Kids meal
Steven H.

I always love coming here for the good food and service. The food is always fresh and flavorful. I love the little mom and pop diners not to many of them around so I do enjoy coming here. This place can get packed on the weekend so be prepared to have a little wait as the seating is minimal.

Fantastic diner! Super friendly staff, delicious food, and that classic diner feel. We sat at the counter and watched everyone work so well together to crank that delicious food out. We loved it here and are looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Columbus!

My husband and I came here for a quick breakfast. We got sat immediately and the food came out super fast. The waiter was really kind and very helpful. He filled coffee and water as soon as there was a dent made. I had the biscuits and gravy big breakfast dish with hash browns and he had the fried bologna sandwich. The biscuits and gravy were good, not anything out of this world but the good comfort breakfast I was looking for. The fried bolonga sandwich was yummy as well. The bologna seemed good quality and a really thick piece. Overall a good experience and would gladly come back

It was everything that I had heard about for years! Fresh, remicient of Grandma's house. Try it, you won't regret it.

Roy Lee's Breakfast Casserole

I love eating breakfast at Delaney's. Simple but effective menu choices with something for everyone. It's near the Alum Creek trail which makes it great for a post run meal. This morning I tried out the breakfast casserole. Another good option but my favorites are the Indy 500 and the breakfast sandwich. The staff are very friendly and seated us quickly this morning. The waitress stopped but plenty of times to make sure we had full coffee cups and quickly brought out our food. The place gets fairly loud, like many other diners but you can always still have a conversation. I will gladly return again.

Overly greasy hash browns.

Adding to my previous reviews... This coffee house continues to be one of the best in the area…read more It was a rainy day today. I still decided to utilize their walk up window simply because I had a car full of dogs and I didn't want them to miss me. The window is pretty easy. It does have an awning, but it doesn't really work very well when it's raining cause it's a little narrow and width. However, the barista prioritized me standing in the rain and quickly took my order I told her I was gonna go back and wait in the car because I had a car full of dogs. When my coffee was ready, she noticed that I was getting attention to my dogs and she decided to hand-deliver my coffee to my car. It's a little things like that that make a difference to somebody's day. Whoever does a hiring at this location has a talent for picking the best people. I am quite a fan of the people (and coffee ) here

Unfortunately, I was massively let down by this place. Not so bad that I'm not willing to try them…read moreagain, but overall I was underwhelmed. The ratings in this place are solid five star so it's confusing why but perhaps I had a bad experience with the food and that's not reflective of the whole place of course. First off, the service was good. The girl was friendly and told me I should come back to try that strawberry drink that was on the sign. Second, I can't judge a drink since I didn't have one so late in the evening, but I did get a piece of coffee cake and it was one of the worst things I have eaten in a long time. It tasted like paste in my mouth... Purely flour , butter and sugar. There was not a texture from a crumble at all. And the cinnamon was a complete afterthought. When I say that it tasted mostly like flour, I am not exaggerating. Lastly, the place definitely is cute inside and it seems to be connected to the Goat by hallway.

Within 20 minutes we received our text and were seated. The ambiance was fun and relaxing to the seating to the music, all a good vibe. Our waiter, Preston, was amazing. From start to finish he brought the energy and recommended a few things! White Sangria was amazing. Make sure to get the biscuits and you'll need more because they are . We shared the street corn nachos and you'll have to try the freshest jalapeños on them, by far the best nachos ever! I kept with the theme and did the Al pastor tacos but with grilled chicken plus queso and chips on the side! Stuffed and amazed at how quick yet fresh and delicious everything was. Every single person kept saying how great their meal was. Danielle, the manager even stopped by to make sure everyone was taken care of! After an amazing meal like that we had to try the desserts, the butter cake and banana were both great but definitely think if you only get one, the butter cake is where it's at. I will absolutely make sure to plan a visit here on my next trip.

As always, asked for recommendations from our server. Shout out to Jett because everything he recommended I loved! Favorite part of the meal was the short rib and carrot hummus and the cheddar scallion biscuits. I liked it so much I actually thought of ordering some to go. Menu has so many options to choose from, it caters to many types of palettes. My bevy, the Blackberry Cooler, was refreshing. My friend got the non alcoholic version and said it was too tart. Only disappointment of the night was they ran out of the brown butter cake. The banana caramel cake was still a good substitution. Plenty of parking but do recommend to make a reservation to avoid long wait times. Cant wait to come back and enjoy a happy hour.

The atmosphere is unique, charming, relaxing, and welcoming. Katherine, the executive manager takes great care of you as a guest. She sets the pace, working with her staff to insure a great experience. She is visable and mingling with her guests. Then there is Nick, our server today, that greats you very kindly and welcomes you with a warm smile. He answers all your questions and made a couple of recommendations as this was our first time here. His recommendations were well recieved and turned out to be what we expected, they were great. I got the meatloaf, sounds like big deal. But let me tell you, this is a great tasting dish. Well balanced flavor and seasoning. My wife had the chicken & Amish noodles over mashed potatoes and it was delicious as well. Then Nick suggested dessert, recommended the Chefs Christie's Famous Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie | A La Mode. This is unlike any cinnamon roll you have ever had. It was delicious. We split that and I think my wife got more of it than I did. Oh well. Like I said this wasn't just eating out at a nice restaurant, this was a great dining experience to tell your friends about.

So my friend and I took our daughters (10 & 11) to tea time at Asterisk Supper Club and honestly it…read morewas such a fun experience. First off the vibe in there is really cool. Books everywhere, the menus are literally books, there's this big community table in the middle plus booths if you want your own space. Just one of those places that feels different the second you walk in.We both did the afternoon tea, sandwiches and desserts were good no complaints there. But the real shocker... the girls actually tried the tea and liked it I fully expected faces and complaints but nope. We did order a grilled cheese and a burger just to be safe and both were solid. Also tried an espresso martini for the first time and yeah I get the hype now, it was really good.And our server was so sweet, super patient, explained the teas, made suggestions without being pushy. You can tell she actually cared about the experience. Overall just a really cute, different kind of outing, especially if you're trying to do something a little more memorable with kids.

They have a mix of dessert waffles, smoothies, coffee, loose leaf tea and ice cream. The sweet options were pretty good but the waffles were rather soft by the time we were able to eat them but that's grab and go for you. The food was packed in a to go box which travels well and avoids spills. It's made out of a lightweight cardboard which appears to be well designed and recyclable which is a plus. A nice change from the typical plastic and styrofoam. It might be nice to put the syrups in a small container for travel but that's also the potential for plastic trash too. The staff was very helpful and walked us through the options. She also answered questions about the tea walk when I started reading through the choices. I ended up going with the mate mixed with cinnamon and orange. Very delicate and smooth flavor. The loose leaf is something that will interest me in the future. They had ice cream options including the bubble waffle cones. I will be back to try out the ice cream. The menu did not have any savory options which seems to be a missed opportunity. It could be an option to make a savory waffle sandwich with bacon or sausage. They could turn the waffle nachos into something savory with scrambled eggs and salsa.

I was the only one in Waffle Way Cafe, and could see why when I looked at their menu. Their…read morepancakes and waffles were $15-$20! What?! I wanted to try and support a business but this was way too expensive. You get 21 pancake balls for $20. I was alone and there was no way I could or should eat that many pancake balls. You can make 4 pancakes at home for about $2-$4. Oh, and one of the waffle makers was down and could not make one of the menu items when I went in. They also had some self serve loose teas, and ice cream. I didn't see how much the ice cream was but it looked like normal flavors you can get anywhere. There is seating inside. The staff was really friendly. It is in a good location in Westerville with parking in front or the back. I would consider this more of a high end splurge for a breakfast food, and would need to have a couple of people to help share.
