Eddie George’s Grille 27 in Port Columbus International Airport is an airport version of the famed location on The Ohio State University campus. HMSHost opened this restaurant in partnership with the G.R.E.A.T. Grille Group, renowned Ohio State football legend turned restaurateur Eddie George, and the Columbus Regional Airport Authority. It offers travelers an inviting and fun sports theme showcasing the football spirit of Columbus along with a diverse menu to excite travelers’ culinary expectations.
Aside from the best sports viewing you could imagine in between flights, Eddie’s versatile menu offers a lot more than bar food, providing a dynamic selection ranging from mouthwatering breakfast options to gourmet appetizers to upscale spins on sports bar favorites and hand-crafted entrees. Both posh and fun, Eddie’s signature items like blackened fish and the deep fried cheeseburger will transport diners to town. The street tacos are also a fan favorite.
Finding something to sip on during the game is a breeze too, with local craft beers from Columbus Brewing and wines from the Cellar 27 wine room. Travelers can have fun ordering specialty cocktails as well, with names harkening the stuff of greatness in the football world; like ‘The Heisman’ which is made with vodka, rum, triple sec, black raspberry liqueur, blue curacao, sour & sprite.
Eddie George, a nine-season NFL star running back for the Tennessee Titans and 1995 Heisman Trophy winner at The Ohio State University, opened his first restaurant in Nashville followed by a second located in the heart of The Ohio State University campus. The Eddie George’s Grille 27 experience that so many have raved about is the perfect fit for Columbus travelers. From kickoff to take-off; from breakfast to dinnertime, he took this one all the way for a touchdown, and it’s how Port Columbus and HMSHost go the distance daily to serve their guests.
