Best American Restaurants in Columbus
Two American spots clear our bar in Columbus. Both carry James Beard Semifinalist badges.
Agni tops the list at Delicious, a $$$$ Brewery District spot blending American and Bengali cooking, backed by a James Beard Semifinalist 2025 badge. Joya's sits at Damn Good, the same American-Bengali mix at Worthington for just $, with a James Beard Semifinalist 2024 badge of its own. Columbus American cooking is thin on our board right now, but what's here has real recognition behind it.
