We came by passing through Columbus and decided to stop in after seeing the high yelp reviews. The reviews are accurate! We loved our foods and the owner was warm and friendly. He made sure we tried some of his homemade tomato basil soup which was the best we have ever had. The restaurant was packed with regulars, and we were made to feel like we were one of them. If you are in Columbus area it is definitely worth the drive to come here! read more

Scotty's Cafe came recommended by my wife's OSU colleague Isaac and it did not disappoint on two family visits. First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship. read more

As someone who considers herself a pancake connoisseur, theirs were genuinely the best ones I've ever had. They have such a wonderful vanilla flavor, I could eat them plain. Their baked goods are also a must-get, especially the lemon cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies! The workers were so kind and attentive and made our first experience there absolutely amazing. read more

We lost our go-to breakfast place earlier this year, "The Grill and Skillet." We began looking for a new place on Tuesday at 9 am with a trip to Scotty's Dinner. We are in the Eastmoor Area, so this was close. We came for breakfast, and we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was quick to greet us and ask about drinks. We were treated like we were the only ones in the diner. The menu is impressive, with a wide variety of choices for lunch or breakfast. We loved every bite of the meals we ordered. I had the western omelet, home fries, toast, and coffee. My wife had pancakes and tea. The service was fast, and the food was very good. Scotty's has a large menu; you should give them a try. read more

Quick find after our Lost Lands Festival what an amazing place with amazing food and Scotty is the best!

WOW!!!! All I have to say. The staff? AMAZING. I've been doing Army training since 5am in the snow and was struggling to stay awake so I stumbled in here hoping for a cup of coffee and everyone was just so warm and charming. Thank you for the delicious cup of coffee and the best red velvet cookie I've ever had. And thank you for your support as I really needed a pick-me-up and this place did just that! read more

Wow!!! This places has earned all of these reviews!!! What a fabulous diner!!! We loved our experience here. We came for breakfast and we were greeted and seated immediately. We were treated like we were the only ones in the diner. We asked about the menu and we were impressed by the selection and variety on the menu. We loved every bite of the meals we ordered. Scotty even came around and spoke to us. He told us some history and we had some laughs. Very impressive man!!! The diner was small but full of tables. It felt like family. I would eat here often if I lived in the area. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. read more

Okay wow I was a Scotty's virgin until yesterday (if you say this in the restaurant, you will get called out on it lol), but my only regret is waiting so long to finally make it to this cafe!! They have breakfast and lunch all day every day, and Gina came over to explain the menu to me and give me a run down on their most popular dishes. Scotty himself walks around greeting all of the guest and even had the whole cafe sing happy birthday to someone dining in. He seems to know everyone and greets you like an old friend. We had a reservation for our large party and we had two servers take care of our table. Food comes out insanely fast, like I had just placed my order and the rest of the table was still ordering and my food was already on its way over. This is truly a quick and convenient dine in food spot! I ordered the French toast and it was delicious, they make the bread in house every day! The Reuben is their most popular lunch sandwich and they also have a variety of fun dishes like latkes on the menu. You can't go wrong at Scotty's cafe, I understand now why this is such a Columbus staple!! read more

Great food and amazing service. What a gem! My second time and both have been perfect.

Scotty's Cafe & Catering by Scott is located on East Broad Street near Bexley. It's a cozy family owned restaurant. It has to be one of the top famous places to eat in central Ohio with big servings of food at inexpensive prices. Everything is made in house from scratch and their desserts look absolutely delicious. I was too full to try anything more than the, French Toast, The Reuben, The Schmoozer and Gabbie's Tuna Melt. Anything you order is sure to please and the diner has this super cool and nostalgic 1950's - 1960's vibe. Scott and Gina are absolutely amazing people and so is their food! If you haven't been, it needs to be on your bucket list! read more

This was an absolutely amazing experience all the way around. Jam packed on a Monday morning, and they still had us seated as a large group of 8 within minutes. Staff is incredible, and the owner came by to chat with us while we waited for our meals, which were fantastic. If you come here be sure to try the French toast! read more

What a lovely find! We picked this place for its proximity to the airport and great reviews and we were not disappointed! Food: Our party of four enjoyed a chicken salad melt, chicken salad and macaroni salad, bagel and a roast beef sandwich. All food was fresh and delicious. I especially loved the macaroni salad. Ambiance: The restaurant is not overly large and has a variety of seating options. There are some cute paintings on the wall. Service: Excellent and friendly service! Scotty the owner was there and stopped by to chat! Will make it a point if ever back in Columbus will stop by! read more

While passing through Colombus, my wife and I stopped here for lunch based on YELP (and Trip Advisor) reviews. This place is special! It was packed on a Tuesday afternoon with lots of happy customers. The staff at Scotty's is very outgoing and greets everyone! My wife had a bowl of Chicken Potato soup and half a corned beef sandwich for lunch. I had a Roast Beef Melt and potato latkes. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend Scotty's to anyone in the area! read more

WOW... I was blown away with this place. The decor was really cool, which gave the place a casual yet upscale vibe. The service was off the hook amazing. The staff is super friendly and really wants to see you satisfied. Scotty, the owner, even stopped by the table to check in on us. The food was awesome - I had the Ruben with their potato salad - the sandwich was great, but the potato salad was awesome. Wifie had a greek salad with chicken, which she loved. The place is awesome and well worth a visit. read more

Incredibly fast! Great food! And yes, they earned both of those exclamation marks. Pancakes had the crusted edge that is diner special. Fluffy, great big, awesome. Home style fries were good. Large pieces fried to perfection again. Over medium eggs topped it off. The rest of the order was a chicken parm & fries. The right amount of sauce so the bun wasn't sopping wet. The cheese was good & the seasoning on the chicken was spot on. Did I mention the speed? They had it out to us so fast we thought it had to have been someone else's order. Nope, that's ours! I bet it was faster than a fast food joint. It's no wonder why they have an almost perfect review rate. And to top it off, the personality as we left, oh my! You'd think we were there every day. Enthusiastic salutation & personalized well wishes. Just what I've hoped for for years & was lost in 2019. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Freaking amazing little cafe. Service is very quick and friendly, even when the restaurant is full. Family atmosphere with a nice gallery wall of the owners' family. Latkas and Mac and cheese were lovely. Finance enjoyed his Greek omelette as well. Got some desserts and pasta salad to go. Will be back! read more

This place deserves every single star and then some! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed -- warm smiles, quick service, and that rare kind of attentiveness that makes you feel like family. Every detail of the experience was perfect. And then... the carrot cake. Oh. My. Goodness. Hands down the best carrot cake I've ever had in my life -- moist, rich, perfectly spiced, with just the right amount of sweetness and that dreamy cream cheese frosting that melts in your mouth. It's one of those desserts you think about long after the last bite. The food, the service, the atmosphere -- everything was top-notch. You can tell this team truly cares about what they do and the people they serve. If you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond in every way, this is it. I'd give it ten stars if I could. read more

Didn't realize they closed at 2:00. Got there at 2:20 and Gina rushed up to greet and seat me after explaining that they were closed BUT stay as long as you need and enjoy (that's 5 star right there). I love a good Ruben so I ordered one along with a bowl of pasta salad. She wanted me to try her Tomato Basil soup. Even as a kid I wasn't fond of tomato soup, but this one made me a fan. Even as they were cleaning up, Gina made me feel welcome and while I live 20 mins away, I'll definitely be back, BEFORE 2:00. Maybe I'll try the hot pastrami on rye. Can't go wrong at Scotty's Cafe read more

What a little hidden gem this spot is. Found it on the hunt for breakfast closer to the airport and when I saw the reviews I had to try it. When I found it tucked in the middle of a strip mall, I was surprised. The decor inside is so perfect - it makes the down home cafe seem more upscale. The menu was your expected items from omelet to French toast to eggs with bacon and potatoes. I went with a vegetarian omelet and it was packed with veg read more

Ever been to a place that makes you feel immediately at home? Where the delicious aromas from the kitchen make your mouth water? Where a warm smile and sincere handshake are the chicken-soup-for-the-soul you didn't know you needed kind of place? Scotty's is that place. I was lucky enough to meet Scotty and he has this plane running like a top. Service was swift and friendly, drinks were never empty and the Reuben was memorable for being outside of NYC! Feels like a well established local institution with the reviews to authentically support the praise. Highly recommend! read more

**STOP and Read** My family and I just stopped in to have a quick bite to eat before we continued on our travels back home. We saw the reviews and knew we had to try this place. Let me tell you...our experience from the moment we walked in was amazing from the food to the service. The owner himself was there and on the floor working, talking to every table, making sure everyone was having a nice experience. Our little son just turned 3 and before he even knew this he asked if he could have a cupcake. We asked if they had anything gluten free and he went back and a few minutes later came back with the cutest cupcake for him. He then had the entire place sing happy birthday to him. It was truly a family feel and one of the best meals we have had on our entire travels from South Carolina. Thank you for being so amazing and allowing us to enjoy your wonderful establishment. We need more places like this in the world today read more
