16 Best Diners in Columbus

“Was very busy, but food was served quickly and was very good! Server was very friendly.“

“Big city atmosphere…. Small town service.

I tried to call in my order however the phone lines were busy but it didn’t matter because when I went into the establishment I felt welcomed. I was met with a friendly face by the name of Ms. Twyla. She greeted me and gave me a menu while she was finishing other tasks. When she took my order, she was very attentive to every detail and repeated the order back to me. I noticed that tap to post was not an option but that is definitely not a drawback due to the “vintage” diner vibe. I offered to wait in my car due to limited seating, however, my wait was less than 10 minutes. When my order was ready, she showed me each item to make sure I was satisfied with the presentation and even the chefs were attentive and looking for a positive reaction as well. No pictures were taken due to this being written after consumption, but the taste definitely matched the presentation. I am was impressed by the food and the service that Stav’s has officially become one of my favorite breakfast places near me and this my was first experience.“

“Food was delicious, I ordered the breakfast burrito and had them grill them it and it was great. my cousin ordered the steak and chicken with home fries and it was pleasant, reminded us of California, the guacamole was fresh and delicious.... Totally recommend!!!!!“

“The Gyro omelet is amazing! This is a little unassuming gem of a restaurant. Everything we have had on the menu has been really good. (my test is a BLT - if you can't make a decent one, more than likely the rest of the food is hit and miss.) Highly recommend 🥰“

“Great portions for a decent price with excellent caring servers!“

“Fourth of July. Late afternoon. We stopped by for dinner. First visit ever. Friendly, professional staff. Our burgers were made to order right in front of us. Toppings were fresh. Perfectly grilled to medium/well. Shoestring fries were great. Chocolate shakes, hand made, were to die for. This was the best burger ever. Better than Five Guys….better than anybody’s! You will not be disappointed. If you live 50:miles away, I promise it’s worth the trip.“

“Great atmosphere, food and service“

“I am a frequent visitor to this location for Cap City fine diner. All the employees are wonderful and super friendly. The food always comes out perfectly and if there’s ever an issue, they take care of it immediately. This dining spot has such a great variety and I need to give a shout out to a particular server. Matt is a sheer delight! Super respectful and knowledgeable about the menu.“

“I have always heard about this local gem, and finally had sometime to check it out. I got the spicy chicken panini with a side of French fries. The chicken panini was very flavorful and tasty. The sandwich was the perfect size for lunch. The French fries on the side were awesome definitely had a crispy crunch to them. Overall the sandwich and fries combo was tasty. I was really impressed. The only thing that I would have changed about the sandwich is the cheese. But the service was fast and the folks were pretty nice. The restaurant outside was pretty clean and the inside was clean as well. I definitely would love to come back and try the breakfast menu!“

“Went here for breakfast today with my family, and the service was excellent! Even if it was a very busy Sunday morning, our server made sure our table was clean before we sat, and we're so glad we didn't have to wait for a lot of time finding seats and for our food. The atmosphere of this diner was great, too.

The foods we have ordered had so many servings and they're all delicious! However, my Philly Cheesesteak was a bit salty. It's okay, though. I'd still come back here to try more of their breakfast menu items!“

“The breakfast burrito was the bomb. It's not monstrous but a good size for the price of $3.99 that's for sure. The taste was amazing and the ingredients were fresh. It's a nice little quiet obscure hole in the wall but cozy enough to enjoy eating there.“

“I work nearby and walked over to the Columbus Convention Center’s food hall for lunch. They have a great selection to choose from - something for nearly every taste. I opted for Fame’s Diner, which is an Indian /American fusion restaurant and was not disappointed. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. Service was good, and the food was ready within 5 minutes. The portion size was great for the price. The naan was hot, fresh, and had great flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala was deliciously seasoned with bright herbs. The chicken was so tender and the rice was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be back.“

“A true local gem! Spiro's is under new ownership by a fantastic local family, and it shows in every way. The food was amazing--our kids loved the pancakes and home fries, my breakfast sandwich was spot-on, and my husband's classic breakfast was perfect. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel so at home, but Spiro's does exactly that. The staff is kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. We'll absolutely be back--this family-owned spot is a new go-to for us!“

“Old style diner with great hibachi. My wife had the steak and chicken, noodles and vegetables, I had the steak and shrimp. Both were good and the portions were also. Probably not a place I would have just stopped in if I drove by but we were both pleasantly surprised. We will be back“

“Visited Delaney's in Grandview with a friend for breakfast , first time for both of us. Very pleased with atmosphere, service and quality of food. I highly recommend stopping in, plan to do so again.“

“i love their bacon egg and cheese sandwich. I have it delivered . 😋“
