Location - Sawmill Rd. just north of Hard Rd. in front of the Kroger Marketplace (next to Pei Wei).

It's co-founded by Jim Torski, former vice president of operations at Cameron Mitchell Restaurants.

Anyways, I'm totally hooked on their Graffiti Burger. The two patties, the sauce with 15 spices, buttered bun, the slaw... it's really, really good.

The fries are also great, and I didn't like any slaw I've ever eaten until I had theirs. Oh yeah, milkshakes too.

Yay for living about 1 minute away from it. Highly recommended.

I was actually going to comment more on that. It's vinegar based, and even though I like mayo... I guess I seem to prefer vinegar based. I'd never had a non-creamy slaw until I went here. I'm pretty sure I saw a little celery seed in there too.

hmm, I would like to try it, I am really picky about slaw though, that is probably the one food I am most selective about! But that picture and milkshake look yum!

It's worth a trek, my fiancee also commented on how much she enjoyed it. She got the Jr. Burger which is just one patty instead of two. I also really like simplified menus. They only have three choices of burger and then fries.

Graffiti Burger (has the slaw, sauce, etc)
Regular Burger
Jr. Burger

It's also pretty cool that they have 18 toppings to choose from at no extra charge.

I have already eaten at Graffiti twice. It is just great, the quality shows. (It better, with only burgers and fries and shakes on the menu) with the required soft drinks. Word is they hope to expand in the area, possibly in the old Friendly's--Starbucks building on W 5th Ave.

Does anyone know the location of the 5th Ave store? Will it be the former 5th Ave Starbucks in Grandview?

Yep, I'm with Jon, a burger worth eating is always worth a drive.

Had lunch at Grafiti Burger today and was completely underwhelmed. The burger was very bland. It lacked the fresh beef taste a great burger requires. I will not be going back.

Why do none of these place grind their own beef? The reward it pays off in taste is well worth the additional effort.

Realist...not attacking you at all, asking for point of reference:

What have you had that you DO consider a good burger?

Fair question Core. To be honest, I've been to most of the popular places in Cbus and have found nothing to get excited about. My favorite burger in Ohio is from Zip's Cafe in Cincy. Best burger I've ever had is from Art's Tavern in Glen Arbor, MI.

Try a Johnnie's Burger btw.

that place didn't close, did it? Where is it at?

nevermind http://www.yelp.com/biz/johnnies-tavern-columbus
I was thinking of another place on the west side that closed

I think one of the better burgers stuck in my memory in columbus is from the Rossi
