Today was my first time here and a suggestion from my breakfast friend. I arrived at 8:20 and was told to sit anywhere. Within a minute, Carrie brought menus & offered coffee. Coffee in a big pretty mug. My friend & I both had the veggie omelette (mine without goat cheese). Toast, chicken sausage, and fried potatoes rounded out the meal. Huge amount of food and seriously the best I've had in a while. Will definitely come back. Carrie was awesome. She said the owner insists on using fresh ingredients. read more

Mixed feelings. For sure a recommendation: but just beware of some things OVERALL: perfect breakfast food, with a slightly "soup nazi" vibe, which is ok for a diner, if you're ok with that THE GOOD: -the breakfast items have all been amazing. truly some of the best things Ive ever had. Biscuits and gravy are perfect. They seem homemade and are worth their price. -Servers are friendly, at least when interacting with customers (but see below) THE BAD -the servers are a little rough talking to each other - meaning, you hear them complaining and cursing abt customers when they hang around the fountain drink station. Makes for an awkward vibe as u pretend u dont hear it. -They cant really handle a fully booked restaurant, but thats not necessarily the servers' fault as it seems they need more cooks, but prepare to wait for more than 1hr when the place is full. Servers try their best -The lunch items can be very plain compared to the breakfast items. One example: the polish boy tasted just like a store bought kielbasa, which is fine, but not for these prices. So beware to order things like might sound "plain" because they likely will taste like it -prices are a little high for the place and speed of service. If they added one more cook the speed would make up for that. Prices arent terrible, but feel a bit much given the above read more

Great home cooked to order meal. If you have never been there it is a must. Omelets are large and the burgers seasoned perfectly.

It's a diner. That's the ambiance you should expect going there and we love it!! Great food and staff. Love the breakfast selection, and you won't leave hungry! read more

Visited 1/10/26 from SC Will never return. Server was rude, disrespectful, and entitled (or so she thought) We waited 35 minutes( I sent an email to corporate from table ) Service was so bad, we (party of 5) gave tip to busser(her 1st day)​ who actually came to table to take our drink order. Good lookin' out baby girl! We see U! Folks say black people don't tip... We tipped for excellent service not a bad attitude. DO BETTER read more

this was top 5 best diners I've been to, and I've visited diners in ALL 50 states! Seat yourself, waitress was everything you could ask for in food service, and ALL of the food was cooked perfectl!

I must have driven by a hundred times on my way to and from work and just didn't realize it was a diner. I love diners but haven't been able to find a real one. Until now. Diners are my favorite place to eat because they are owner run and generally making everything from scratch. And made to order. Fitzy's didn't disappoint. My first try was the Reuben. The sandwich was spot on and the portion was tremendous. I also liked the fries as they were crispy without being overly so. I like a good Reuben and now have a place down the street I can get one. My second was having breakfast. Fitzy's doesn't open until 8 am and I am usually at work by then, but I went during lunch. I ordered the pancakes with sausage and 2 eggs over easy. I like over-easy eggs on my pancakes and usually peanut butter in between. They haz no peanut butter at Fitzy's so I had to go without. They did have sugar-free syrup though, so it kinda makes up for it. I can't recommend the place enough. The food is good, and the people are friendly. read more

To start off I want to emphasize that I live in Cincinnati so it's already a 1 hr 45 min drive out to Fitzy's in Columbus. I called twice to verify hours because online and google it says that they are open. once I got out here though I quickly learned that they were closed due to water problems. I understand that life happens but you still have to find ways to let your customers know that hey we aren't open today. read more

You will not leave hungry. Very generous portions. Food tastes as good as it looks. Service very good. Friendly environment.

Fitzy's Diner is not a fancy place. Probably no Cappuccino or Latte's here, but just good food. My wife and I enjoy eating at places like this and they are all over America, but never in a high rent area. Our waitress, from Oregon, was wonderful. Having family in Worthington, we will be back! read more

Finally on this side of town. Have wanted to try for years I just never got over here to do it. Only open from 8 to 3 so it's breakfast and lunch selections. It was a hard choice between breakfast, but I went down between the Reuben sandwich and the chili with cornbread. I was afraid that that the chili would be too soupy and I prefer thick and chunky so I went with the Reuben and instead of fries fresh fruit. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy, home fries, and eggs.Reuben was delish - not greasy or messy. Could only eat half. My husband loved his meal. Next time will definitely order the chili - it looked thick and chunky. The floor bothered us - looked dirty but could have just been seasoned. The best is that they have a menu with smaller portions and - you don't have to be a kid to order from it. read more

The food is a1, service was great as well and the prices are very reasonable great atmosphere and service..

After 10 years of driving by and rolling my eyes in irritation, I decided to stop in and give Fitzy's another try. Thank goodness for second chances. I've actually been here at least three times in the last 6 months. Each visit my server was attentive and the food was equally as good. It truly is a 50s style diner with classic American dishes. Portions and prices are good. I especially enjoyed the scratch made biscuits and being able to watch the cooks do their magic. The cooks (all female) handle a morning rush with no problem! Their synchronized movements on the grill/flattop with minimal conversation is a sight to see! All my visits resulted in a very short wait time after placing my order. Fitzy's has now become one of my favorite diners and I wish I'd have given them a second chance to redeem themselves long ago. read more

A little hidden treasure in the Columbus area. Well worth looking it up. We had breakfast there. My son got the Chicken fried steak, which was GINORMOUS and he said it was yummy too. I got a pancake, one was plenty! THey are as big as a normal size dinner plate! and tasty! I would go there again if i am down Columbus way again in a heartbeat. I would love to try the rest of their menu. Great service too. read more

So small menu so they can focus on quality. Nice kids menu. Lunch and dinner menus looked appealing. Service was great. Ambiance is traditional diner. read more

Solid diner with great food, especially their large, tasty sausage. A tad more expensive than I expected, until we went to Original Pancake House the next day, which was almost $10 more for 2 people, without the coffee that I got at Fitzy's. I also thought everything tasted better including the pancakes. Try it, you'll like it. read more

Love this place! Happened to discover it with my partner by chance, but it's a regular stop for us now, even a bit out of the way for us. It's always a calm and friendly atmosphere, with retro decor and mostly older clientele. The seats are a bit worn, but to us, in a cozy way. They have delicious and generous portions of breakfast and easy "American" food for fair prices. Our favorites are the biscuits and gravy (it comes with green onion) and the side salad, which is always very fresh with homemade ranch. read more

We came in on a humble and the food is fantastic. Wife had the biscuits and gravy and it was delicious. I had the French Toast and it was also very good and the syrup came to the table warm and that was clutch. It's a neat little place and the decor is cool. When in the area I'll definitely look to stop in for a meal. Our server Kristina was great. read more

Ordered here for the yelp brunch invited. I asked if they had any brunch specials on the menu and they said well we can make you one. I said great. Make whatever you want so they prepared chicken and pancakes. Loved it. So I took it home added some fruit and paired it with peanut butter whiskey and a coffee infused cigar. Great time. I like that they just took care of me and just made something off the menu. Only cost me $7. read more

This is a classic hometown diner. With worn tables and chairs, the place has a lot of charm. The service was excellent and the food was good. I had the loaded omelet. While it wasn't the most beautiful presentation, it was delicious. The home fries were good too. And the coffee was good enough. The only thing that wasn't great was the biscuits. They tasted a bit old. At $15 for the omelet, home fries, two biscuits, coffee and a Diet Coke, the price is pretty fair. I would definitely eat here again. read more

It's been awhile since I've visited this diner. Its hard to find diners like this anymore from the time you walk in you get that feeling of a true little diner. The food is always good and never disappoints. Service is always friendly and courteous the decor gives it that old school diner feeling which is a plus in my book. They also have call ahead orders if you dont have the time to eat in. I like that they have call in orders, because sometimes I dont always have the time to eat inside. If you looking for a good place to eat must give them a try and by the way breakfast and lunch are both good. read more

Fitzy's Old Fashioned Diner - We love Fitzy's! - American Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Fitzy's Old Fashioned Diner. Hmmmmmm. Good vibes and good food... I finally checked it out this week, based on the photos and the reviews and I'm in agreement with that and what others have told me. It's the old-fashioned feel... The first thing I noticed upon entry was the yesteryear feel in terms of dining seating, decor and the kitchen. I love the pictures on the wall of the many celebrities of different eras. I think a few move movie posters would add a great touch to it. The seats were all low the ground, which I think is very important because the older and "larger" customers often have difficulty with their legs dangling from high stools (particularly those with blood flow issues - not many restaurants consider that). I love the low seats around the grilling station because it puts you at eye-level with what's going on. I like to watch people prepare my food. I had the basic 1/2 lb cheeseburger and fry combo with everything. The topping were awesome (onions, tomatoes, lettuce - all fresh and crisp) and the meat was delicious. Not overbearing with seasoning, but still juicy and tasty. The fries matched the burger in termperature timeliness, so that made them great with ketchup. I love when ketchup acts as a subtle cooling agent while the heat for the fries maintains the heat necessary for good taste. Joey, my server, was a great part of my visit. He greating me promptly, offering wonderful service, reviewed the menu and made me feel good and appreciated. He made sure that the meal was out in a timely manner and checked on my frequently to ensure that my needs were met. I promised I'd be back because they serve breakfast around the clock and by the looks of the menu, those items beg to be sampled. Check them out! read more
