Brunch Restaurants near Columbus, OH

“Happened upon Grand Day Cafe on a Thursday, late morning. The restaurant is clean, bright and nicely decorated. While a full dining area the acoustics were perfect for a quiet conversation. The host and server were cheerful and pleasant and very attentive, checking in often. I ordered the Chicken Salad Melt on sourdough, which was grilled to perfection. The chicken salad had great flavor and just the right mix of ingredients. I got chips instead of fries and the presentation was inviting and even included a spig of parsley. Coffee was good and my cup stayed full the entire time. Check out their specials of the day board across from the checkout counter. One thing not note is they are a breakfast/lunch venue with limited hours, closing at 2:30 on weekdays and 3:00 on weekends.“

“My husband and I ordered bloody Marys. The garnishes were old and gross. The bloody Mary itself was good. The bartender was less than thrilled about working. My eggs came out hard but they remade them. The potatoes that came with my husband's meal were old, hard and cold. The syrup bottle was dirty. I doubt we would ever go back.“

“A popular, corner spot to eat breakfast and brunch in Columbus. They said they have "award winning" breakfast tacos for $16. When you say, "award winning" you obviously have to order it. Now a CA gal knows her tacos. These tacos were good. You can taste the fresh made corn tortillas. Crema, cotija cheese and avocado made it stand out. I liked the chorizo and egg combo as well. It came with an ear of street corn which was good. Make sure to have clean hands because this could get messy. It is delicious. Here's my issue, my standards for tacos are pretty high coming from CA. While the taco was good, a $16 price point for 3 relatively small tacos in a paper vessel seems somewhat expensive, especially sitting outside in a cold patio. Maybe $12-13 and I would have been raving about this place. Surprisingly food is just as expensive in Columbus as it is in CA.“

“The service was wonderful. Everyone we met was really nice.The food was good. However I remembered it being more flavorful the last time I went to katalinas a few years ago. It was still reliably good and fresh. Just not as much OOMPH as I expected and the hot sauces were all not very spicy or flavorful. We got the pancake balls which DID NOT disappoint- of course you should get these. The migas were ok, not great, not bad—we finished them but not very flavorful. The green machine vegan sandwich is also decent, not mind blowing but not bad either.Overall definitely a good place to get brunch/lunch, but I would still encourage the restaurant to improve the flavor, up the ante if you will“

“I will start with customer service. It was amazing. Dom was very helpful in assisting us with customizing our orders, offering suggestions, getting our food out promptly and checking back to see if anything was needed. He didn't miss a beat.Second.... the food.My oh my... everything was delicious... waffles, eggs, grits, egg rolls, bacon, bagel, french toast, mimosas and more. The only thing I didn't care for was the red peppers on my potatoes because they were a bit wet/soggy.The place was clean and had a cozy atmosphere.There is parking in the front and back of the restaurant. An 18% gratuity is added to each bill and goes to your server. You can add more if you want.Definitely give this place a try.I needed a nap after eating so much.“

“We just ate at Skillet for the first time and loved it! Owner is super nice, and the restaurant is small, intimate and charming. Coffees are super good (Cinnamon Bun Latte - hot, Cold Brew with Maple honey to sweeten). My wife and I both ordered the Pimento Omelet, and it was very delicious; our daughter had the Cheesy Hashbrowns - also very delicious. I must comment that the plates of other food coming out of the kitchen looked soooo delicious! Will definitely be back here MUCH more. ????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: The owner’s son helps, and he is probably 12 years old. We saw families eating here too. Bring your family!“

“I recommend NOTHING!! It's round bread, nothing more. Definitely not bagels. Go to Block's on McNaughton for real bagels! FB is screwed up! I selected NO to "do I recommend?" Both FB and Fox's need to get their sh*t together.“
