Not sure but I think that's the last business in that whole building. Time to photograph it before it's knocked down.
Last year I heard something about that property being slated for some environmentally-friendly development, but I haven't heard anything about that since.

There's at least two more still open that I know of. One the corner of Sawmill and Hard Rd, and Dublin Granville Rd and 71.

Back in 1980 a girlfriend took me to Columbus for the Michigan OSU game. I think it was a Max and Erma's she took me to. It had tables on all different levels and a diferent type of phone on each table.
The idea was you could call other tables.
Was that a Max and Erma's?
Is there a place like that in Columbus?
Was I doing recreational drugs in the 70's?(answer to last one is yes)

Yeah, the M&E on Kenny was originally a big "singles joint" when that was still even a thing, and the phones on the tables were literally there to hook up with people. Awesome.

(answer to last one is yes)That was Max & Ermas. They had the phone number on the lamp over the table. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

Not shocked by this news at all. My last experience with Max & Erma's was in that very location about two years ago. It was a Friday night, and the place was dead. We got our food an hour and a half after ordering. The order was wrong, the food was cold and we had to go to the bar to get drink refills.
It broke my heart, because I had so many fond memories of my Parents taking my brother and I there when we were kids. We always went on Sunday nights so we could listen to the Jazz bands that played there after our meal. As a young and budding drummer, that was a real thrill for me because I had never been to a concert at that point.

I used to like eating at the Max and Erma's in City Center under the Lazurus skywalk with the window seat.
According to their website, it looks to like there are 15 around Columbus and one in Lancaster.

Sad to see it go, I've been there many times.
Anybody know if they've decided they can retrofit the existing building to comply with ADA or if they will tear it down?

The Easton location is still open. It's usually pretty busy too but I don't know how the service is as I haven't eaten there.
