So Friday 2/9/24 I Went To Drunch & Got The Egg Rolls With This Spicy Yam Sauce & When They Came Out The Egg Rolls Was Okay 6.5 Out Of 10 & A 7 With The Sauce But When I Got To The Middle It Was Cold. I Was So Disappointed, But They Was Nice & Gave Me My Money Back. read more

ROUND TWO with Drunch. The brightly lit, open, football-on-the-tv kind of hipster diner. I really, really, want to like this place. The whole premise is clearly aimed at me - but as I've often found with eateries, they fucking nail the appetizers but their main courses flounder. I blame myself - the first time I came, I got avocado fries and a bennie. The avocado fries were unique and different, and memorable. I only *think* I had the Bennie last time. This time - breakfast egg rolls (brekkin' delicious) and steak and eggs. I ignored that inner voice where my friend said "I come for the ...chicken... and... something" (chicken and waffles? fried chicken bennie?) - I simply was not impressed with the steak and eggs. They committed the cardinal sin of steak - and drowned it in sauce. The bone-in was mixed in with the steak and sauce, making it hard to figure out what was meat and what wasn't. It was just... disappointing for the price. So... service continues to be amazing here. Attentive, friendly, the right amount of chat and "leave me to stuffing my face." The appetizers? Amazing. The entrees? I'll have to come back sooner to do chicken and waffles, because for the price point - the steak and eggs was NOT worth it. But I want to like them, I really do. read more

Really great food! You know it's a good place when there are MANY things you want to try or eat. Mimosa menu is fabulous. Get the Woahnuts and breakfast egg rolls! read more

Service was lovely. We ordered benny and crab cake benny, the eggs were perfectly poached. Coffee and Bloody Mary were also great, we will be back! read more

Stopped into the Drunch Eatery around 12noon on a Sunday, very busy but wait was only 10-15 minutes. Love that there is parking in the back! I had the Drunch Frittata and it was good. The menu isn't huge but definitely some variety. I plan to try their sandwiches next time I go- they looked good going by the table. read more

Busy, service is generally good, definitely on the slower side, but the food is worth it!

This place has such a unique vibe for a breakfast/brunch joint! My boyfriend and I both ordered mimosas, him the original and me the strawberry lemonade. Mine tasted like a Mikes hard but it was still good! We also got the wownuts which were super cute little bite sized donuts with sprinkles and drizzles! I ordered the fried chicken benny and let me tell you, this was a GAME CHANGER. I have never seen fried chicken with an eggs benedict and I was soo excited to try it out. This did not disappoint! It was delicious!! My boyfriend got the gumbo bowl and he loved it also. We were both quiet the entire meal because we couldn't stop eating. Staff were so nice and welcoming also! The only downside is that the price can get steep, especially if you order a speciality mimosa (mine came out be $10). But definitely a treat if you're in the area!! read more

Great brunch spot. The whole wait staff were fantastic. They follow a strict covid protocol which is a good thing. Quesadilla- amazing. Deep fried Avocado sticks- different but not quite my thing. French banana bread taste like french toast . 5 star ratings alone for their attentive staff. Yummy drunch menu definitely adds on. read more

Wow! I've been dying to come here! We finally made it in for Brunch. Jordan was our server and she was wonderful and pleasant. She was able to make recommendations and we took her advice. The Banana Nut French toast was incredible. My daughter enjoyed the Avocado Bene, I had a scrumptious breakfast bowl that could easily be shared. But the WINNER for us today was the Mac n Cheese flatbread... TASTY read more

Everything was amazing from the staff and customer service to the great food! I'll definitely be back!!!

I really enjoyed this place and the atmosphere! The staff were so friendly and we really enjoyed talking with them. The vibe immediately took me back to Saturday morning watching cartoons having breakfast. The food was OUTSTANDING. Hands down the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had, and honestly unlike any I have ever had. I wish I lived in Columbus so I could visit again soon! Definitely give this place a try.. so worth it! read more

Fabulous experience. It was busy, as would be expected on a Sunday mid-day, but we got an accurate estimate of our wait. All four of us loved our dishes - I got the French delight, a French toast sandwich with eggs, sausage and bacon. Tried some unique dishes too like the woahnuts (waffle donuts). Great cocktails (my favorite was the raspberry mimosa, recommendations from friends were that the pineapple mango was also smooth as well as the Drunch mimosa), great music, great vibes. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. And yes, they are following Covid precautions including hand sanitizer, masks, and temperature checks. To me, this is a sign about caring about public health and the health of their employees and customers. And yes, they are including an 18% gratuity automatically, and to me, this ensures their staff are appropriately compensated. If either of those bother you, feel free to go to Waffle House. read more

I stopped in for lunch and tried the egg rolls and chicken wings. They were both very good. The service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. I will be back soon. I didn't get to have a chance to try anything from the bar, but it looked like it would be a good time. read more

Drunch is a good bar with okay food. It's in an up and coming area. The cocktail menu is the best thing. It has a few good food choices. The bar also has lots of room. I had the hummus with pita and cocktail. It's about $7 for the hummus. This comes with pita and salad. It came out pretty fast. The hummus was really fresh tasting. It's a good choice for a light meal. The bad thing is they close early, but there's many other bars right there. If you like a light meal and cocktails go to Drunch. It's a nice addition to the neighborhood. There's lot of parking room too. read more

Went to Drunch today for the second time. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a staff member and seated right away. My friend and I ordered the loaded drunch home fries which were pretty good but kind of salty. I got the breakfast flat bread which is a large portion for one person. I strongly suggest splitting this meal as it is kind of much. Not sure if I would get this again due to it hurting my stomach from so much grease. They have a Bloody Mary bar with unlimited toppings and a great selection of entrees. Might come back might not but the food is very unique so worth a try read more

Meh....I really wanted to love and support Drunch Eatery...for the culture. However while the menu looks bomb and the vibe was top the food was underwhelming. Call me crazy but as a black bean burger lover, I'm 99% sure that their black bean burgers are Costco's Morningstar black bean patties.... The cheesy grits were unfortunately bland and under seasoned and the avocado was not ripe. I think with better high quality ingredients and food made from scratch this restaurant could easily be a 5 star in my eyes. read more

Met a few friends here this past week. The place was moderately busy with a large party seated near us. We were greeted and received water promptly but the good service ended there. Thirty minutes in, a manager came by and asked if it was our first time there and then promoted their new location in Hilliard. I had to mention that we had not even been asked for our food orders yet. In another 5 minutes, the server came to take the orders and we had our food in less than 10. The food was delicious but it was delivered 45 minutes from when we had sat down! In addition the place was loud and the bathroom was messy and needed attention. I'd recommend take out or door dash if you'd like to try the food. Oh and they automatically add 18% gratuity to every check!! read more

I'll be honest, I pegged Drunch as a favorite for the basic brunch crowd. It kind of is. But I'll give the food an A+. My husband and I split the chicken and waffles, which were about twice the size of my head. There was cheese involved, and spicy syrup, so I was a happy camper. Our friends got the crab cake benedict, which looked divine. Their whole menu looked great, which might tempt me to go back if I was local to the area. Our waitress was considerate, but the food took for-EVER. And y'all, the bathrooms. They were shockingly gross. Like worse than a highway gas station. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat somewhere because they have terrible restrooms...but I'm also baffled as to why a restaurant with a decent atmosphere thinks bathrooms that horrendous are okay. read more

My best friend was raving about this spot her & her family visited a few months ago. Ofc I wanted to try it. She went in & gave our info, we w8d in the car until we were called. The hostess was aggressive w the rule reading & COVID protocols prior to seating us (as if we aren't fully aware of the procedures in our State by now) & the server felt like she was rushed & under pressure. Not a friendly face in the entire place. The food came out fairly quickly & it was ok. Nothing to report. A lot of people visited this place while we were there. read more

Cons: The experience at Drunch is just generally unpleasant. -The people who work there are super agressive and just not nice. -The interior has zero style or ambience of any kind, it feels like you're eating in someone's garage. - They automatically add an 18% tip... which is honestly WAY less than I would leave, even in spite of their terrible service. But I feel like the fact that the tip is guaranteed is the reason they feel ok being so awful to customers. -I went into the bathroom and it was so nasty, all I could think was" ... if this is what the bathroom looks like, imagine how bad the kitchen must be?" but my food had arrived when I returned to the table. ... which brings me to the only good thing about Drunch: THE BREAKFAST PRETZEL!! That thing is absolutely delicious. It's so good, I almost don't even care if the kitchen is nasty. I almost don't care that the employees are mean. I almost don't care that they treat you like crap from start to finish and rush you through the place like you're an item on an assembly line. I ate every bite but in the end, the pretzel just isn't good enough to put up with the rest of the bad stuff there. read more

Everything was excellent. I was totally satisfied. The service was great. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I had the Drunch Burger it was very good. And the potatoes was very tasteful. The mimosas are to die for. Drunch is a most go to. read more

Stopped over with a client as we continue our quest for chicken and waffles. Drunch didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was perfect; old video games at the entrance, a nice bar along the wall and ample seating for a Friday lunch. The service was solid for the most part. Very welcoming and friendly. Only issue was a delay in delivery when I asked for more syrup. The chicken and waffles were great. I've seen a variety of methods for preparing chicken and waffles and I have to say, I prefer the boneless chicken approach to the more traditional wings and waffles. The chicken was crisp and the breading was flavorful. The waffle was light and fluffy (as a waffle should be) but nothing out of this world. One of the better sampling's we've had and we'll definitely be back. read more

So... I, yeah. A friend and I decided to got to Drunch on a Thursday morning since it's generally packed on the weekends. It was my first visit and her second, she was giving it a second chance. We both decided we didn't need to go back . I had the chicken & waffles w/ a side of scrambled eggs w/ cheese, water & an apple juice. She had the steak & eggs with a Strawberry & Mango Mimosa. The chicken & waffles were not bad, but they we're good either. Both the chicken & waffle batter is bland, there is suppose to be cheese on the entree, you might see a literal sprinkle of cheese on ONE of the tenders . I asked for the hot sauce on the side, the bill said No tabasco. Our waitress Montana is probably the reason for the three stars review, cause the food is about a 2 star for me. She was very helpful and answered our questions about the menu. The hostess did advise of the 18% gratuity automatically added to all bills and they wanted people to exit out the back door. However, she was not at the door on several occasions and multiple people exited out the front door. i'm not sure where the "hype" came surrounding Drunch, maybe from people who aren't use to seasoned food and have now gentrified the Short North area, but this ain't it. Hopefully the menu and cooking changes, add some zest and even a little powder to the waffles, it would be a great start and they can only go up! read more

Where do I even start! I came here on May 6th with my mom, dad, niece, sister and friend, and every single person raved about the food! The flavors are incredible, and the presentation is top notch. We started off with the avocado fries and mini doughnuts, both were mouth watering and cooked to perfection. For our main dishes, we ordered the crab cake bene, breakfast bowl, shrimp and grits and a regular bene. We all commented on how the poached eggs were cooked to perfection (I'm a stickler and hate overdone poached eggs). The flavors were all on point, with the shrimp and grits being a standout. Our server was on point, knowledgeable and very friendly. The atmosphere is light and inviting. I give Drunch the highest rating and will definitely be back as often as possible. This is the best brunch experience I've had in a long time! read more

This place is amazing! My mom had the cajun breakfast pasta and I had the "drunch burger" Both were outstanding and huge portion sizes! Our server was very attentive and helpful. One of the owners Scott, introduced himself and checked up on us throughout our meal. He also mentioned they're opening a location in Hilliard soon which i'm sure will do great! Will definitely be back:) read more

The service was great a fast, we had a mimosa with our chicken wings (8) that were coated with garlic Parmesan. Very tasty. Being down the street from University of Ohio the place was packed and the atmosphere was loud. read more

The food was ok. Nothing special. Unfortunately, the service was spotty although the waitress was friendly. I'd ordered something off their monthly special menu that took way too long to arrive. My companion had nearly finished her food before mine finally came out despite the host and waitress telling me multiple times "it's coming ". In the meantime, a runner brought us a French toast dish we did not order three different times. When the bill arrived we were charged for the unordered dish; not the dish that I had ordered. When I asked about it I was told the price was the same and I was charged correctly. Maybe I was, but at least the mystery of the French toast dish showing up three times was solved. Food was fine although nothing special. read more

TL;DR Reasonably priced food but didn't feel like it lived up to the hype. They don't take reservations so we showed up on a Saturday around 1 and waited about 15 minutes for a table for 3. There's parking on both sides of the restaurant as well as street parking available. First off, I felt like the music was a bit too loud inside. It was hard to have a conversation without feeling like I was yelling across the table. For my meal, I ordered the chicken frittata. It was a lot of food! I just felt like it was too salty and had way too much cheese. Overall, I didn't feel like the place lived up to the hype but maybe I just didn't get the right thing. read more

Amazing experience, me and my husband visited on a Thursday around 12. I ordered the crab cake Benedict in creole hollandaise and my husband ordered the shrimp and grits both were amazing. Full of flavor and cooked well. The atmosphere was chill r&b music playing and cartoons on the tvs so there's a little something for everyone. We both ordered drinks mimosas to be exact I added a shot in mine, my husband also orders the punch and we were pleased. Definitely give them try we will be back. read more

Here to support as a first time diner. Food was good, service was ok. It's like an inexperienced wait staff. I ate the shrimp and grits. My all time favorite, and this one did not disappoint. It's full of flavor and on the savory side. I ordered 2 poached eggs with it to make it more breakfast. Come try, but be in a relaxed and open mood for lack luster service. read more

Drunch. Is. Delicious. First of all, they have the strictest Covid measures in place of any restaurant I've been to in the last ten months. They temperature check, make you hold your palms up so they can squirt sanitizer on them, watch you sanitize, give a lengthy speech on entering and exiting in different places, tell you not to hang out after your meal, so they can maximize the amount of customers they can have, and also they gently remind you to wear your mask at your table if you aren't actively eating or drinking. (First time that's happened to me in a restaurant). But I understood, and thankfully, the food was worth the lecture. On to the food. It's pricey. 18% gratuity is automatically added to every order, and for two meals, one coffee, one juice, gratuity, and a lecture at the hostess stand, breakfast set us back $50. I had a bagel with sausage, egg, bacon, and it was scrumptious. My husband had some sort of chicken, egg, hollandaise meal and he loved it. My orange juice was in a plastic bottle, like you would get out of a vending machine, instead of in a glass, and I'm not sure why, but that bugged me. Nice meal, and vending machine orange juice? Nice place, serve it in a glass, don't cheapen the meal by throwing a plastic bottle on my table. Other than that, great breakfast. Will definitely eat here again. read more

great location. Food was awesome and server was top notch. Very clean and great atmosphere.

Very cute atmosphere. Very busy. They said they take reservations for large parties but we called multiple times and they never answered the phone so we ended waiting about 45 minutes. As the host walked us to the table she said the kitchen was backed up and it would take around 45 minutes for our food to come out. From the look of it they seemed understaffed. Luckily our food came out relatively fast for what we were expecting. I got the breakfast bowl! I really enjoyed this! Wasn't as much food as I was expecting so I finished it all... lol. Our server was not very attentive. We had to track him down multiple times for forgotten items, drinks, and checks. Drinks: all tasted like juice. No alcohol content. When we told our server this he sent over the bartender and she told us they do not free pour and that everything was measured out so if we wanted more alcohol in the drink we would need to buy a shot. Overall I would probably return but I would for sure make sure to be there when they opened to avoid the long wait and hopefully they are better staffed next time. read more

Pleasant Surprise! We were downtown for a morning meeting and decided to find a place for a late breakfast. The menu at Drunch sounded intriguing. Started with finding really nice off street parking behind the restaurant. Walked in and were seated quickly. Appreciated being told upfront that 18% gratuity automatically added to tab. She took our temp before allowing in and let us know when we left to head out the back. The cocktail menu is pretty awesome. And then there was the daily special menu. Talk about hard choices!'. I ordered the Mystery Mimosa and my husband ordered the Drunch Martini. My drink was a little on the sweet side, but nicely made. My husband's Martine was nice. Very gin forward in the beginning. The marmalade at the bottom of the glass was a nice sweet ending after finishing our food -- just the perfect something sweet that seems to hit the spot after eating. There are so many choices on the food menu that were tempting. Thought I was heading toward the Chicken Frittata, but the Veggie Benny caught my attention. So glad it did. Loved it. Felt decadent and healthy at the same time. Appreciated the side of Drunch Potatoes that came with it. Potatoes were a little salty for me, but texture and flavors were great. My husband ordered from the Specials. Cajun Gumbo bowl. He loved it. Flavors were well balanced. Said some heat from the andoiulle but also some sweet notes. Said he could definitely see getting this in NOL on a breakfast menu. So glad we tried Drunch! We would definitely come back. The service was prompt. Attentive but not overly talkative and didn't push anything extra. Atmosphere a little flat, but at 10:30 in the morning, I'm not exactly bouncing off the walls, so not a deal breaker for sure. read more

4.5 stars Came for a weekday breakfast with friends. The service was great. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The portions were very generous. Next time I would bring some tupperware to box half of it up for tomorrow's lunch! (Of course, they're happy to give you a box for leftovers, but I'm nerdy about bringing my own tupperware for big meals when I remember. It travels better, keeps better, saves waste, and you don't have to wait for your server to bring it.) read more

Few things: 1) Woahnuts are not that great- the fruit sauce gave it a bad aftertaste and the texture was subpar to that of a donut or a waffle 2) kinda overpriced- 3.50 for coffee? 3) avocado fries and the sauce were great 4) pancakes were meh... too crumbly. Also the plates, like the physical size of the plate, were too small. read more
