Kids meal

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

Coffee at the counter

Traveling and we found this cute little diner! It's tucked back in a strip mall but don't let that stop you! They have tables and an eat in counter. Food was fast and perfect! Great little local spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch!

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

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.

I love Fitzy's Diner. The food and staff are amazing. I love the diner feel. Meet with friends and…read moreenjoy socializing. Thanks Bob

Disappointing experience with the owner…read more My family has been coming here for years, and we continued supporting the restaurant even after the change in ownership. I've always enjoyed the atmosphere, the food overall, and especially the wonderful wait staff. Unfortunately, my experience today has made me reconsider returning. I ordered a medium-well steak, but it came out overcooked and extremely tough. I understand this isn't a steakhouse, as the owner, Scott, had the waitress relay to me. However, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a meal to be prepared properly, even at a casual dining establishment. The waitress was lovely, and my issue was not with her. I asked to speak with Scott about my steak, hoping to explain the problem and discuss a resolution. Instead, before I could fully explain my concern, he told me I didn't know the difference between steak temperatures and that I should have ordered it rare or medium. The steak was brown throughout, with no visible pink in the center, and the meat was extremely tough (the texture was fibrous). Again, I ordered medium-well, but the result was closer in appearance to well-done. Scott, the owner then mentioned his culinary arts education and 25 years of experience in the food industry. When I explained that I had also studied culinary arts, although it was years ago, he responded by saying, "bullsh*t.". Those years of experience hurt his case because he should have known better. Customer service skills seemed to be lacking. Honestly, that was the most disappointing part of the entire experience. I wasn't trying to be difficult, get a free meal, or argue about food. I simply wanted to address an issue with what I had ordered. Mistakes happen in restaurants, and I understand that food waste and costs are real concerns for small business owners. What I didn't expect was to be spoken to so disrespectfully when trying to have a conversation about my meal. Scott eventually refunded me, which I appreciated, but the refund didn't change how the interaction made me feel. My uncle, who is also a regular, wanted to speak up about how I had been treated, but I felt there was little point by then. It's unfortunate because I genuinely liked this place and would have continued coming back. The atmosphere is great, and the wait staff has been a big part of why my family has continued to support the business over the years. One bad meal wouldn't necessarily have stopped me from returning, but the way this situation was handled has. It's not always about what you say, but how you say it. A little patience and respectful communication could have turned a disappointing meal into a minor inconvenience. Instead, I left feeling uncomfortable about returning to a place I once enjoyed. I hope other customers have better experiences, and I genuinely wish the staff well. Unfortunately, based on my interaction with the owner, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
