For as long as anyone can remember, if you made a list of all the spots around Central Ohio to enjoy a juicy, delicious steak, a Cameron Mitchell restaurant or two would always claim a spot. M at Miranova and Mitchell’s Ocean Club, among others, have been serving up choice cuts of beef for years – and they’re about to get some company.
In Spring 2014, the Cameron Mitchell Restaurant Group (CMR) will open a new, as-yet-unnamed, casual steakhouse at Rogers Market on Johnstown Road in Gahanna (in the former Hoggy’s Barn & Grille location which closed last year). This will not be Mitchell’s first Gahanna joint; there is a Cap City Diner & Bar at 1301 Stoneridge Drive. The success of that venture encouraged him to explore Gahanna as his next go-to site.
“I really like what’s going on in Gahanna right now,” shares Mitchell. ” That area is exploding, and turning into something amazing. I wanted us to be a part of that, so when this location became available, I thought, what could I possibly put in, essentially, this big barn out in the urban country. That’s how the concept came along.”
The restaurant will sit on roughly three and a half acres of land, enough for a large dining room, an in-house butchering room, a bake shop, a Bourbon lounge, and a large terrace to overlook a creek and manicured grounds.
The menu will flaunt a vast selection of Black Angus Steaks, House-Smoked Chicken and Ribs, and Homemade Desserts, all served with family-style sides for sharing. One of the missions at this new CMR restaurant will be to appeal to families and friends celebrating special occasions, or simply coming together for a night of communion.
“We think this is going to be a perfect fit. We’re right near Newark, Johnstown, Granville, in the middle of everything so to speak,” says Mitchell. “I really want this, and all of our restaurants, to be around for a really long time, the kind of place that generations will come back to. I think we have a great plan to make that happen.”
