In case you didn’t know it, Lewis Center is a very hot and happening area of central Ohio.
The development in our area has been bonkers lately! Between new housing developments, new condos plus a ton of restaurants and retail – we’re on fire.
It’s honestly hard to keep track of all the new businesses coming to Lewis Center. That’s why I’m writing this post to help us stay on top of it all.
Here are all the new and coming-soon restaurants and hot spots you need to know about!
- Chick-fil-a – I’m sure you know that the big new Chick-fil-a on Polaris is now open (close to the 71 on-ramp). But did you know we’re also about to get a shiny new Chick-fil-a on 23 in Lewis Center? It’s in front of Staples near Bob Evans/Michaels/Home Goods. It will be nice to have good chicken sandwiches so close to home – but I’ll admit, I try not to support them too much because of their history of not being supportive of LGBTQ+ folks and issues.
- Another Broken Egg Cafe – we already have a pretty new First Watch, but now we have another brand new breakfast spot in the old Panera location on 23 in Lewis Center! Another Broken Egg Cafe has a cute vibe and is considered Southern-inspired, which I can’t wait to check out. I love going out for breakfast with my bestie after our sunrise walks, so I’m super happy to have two great new options right here in the LC. (There’s also a new Scramblers coming, so now we’ve got tons of breakfast options!)
- Paris Baguette on Lyra Drive near the mall is a French-Asian bakery that I can’t wait to try! They also have an Easton location that is cute as a button. I’m a huge fan of Asian sweets and bakeries in general, so this is right up my alley. I’ll be visiting and reviewing this bakery soon!
- Del Taco is opening up off 23 in the old White Castle location. It feels like we have a decent amount of taco places in our area, including Condado and Torchy’s on Gemini and Yabo’s up here in Evans Farm, but it’s nice that we’ll have a third option in the LC! I’m pretty excited to give this place a try. You know tacos aren’t just for Tuesdays anymore – I like them every day I can get them.
- Little Caesars is already open on 23 in the strip mall at Pullman Drive off 23. You can’t have too many pizza places, especially ones known for value pricing and unique menu offerings like hand-held pizza puffs and cookie-dough brownies. Oh, I’ve got your attention now, don’t I?!
- Eat Greek is a restaurant I was truly sad to see leave their former Lewis Center location (near Kenneth’s salon). I’m so happy they’re back in the LC with a smaller but no doubt still adorable cafe in the strip mall near Five Guys on the outside of the Wal-Mart shopping center. I absolutely love their fresh, healthy food and amazing baklava, so I am super happy they’re back and now open!
- Panda Express is now open on Lewis Center Rd. and 23 right near Kroger. There was already a Panda Express off Polaris on Gemini, but now we have one super close to home. I haven’t been here in a long time but I am a fan of Chinese food, so it’s nice to know we have another new option – with a drive-through, no less!
- 7brew is a beloved drive-through coffee shop in Hilliard and other parts of Ohio, and apparently, we’re getting one in Lewis Center. We already have a ton of local coffee options, but one more can’t hurt! I don’t know when this one is opening or where it’s located, but I’ll do some research and keep you posted.
There you have it – a pretty healthy list of new and coming-soon eateries and snack options in the LC. Did you realize we had so much going on? If I missed anything else you’ve heard about, let me know in the comments below or over on Facebook or Instagram!
