we ate at the big apple cafe at log pond in newark. the food was good, the service was great. however both tv's that i could see were set to the faux entertainment station. in the future, i can, and will, be spending my money at places that do not. read more

Very good food. It's always super busy but that's a given with such good breakfast food. Most of the staff is nice. We've been having breakfast/lunch here fairly regularly recently. read more

Here for breakfast a second time when we visited our daughter in college. In line outside but routed very quickly to a table. Efficient, friendly waitstaff, amazing food, and reasonable prices. Tucked away from all the chains in Heath, this place is a gem. I am still thinking about the coconut French toast. Highly recommend and will definitely go again! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Small but very good. The service is right on point. The only problem with this place is around 9:30-10 they tend to get busy and have a wait. If the wait is not long don't bother waiting outside they might forget you. Happened to us today. Didn't want to crowded the door. Overall the place is clean and friendly. Will come back. I've ever had lunch here but the breakfast slaps lol. read more

How can one not love a diner?!?! This location was very clean. Small, but big enough to hold a decent amount of people. Tables seemed to turn pretty fast as well, so I am sure they cater to a lot of people. Decor had pictures of the New York skyline and subway signs. A little cheesy to me, but with the place called Big Apple Cafe, I understood. Our server was great! Very attentive and answered any questions we had. I got a ham and cheese omelet, and it was way big enough that I almost didn't finish it. Nice chunks of ham and not too much cheese. It came with the traditional hash browns and toast. My son got French Toast. It was perfectly cooked and the pieces were nice and thick. Price was inexpensive to me. We were less than 25 bucks with tip for two big breakfasts. read more

GREAT eggs. Few places cook eggs this expertly. A favorite place when we visit Granville.

Great food excellent service. Waitstaff all so happy which is a good sign. The double decker breakfast sandwich on multigrain bread was great. I subbed a side salad for the potatoes. I love these kinds of accommodations. Hubs had cheesy eggs and loved them. The coffee was wonderful, even the decaf. Heather our server was amazing. Enter through the shed-like door otherwise you're confused. Here for the weekend but we'll be back. Go whenever you're in the Newark/grandville Ohio area. read more

Friendly staff, good food. Breakfast served until closing. Only three complaints: 1. Handicapped parking is, well, non-existent. But that's more an issue with the mall, not them 2. I asked for home fries with my burger, even pointing to it on the menu. They gave me regular fries. The fries were okay--pretty wimpy. 3. Got their cheeseburger. Burger itself was a bit dry. I was caught a little flat footed when asked for toppings; I'm used to them listed in the menu when it's entirely our choice. That being written, we ordered a pancake for our 9 year old. They made it with Mickey Mouse ears. And it was huge! He's also very picky about food (autistic), and he devoured the chicken tenders. Highly impressed. Food delivery was okay; not instant, nor too long. Pretty much on par with other diners like this. I plan on making this a regular thing when I need to eat out. read more

My partner and I had the rare opportunity to enjoy breakfast out and decided to visit Big Apple Cafe. The service was quick, the food was good, and the menu gave us the old-fashioned country diner fare we were hoping for. I ordered the breakfast burrito with hash browns and my partner got the diner breakfast (eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns) and two pancakes. Everything was tasty. The burrito was packed full with lots of peppers, onion, and sausage along the scrambled eggs. The cafe breakfast was exactly as it should be, and the pancakes were light, a bit spongy but also fluffy, and huge. We both found the hash browns, which are shredded potatoes fried on the griddle, to be underwhelming. Next time, we'll probably opt for the home fries, which are sliced potatoes that are seasoned and griddle-fried. I'm also looking forward to trying their lunch foods in the future. The place is pretty small, so I can imagine it gets pretty packed on the weekend! read more

The coconut French toast is my breakfast favorite. Hard to resist!!!! I also love the BLT

We come eat here about 2 times a month. It's always good, fast and friendly service. For the money you can't beat the selection and quality at the Cafe. read more

Great place to have a bite to eat. Nice atmosphere, great service. Enjoyed that there was a tv. For those who complained about the channel, well if that's the worst you can say, feel free to sit out of its view. Just sayin'. read more

Great food & super friendly service! We were in town for the Night Ranger concert last night. My husband & I love finding "Mom & Pop" restaurants when we travel & this came up in our search. The restaurant is located in a building that apparently houses and auto auction so it can be hard to find, but it is definitely worth it! When we walked in, we saw a couple tables of the old locals enjoy the breakfast and we knew that was a good sign. We did not catch the name of our server, but she was , a sweetheart, and extremely efficient. Their home fries are to die for! I had the ham & cheese omelette. Everything was delicious! The next time we are in town, we will definitely be back. read more

Amazing service!! Diner like food that is always good. Breakfast is amazing. Friendly staff!

Great food! Great atmosphere! Best part for me was, every employee was extremely polite, friendly and seems to actually love their job. Go get you some, you won't regret it. read more

I went to the Big Apple Cafe for the first time and had a Rueben, hand cut fries and Coke ($13.80 total). I sat at the counter and the service was very fast and they checked on me often. The Rueben was good and the fries were OK (I wish they fried them 2 min more). Nice atmosphere and good prices. If I fail to find a GREAT Rueben in the Newark area, this will be the place to satisfy my craving. read more

The food and service is good - but the Fox News TV's everywhere sets the atmosphere to not feeling as welcoming of a business. We would come more often and recommend the restaurant more if there were some diverse news channels. read more

When you think of a classic diner, this is your place. I came here a few weeks ago and sat at the bar during lunch time (it was packed on a weekday!) Everyone seemed to know each other which I always like. Service was great, I had like 6 coffee refills, and the breakfast I got (yes...I eat breakfast for lunch) was adorable and filling. read more

Always love visiting here, the staff is so welcoming and kind and the food is always amazing. Highly recommend to anyone who loves a good breakfast spot!!! read more

Best breakfast place in Newark. I always love coming here to the friendly staff. They cook amazing meals & it's always easy to just stop in for a bite & go. Cute little diner & never once have I had any bad meals. read more

One of my favorite breakfast and lunch diners in the area. Fast service, always busy, and clean. We've had to wait a bit for a table because they are so popular. The prices are reasonable and servings are large. My favorite are the BLT and the Signature French Toast. Hubby likes the Grilled Chicken Skewers, Honey Bourbon Chicken Melt and the German Fries. Actually we haven't had anything we didn't like. This review is good for both locations! read more

I sadly don't recommend the hash browns they were very hard to chew but the rest of the food was delicious the pancakes were very fluffy and thick. Their service was really good when u went there was a lot of people and they still got to my group and i awfully quick overall a great place to sit down for a quick breakfast! read more

We had no illusions. We were just dropping off items for an auction, was short on time, saw the sign for this place, saw the full parking lot, and decided "Why not?" Now we're looking for more stuff to auction off just as an excuse to eat here again. It was that good. In two visits, i had the Traditional Eggs Benedict and Ruben. The Benedict was wonderful, but not the best I've had...probably in the top 10. I'll be dreaming about that ruben for months. Thick tasty corned beef, tangy kraut, and home baked rye. Wow. My wife had German Fries with sausage and jalapeños and the Chicken Skewers on Sticky Rice. Both winners Oh...and try the home made potatoes chips. Order an extra side of their home made ranch for dipping. Place is small snd noisy. Service excellectcand friendly. Prices very reasonable. Winner winner chicken dinner. read more

I was super disappointed that they ran out of cream puffs! I would have loved to try it. This place is right next to the Apple Auction place so just watch out and look for the right entrance. The parking right in front is ONE WAY only so be careful (I almost drive backwards!) the parking was almost full, probably because of the auction place, which is pretty huge, but I believe there is additional parking in the back, too. My husband ordered the cafe breakfast-eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns. He said it was not bad at all but wasn't great either. My cream chipped beef had plenty of creamy gravy plus chopped (or I should say chipped) beef and it was yummy. It was creamy, salty and flavorful. However, it doesn't come with anything. It comes with 2 pieces of toast, chipped beef in creamy gravy. If you are hungry, you'd have to get additional food as it wasn't much. (I wasn't too hungry so this was perfect, so this is not a complaint about the portion, but just FYI). Good fast service, clean restaurant. I would go back again to try something else (and hopefully a cream puff, too!) good place, but I didn't find anything special about this place or the food. read more

Great breakfast spot! Of the two locations, we usually have better luck on Church St for shorter wait times. I love their Egg Sandwich. Always delicious. I appreciate the option to swap tomatoes out for the fried potatoes. Sometimes they up charge the substitution, sometimes they don't, read more

Food is great and service Is impeccable they are fast arc refills and asking if everything is ok

Good quiet place for a home cooked breakfast. Not a flashy or vast menu but food is good and service is friendly and fast.

Great food! Just wish there was a bit more space between tables. Felt very cramped while eating.

Great breakfast stop! I love to watch the friendly staff get their hustle and bustle on! Fresh coffee and great homemade diner style breakfast stop! Can't beat the price either. read more

The three of us selected this restaurant because of its Yelp rating and we were pleased with our selection. The portions were big and delicious. One of us has the four-piece French toast, another had a custom omelet and I had the house made corn beef hash suggested by the server. I tried some bites of the omelet and it was solid. I really liked the hash because it had been crisped up perfectly in the flat top. We love NYC so we enjoyed all of the photos of the city on the wall, it made for some good reminiscing of past trips there. One of the only things I'd ding them on is we were one of four tables closest to the door and it was in the upper 20s outside so every time someone went in or out we chilled out them for warm again just in time for the door opening again. While this could be challenging to resolved I'm convinced it can be done without spending a fortune (e.g., air curtain). read more

One of the better breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! (Double Decker) Our server Stephanie was amazingly friendly and efficient.

Be sure to visit the restaurant beside Walmart. It is my favorite location. Whenever I'm going out for breakfast locally, this is THE spot! Great food, good coffee & super friendly staff. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I typically get an omelet & fried potatoes (not hash browns,) with toast & a small dish of fresh fruit. Do not miss trying their curried chicken salad sandwich. It's a true winner. They also have a wonderful Rueben sandwich. All of their food is delicious so just go! Only open for breakfast & lunch. read more

Very much enjoyed breakfast here. A really good spot. They have very quick service also. read more

Stopped here for breakfast while visiting the area. It was clean and I felt very comfortable eating inside. The food was really good, and large portions. The only thing that would would be nice was if they offered a vegan option on their menu. My son found some items in the sides to eat, but it would be nice for them to widen their customer base. Other than that it was great service and food. read more

Great service and great breakfast. The coconut French toast was really delicious. You may not see it at first. Located at Apple Tree Auction center but with its own entrance. read more

A great local place to eat! There are two locations and both of them are very popular! I have never gotten a meal I didn't thoroughly enjoy although the majority of the time I am eating there for breakfast. Delicious omelettes, great pancakes, and amazing "comfort food dishes". It's only slightly cheaper than other places like Bob Evans. Another great reason the eat here is that the owners donate a lot of food and time to helping local agencies that work with homeless and hurting families. read more

This place had great potential but for me didn't quite live up to that. Perhaps I was expecting more with so many great reviews. I ordered the BLT with fries. The sandwich had lots of bacon which was a plus but it was barely warm, nearly cold even. My fries looked really good, appeared to be fresh cut. But again I was disappointed as they were greasy and limp, not really hot either. Larry had the Farmer's omelet with hash browns. He said it was really good. They did have plenty of help and the waitress was friendly and efficient. Masks were worn except one girl who kept it pulled down the entire time we were there. She wasn't waiting tables but just mainly leaning on a counter so perhaps it was her break. Sadly, it's not a place I will recommend or likely return to. read more

Mom & pop restaurant with a great small town feel. The breakfast menu has alot of options, but isnt filled to the brim like most places. The breakfast burrito is scrumptious; paired with the loaded hashbrowns, both will satisfy your morning hunger. read more
