Pancake balls!!
Bethany B.

With so many rave reviews, we were really excited to try Katalina's. Maybe we came in an off day but it was just a-okay! The vibe is great and the staff are all very cool. We ordered a cold brew, which was very good and potent, which I like. The much hyped pancake balls are in fact quite tasty. Dense, chewy, and sweet. A serving of 6 is a heavy way to start the day -- better to share with friends! The breakfast tacos were just fine. The eggs were overbeaten and a tad bland. The side of potatoes was cold and soggy, they didn't get eaten. We had a nice time but it wasn't a rave.

Katalina's is SO good! The pancake balls are so fluffy and filled perfectly with your filling of choice (all of them are great); all of their different breakfast sandwiches are huge and taste unbelievable! Their sweet n spicy bacon is a must and the purple potato hash is a great side for your breakfast. The vibes here are awesome and it's a great place to kick off your weekend or enjoy a nice chill brunch with some amazing food! Katalina's is definitely a go to place, and is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch stops in Columbus

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Brought my sister and her husband and son for her birthday. Does not look like much from the outside but once you step inside it's very cool. There are markers at each table so you can color, draw, or write. Food was very good, everything felt like it had a little spice or kick to it. We shared the pork and egg sandwich and thank goodness cause it was huge. No way I could have eaten all that alone. We look forward to coming back Oh oh oh got a side of the sweet and spicy bacon and it was the best bacon I have ever had. It was DELICIOUS!!!!

Mexican French Toast
Joshua S.

Staff was friendly and the service was great. Good nice neighborhood it's located in. I decided to try their Mexican French toast and it was really good. Definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area

Famous for their stuffed pancake balls -- and they did not disappoint. Ooey-gooey apple pumpkin butter inside with a soft, chewy exterior = absolutely delicious (and super filling). Ordered 6, but I could only finish 3. The special spicy-sweet bacon? Not super special, but it paired well with the pancake balls. Tried their spicy soup -- definitely spicy, but didn't quite hit the spot. Also had the fresh-squeezed blood orange juice + watermelon lemonade. You could tell it was fresh, but the flavors weren't as sweet or refreshing (maybe just not in season). Overall: come for the pancake balls, skip the rest.

Order first, then sit! This is your PSA- this is the system so folks can have a seat,eat, leave- making room for those ordering and waiting to eat. ( and management will aid you if someone sat then ordered!) Fun vibe, 80s ish music playing, friendly staff. Delicious food! It's a lot more that you think! You can get iced coffee, etc. Would go again!!

Cute little cafe with characters. Pancake balls are very cute and good but not wow. Presentations are simple and fair. Cozy happy place. Nice warm service. Lovely lunch place. Charming but not a place to relax. Feels like to grab food and go.

Pancake balls

The food was delicious! However, it took so long for a us (2 entrees and 1 appetizer) to get our food. We had to wait almost an hour for our order. It's nice they have indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is nice and I like how you go to the counter to order before attempting to find a seat. I think the pancake balls could have had more filling. We got the Nutella ones and they were good, but I think having more filling would be better.

Dulce de Leche
Catherine M.

We went with a group to have breakfast but there wasn't enough indoor seating so that's why I'm giving it a four. It was cold outside otherwise we would have used the outside tables. The servers were very friendly and they really tried to fit all of us on the bar tables inside. The place was really cute. We ended up getting the pancake ball, dulce de leche to go and they were amazing. The pancake batter was the best. Tomorrow there will only be 2 of us so we are going to go try it again. If you do not have a big group or if the weather is nice I would definitely recommend it.

Breakfast tacos and potatoes
Jennifer H.

Excellent food and service above expectations. The pancake balls live up to the hype, the sweet and spicy bacon was crispy and well balanced. Breakfast tacos were good and the potatoes were some of the best we've had, crisp and well seasoned. Free parking was nice too. We'll be back

Pancake balls missing filling
Nick M.

Really disappointing experience here. I'm a Columbus resident and have come here in the past and had great experiences. Stopped in this weekend with some out of town friends. Food was okay but took well over an hour to come out. My one friend cancelled his order an hour and a half after he ordered and asked for a refund (which they did give him). I know it's the weekend and they are jammed but over and hour for our food seems excessive. Patio and decent-sized parking lot are very nice and important to mention for those not familiar with this place. As far as the food went, I had the Katalinas Migas which was okay. The eggs were not really seasoned and tasted bland. The avacado toast was delicious, however. What was really disappointing is that the pancake balls my girlfriend ordered had almost zero Nutella in them (see pics). For the price point, I probably would not order either again in the future. Overall poor experience here, and I don't think I will be back.

Avocado toast and soup
Aubrie H.

Weve heard amazing things about the food here and it did not disappoint. We visited on a weekday around 2pm and service was quick. We tried the Katalinas Latina sandwich which was so good. Loved how all the flavors worked together. We also tried the avocado toast with the holy tomole soup which was a perfect combination. All the great reviews are correct, this place is delicious.

Pancake balls stuffed with pumpkin-apple butter
Christina M.

Katalina's has an incredible menu that makes it almost impossible to decide what to order, but there is one thing you absolutely have to have: the pancake balls. These were what we came for and they did NOT disappoint. They came out in an order of six with the most incredible sweet and spicy bacon on the side- we honestly wished we had ordered extra of this because it was so delicious. The pancake balls themselves were hot and fresh and just delicious- the pumpkin apple butter was the perfect filling, and it's nice that they sell it by the jar inside, too. The breakfast chickwich was massive- we were not expecting it to be so huge! It's hard to make a chicken sandwich stand out, but the coating on this one was really unusual and tasty. It was served with a side of purple potatoes that were just okay, they could have used more flavor. The sandwich bread was surprisingly delicious, too- it was super fresh. The breakfast tacos were the only thing that we found really disappointing. They're the first thing on the menu and listed as "award-winning" so maybe our standards were just high, but they were completely ordinary breakfast tacos that had very little flavor- kind of a bummer when there are so many other exciting-sounding things on the menu. The street corn it was served with was very good, though. Something to note- there are only a few tables inside and outside, and they are first come first served. You order your food at the counter and then go sit at a table. They will not let you hold a table with items while you're ordering, and I saw them move several people's belongings that they had put down to save a table. I fully support this policy but can see it being frustrating to some.

How does curbside pick up work? Do you call in the order or go online & how long of a wait till the order is ready, please?

Hi Cecelia! We recommend ordering online (you could also call in or use our walk-up window). The online system will tell you what time for pick-up. When you arrive (parking available behind Katalina's off the alley behind Donatos in Clintonville or… 

Are you open regular hours today?

Yes, we close at 3pm. Thanks!

How busy is it on gameday?

Jordan, It gets busy but not much busier than an average weekend. All weekends are busy but the line goes fast. Thanks!

Can I order a plate of bacon by itself?

Absolutely! I don't know what they would charge you, but they are so friendly and accommodating there. Just ask. They'll take care of you.

This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.

By the time we walked to the host stand--literally within seconds--we were told we had already lost our spot. They put us back on the waitlist and told us it would be about 20 minutes. After waiting around 25 minutes, we received another text saying our table was ready. Once again, we went straight to the host stand, only to be told there wasn't actually a table available. We asked if we could at least sit at the bar, but since we were a party of four, that wasn't an option. Instead, they added us to the waitlist for a third time and told us to wait another 20 minutes. The most disappointing part was watching more than 10 couples get seated while we continued to be overlooked. It felt like the waitlist system was completely disorganized, and the staff offered no real explanation or solution. After wasting nearly an hour, we decided to leave and have brunch somewhere else. Fortunately, the other restaurant was excellent. Unfortunately, this place turned what should have been a relaxing brunch into a frustrating and disappointing experience.
