4th & State, 152 E. State St., Columbus, OH 43215

Whether you’re brunching the morning away or looking for a delicious dinner on a night out, 4th & State has it all. Stop by in the morning, and you might have a hard time choosing just one item from their breakfast menu. From the Chik’n N’ Pancakes to the 4th Street Combo, a Vrunchwrap, coffee, and your choice of hashbrowns, homefries, or sauzage, you can’t go wrong! For lunch and dinner indulge in American favorites such as burgers, milkshakes, and fries or conquer the Maui Wowie pizza, a stuffed crust BBQ base piled high with bacun, chik’n, red onions, pineapple, jalapenos, and a drizzle of ranch, that will leave you saying WOW!
