Truly enjoyed my visit to Moran’s. My wife and I dined here during a convention on a Saturday evening and it was surprisingly easy to be seated. We both had a different pasta dish (spaghetti and meatballs and the rattlesnake pasta) and they were both fantastic. The mozzarella sticks and drinks were great as well. The atmosphere was great, staff incredibly friendly, and prices were very fair. Will certainly be returning on our next visit.

I was hesitant to come to Morans but within the first few minutes our server Jamie changed my mind. She was such an afternoon delight I cant express how amazing her service was. Her smile and laugh lit up the entire room! Not only that, she served our food quickly and made our experience so enjoyable. We almost didnt want to leave! Thank you for a sensational experience Jamie.

A restaurant next to an arena, you never know what you're going to get. This is a solid establishment. Great service! Jaime S. was fantastic and attentive without making us feel rushed! Pictured are the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Also the Lynne's Chicken Sandwich and the Front Street Burger. Both Sandwiches were delicious!!! Won't hesitate to return.

A large group of us reserved a table for 20 for a late dinner after breaking down our booth at the convention center. We were pleased to find a table and ice waters waiting for us. The food was delicious and it came quickly. The menu offers a good variety and everyone was happy with what they ordered. We liked it so much, we went back the next day before heading to the airport.

If you've never been here YOU'RE MISSING OUT!!! They have specials every day and they have amazing Mac N Cheese. It's not overly priced, and every time we've came here the food has been hot, we've gotten it quickly. The staff are very nice and they always have sports on the Tvs. Lots of drink options. This is best place to eat by Nationwide Arena BY FAR!

Stopped in before a concert and almost had no wait. We ordered a Bavarian Pretzel to start, which was amazing. Then, a Hawaiian Chicken sandwich and a Hickory Grill BBQ sandwich. Both chickens were a touch dry. The atmosphere however was a bit crammed. Overall, it was pretty good and worth going to again.

Went there with a couple of work buddies for lunch on opening day and got the fried chicken salad. It was top notch. Solid ingredients, the chicken was almost like a light tempura fry... it was juicy and delicious. The wait staff was also very friendly. That said, the menu had too many good looking things to try in just one sitting, so I'm looking forward to going back and trying more!

Great new spot in the Arena District! Stopped in for lunch and had a really good meal. The mozzarella sticks are a meal in itself! Can’t wait to go back for happy hour or drinks before a game.
