This is the best hidden gem in the city. Always welcoming, great prices, perfect food.
I only went to this place for the first time 2 weeks ago and I have really been missing out! My husband and I both were blown away by how good the food was. Not that we didn’t expect it to be- it was just even better than we assumed. The breakfast sandwich is awesome. We split a blueberry pancake which was also excellent. We’re about to go back right now!
If youre looking for a good diner that is cheap, serves good food, and has a friendly staff, look no further. Weve been going here for years and have always had a good experience.The interior/atmosphere is what you may picture for an older American diner with wood booths, paper table mats that have the menu; with that diner smell, youll be smelling like the rest of the day.There can sometimes be a wait, depending on your group size/time of day, but its worth it.
Love this place. Food is always really good. One bad note is they have a cook that overcooked AND broke up my over easy eggs and gave us burnt toast. My eggs were redone perfectly and my husband got his toast replaced. Both were done by the other guy there that use to cook. I work at a restaurant I would never had let food go out looking like that but... they fixed it and it was delicious. Will definitely go back been eating the for over 20 years. I remember when Chris ran the place.
Worst club sandwich I ever had toast was burnt to black. I ate part of the sandwich but couldnt take anymore returned it the next day and complained. Manager or owner I dont know what he was complain back that the toast wasnt burnt argued with me in front of his whole restaurant for 5 minutes before returning half of my money. He was also unforgiving and demeaning as if he was Billy on the Street. I made a frustrating comment as I left then he replied that I sucked in front of his whole restaurant. Had the professionalism of a dive bar. I work the hospitality business for over 30 years this guy was the worst of the worst.#Be like Mike.
We had a great breakfast. I was really cool watching all the orders get cooked in front of you when you sit at the front counter.
Had a great omelette, good coffee, and shine nice homey service. If they have the smores pancake on special, you should definitely give it a shot.
I enjoy this place because its consistent. Nice people who handle a rush with grace.
FAVORITE Brunch place in Ohio!GREAT selection and tasting food. BUSY employees, but STILL friendly, prompt, polite, and thorough!
Family owned cafe. Very friendly and always a smile. Prices are pretty good. I really recommend getting the corn beef hash .. 😋
It’s a cozy family style breakfast place. On weekend you might have to wait for a seat cause there will be a lot of people coming in. The waiter was really friendly and the cashier was really nice too. I personally think the price is on the cheaper site. Don’t expect crazy delicious food like from first watch :) If you would come here to grab breakfast, I would suggest the western omelette (there’s a pic of it here I’ll attach it). Overall was a decent place to visit. Enjoy !
It was an awesome meal and experience and they made it super fun for my kids! We are from out of town and we will definitely visit the next time we are in Columbus :-)
Fantastic. They also you margarine instead of butter for those with dietary sensitivities.
Visited from out of town. Was pleased to stop by this gem
Wonderful small, friendly diner with fabous food and great service. Our server, Sandra made us feel like family and kept the coffee coming! Breakfast was delish!
This was my first visit to this place...what I can tell you is get there as early as possible because there will be a wait, which is a good sign but it took about 45 minutes to get in the door. The food was ok...that blueberry pancake was one of the best that Ive had but I guess by us sitting right in front we were able to watch the cooks is the reason why there getting 3 stars one cook only had one glove on handling the toast with the un- gloved hand...I also seen one of the cooks sweep something off a plate with his hands and then plate someones food I work in healthcare so this is very disturbing to me...but if that doesnt bother you...you should give this place a try because the food isnt bad at all.
Awesome little diner with great food!! The omelet was excellent and the biscuits and gravy were superb. Highly recommend a stop here.
Friendly service,packaged perfectly and tasted great. Parking of course was a challenge
This was my first time going to this establishment, and I have to say it was amazing! Service was excellent, always made sure my coffee was filled. Super chill atmostphere, food was delicious. I will definitely be back!I had the sausage breakfast sandwich on a sesame bagel, with corned beef hash and a blueberry hotcake
Super cute tiny little diner close to schiller park
Amazing food and good dining atmosphere. Loved all the great selections of breakfast classics. Will definitely go back again. We enjoyed fantastic service from our waitress.
My favorite place to hang out and good place to meet up with neighbors and friends. It is the best breakfast in town and the prices are more than reasonable. I love the owners and staff.
Just one of those Americana joints that are sadly disappearing. A great, casual, no frills, good food place.
Great experience. The waiter was enthusiastic and helpful, the vibe was quaint and classic, and the food was exceptionally good!
Horrible service. Stood at the entrance for over 5 minutes, no one greeted me or acknowledged my presence I ended up walking OUT!!!
8 years living in this city and I cant belive I only recently discovered this gem of a place. No frills, locally-owned helluva place for some good ol classic breakfast/brunch/comfort food on a weekend. Great food at extremely great prices and amazingly friendly service. Pancakes are huge, hashbrowns are delicious, and eggs cooked to perfection. Food served hot, delicious, cheap, and with a smile - theres nothing else better than that! I highly recommend them and I will definitely be back.
We found this hidden gem online and its one of the best restaurants Ive been to this year! Its a small spot, friendly staff with a big ❤️ and GREAT FOOD! We were visiting family in Ohio and this restaurant was close to the church we were going to visit. We had a short wait before being seated, then enjoyed spending time talking before our food arrived. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. I had the special of the day, Egg Nog French Toast! It was the BEST french toast Ive ever had! My sister-in-law, had an omlette and a gingerbread pancake! My great nephew had their famous Western Omlette and a chocolate chip pancake! The pancake was only slightly smaller than the plate! Our table was full of the best breakfast of 2019! I only wish we had the German Village Coffee Shop in Waldorf, Maryland!🍳🥞 ☕💓
Food was good. Somewhat limited menu. Service could of been better. Really just one wait working. Wouldnt go out of my way to get there but worth a stop if in the area.
Not what it used to be... Quality of food, the way its prepared, presentation. I realize that with Covid-19 and fewer customers, less money coming in, cost cutting takes place. However, the quality and cost arent to be sacrificed or ignored. Ruined a known, true greasy spoon diner! Very, very disappointed!
Amazing family owned experience!Love eating there.
Amazing, stopped in while passing through Columbus, and it was great
Great little coffee shop ..a must visit kind of place...always good food ...
Always love coming here when I come home to visit my family. Food is always good and the service is as well.
Great breakfast! Friendly and helpful staff.
Every few weeks, Ill take a vacation day and take my six year old son here for lunch during the week. The omelets are basic but definitely hit the spot (have them toss in jalapeños and hash browns!). My son (and who am I kidding, me as well!) LOVES the enormous pancake. Its one of the best in town. The prices are cheap as well. Its a TINY place, so theres usually a wait, but, its such a friendly and delicious place that its worth it.
Tiny spot with huge portions, great food
Any place that will give me biscuits and gravy is in my good graces
Very friendly staff and great breakfast food
Legit staff was awesome and food was great thanx
Best breakfast love coffee
Great food lovely people
Awesome breakfast. Great service.
I loved it and the server was sweet. It was my birthday an Im happy I ate breakfast in their establishment 😁
Good breakfast and good people
Everything was really good. My six year old said we should come here more often.
Fine place for tasty american food. Ive had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back. Prices are decent. I can see why they have a lot of positive reviews.
Good neighborhoodMom and Pop diner.
I absolutely love coming here with my son. He and I enjoy the staff and the delicious food. The price is not too bad either
Quality and tasty inexpensive breakfast great for a night after some drinking or just grabbing a quick bite
Great to be back at one of our favorite spots
The food was surprising good and really enjoyed this business. Recommended
One of my top places for quality american food. do yourself a favor and try this place. nothing but enjoyable experiences here. the bill was good for what you get.
Great diner, awesome breakfast
This is a great little diner! Breakfast and lunch served. When I was a child, my grandmother would make me a fried bologna sandwich. This place has one, so I tried it. It was delicious and it was made with a thick slice of German bologna. My daughter had their potato soup and my son-in-law had an omelet and pancakes. Everyone truly enjoyed their delicious food!
It was ok they us the Microwave I dont think chef Ramsay would approve but coffee was good
Always delicious 😋
What can I say! But Job& Food well done 👍🏾 every time I visit, never disappointed! Ive been a handful of times and these are good people that do what they do well! I anticipate my next experience. If you have to wait for a seat.. its worth it
This is the best neighborhood restaurant in the city.
Nice staff, good food, decent prices
THIS is a diner. The real deal!
I liked this place because its local, the food is great and the prices are fair. We waited a long time (it was around noon on a Sunday) which was fine, but no one told any of the groups that were waiting that you were supposed to put your name on a waiting list, we were never greeted and had to approach someone and ask to to be put on the list. I will still be back.
My favorite diner in Columbus. Its worth the 20 minute drive from my house to eat here.
The atmosphere isnfun and the staff were all very friendly. The pancakes are HUGE!!! The breakfast bagel sandwich was good, but the bagel itself was a little too toasted for my liking. Thats the only discrepancy I have. Food was tasty and fresh, coffee was always full. I sat at the bar. If you come later in the morning with a large group, expect to wait.
Fantastic food, prices, and service!
Easily my favorite breakfast place in Columbus. I am here almost every Sunday morning. Theres usually a little bit of a wait, but this small diner has fantastic food, and the staff is extremely friendly. The prices are also come of the best in town. $2.75 for 2 eggs and 2 pieces of toast! And I really enjoy the small mom and pop feel of the place.
Great food and people!
We got there right before they opened. A crowd of people went into the small diner. I thought it would take forever to eat and get out. However, we ate one of the best meals weve ever had, never had empty coffee cups, and were paying our check thirty minutes later. This place is a well oiled machine that serves up some of the best breakfast foods youll ever eat. And it isnt expensive either!
A favorite spot for tasty American food. it has a nice feel to it.
Burgers are on point! Pancakes are amazing!
This place is awesome. I grew up in New York and recently moved to Columbus and when Im missing NY, man this place feels like home. The food is great and the service is amazing. I have never in my 30+ years on this Earth had better bacon in a restaurant. Same goes for the sausage. Then we get to the omlettes which are not fancy or crazy with over indulgent toppings but they are the best! Not in the mood for eggs? Dont worry, the pancakes are to die for. It doesnt matter how you like them; plain, chocolate chip, blueberry, strawberry, or the famous pancake of the month, they have it figured out and they are all awesome. Coffee is damned good too. Then we get to the service which is awesome. Ive only been here about half a dozen times and they already remember what I order! This place has such a hometown vibe its almost like an episode of cheers whenever I visit. I love it and can not recommend it enough. Sometimes you may need to be patient for a seat but it is worth the wait. Best breakfast in Columbus!!!!!!!!
Not only do the prices deserve a 5 star rating, but so does the food! I have been there for both breakfast and lunch and loved my meals on both occasions. Their homemade tomato soup was SO good! When seating is unavailable I’ve never had to wait too long. They do a good job getting the food done fast, I’m return making things flow nice and efficiently.
Man, this sucks - this was our great go-to spot for breakfast. This morning we went around 9:20 AM - there was a wait but not too bad, a lot of people coming in after us though. We got seated about 9:45. Again, not a big deal. We ordered immediately since we usually know exactly what were getting, got our waters, and then... nothing. By the time 10:30 rolled around I flagged down the waitress - all we got was a hot cake and some french toast - to see if we could take our order to go. The waitress went to double check and came back sheepishly to admit that they hadnt even started on our order yet. I had to split to get to a meeting at work, but I wasted over an hour and a half here this morning for two glasses of water and not even an apology on our way out the door. We wont be back.
Great place for breakfast. Good pancakes. Surprisingly good prices for being in German Village.This is a *way* better option than some place like Bob Evans or IHOP (which have both gone down hill a lot in recent years).
Always a great experience. Nice quaint little restaurant. Nothing fancy about it. Had pineapple upside down cake pancakes which were very good. And also had an omelet with hash browns also very good.
BREAKFAST MAGNIFICO!! When you walk in you are greeted with a smile, the server is more the eager to seat you and just friendly the whole time youre there. I ordered 3 pancakes of which they have 3 kind to choose from, plain, blueberry and chocolate chip. I chose plain. The bacon is thick the way I like it and juicy. Overall a great experience, oh by the way, I am a huge fan of the hubcap like pancakes those are my favorite. Not bad for a little dive and I love a good home grown dive. This should be your next breakfast stop Columbus if it hasnt been already.
Where to start? The food is amazing! Very friendly atmosphere. Very cozy. If i had try and find a downside, it would be that sometimes there can be a slight wait to be seated. But thats to be expected when you’re doing great business like they are. 5 stars!
Best breakfast place so far. Happened across this little greasy spoon accidentally but now its our go-to breakfast place. Simple menu, great service and amazing prices. The pancakes are my favorite, Ive considered asking for their recipes because our homemade ones never turn out so good. Each month they have a different special flavor, November was Pumpkin (amazing) and December was Gingerbread. The gingerbread pancake was so good, decently gingery and must have had a good amount of molasses in there too. And their bacon is the best. Nice thick cuts, not too crispy but not those soggy strips you get at other places. My wife swears by their western omelette.
