We have only ever eaten outside because the bar is pretty dark and smells like old beer, however do not get scared off by this! The food is excellent and consistently with every visit. It is obvious the kitchen is run by a real chef who really cares about serving up quality gourmet pub food. My Personal fave are the shrimp and sweet potato grits, but everything we have tried is excellent. Service can be spotty but is always friendly. They work hard here. This is a classic«don’t judge a book by its cover». Take a chance and join the locals in the bar, the various cyclists and happenstance families looking for some dinner in the Village of Galena. You will not be disappointed.

First time visitors since we heard about it from friends. My wife and I both had the Shrimp and Sweet Potato Grits. Service was quick but we thought we had gotten kiddy portions when the server brought our meals. Food was very simply prepared(basically shrimp over a mound of sweet potato infused grits with chunks of chorizo scattered around and some sauce drizzled over everythng) and tasted OK but could have used some more ingredients. Maybe their pub food(burgers.tacos) is good but take a pass on the Shrimp and Grits unless you want it as an appetizer. Service was good.

Ever since new management has taken over we usually pass by it. My biggest gripe is Kids eat free on Fridays or at least 2 months ago when we went. Imagine the band starting and kids running up and down the aisles. I have kids too but we used to go there for a great date night with good music and drinks. They need to decide if they want to be a family place, eclectic food, jazz bar, or about craft beer and drinks.

Love mudflats ! Small pub with good food and a friendly environment. Like the outside deck. Gets crowded but it’s a fun place.

If you’re near this neck of the woods and enjoy a good pub, you should give this place a try. It has a wide selection of food and drinks, and everything I have eaten here was really tasty.

This was a nice find thanks to Unilocal.We stayed in Sunbury so all there was by the hotel was fast food chains so I found this place located within 6 miles from the hotel. It was late when we got there(10 pm), but we just had to go get a bite. The clam chowder was so good. Had plenty of meat chunks in it and had a savory taste. The chicken dip was different than any I’ve ever had. It was more soupy than the typical chicken dip. It was great tasting, but just didn’t have a lot of chicken in it. The service was friendly and efficient.

I visited Mudflats for the first time last night after wondering about it for a few years. Unfortunately, the impression I was left with is not one that will have me wanting to return. It appeared the restaurant was about half full, however service was quite slow as «all of the tables came in at the same time» as it was explained to us. It took nearly an hour for two entrees to come out — again on a Tuesday with a half full dining room. The table of 5 near mine asked the waitress to cancel their orders and left without eating!!! Sadly, once the food arrived it was mediocre at best, especially considering a $ 40 bill for table of 2, and caused me to leave unsatisfied and wishing for something more fulfilling. Not once were we asked how our food was. I really wanted to like Mudflats, and went in with high hopes, but there are far too many great restaurants at a similar price point in central Ohio for me to return or recommend to any of my friends.

I love mudflats. There is a great new menu. I love the press sandwich and they have awesome wings. They always have a solid collection of craft beers. The patio is great on a summer day. The service is consistently friendly and and fast. There is a great neighborhood vibe to the place and I love when they have live music. Rock on!

Just experienced the new menu options as of Monday. Many great new choices complimenting the old standbys. I had the Mango Habanero Shrimp starter as an entrée. Delicious with a nice kick to it. Will be back soon to try some more of the new items. Service is friendly as always. Always a good choice. Can’t beat the happy hour deals!

I’ve been going here for many years. They USED to have an awesome menu with incredible food. In the last year, a new owner has ruined the menu and atmosphere. Beers are cheap and music is good when they have a band.

We’ve been long time fans of Mudflats … the food, the service/staff and the music. When there was an ownership change a while back I heard lots of complaints about the quality of food and service but quite honestly assumed it was just folks having a hard time with change. Not the case, have visited several times in the last few months and the food quality has gone down and the service is nowhere close to what it once was. Visited last night and was there for 25 minutes and not a single server asked to take an order! I’ll go to support live music but can’t recommend Mudflats for food or service any longer.

What happened to this place? So sad. Menu is nothing without the sauces. Too bad. Fried green beans for 6.99,12 beans total, and no lid on ranch dressing in my to go order. Wings are flavorless now without the sauces. Don’t know what happened if there is a new owner or something but won’t be back.

We were actually planning on going some place else for dinner but decided to eat here a couple Fridays ago. I like the environment– it remind me of back home. The staff was very friendly and attentive. However, the food was just OK.

Been here a few times and recently seems to have gone downhill quickly. Menu is all over the place. Party of 4 had some apps-humis was horrible and seafood cake was almost as bad. Then on to lousy burger and chicken sandwich. Service was good and nice wine/beer selection. Got music on weekends and I would stop to listen and have a beer but that is it.

New owners. Great beer selection. Good music and the best gumbo easily in Central Ohio! Thick, spicy and tasty! I like this place

All I can say is mmm mmm mmmm… Wow! My friend and I stopped here to grab some food after a long day. We started off with mozzarella sticks and fried green beans. The mozzarella sticks were like no other mozzarella sticks I’ve ever eaten. The batter was light and the cheese was wonderful — no grease. They were definitely made fresh! The batter on the Green beans was also light and delicious and came with the BEST aioli sauce! My main course was absolutely full of flavor and the portion sizes were big. I had rainbow trout with roasted brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes and I could not push the plate away. My friend had the special pasta dish that was also amazing. After the main course we had to keep going and ordered the bread pudding for dessert. It was made with cranberries which was a great way to bring some tart to the sweetness of the sauce. A MUST try! The décor has improved immensely from a year ago. The bathrooms are extremely clean and they have added a baby changing table which my friend pointed out as a newly added convenience. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy some live music!

New ownership at a place you love can be rough. Mud flats was purchased about a year ago and while I miss the up state New York specialties I went for I also loved the service and the food in general. Wow what a change a few months can make. Just less then average food and service was not great either. Out server was new but and was trying but they were understaffed and most wait staff seemed uninterested. Plus it was a Saturday an it was empty. Maybe that was why the staff was less then enthused. I try to avoid negative reviews(if a place isn’t stellar I tend to not review it at all) however that changes once I do review a restaurant. Save some money. If in sunbury go early enough to go to the diner two doors down! So sad !

Came here specifically to see a band. The food was OK, but my potato skins were burned. The menu seemed very ecclectic, and my friends enjoyed what they ordered. As far as a venue for a show, it was good fun. The band was squeezed in, but there were plenty of tables to sit at and enjoy the tunes. On the other side of the establishment, there was a large bar, with a dividing wall. Also, the bathroom was nice and clean! :)

We drove up to Mudflats for fish and chips on the advice of a coworker. Said fish and chips was ok, but honestly not as good as Old Bag of Nails. However, they have a pretty substantial list of really inventive burritos on the menu. I ordered a burrito that had brisket, cole slaw, barbeque sauce, jalapenos, and french fries, and it was pretty fantastic. If I want an interesting burrito I will come back, but if I want fried fish I won’t leave Westerville. While you’re up here, take a walk on the boardwalk which is just up the street.
