“This is a MUST VISIT in Columbus! They have limited hours, so check before you go.Sylvanna took great care of us. Scotty and his Mrs. made their rounds the entire time, refilling drinks and making everyone feel welcome. This will be one of your favorite destinations after just the first visit. I enjoyed the meatloaf and the waffle while my guest wolfed down a sandwich and French toast.If you disagree about this place, I will meet you there and fight you in the parking lot. It won't solve anything, but at least I'll be able to enjoy some waffles after you whip me.“

“Only reason I gave it 5 stars is so this can be seen. The food is mid at best, staff is decent. The MAIN reason I'll never be returning is because of candy (a server) we sat in her section and she just went missing multiple times. We sat with our food getting cold because we had no silverware and syrup. Then she comes back stinking of cigarette... after we already flagged down another server to assist us.“

Good service, good food and drinks. Very reasonable priced. Everything I seen brought out the kitchen looked good. The atmosphere was cool too. I'd go back if I lived in Columbus.“

They were busy, but very nice! Food was great! They had sweet and savory options. Their food was very fresh. Berries looked delicious, beans were washed for the huevos rancheros, smoothie was delicious.“

“This was my first time at this eatery. I did an online order, and it was ready when I arrived. I looked for a pickup sign and notice one; the lady who came to the register was very nice and grabbed it for me instead of just telling me where to go.I got the Farmer with 2 smashbrowns. I couldn’t decide if I liked the smashbrowns or not (personal texture issue not necessarily taste). The sandwich was really good! The biscuit was good by itself and the combination of the sandwich with the apple butter was ?. I’m kind of sad I didn’t get another sandwich to take home with me, as I live out of town“

“Great breakfast foods for reasonable prices. I've been here twice before, once ordered the Traditional breakfast, and this last time the spicy seoul seasonal dish, pictured in this review. It was outstanding. Great flavor, moderate spice level, enough food to fill me up, and really well presented. My fiancée ordered this coffee, I can't quite remember the name, but it was so good and hard to beat price-wise since it was less than $6. Service was good and the restaurant is clean and nice looking inside. If you want a good breakfast, either traditional or non-traditional dishes, be sure to check this place out.“

“The food options are well above fast food in quality, and there are unique options, like quinoa, on the menu.It straddles the line between traditional fast food and restaurants. After ordering at the front, you take a seat to wait for your order to be called. It's nice to be offered traditional breakfast in a streamlined way.The price lands between fast food and restaurant price. The speed leans closer to fast food, but food quality leans more towards restaurants. It is definitely worth checking out.“

When I walked in I was greeted with a smile from Kim I believe and she was really nice. I also got great service from Joseph! I was impressed from the energy he had considering he had to work till 7am. Joseph made all my friends and myself laugh.

“Fairly standard breakfast spot… menu is tweaked to not be another Bob Evan’s… location was clean and bright with natural lighting… my wife is a tea (unsweetened) drinker and the tea was freshly brewed… I am a black coffee drinker and the coffee was good… a lot of breakfast places try to have a twist to their coffee and myself I’m usually not a fan…Our server Savion was a pleasure..! I am one that struggles to land on an order with so many options and no “go to” at a newer place… I not always but frequently ask my server what they like… which he replied breakfast or lunch… and I chose breakfast and he said “Hearty Breakfast” which started to leave me disappointed because I thought he was just giving me a standard answer but he added “with Cinnamon pancakes”… since I am a fan of these I ordered this with over easy eggs and when he asked about the other side hash browns or home fries I asked what he preferred which he quickly replied home fries… which made my wife chime in about how quick his reply was… so I of course went with it…I felt our server went the extra mile at one check in with us seeing how we were doing… he hesitated walking away where asked how was the recommendation..? Was it worth it..? I was able to tell him it was very good but… I was talking about it with my wife at the table that something just seemed like it was missing… I thought maybe loading the home fries with Chorizo and my wife told me to try some of her sausage gravy and that really seemed to be a great way to complete the meal for me…Parking: Parking in front and back of the building with a rear entrance as well…“

I mean it's a $13 omelette so I'm thinking to myself that I'm going to get ripped off for sure, but in reality I couldn't even eat the whole thing! it was so big!
