We decided to run barrels here today instead of Albion, where we run yesterday. Change things up a bit and only 55 miles to here. Noon start. So we're having a breakfast variety of pancake, eggs, hash browns with jalapeños, onions, and also half order of biscuits and sausage gravy. Old divey place here which we both really like. And all was excellent

That's how I found Regina's Kitchen. Regina's is a little hard to find because it's located inside Pioneer Plaza where multiple businesses are. Regina actually runs the restaurant but didn't seem super chatty. There is no fryer so the menu is simple. I knocked off a star because I was hoping for more food options, friendlier service, and the cookies were not my favorite. Reminiscent of food you might find in grandma or mom's kitchen during the summer. I got a tuna salad sandwich. Simple and delicious.

I worked for a couple weeks and just knew it wasn't gonna work, I was just under to much pressure there I knew eventually I would be the one getting yelled at, I talked to employees and they've all thought about leaving plenty of times and because of him. He had been saying things about me to the other employees because I moved a table to close to the wall and forgot to wipe off a cart before putting it in the back around the 2nd week I was there . I ended up quiting on my break around the 4th or 5th week I just brought my clothes and hat inside and told my employee I was sorry and I couldn't do it, nothing disrespectful not bad said just that. I come back after two days for my last check to sign a paper I walk in stand next to the counter and don't say a word just wait to be helped and the owner Steve decided he wants to yell out loud "oh it's my favorite person that just up and fuckin left the other day" and then in a different/mimicking voice says "I want my money I want my paycheck". Are you fucking kidding me that is so beyond unprofessional you are 58 and the owner of this business but can't even treat your employees or customers with decency, it's actually crazy how you can act like that I was completely dumb founded, you need to check yourself. And to everyone else working there you do not deserve to be treated like that.

I ordered eggs over-medium and they came out cook solid all the way through and over cooked to the point of being dry. On the other hand, the pancakes were thin and soggy.

When the waitress came over, she didn't apologize for the wait or anything just said "are you ready?" We ordered food and drinks and again, it took like 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Still no apology. Finally got our drinks and our food came pretty quickly, which I was happy for. Unfortunately the food was bland and my mom's was disgusting. My kids both got pancakes and they ate and it was good so I was happy with that. I got a French dip and the au jus had barely any flavor, and the roast beef tasted like it was a few days old and definitely tough. Chicken fried steak was literally disgusting and a cheeseburger was completely overcooked. It was decently clean but the bathroom was kinda dirty and there was no paper towels. Overall, just a really disappointing experience and we will not be back.

Their hours are primary A.M. so if you're a night owl you'll have to make special accommodations in order to get there before all the deliciousness has disappeared. Sometimes you'll have to fight the 9-5 working crowd who will clean out the place for treats for their office folk. Columbus can be a rough town. Also they're old school and operate cash-only; but you're right next door to FNB and their ATM-- so be prepared to bring dolla billz.

Best donuts in town yo.

This location is still in its new phase; there have been a couple blips in the ordering process-- which probably are due to inexperience--things that I'm sure will get worked out in time. Otherwise it's good service-- just avoid going during Columbus' busy times (8am, noon, 4pm) and you should be fine.
