When supporting local I consider who I am supporting more than just the “local” aspect. I can honestly say after knowing this family and their morals that I will happily support them no matter where they are located. They have been the kindest and most respectful down to earth individuals out there. Their food is the best in town and they actually care about others. I cannot wait to have the best home cooking again at the new location!

My grilled tenderloin and coleslaw were well prepared and tasty. We arrived late in the day, however, service was good. The chicken fingers were not to my companion's taste. Regardless, the meal was a great value for the money. A nice change from many other restaurants.

I don’t want to be the one negative review but the food was not great at all. Service took over an hour to feed us and when we got our breakfast it was cold and little to no flavor. I think this place is more for neighborhood regulars so the reviews are a little biased. Signed an Indiana visitor

Worst experience ever at an eating place in Columbus! When I first heard of Jill’s Diner, I was really excited to try out a local diner with authentic American breakfast. Finally made it to the diner (their schedule doesn’t always work since they’re closed most of the time). And to my surprise, it was nothing like I had expected.
The waitress took 45 mins to get breakfast. I was fine with that hoping the food would be really good to make up for it. I ordered from A La Carte - a two eggs omelette with onions, peppers, tomatoes and jalapeños. When I finally got my food 45 mins later, it had bacon in my omelette. I am strictly vegetarian and this made me lose my appetite. But then again I thought it’s a mistake and they will fix it. It happens! I asked the waitress to change the omelette to the one without bacon. And I received the coldest look ever from her! As if it was my fault that I can’t eat bacon ??‍♀.
But I was like okay that's fine! it happens! They have a lot of customers right now. They'll fix it right away!
She got me back an omelette with 1 egg instead of 2! And i can literally count the pieces of onions, pepper and tomato pieces on my hands - probably like 5 pieces of all veggies in total.
And to top it all off, they charged me $8 for it. While their menu clearly states a 2 egg from A La Carte is $2.60 and $0.35 for every extra topping - which means I should have been charged $4 in total.
I asked the same waitress working as a cashier to give me an itemized bill. And boy did she gave me even more attitude! She did give me a bill but it had NO Items listed for price. Only that so and so dollars for tax, and so and so dollars if you pay by card! And when I said I want price per item, she just said “your omelette was $7 something”. And that’s fine. Money is not a problem. But their service and their ethics - god bless them on that!

First, they make me wait.
Second, they ruin my breakfast.
Third, they charge me twice the money.
Fourth, they have an attitude on top of it!

Good luck to these guys for staying open with all the damn attitude they have towards vegetarian people!

Vegetarian options: Do Not recommend this diner for vegetarian people at all - Not only will they serve you meat when you specifically ask them not to. But they will give you the coldest attitude ever as if it’s your fault that you’re vegetarian!

Best biscuits and gravy and coffee I've ever had at a restaurant! Service is phenomenal as well! Sad that it took me so long to eat at Jill's.

*edit... Love swinging in every week... tried a butterscotch pancake, too. Great food and service!

It's not what I expected from the reviews. I expected more in the breakfast menu, but overall, it was just okay. No hashbrowns, just tots and fries. No Tobasco, only Frank's. Toast? White or wheat, but no dour dough. Rhodes is much better, in my opinion, but Jill's is not bad. It's not great, but not bad.
