Dirty ketchup bottle and trash nobody took away.

Stopped in because Bear's Bagels was out of bagels. Walking in the place looks like any other dive diner (which I love) but outrageous menu prices (with separate sides at crazy prices too -$4.95 for home fries!) should have made me walk out but we stayed. Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was bland and the chicken gyro was absolutely without any flavor. And the place was dirty...floor, menus, ketchup bottle. The only saving grace was the server was friendly, not attentive but friendly. We will not be back nor can we understand the good scores on Yelp. The pic shows the ketchup bottle and trash on table nobody took away.

Olympic Mama Bowl
Lee Ann P.

This little hole in the wall diner was packed Sunday morning and for good reason! I was quickly greeted by a kind hostess who handed me a buzzer to wait for a table. About 15 minutes later we were sat at a booth and quickly again greeted by our waitress. She was incredible, keeping us topped up on coffee and water throughout the whole meal. We all ended up ordering the Olympic mama bowl which was phenomenal! I talked my husband into splitting a pancake with me and it was delicious as well. Everything was warm perfectly seasoned and deliciously fluffy. I can't wait to come back to this little spot

#1 two eggs with one fries and a side of grits
Helen S.

Service here was outstanding. Sarah did a fantastic job. We were greeted quickly, seated and had our beverages in just a few minutes. Sarah offered the option for my potatoes to be a bit crispier...yay! And, as promised, the rye bread was fantastic. I had the #1 with two eggs and bacon, while my husband had the hungry man. I also was able to add a cup of grits..yum! The place is busy, but so friendly. There is the chatter of happy customers. Very welcoming and would come back again if I was in the area

Olympic Corned Beef & Hash
B L.

The food was awesome. The service was friendly and nice. They answered all the questions we had about the menu and even allowed a sub substitution of their breakfast item. The ambience was really relaxed and quiet. You could hear the person sitting across from you with no issues. The corn beef and hash is made from scratch which is a plus in my book. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Great diner with friendly workers!! As soon as I walked in, I felt very welcomed. We checked in with the host for a table and there was a little wait but I love that they give you a buzzer to let you know when the table is ready. The food tasted good but the pancakes were what stood out the most to me. They are big and fluffy and you can taste the vanilla! The only negative was that some of the benches are torn up a bit from wear and tear but overall great place.

My delicious omelette and my beautiful hash browns!

Holy moly what a fantastic breakfast place. And reading the menu, I am sure it is a wonderful lunch place and simply a marvelous place to have dinner. This was our first stop after I had a bit of minor surgery in the Columbus area. I couldn't have asked for a better location to relax, unwind, and enjoy one of the most flavorful meals. I think I've ever had. My wife and I were both able to enjoy the euro omelette with the addition of spinach. Everything had such tremendous flavor, the portions were generous, and it seemed our coffee cup could never run dry before they were there to refill it again with some of the best coffee I've had in a while. We had a moment to speak with one of the owners, and she shared with us both she and her husband were the proud owners of this wonderful restaurant. We wanted to let her know that our experience was fabulous and that we couldn't wait to come back for another trip. Oh, I'm not going to schedule another surgery, I believe we'll just make a special trip to enjoy another fine dining experience at this wonderful establishment. You don't wanna miss this, stop and give them a shot and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.!

Eggs over medium with bacon and rye toast.

We were visiting the area and had no idea where to go for breakfast. Our hotel desk associate suggested Olympic Diner as it is a local favorite. The interior is ...... well, like a diner, just not one of those ones that looks like an old airstream. We didn't expect anything more than that.... As it is a diner. Looked like a scene from Corner Gas really. We ordered our typical breakfast, 2 eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns and rye toast. Nothing special, but everything was very good as though we had cooked it at home.... But no cleanup. Our server was attentive and friendly. You could tell that she's made many friends with the customers. Total for breakfast including tip was $20. Can't beat that. And, I don't care for chain restaurants when I can eat local.

I love homemade corned beef hash with poached eggs and they did not disappoint. The breakfast was delicious. The serving was huge! My husband had a meat filled omelette which he totally enjoyed. The service was on point and the restaurant was quiet and conducive to conversation. I would definitely come back.

Current menu.

I may have eaten here twice this week. It's that good. And the service is great. Smiling, happy servers. And the owner typically checks in and thanks us for our business. I had the #6 breakfast platter with smoked sausage. Their waffles are also very good. And the cod Sandwich is popular with my group. The corned beef hash is different than what you might be used to with large slices of corned beef, bell peppers and onions. Very lean. I'm a fan and will be back.

We popped in here for breakfast after talking about going to this place for years. For some reason it just always skips our mind! So happy we finally stopped in. We love diners and we love breakfast and brunch. I will say, it was SO hot in there lol. It was a weird warmer day seasonally but that was a little but of a struggle. Aside from that. The service and the food were great! I got the corned beef hash. I'm alittle but of a sucker for corned beef hash. I saw a few people with complaints that it wasn't the traditional kind of corned beef hash that they are used to so it wasn't for them. To put it bluntly, if you're looking for a place that serves the corned beef hash that comes in a can and served off the griddle then it's probably not for you. This is legit fresh corned beef sliced up and chunked up and fried up with eggs and potatoes and onions. It's delicious. My husband got the mama bowl and loved it. We will definitely be back to try other things!!!

I stopped into this quaint little bakery on my way into the office the other day for breakfast. The…read morestaff was super friendly and working hard pumping out all those yummy looking bagels and bialys all over the display cases. I opted for the Por que no el Puerco on the cashier-recommended pretzel bun. The flavors and the layers were sensational. A great bite without being too heavy or too greasy. The pretzel bun was also a great choice - some salt but not trying to actively dehydrate you with every bite. The Bear bottled latte was also quite good. It was a very unique flavor profile with obviously lots of banana but it took a little getting used to being mixed with the bitterness of the coffee and some of the nuttiness of the hazelnut and oat milk. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to get it again, but with the limited coffee options here, I wouldn't not get it either. Overall, a really solid place to stop. Not necessarily the best place to go if you're looking for breakfast AND coffee, but certainly a great local joint to check out!

There is a vendor out in the parking lot that offers limited coffee options. The line in Bear Bagels was long. You can tell they are a favorite. I ordered the lox bagel. It was tasty and filling.

YE Gurl Says: Brunch, Babies & Biscuits at Scramblers Hilliard…read more **Date:** September 6, 2025 **Place:** Scramblers Hilliard You know when you've lived somewhere a while and then discover a spot hiding in plain sight? That's Scramblers Hilliard. A friend put me on--and even hosted her baby shower there. Imagine a cross between Denny's and First Watch, with an added bonus: a back space event area you can snag for free (since they don't do reservations). Translation--get there early, chicas. For the meal, I skipped the all-you-can-eat griddle (tempting... maybe next time ). The Surf's Up ($12.99) went to the beau: tender, sustainably sourced shrimp sautéed and folded into hand-cracked scrambled eggs with cream cheese and dill. Served with hollandaise, bread, and your choice of a Scramblers side--it was a crowd-pleaser with a little doctoring up when we got home. I went with the Big Country ($13.79)--a layering of giant flaky biscuits, golden hash browns, two eggs, and sausage gravy. Except, I forgot the sausage gravy part might include, well... sausage. I picked it out, but even then, the dish landed kind of flat. Heavy on portions, light on flavor. I had to break out the ketchup, and honestly, it still needed heat. I get it--the flavor runway is probably tailored to their audience dun dun dun..., but still. What made the morning sparkle wasn't the food but the reason: celebrating love and longevity with Kenya G. and her soon-to-arrive little Elite-in-training. 15+ years together? That's the kind of milestone brunch is made for. YE Gurl says: Scramblers is more about community than culinary innovation, but sometimes that's exactly what you need.

There no big flashy sign anywhere to tell you "Here we are!" So try not to miss this one. We walked…read morein around 10:15am and I was concerned we may be too late to get a good selection bc I've read plenty of reviews saying they sell out daily and to get there early. It's a small shop by a gas station. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and they were ready to take our order before we were ready to give it. I asked about a couple of the varieties in the display counter and those answers helped me make my selections. We ended up with 6 different varieties. A maple cream stick, donut stick, apple fritter, raspberry jelly filled, a buckeye donut (for my hubby) and a chocolate espresso donut (for me). The price was quite reasonable and the people working were very friendly. I also ended up getting a bag of coffee beans after talking with our server and getting her recommendations. She even gave me a sample of one of them they had brewed. We paid for our items and headed out. Several people came while we were there. In fact our friends missed getting to try the espresso donut because someone's that jumped in between us bought the last of them. After trying it when we got to our car I can see why! DELICIOUS!! Would go back for it alone. My husband didn't even wait until we got to the car to try his Buckeye donut and he loved it. Their apple fritter was better than one I bought earlier that morning from a bakery. I didn't think the raspberry jelly filled had nearly enough filling. It easily needed tripled. I say that as someone who worked for three years in a bakery and filled donuts. All in all this was a great stop and if we're in the area again we would definitely drop by to see what's being served.

Never ever disappointed by Lil Donut Factory! Donuts are always delicious and the staff is always…read morebeyond pleasant and helpful. Unassuming location attached to one side of a gas station but easy to get in and out. The Apple fritter is a personal favorite.

Nice little family owned place, so many fun donuts and pastries to choose from!…read more The fresh cracked egg sandwich was delicious, I got it on a croissant and my husband got it on a biscuit and both of them looked and tasted fresh! A little pricey but honestly the location, service, and quality is sooo worth it! The Buckeye Latte was amazing and can't wait to come back and try something else!!

A very disappointing visit as we had heard good things. The selection of donuts was mostly picked…read moreover, we got a dozen. We each tasted a donut hole that was mediocre. The drink cooler was not very cold so drinks were not enjoyable. They told us they were out of French Toast after we ordered and paid. We switched to grilled cheese which they said was more expensive. When we got to our table we realized that the grilled cheese was $5.80 less than the French toast so after a little debate my wife went up to the counter and explained it and the guy offered her some of the last of the donuts, my wife said no thanks and the guy gave her a five dollar bill. The grilled cheese was not good. My breakfast sandwich was warm and not too bad. It had bacon with a maple taste. The biscuit was fresh but not sure it was made on site. The total bill for the sandwiches, no sides, and a dozen donuts was about $50, $45, counting the $5 back. It felt about $20 overpriced for what we got. The cashier was unfriendly and aloof from the beginning. Maybe he was having a bad day. We were the only customers at about 12:30 on a Saturday.
