    Feeling under the weather, but still had to go pick up the kid. I figured a restorative was in order. And when I saw they had not just sausage gravy, but turkey sausage gravy, and it wasn't far from my route, I was off. Parking is a little weird. You can park in the CVS lot, and apparently the Jiffy Lube lot next-door, but I wasn't sure about that and while it is the closest one, I chose CVS for safety. You can't go in the back door of the restaurant, although you can come out of it at the end. It is larger inside than I expected, and nicer, though not fancy. Order with a code or at the counter. Super friendly, patient, efficient service. Minimal, because you order at the counter and they bring it out, but still really good. They have coffee, and have other drinks, like Boylan's pop. I got a macchiato, which was in a small, old school coffee cup, not the giant type you get nowadays. But that's plenty; I'm trying to cut back on caffeine. I got the turkey sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast. I don't think I've ever had it with turkey. I've used ground turkey in chili and spaghetti sauce and what not, but never seen this. And I figured that was also an indicator that it was house made. It came out fast, and it was amazing. Big hearty biscuits, a lot of gravy with big chunks of meat, lightly seasoned. And there's hot sauce on the table, which is always a good sign. I chose a fruit cup instead of potatoes because, you know, man does not live on sausage gravy and biscuits alone. It was ripe fruit. Not under ripe like you get too often; it was perfectly ripe. And the eggs were cooked to my spec. I had thought about getting a side. I mean, Mexican corn, Brussel sprouts, more that sounds good. But this was plenty, and I was fairly hungry. I'll be back for the other stuff. Very reasonably priced for very good food. Fast, at an off time. I will definitely be back.

    This is a cute little cafe across from Nationwide Children's Hospital. I've gone about 3 times only for lunch as I now work right around the corner. The decor is bright, filled with a lot of plants, and it's clean with ample seating. The service is always great in my opinion with friendly young ladies working the register, and they bus your table afterwards if you dine-in. They offer a variety of healthy food options, salads, wraps, etc. My only gripe is that the food just isn't very flavorful. The first meal I tried there was the crispy chicken wrap. It had one thick very tough piece of chicken that wasn't seasoned much. Yesterday I tried the turkey avocado salad and it also didn't blow me away. Even the bacon they use doesn't have much taste! Didn't think that was even possible! All in all, I'd recommend them if you just happen to be in the area wanting a healthier option.

    I have been wanting to try this place. We brought the family in today. We got a chicken Fajita omlette, French toast and kids turkey sandwich and French toast. The lavender latte was also good. We will be back. Overall good service, food and value.

    I really need to start coming to this place more often! I tried the iced latte again and this time it was better. But I really loved the hot honey chicken bowl! Everything is so fresh and healthy, but flavorful too. I was able to take home leftovers for a second meal. Highly recommend.

    Delicious food. Big menu. Friendly staff. Large dining area. We will definitely be back. I got the sweet & Spicy tofu bowl.

    Dave's Cosmic %hit Subs... Where do you want me to start?…read more We're in town for the CBUS Blue Jackets and Door Dashed this bull %hit to our ABnB. To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap.

It's a sandwich for god's sake. I ordered the chicharron sandwich which was delightful. Crispy edges on the bread, the juice from the pork and the pickled onion was a perfect marriage. The chunkiness of the pork was a bit dry and I desperately wanted more onions but it was all so good. The hot sauce was mild and added an elevated layer of heat but again, still very mild hot sauce. Lines felt long when you walked in while lunch is bustling but they are quick and efficient. I may have waited 4-5min and had my sandwich ready to go.

They don't offer much more than sandwiches (despite the name) and sadly no homemade chips or plantains at this location- BUT - the sandwiches alone are WORTH IT. I'm 42 and have had the same list of top five sandwiches for the past twenty years until today. The chicharrón sandwich was *empingao* and is now solidly in my top five!!!!

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.

    It is St Patrick's Day so I looked for a deli with corned beef sandwiches nearby and found Katz's…read more Having lived in NYC I had high expectations for a deli with Katz in the name. Additionally, having had a Goodman's Deli mile high corned beef sandwich when I lived in Cleveland, I had even higher expectations. Their most popular sandwich is the Reuben so I went with that. Katzingers did not meet them. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich I was shocked the line wasn't out the door to place orders before they closed and the dining room had maybe 6 people in it. There were about 6 to go bags on the shelf along with mine. When I mentioned to the cashier that I was surprised it wasn't busier, she said it'll be busier tomorrow. I said the day after St Pat's? No answer. Another not good sign in my mind. When I got home, the wrapped sandwich was bigger than my hand but not very tall. The paper had areas of grease which is a good sign for this sandwich. The corned beef itself was tender but there wasn't as much of it, maybe an inch high and 1/3 of the bread had no corned beef. I also could not taste the thousand island dressing. The rye bread was toasted but pretty soggy. The crust was mostly crunchy. The bread slices were paired upside down putting a narrower side a larger side against each other. There is not enough sauerkraut and it is not very sour. I was given the choice of a dill or garlic pickle but I cannot tell you how it was because they didn't put it in the bag. I expected this sandwich to have so much meat in it, I could eat for multiple days for $18. Again, disappointed. Maybe I should've gotten the deli sized version but paying that much for a sandwich... The inside of the deli is fun and it's obvious it's been around a long time and has been well loved. I wanted to like Katzinger's but since the price and the quality don't match, I cannot.
