Ever wonder why we named our restaurant "NASTY's"? It all started with our youngest son, Nathan, whose football teammates affectionately dubbed him "Nasty" for his fierce playing style during his sophomore year. Despite being anything but dirty on the field, Nathan played with such intensity that several schools took notice.

Meanwhile, our oldest son, John, attending 'The Ohio State University', always dreamed of opening a sports bar and grill called NASTY's. Growing up in the restaurant industry, John had a knack for crafting business plans and menu ideas, and the name just seemed to stick.

However, a setback occurred when John's laptop was stolen from his college apartment, putting their plans on hold. But fate had other plans. A friend who knew of their idea suggested bringing it to life.

And so, on March 21, 2012, NASTY's opened its doors in Hilliard, Ohio. From the get-go, we aimed to embody the energy and passion our sons poured into their dream. Nathan's commitment to hospitality ensured that every guest received exceptional food and service.

So, why the name NASTY's? Well, now you know the rest of the story. Come feel the energy with us!
