    Big Country Breakfast
    Mark K.

    This should really be a separate entry, because it is owned by someone else, has a different name, and has a very different menu. Of course they do have both signs up still, so it's a little confusing. There are some diner items left on the menu: a few burgers, and some breakfast. But mainly there's a huge Mexican menu, with Mexican breakfast, lunch, dinners, drinks, etc. Met Mike here for lunch. It wasn't super busy at noon on a weekday. Service was great, although it was a little slow towards the end when we waited on our check. But in general, very good. Huge menu with lots of interesting stuff on it. I got esquite, Mexican street corn but in a dish instead of on the cob. Very good. Big portion. And I got carnitas. A pretty standard version, but very moist and tender, very flavorful. Came with fresh corn tortillas, plus the usual rice and beans, etc. I was starving and ate all of both, but both were pretty big portions, so I normally would've had a few leftovers. Definitely more on the menu I wanna try. A nice place to eat. Still feels like a diner, but somewhat redecorated. Prices were reasonable for quantity and quality.

    Big breakfast!

    Stopped in for breakfast and the staff could not have been nicer! Can I get blueberries in the pancakes - of course! Can I get a side of sourdough toast - sure! Highly recommend!

    Good ol diner vibes but with both greasy spoon diner eats PLUS super tasty Mexican comida! 100% loved it. Friendly, quick service, tasty food, amazing prices. This is a simple neighborhood diner - it's not fancy or pretentious but these are some of my favorite spots! We had Mexican eats this time and got completely stuffed for about $30. Love it and will def be back.

    Good hidden gem in the south side of columbus! Bae loves Mexican food and tios diner is the spot! They was quick and food was perfect. The French toast was so delicious! They play Mexican music and the decor is Elvis lol It's very clean and right off of 104 freeway!

    The King is still here, but he's sharing the stage with some folks from further South on the musical scene.

    Dan's is here no more, but Tio's is, so Tex/Mex fans rejoice! The walls are still awash with old diner kitsch. And now they have US & Mexican flags to add to the ambience. The breakfast is still enormous, even though it speaks a bit more Spanish than it used to. Lunch looks hearty. Dinner was more than ample. And the service is as agradable as can be. My Carnitas filled more than 1/3 of my plata. Mom's Popeye chicken (with spinach of course) filled half of her platter, and was a wonderful mix of "run for the border" flavors... heading south that is, because running the other way sucks. My margarita came with a generous slice of orange, a wedge of lemon, and blueberries under an umbrella. I was a bit slow on the trigger for pix, but from what so vices on my plate, I hope you can see that my Carnitas were done to perfection. The cheese dip was cheese dip, and the salsa was salsa. No surprises, just the food you'd expect your uncle to serve you when you stop in. Awesome stuff, guys. Muy bueno. Muy rico. ¡Muchas gracias, mis amigos nuevos! New note... cerveza only on Sundays until further notice. But still great food. Tonight mom & I both had the giant flan. It's all still very good here & well worth the trip south.

    Chilaquiles are really good!

    Portions are huge,food is delicious, and prices are the best around. Service is great!

    The food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The portions were big and we were given free chips and Salsa. The service was impeccable and the environment was kind and friendly. Can highly recommend.

I visited for breakfast/brunch in late December 2025 with a college friend and her son. The restaurant was busy when we arrived so we had to wait for about 10 mins for a table. We received our food in about 20 mins after they were ordered. The waiter brought us glasses of water and I may have ordered orange juice too. I ordered the pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. The pancakes were topped with some butter and ai added syrup too. They tasted fluffy and delicious. The scrambled eggs and bacon were well cooked and tasted good. My friend's son ordered a breakfast sandwich and my friend ordered the eggs benedict. They seemed to both like what they got.

He was my server on a previous visit and had the same poor attitude then, so unfortunately today's experience was not surprising. Hospitality and customer service matter, especially in the restaurant industry, and a tip is not automatically given it's earned through good service and professionalism. Today, we went in and the man working the bar was once again rude and unwelcoming. When you ask for something, there's no "yes," "no problem," or even basic communication -- just a look. My son ordered a side of bacon with his meal, and they only brought one slice. We asked twice for the second slice and still never received it. At no point did he apologize, acknowledge the mistake, or communicate with us professionally. He eventually removed it from the bill, but the issue was never really the bacon it was the attitude and complete lack of hospitality. The food here is honestly good, which is why I've continued to come back. However, experiences like this make the environment feel uncomfortable and uninviting. I would probably visit much more often if the staff were friendlier, more attentive, and actually made customers feel welcome.

Charming decor and friendly staff. However, my experience was ruined due to an error on my take out order. I placed an order for three additional meals with an add on order of sausages. Easy, right? I initially thought so, so I wasn't concerned about my order being incorrect. I get home and my order is missing main items like pancakes, french toast, utensils, and it looked as if the order was just slapped together. I call immediately and I explained that I just had an eaten there and then ordered additional takeout and my takeout order was incorrect. The nice young lady apologized and offered to have it remade. Now I accepted that and also stated since I have to come back up there what other compensation can you provide me. She then transfers me to the incredibly Customer Service oriented manager named Juan. I do hope you can sense the sarcasm. As I explained my situation to him stating what items have been missed, what was wrong with the order and what I expected ask a reasonable solution to this situation. He then goes on and asked me several questions over and over again about the takeout meal, I explained to him one more time to which he cut me off, overtalked me, and really wasn't listening to resolve my issue. When he asked again what I ordered I said I already told you. At which point, he cursed and said he did not want to be "a$$ hole" and basically gave me the impression that he was unwilling to fix this situation. So I told him I was going to speak to him in a nicer tone that he was talking to me that I wanted him to remake the meal. I would be there in 10 minutes and I would like it piping hot. To Juan's credit my food was ready once I arrived however, he proceeds to tell me that his waitress and his expediter both checked the order and it was correct when it left. Which wasn't true obviously. As a matter of fact, my friend said she watched the waitress grab the bag and didn't open it and just came to the table. I don't have a reason to go get free food from an establishment where I've already paid and tipped the server. Second of all he indirectly called me a liar to my face, which is poor service in its own right. Thirdly, when I asked what other compensation he was willing to provide me, he just simply smiled and said no he wasn't going to do anything. Juan needs to go back to the beginning of where Customer Service starts in order to be a better front of the house manager, because when your server makes an error, you own it you do not place the blame back on the customer. Juan needs to be retrained on how to actually service people, he does not know how to talk to anyone. He did not know how to de-escalate the situation. I have been in Customer Service for 25 years and 15 of those have been working in an escalation department that was the worst interaction I believe I have ever encountered with a manager to resolve a situation. I mean Wendy's resolved issues better than this. Being that this was my first time coming to Delaney's, it will also be my last time. Because if you treat any customers the way you treated me, is clear he has no respect for the patrons of this establishment.
