I'm a huge Yats fan. This location is great and the staff are great as well. The food comes out at a reasonable time and tastes absolutely amazing. There are vegan and vegetarian options for non meat eaters such as myself, and every single one is so good - my personal favorite is the B&B (vegetarian). More...

I'm glad to have this addition to the Grandview area restaurants! My husband and I really enjoy creole food and Yats is always consistent and yummy. Yats is almost a fast casual type of spot because the food comes out so quick. Great for lunch! They have specials every day and always have some offerings for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets. Prices are great, food has always been delicious New Orleans style and they have some Abita beers too! More...

I got my food ordered from Postmates. It was pretty good. Not quite was I was expecting but super tasty! The baguette was seasoned nicely. They put Cajun seasonings on it. I got the Cajun Jerk Etouffe. It was a good portion of food. It said it could feed 2-3 people. It lasted me 3 meals! I'm a happy camper! More...

Second time here, the Drunken Chicken was just as great as I remembered ... perhaps better. Staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive.

This place is fantastic! Amazing food and knowledgeable and friendly staff! Clean establishment as well. Nice array of beers which is always a good thing. Also if you want to kick it up a notch just as for some hotter hot sauce and get the stash they don't put on the table, but beware it is HOT! I recommend the Crawfish which is amazing, I also had that side by side with the Drunkin Chicken and it made for an out of this world combo! I will for sure check out this establishment when i am back in the area, If you're around... for sure a place you should stop! More...

Tasty, Reasonable Cajun Fast-CasualBeen wanting to try this place for a while, and was glad that I did.  Got the spinach & mushroom etouffée and the jambalaya.  The spinach etouffée was creamy and delicious, strongly reminding me of an Indian saag paneer: turns out that the chef does put a little green curry in there.  Jambalaya was less good, but that was mostly my fault because thought it was a lot of rice, what I should've ordered was gumbo.  Shows how little I know of Cajun cuisine.Service is very considerate.  I was disappointed that their Macque Choux wasn't ready yet, but the chef was kind enough to give me a small sample and to answer my enthusiastic questions about the spinach etouffée.  Would love to see some more green sides, as well as using plates rather than disposable bowls--it'd make for a nicer display.

I've been to Yats a few times a couple years back and remembered really enjoying it so I decided to go today to see if I still liked it. I LOVE it. I had errands to run so I placed a pick up order (through Yelp) and grabbed it while I was out. I was pleasantly surprised to see they used recycled material for their take out box and not styrofoam like many other places. The food was amazing. I love doing 1/2 and picking out two. B&B was spectacular! I heard the drunken chicken is popularbut decided to go with the chili cheese etoufee which I really enjoyed. Friendly workers and I know they'll let you taste whatever which is always nice. It's also pretty affordable which is a plus. Definitely will be coming back soon. More...

The absolute best Creole food in Columbus! Ever since we visited New Orleans we've been trying to find a place in Columbus with soul food just as hearty as that in New Orleans.

I've been to a previous location in Indianapolis so I was happy to try this location right here in Columbus. All dishes are served with rice, cajun bread, and a hearty sauce with various meats. You can choose to have one sauce or do half and half. I got chili cheese etouffee with crawfish on half and gumbo on the other half. I tried three of the other sauces and the one I liked most was the etouffee. I also got an extra piece of cajun bread for checking in (yay!) The food was very filling. I'd come back for a visit when I'm in the area. More...

I ordered this through postmates and I'm not disappointed. It's VERY good. Nice amount of food for the price, and the spice is spot on. I LOVE spicy food and it's good for people who don't like super spicy, but spicy enough for people who live the spice. The bread was my favorite part of the meal. Make sure you get extra bread. It's so worth it. I ordered chili cheese etouffee with crawfish, drunken chicken, and spinach and mushroom etouffee. I only wish there was more meat in the dishes. Other than that it's amazing.

I was just in Columbus for the weekend, but my friend goes to Yats all the time and loves it. It's a very small place, casual, of course, and you order at the counter and then they bring the food to the counter for you to pick up. The staff is very friendly and everyone raves about the Drunken Chicken so of course I had to give it a try, but what's even nicer is they allow you half/half portions of whatever you'd like!! My other half I chose the Caribbean Jerk chicken that was their special of the day and I actually liked it better than the Drunken Chicken. I tried the Strawberry lager they carried in cans and loved it! Light and breezy perfect for the summer season and it was unseasonably warm Saturday night. I also asked about the B&B and he said they are trying it out as an appetizer and offered it to us for free!! They served it with chips and the corn & bean mix was superb. You can't go wrong with anything you get on the menu! It's all great! More...

Yat's is located in the heart of Grandview, but trust me blink and you'll miss it. Thanks to the big neon sign in the small window front, I would have kept on missing it. Yat's serves up fast plates of New Orleans cuisine at an insanely fair price. The seating area of the small restaurant does not scream stay here and relax, but is is functional. Kind of like a high school cafeteria. They do serve beer and drinks, but honestly I usually get my dinner to go. My go to is 1/2 Drunken Chicken and 1/2 B&B (black beans and caramelized corn in a light cream sauce). The Drunken Chicken does have just the right amount of heat, not too hot for those that can't take heat, but not so bland there is no spice at all. They serve grilled bread on the side that also has a New Orleans buttery mixture that I can't get enough of. If you are feeling frisky order an extra order of grilled bread to sop up the last remaining juices of the Drunken Chicken. To sum it all up, you should experience Yat's for yourself. Try something new that you didn't even notice had been there for years. You'll be impressed with their tastiness! More...

My husband and I tried Yat's for the first time last night and LOVED it. The store was empty at the time we arrived (6:15pm) and the employee who served us was friendly and patient, explaining the menu nearly in its entirety. We were able to try a few tastes of a few dishes before ordering which was much appreciated! In the end we shared a half and half with B&B and drunken chicken. Both were absolutely delicious, but the B&B was our personal favorite between the two. We only wished that we had ordered 2 entrees instead of sharing! The flavors were fantastic and very much "comfort food." I can't wait to come back and try the Caribbean dish when it returns to the rotating menu! We will most definitely be back soon! More...

Really solid Cajun food. It's a small location in Grandview and one of the best quick and cheap eats in the area. Love the drunken chicken, gumbo, and etouffee. The desserts are also great. Very affordable and big portions, so easy to share a plate. They've even had live music a couple of the times I've been in which is a great touch and gives a nice taste of NOLA. The only real downside to this place is the parking in Grandview which is getting a little more difficult, but overall I haven't had too much trouble finding a meter. Swing by and check it out!

Loved this cute little Hidden Gem. I love the fact that all the dishes come over a bed of rice. I tried the chili crawfish etouffee and the gumbo. I was completely surprised by the chili crawfish etouffee. The flavors compliment each other very well I would have never thought traditional crawfish etouffee when Marry so pleasantly with chili flavors. I enjoyed their gumbo simply because it had a brown roux. More...

I love Yats for their portion sizes, tastes, and price! You get a lot of flavor for not a lot of bucks. You can order a full size of a dish, or a half size, or do half and half of two entrees. When you come, check in for extra garlic bread, I love it!I recommend their Drunken Chicken and Chicken Maque Choux! My friends also like their Chili Cheese with Crawfish. You can also ask to sample any of their dishes. They're all flavorful, bold, and delicious. They have an assortment of hot sauces you can try too.Staff is very friendly and they were accommodating!There's plenty of room inside for a small group, but parking can be limited with street parking and private parking. I recommend coming here for a bit for lunch, casual dinner, or if you're craving Cajun/Creole food. By the way, there's no WiFi here! There are plenty of other shops and businesses around this restaurant that you can walk around to, it's a pretty nice area. More...

Tried this for my first time the other day and it is hands down the best Creole food in town. Tried Drunken Chicken and the Chili Cheese Crawfish based on other reviews and both were super flavorful. I like my food spicy so I dabbled in their hot sauces (good variety). I have a normal sized stomach and was full from the 50/50 meal with no leftovers. I would describe this food to someone who hasn't had creole before as tasting like Cajun curry. Will be back! More...

Low key place in Grandview serving up good sized portions of Cajun food. We got a pitcher of Abita for $10 and the night was off to a good start. Their bread is buttery, crispy, chewy and all together awesome. I got 2 half-portions, with corn and black beans and drunken chicken (chicken with spices and beer and breadcrumbs). Everything was served over white rice and full of sauce good for mixing with rice and soaking up with that lovely bread. The corn and beans had a nice kick and the drunken chicken had a good amount of chicken. Overall good prices and good food. More...

My husband loves Cajun/Creole food and so I suggested trying this for lunch one day. Best decision ever. It was a little before noon and it wasn't too crowded and we were greeted by a guy who explained the menu to us and how you place an order. I didn't waste too much time and ordered a half and half with Chili Cheese w/Crawfish and Drunken Chicken. Before we even filled our drink cups, the orders were up- lightning fast. I tried the Chicken first and it had so many flavors with perfect texture. Then I tried the Chili Cheese w/Crawfish and this dish made me hooked! It was cheesy, slightly spicy but also sweet, and the crawfish was delicious. To top that all off, since the dishes are quite soupy, it's served with two slices of what seemed like regular french bread, but it had this butter with seasoning on it that was out of this world. If you haven't been, I'd without hesitation recommend a try. More...
