Great experience every time. Recently Peyton and Ashley were very friendly and gave great service!

The staff/servers always greet you warmly when you walk in and the servers are sweet. It's a small diner right next to the gas station. There is not a lot of parking. They serve breakfast all day. It's usually busy whenever I go for dinner around 5 or 6pm but service is quick. It might be hard to navigate and find a seat because it's a small place. The string lines are cute. They have music playing and Pixar movies on the TV. My favorite is the Sweet Brunch Sandwich. I also really like their biscuits and sausage gravy. Their home fries have the perfect amount of crispiness. I've tried other things on the menu and it's all been decent. Their flavored iced coffee was not great, though. I mean it's a diner so it's not like... super fancy and I wouldn't exactly say it's worth going out of your way for. I gave a bonus star for the service :) read more

First visit to this cozy little diner--and it was well worth the wait.We've wanted to try it for a while, but the parking lot is almost always packed. Today we finally caught our chance, and I'm so glad we did. The diner is small and bustling, with closely spaced tables and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. We grabbed a seat and were impressed by the expansive menu, but for our first visit we stuck with classic favorites: a cod fish sandwich and a single cheeseburger. Both were absolutely delicious. My husband is convinced the French fries were the best he's ever had--and that's saying something after 65+ years of fry-tasting experience. My Saratoga chips were crisp, light, and full of flavor. A great first experience, and definitely not our last visit. read more

I went out of my way to try this cute diner out but unfortunately I didn't get service after waiting 15 minutes. A group that walked in after us were helped before us. Left Disappointed and hungry. read more

We went to go check this place out, we waited about 15 minutes to get acknowledged by the staff, people came in after us and they were waited on before us, nice ambiance, didn't get to try the food. read more

Pros: -price -nice mix of diner food and some different variations of it Cons: -the food was just okay -the "lattes" are definitely not lattes, but coffee mixed with creamer and they were not good. read more

Oh my goodness. We are traveling from WV and saw the diner on yelp!! We drove to and past it thinking oh no... but we turned around and said let's do the adventure!! Wow we were so glad we turned around!! The atmosphere is sweet!!! SERVICE WAS BEYOND AMAZING! Lily was so good!! The tomato soup was so hearty and full of flavor. The meatloaf melt was moist and delicious!! We also tried the chicken and waffles! Just wow! So very delicious and great experience!! Thank you Tealside Diner and Lily!! read more

A nice clean dinner. It is located off the beaten path, but not far and is well worth the drive down old State Route 74. The food is excellent dinner food. The goetta breakfast with eggs and hash browns is my favorite; however, I have been here a few times and have enjoyed everything I have ordered. I highly recommend the place. read more

I am so happy I discovered Tealside Diner! I was hungry after taking my car in to get serviced and found Tealside Diner when I searched for a potential lunch spot close by. I have come here twice and gotten the Southerner each time and it is delicious! I recently visited and brought my family with me, so they could try Tealside Diner and they enjoyed it as well. Their coffee drinks were amazing. We got the Vanilla Wafer Latte and a Chocolate Cherry Cordial. Our service was great and our servers were very friendly and helpful. Tealside Diner is a cute, local spot. I hope to visit again soon! read more

So BUSY! Obviously a popular place. As a in Ohio wanted to try local. Excellent! Just had breakfast how else to judge a diner? GOETA is a German recipe for a blend of sausage & oatmeal and??? Anyway always try new/different. It was like a $2 up charge over bacon/ sausage. Had the potato cakes instead of hash browns or home fries and biscuits. Always go with options. So, GOETA a little salty & kinda pasty (?) but it's good. I'm Slavic so - meet right? It's different and good. Biscuits a little doughy but good and eggs perfectly overeasy. Potato cakes -perfect. Overall excellent- affordable and a little different enough to be a YES!! read more

Sometimes the smallest diners can deliver the biggest flavor, and I have to admit, I was certainly impressed by the big flavor coming from this small diner. It's a little off the proverbial beaten path but certainly worth a visit. My boss told me about this spot so we decided to go on a Thursday. Parking may be a little difficult since it shares a building with an Ameristop gas station. The place itself definitely has that classic small diner feel and the staff are all very friendly and inviting. I'd recommend going early since there isn't much seating and they get packed FAST. The menu is loaded with different breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, all served all day. After some perusing of the menu, my boss opted for the Southerner burger, my co-worker opted for the Tealside club sandwich, and I opted for the Frisco melt, all three with fries. Even though they were pretty busy, we didn't wait long at all for our food. I really enjoyed my Frisco melt and am always a fan of crinkle fries. Our server was super friendly and attentive too. I really like little diners like this because they're often some of the best finds. I could see going back again, likely with my lady, because I'd want to try one of their breakfast options. I kept eyeing the omelettes so I might get one next time. But there will absolutely be a next time. read more

This may look like it's part of a gas station but it's actually a stand-alone diner. It's a super cozy, cute spot that packs in the tables. When we entered, we came with a large party (9 ) and they were able to seat /serve us quickly. The server was so kind, funny and attentive. The food was also really good, with large quantities and adjustments made if needed. I love that we stumbled upon this place and if we're ever in the area, would come back. read more

I was traveling on business and thought I would stop by Tealside Diner to see what all the fuss was about with this diner. Well, after eating there I now know! Upon arrival I was immediately welcomed and my server, Julie M. who helped me with my seating and took my drinks order. When she came back I asked her to recommend a dish as I was looking for the best "Tealside experience". I told her I wanted a more traditional breakfast so she recommended the Schoolhouse Breakfast with a side of biscuits and gravy. The food came super quick and, I must say, was cooked to perfection. I ordered the eggs over medium, ham steak, and freshly sliced home fries. Everything was great. Also, the homemade biscuit was incredible and the sausage gravy had a hearty supply of sage breakfast sausage chunks in it. I was not disappointed at all with anything on the table. Once I finished I went to pay for the meal and asked their GM Diane Watson what "Goetta" was as I saw it on the menu. Apparently it is a Cincinnati staple and she explained how it was made. After I paid for the meal, she graciously gave me a sample of Goetta to try and was excited to see how this Yankee from New York liked the local favorite! It was pretty good and we sat there for a few minutes talking about where I'm from. If you're looking for a great breakfast with super nice people and incredible service, then Tealside Diner is your spot!!! Thanks Julie and Diane for a great experience... And my compliments to the cooks!! I'll definitely be back! read more

Not bad. Potatoes were full of flavor. Eggs were slight way undercooked but would rather have that than overcooked. We stopped here while waiting on my oil change and will probably stop again if I'm the area. read more

Love it here. Great food, giant portions, friendly service. It's in a little plaza with a gas station. It's not much to look at from the outside, but the inside is cozy and inviting. Also don't be thrown by a lot of cars in the parking lot, I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a table. This is a great little local business and my go to for breakfast. read more

Delivered food was hot and well prepared. The packaging was great and the food was terrific. Most importantly was that it was hot. It's so awful to expect a tasty breakfast and have it cold read more

Lilly and Bridget were great. Hot coffee, crispy bacon, warm smiles, Bee Gee is an omelette with biscuits and gravy inside. Super good. Super affordable and place you can eat everyday or just sip on some coffee to pass some time. read more

Took my husband here. I had been once before and liked it. I got the cheeseburger and a side salad, he got the biscuit and gravy meal. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere. Waitress came up quickly and asked for our drink order. We took a few minutes bc he hadn't been there before so he was indecisive. Overall good was good, waitstaff awesome, and service was quick. Definitely will go back. read more

Another gas station diner. wait staff was impeccable, decor very homey super clean. We stopped in about 5:30 pm we ordered the chopped sirloin steak w/green beans and mashed potatoes w/mushroom and onion gravy. Great sear on the chopped steak, green beans w/ham and onions were delicious, the mashed potatoes were real with lumps. Awesome little diner. read more

The place is small with huge FLAVOR!!! Everything was amazing! I had the chicken and waffles and it was certainly something to write home about. Our waitress, Jen, made us feel so welcomed and told us about everything on the menu! She was so sweet! If we're ever in the area, we'll definitely be back! Ask for Jen!!! read more

My fiancée and I were traveling here from Louisville KY for a concert and stopped in for brunch. The food was absolutely amazing, we both loved what we ordered and it was some of the best brunch food I've ever had. The service was also so great, our server Emily was very tentative and helpful giving recommendations for our first time there. Needless to say we will be making trips from Louisville to eat here in the future haha. Tealside Diner, please bring a location to louisville!!! read more

Tealside Diner - Salad Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

Honestly every single time the food is good, the service is good, the whole vibe is excellent. I drive out of my way to eat here. I have not picked one thing on the menu that wasn't delicious. It is a little small and seating can be limited because it is busy. If you go in the winter you might need to bring in your coat because when the door gets opened it does blast cold air. But honestly, I would sit with my coat on by the front door it's that good! read more

Food was edible. Service was good Ambiance was nothing fancy but it is a diner. It was very clean read more

Walked in this morning and took a seat at the bar by the window. Servers walked past me multiple times but didn't think much of it because the restaurant was busy. Three parties walked in as I waited and took their seats. After 10 minutes of not being approached by a server, I turned to look at the dining area. I noticed two of those tables that came in after me had drinks and the third table was talking with a server. I guess they didn't need my business, therefore I left. This is my second visit to Tealside. First visit was excellent service and average food. Won't be back after today. read more

Love the food but way too many tables in that tiny area- very uncomfortable place to eat

Wow! This is the best breakfast we have had in a very long time. The service at the bar was incredibly warm, welcoming and fast! The best service we have had in years thanks to our server Hannah! She was the best! The food was hot, fresh and simply amazing. We shared an omelette that was so huge we barely finished it. The potatoes were so hot and delicious, and the goetta was the best I have had in a very long time. Overall I cannot recommend the food and service enough! We will be back soon! read more

Service is stellar, she recommended anything with the chicken strips since they're made in house. Got the chicken and biscuits ( strips, biscuits and gravy) added an egg and bacon. Hit the spot. FIL got a classic combo of eggs, bacon, hashbrown and toast. He left full and satisfied read more

One of my favorite places I have been to in a while, the staff was so fun and friendly. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a regular.

Out of towner here. Don't let the location fool you! Friendly servers, nice selection of menu items, fast and yummy food. I was especially fond of FernGully playing on the TV...what a classic from my childhood! I got the trifecta and my hubs got the Bee-Gee omelette. Bacon was soooo good! Great way to start our day. Thank you, ladies! read more

I love this cute little place! Every time I stop here, my food is delicious and all the servers are super friendly!!

Really cute neighborhood establishment to grab breakfast or lunch. This place definitely gets packed by the locals. Pancakes are huge and very good - burgers are good and reasonably priced. Honestly this is just a nice local place to grab breakfast or lunch. Staff is super friendly as well. read more

This place has really good breakfast food. I had the French toast sandwich. The service was good also. The people were really nice.

Food was splendid, staff was nice when I walked in the staff greeted me and made me warm inside.

This is a quint little place. A real hometown feel with great food. I ordered a pick up of breakfast- French toast, eggs, and fried potatoes. The food I saw coming out of the kitchen and how packed they were really showed how much people liked the place. I would like to try their lunch/ dinner next time I visit because it looked delicious. The price range is reasonable and you really get a good amount of food. Legit a diner vibe and nice staff. One thing I will say - be patient with the staff, I went on a Saturday morning and they were packed to the brim and I told the lady at the front to take her time because she was bustling. If you're over on that side of town, definitely check them out. read more

Tealside Diner - * Original French Toast, eggs, and fried potatoes - Salad Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

Went to lunch today. The place was packed as usual. This use to be one of our favorite places to go. A group was splitting between the bar and a 4top table. We were waiting next. The group saw the table open up and instead of fitting in the 6 top and giving us the 4 top for our family they took both tables and left the bar open. I have a young family. When I walked up to address the issue. Which prior to all of this I was not acknowledged at all. They had no solution and when I said how rude this was they just agreed. Unfortunately seems if you are not WHITE you can still get treated as a second class citizen. Great food unfortunately my family is not as important as the large group of white people. Unfortunately to say that we will never be going back. Not because of the food but the principle of how my family was treated. read more

This was some of the best food I have ever tried, I got the fill'e of fish and id was so flaky and it could melt in your mouth I bet I could 5 of those things!!The apple sauce was brilliant it was fresh and tasted so fresh! The French fries tasted AMAZING!!!!I loved how the workers made it feel so homey and shared so many jokes!! I loved how homey it was! And almost ovary thing was teal!! lol! COME HERE AGAIN! read more

From the reviews I had read, it sounded like dinner time was the best time for us to find a table and parking spot without waiting. We were successful on both counts. Tables were about 75% full throughout our entire meal. Service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Portions are plentiful. Highlights were the cheeseburgers, potato cakes, and soft drink syrups (vanilla and cherry). The French Fries were just done. Another couple of minutes of cooking time would have made them perfectly crispy. While I'm not sure this will be a destination restaurant for us, it's a nice option in the Eastgate area and an excellent alternative to the many chain restaurants and fast food joints. read more

Amazing place to eat. The staff is always so friendly. The food is just like eating grandparents house.

We were loyal patrons of the omelette house so naturally we had to give tealside a shot upon their opening. I would say the food was good, the service was friendly, and the ambiance is the same but it was just different.... A couple things we noticed is some of the menu items were the same or sounded so at least but it's just missing what we knew and loved. The gravy was different than what we were use to, the omelettes although good and similar sounding are different and we miss the cherry cheescake French toast... we would eat here again but we ultimately miss what we knew. read more
