After 17 years, this Columbus restaurant says ‘new concept coming soon’

Mark’s City Grill is celebrating 17 years in business this month, and owners say changes are ahead, though details are limited.

In a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page, the owners invited customers to “celebrate 17 incredible years of Mark’s City Grill” at what they called the “original location” before they “transition to the new and improved MCG.” The event is scheduled for April 11, from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 7160 Moon Road in Columbus.

The restaurant’s website displays a message that says, “Mark Jones has a new concept coming soon, and we are hiring for ALL positions!! So whether you want to work in town or work on the lake, we have the perfect spot for you!!”

A space at 6801 River Road with Mark’s City Grill signage is under renovation. Still, it is not clear whether that location is intended to become the “new and improved MCG,” part of the “new concept,” or something else.

Restaurant staff didn’t respond before publication to the Ledger-Enquirer’s requests for comment about the River Road site, timing or whether the Moon Road location would close after the transition.
