people. I would like to try some of the other sandwiches they offer, so yes this mean I will be back.

I was looking for a sandwich place on my overnight here in Columbus. I ran across this local spot and I thought I would give it a shot. I'm glad I did. This small eatery has a small and simple menu but I knew I was in the right spot when there were over a dozen people ordering. Always go where the locals go! I asked what was good and the guy said their best selling was the cheese steak but his favorite was the roasted pork. I went with the cheese steak. This sandwich is loaded with flavor. It has a great tasting shaved steak on it, that is well seasoned, peppers and onion that are cooked into it and then their homemade cheese sauce. This is all put into a very sturdy roll that holds all of this goodness in without falling apart. The roll is crisp on the outside chewy on the inside and holds up well. I got a side of the house spuds that are also amazing. When I'm on an overnight these are the places I want to find! It is so so good! Probably one of the top 5 sandwich spots I have been to in the country!

Literal heaven on earth. I'd be so much thinner if I didn't live near this place ugh.

One of my favorite sandwich places in Columbus! The cheesesteak is delicious and a must try but have you tried the Vegetarian?! House made falafel, pickled onion, cucumber, greens, tomato butter and Wario sauce on a semolina seeded roll. YUM. This thing is still HUGE and more than enough to share with a buddy, but not as heavy as their meat forward sandwiches. Leaves more stomach room for a side of their delicious house spuds!

WOWZERS I'm writing this literally as I'm stuffing my face with a Wario's cold cut sandwich because it is THAT good, and the people need to know. Fresh bread that stands up to the ingredients in the sandwich. Can tell they're using quality meats and cheeses. The tangy house made giadiniera sets it over the top. I've had the steak sandwich before. Very rich, very heavy (like it's supposed to be). It was excellent, but I like a little bit of acid to cut through the richness. The cold cut sandwich is the perfect balance. The sandwiches are MASSIVE so plan to have leftovers or split with a friend (one you really like-- they gotta deserve the goodness!).

These subs weee awesome! Worth the price100% I am super excited they have opened this Clintonville store!

First visit and we're already big fans. Heard about this place online and wanted to give it a shot. Came over on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. There were cars lined up in the side street to get pickup order, which was a good sign! We found out later that the interior seating is closed on the weekend, but you can take your order across the street to Whistle & Keg and enjoy it there with some drinks. We got the Primanti's sandwich special. French friends, pastrami (and some other meats), coleslaw, and cheese on a long-ass roll. Big sandwich, big taste! The sandwich had well-balanced flavor; it was packed but didn't fall apart after one bite. Another great item we tried was the house spuds. Smashed, fried potatoes with parm, herbs and salt. How could that go wrong? It couldn't. Delish. Lastly, we got a stuffed cookie. First, these things are huge. They weren't on our radar, but the sample cookie sitting at the order window changed our minds and made this a must-try. Yum! Sweet but not cloying, a touch underbaked, stuffed with a brownies? I'm a happy camper. This is definitely a cookie for two... but I'd be happy to eat it solo. My partner and I are looking forward to coming back to try other sandwiches, and I've got my eye on the churched up fries with toppings. Oh! And in this experience, the service was quick--about 5-6 minutes--but still long enough to know the sandwich and spuds were made-to-order.

Subs bigger than my forearm. So many chicken cutlets between the bread. Amazing flavors. These guys are true sandwich artists. I would absolutely stop here anytime I come back to Columbus.
