Diners are my favorite type of restaurant and it's been that way since I was a little girl, so let me tell you I was shocked that I hadn't been to Tealside yet! It was a small space but feels like a diner from an old movie. It was cozy and fun! I got the Tealside Slammer with scrambled eggs, potato cakes, and upgraded the standard pancake to a waffle with brown sugar butter. It's one of my favorite meals I've had this year. I've never had potato cakes before, so now I am on a mission to learn how to make them from home. The eggs were buttery and fluffy - I loved them. The sausage tasted just like how my grandma makes it. The waitress (who was super bubbly and friendly!) suggested I get the brown sugar butter with my waffle and she was so right. I've never had something like that, but there is no going wrong with brown sugar or butter - the combination of the two obviously is amazing! I can't wait to go back and try even more on the menu! read more

Pretty good brunch! My daughter and I stopped in recently for brunch before some shopping. It's a very small place and it gets busy. My daughter has been here before but this was my first time. I ordered the Brooklyn Bowl with gravy and over medium eggs. I also got a hot tea. My daughter ordered the Sweet Brunch Sandwich with Home fries and an Iced Caramel Latte. Both of us enjoyed our brunch. My daughter thought her iced coffee was just a little too sweet but she liked it also. It's a very small diner and gets really busy - so it's hard to get a seat. 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

Tealside Diner - Cod sandwich with Saratoga chips and cheeseburger with French fries. - Salad Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

Onion rings are out of this world. Highly recommend this diner! Seems like most everything on the menu is made in-house. 6 stars

5 stars with diner expectations! Shares a parking lot with a filling station...the gas pumps feet from the front door gave us pause, but the interior was bright and welcoming. Our group of 5 sat at the only empty table. Wait staff was busy! but cheerful and prompt. Kitchen really kept up too...our meals arrive quickly and were hot and perfectly cooked. I bravely tried the goetta, a Cincinnati specialty, and glad I did...Crisp and perfectly seasoned! Our new go to spot when in the are to shop at Jungle Jim's. read more

Lily and Jen were adorable, fun, and ushered in a yummy dinner experience for me and my friends. We got the Meatloaf sandwich, Frisco Melt, and Southern burger. All goodness! Clean, bright, soft pop music. And the team seemed to know clients so this must be a popular local spot! read more

Great little hole in the wall diner. Found this place while out and about with my husband. It was packed so I knew it would be good. Staff members were super friendly greeting you as you came in and the food was delicious. I had the Breakfast Skillet which perfectly hit the spot. Potatoes and bacon with melted cheese covered with sausage gravy and two over medium eggs to top it off. My husband had the Chicken Biscuit which looked equally good. Service was a little slow, but they were also slammed with customers. 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

French toast breakfast sandwich is really good! Home fries were some of the best I've ever had. More like fried potatoes than traditional home fries. Highly recommend both. 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

First time eating at Tealside Diner. Wonderful breakfast and brunch selections. Everything my group ordered was wonderful.

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

Always great food and service! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely recommend.

Place used to be a great place to eat with wonderful specials every evening but Sunday. Really gone downhill recently. Wednesday night special went up 40% with no warning given. Sauce on the ribs are been substituted and so spicy many are dissatisfied. Such a shame. Used to be a great place 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

Jason provided excellent service! He was friendly and made great recommendations. The locally sourced burgers were the best smashburgers we've had in a while. It is also rare to find onion straws! It was a great find while traveling. 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

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

It is always delicious and clean. A comfortable place for families to dine. The servers are friendly and efficient too!

Food was good. Staff was friendly, it was a quiet place to eat and be left alone. The prices were affordable.

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

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

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
