    The dining area.

    Fitzy's is a fantastic, no-frills, old-school diner absolutely bursting with retro pop culture charm. The breakfast portions are huge, the food is delicious, and the vibe is pure classic comfort. A must-visit in Columbus!

    Marzetti with Garlic toast

    Today is the day I meet with friends. Today we had breakfast, they also made homemade apple pie with chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Was so delicious. Service was excellent and the ambiance is so casual.

    This is still one of my favorite diner spots in Columbus, I come here at least once a week and I have never been disappointed. The food is amazing and made to order, the staff is always so nice, and the place is pretty clean. If you have not stopped here you need to come by for breakfast of lunch!

    Over the years we have gone here. They have always had good food and great service. This time I had the corned beef hash and eggs.

    Reuben sandwich & fresh fruit
    Myra W.

    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.

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

I think having a call reservation system could help, but they probably could also have some outdoor seating when the weather is nice. They're very friendly here, and the food is very good........so it's completely understandable why they're so loved. Just maybe they could use some extra capacity accommodations as I suggested.

I ordered a grilled chilled cheese to be safe because I suspected the quality of other items would be questionable. Unfortunately, the grilled cheese is made with one single slice of Kraft American Singles. Not even real cheese and it wasn't fully melted. The fries are frozen crinkle cut fries, also somehow cold. The bacon was gross, tastes dry and just low quality, like microwave kind? I tried my son's kid waffle which was surprisingly decent. Hash-browns were okay just unseasoned. Overall would not recommend if you're looking for quality ingredients but if you're looking for a greasy spoon you're in business. The staff was nice, probably the only positive for me.

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.
