Rating: 4/5 stars

Review: “The Cannon is a really popular gathering place in Uptown Columbus, a very good micro-brewery, with excellent food. Great burgers, sandwiches, salads and pizzas. The ‘Sunspots’ sweet potato fries with raspberry sauce are divine. The fish tacos are scrumptious. And the sliders, with their beer-battered fries and sweet-tangy barbecue sauce, will keep you coming back,” said Mary Jane.
