Extensive menu that they serve all day. We came for breakfast. Lots of locals. Put your order in at the counter and they bring your order to the table. Service is prompt and the server was chatty and nice. Prices are reasonable. My three egg veg omelette with toast and potatoes was 8.99. I'm not sure why it is not busier but I'm a fan who will be back. read more

Zorba's Diner - Breakfast ALL day - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This spot has been several restaurants. Zorba's is a fast service diner. Order at the counter, from a huge menu. Well, it's big, but there are so many things on it that the one on the wall has tiny print and is hard to read. If you're older like me, you might want to pick up a paper menu. Which they have plenty of. Menu covers all the basics for breakfast and a lot of omelette options. I didn't look closely at the lunch side but there are some interesting choices there that I would've gotten if it weren't 8 AM. Service minimal but nice, friendly ordering and then they bring the food out to your table. I got biscuits and gravy, of course. Because I love them, and because I make really good ones at home. The sausage gravy is from a can probably, but decent. The biscuits were also industrial commercial types, but sturdy enough for gravy. You can get them with eggs which I did. We have our own chickens, so I am also judgy about eggs, the ovae themselves and the preparation style. I asked for over medium, and what I usually get is this, over easy. A little runnier than I like, but not bad. And they have hot sauce on the table, which I always appreciate. Price was very reasonable, speed was excellent. The place is nice enough and comfy. Handy on the corner with plenty of parking. Solid choice for a diner, nothing particularly special. read more

SEVEN WORDS: All-Day Breakfast / Cozy Yet Quaint / Slightly Pricy. . Located on East Broad and Nestled between Bexley North and North Whitehall, Zorbas is a Bustling...well, I'd call it more of a Restaurant instead of the self-named Diner. . The aambiqnce is Clean with Ample Seating for a Full Crowd.Yes, you do have to order at a Counter, but the Clerk brought the Three Dishes out to our table without hassle. . I ordered Biscuits and Gravy with two Scambled Eggs. That's the Haf-Order. It was $7, and came with one sourdough biscuit draped in a light turkey gravy and topped with two soft-scrambled eggs. I should've ordered the Full Version, because I misjudged it. My meal(S) came to $14. A fair price, and although I don't like the sourness of Turkey Gravy, I felt most would love it, especially at the low price. . My Wife ordered the Tex-Mex plate. It's portion is about that of an old-school breakfast place, closer to a serving plate in size, loaded with Three Eggs, Chorizo, Hash Browns, and two pieces of toast. . She absolutely loved her meal, bringing home a heaping doggie bag after a full eat. . Our Friend Ron ate the Buckeye Plate, which was close to Tee Jayes Barnyard Buster, but without Gracy. He enjoyed that, too. Our entire order, for 2 Entrees, two small entrees, and three drinks, came to $51. A Decent Deal. We cannot wait to go Again, and I will probably try the Buckeye Plate. read more

The cashier greeted us as we walked in, and was very friendly as we decided on our order. I ordered the Greek Omelette, it was very good, would have been even better with a side of tzatziki. IMHO the price are a little high for a place that doesn't offer table service, but I digress. Lastly, our food came out fairly slow for there only being 3-4 tables in the entire restaurant, so I'd be interested to see how they perform when slammed. read more

The inside is a quiet inviting area. More like a seat urself diner. I ordered a side salad. Added some grilled chicken to the salad. I also ordered cup of chicken noodle soup. Also order a beef hot dog made like a coney style. Added extra onions and held off on the cheese. Results the side salad was a nice size. The chicken is more like char grilled. I prefer moist softer chicken. Once i added some seasoning to it. It will do the job. The chicken noodle soup had egg shell noodles the chicken bites were soft and carrots were fresh. I would say once you add some salt it will pep it up. Just a tad bland. But over all was fresh. The coney hot dog was tasting does the job. Chilli has a bit of sweet to it. I also sampled a bite of there tuna and that was flavorful. Over all I would go back to try other items read more

Zorba's Diner - On the side waiting for my to go - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Great experience at Zorbas. You order at the counter and they bring you your meal. I had the veggie omelet add sausage with hash browns. The omelet was delicious and a large portion. Taste was good and the veggies still had a slight crunch. Hashbrowns we're good, but could have been crispier. Friendly and quick service. Definitely recommend! read more

Zorbas diner is a cute and quaint little restaurant. The meat omelet was very big. I would've liked a different cheese another than American cheese. I wasn't aware that's what it would come with. The hash browns were average. Not a ton of flavor. The pancake was good and the breakfast sandwich too. I'd come back if I was in the area but there's lots of other breakfast competition in Columbus. read more

I was just in the area wanting to kill time and hungry and didn't want to go any typical breakfast spots so I stepped into Zorba's. Before it was Zorbas it was a very delicious Chinese food spot so I've been eyeing this spot for sometime now! I walked in to an empty dining area which is fine by me just means I should be able to get my food pretty quickly. Ms Kisha greeted me and let me know I can take a menu, seat myself, when I'm ready I can come back up and order. I will say when I order and I am indecisive lol. I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I ended up making my own combo which before taxes was just around $10 which isn't bad at all! A lot of the omelet options included 3 to 4 eggs which is just too much for me so I got the mini breakfast (2 eggs) with bacon, hash brown, 2 slices of wheat toast and I added a side of grits. The food came out in less than 10 minutes. The food was pretty good but I couldn't taste any seasoning on the eggs and hash browns. They do provide salt, franks red hot, mustard, ketchup, and sugars. No pepper was at my table and I noticed it was missing from a few other tables as well. Great portions for everything. I think I ordered enough for maybe 2 people or 1 person and a kid to split. My favorite was the hashbrown! It was nice and crunchy on the outside and a rich creamy texture on the inside. I would definitely get that every time. Overall I enjoyed my breakfast listening to pop/top 40 music and being in peace as I was still the only person dining in throughout my 40 minute stay. read more

First time diner here. I really liked how open it was. The design flowed very well. We were greeted with a friendly smile and they helped out on ordering. The reuben i got was blistering hot and thick. I really liked how the put the dressing on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful! This was our first time stopping in and it was a great last-minute choice. Order at the counter and they bring the food out to you in no time! read more

This was our 1st time trying this place and it was very good! I'm from the Detroit area and we have the best coneys in the Detroit area unlike the so called coney places in ohio, that Cincinnati style coney is not a good coney. But, Zorbas Diner is the Detroit style coney! It is the only place I've found that taste and reminds me of coneys from back home! We were told the owner is from Detroit but, he wasn't there the day we were in there. I'm hoping next time we go, to meet the owner. I'm so glad to see and taste food made like I grew up on from Detroit! Thank you for opening this place. The food was very good and the service was very friendly and fast! Both the lady who took our order and the guy cooking in the back came back out to see how everything was and took time to talk with each guest. I had 3 coneys with everything on them just like I remember from back home, hot dog coney sauce mustard and onions and a chili fries. They were absolutely DELICIOUS! My wife had a cheeseburger with onions and said it was good. We will have to go back and try their breakfast sometime as they serve breakfast all day just like the coney places back home do. read more

Wanted a good breakfast, yelped out this gem on the way out of town. Set up to order food at the counter and they bring it to you. I got the mini (basic) breakfast and added a pancake. If the pancake wasn't enormous, I would have finished both plates. Food was excellent, no complaints. Service was quick and the restaurant was nice and open. Friend got a western omelet with grits, clean plate award goes to her! Excellent find, definitely would return to try their lunch/dinner menu. read more

This place did not disappoint. From the time we entered we received a warm friendly greeting. I ordered the half portion of pancakes and my husband ordered the half portion of French toast. Often when I order this kind of food it tastes like something I would make. Who wants to go to a restaurant and taste your own cooking ? Not me . These did not taste anything like what I would cook. I had 2 huge fluffy pancakes served with butter. I had a taste of my husbands French toast and it was delish. Plenty of syrup too. When our server came to get our plates she was not just friendly but so personable. There seemed to be a lot of regulars here. Probably because of the amazing food and service. BTW - they have more than just breakfast food. Salads, sandwiches, pastas - many with a Greek influence. Do yourself a favor and go for breakfast , lunch or dinner ASAP ! read more

The food is cheap yet full of quality. I doordashed and got 3 meals for less than $30.00 including a tip. Small breakfast, coney meal, and a Buffalo chicken salad. All good and fresh with a drink. I'll be ordering again. read more

my partner is originally from Detroit, so when we moved to Columbus, she always talked about how much she misses coney islands. we found Zorbas on Doordash! they have a great variety of greek, italian and american options. my favorite would be their breakfast, their hashbrowns are freshly grated so it's perfect. i also enjoy their coneys and chili cheese fries. the buffalo chicken pita is delicious as well! honestly, everything there is great. between the kindness of the staff, prices, and quality of food, i would highly recommend! read more

I loved the gyro. My husband said the Cobb said was average. Fries were seasoned- very good overall.

Our favorite breakfast place near Bexley! Great ambience and service is top notch! Highly recommend checking them out!

We arrived at 3:00 pm. When we entered, no one greeted us. I caught the eye of a young woman at the counter, who told us to sit anywhere (there were only two children sitting at a table). After I had gone up to the counter to order, it did not improve. Two sandwiches, two soups, two fountain drinks. Food was delivered fairly quickly, although the tuna melt was cold and the cheese had not melted. Employee turned off the televisions and started mopping the floor at about 3:45. read more

1st thing and most important to read: Make it a point to go eat here SOON. You'll encounter abundant and easy parking upon arrival (refreshing!) and be greeted by a friendly staff. Hey even the cook is just directly behind the cashier and willing to speak directly to you on any menu questions. I've dined here now half-dozen times and chose different items each time. Yeah I guess there might be some "Greek" items on the menu... but this is a vast array of American and other cultures represented. Shown here is their fish plate; more than I can safely consume in one sitting. Prepared perfectly, and THE FRIES: exclnt and crispy. The BURGER is a must for those like me...thusly inclined. Many satisfying options. Beverages are self-serve and you're given a HUGE tumbler, more than i usually drink with a meal. PRICES are exceptionally fair, and there are multiple large-screens around the dining area. Staff even put a channel I needed to see once. I'll be a regular patron, 2 thumbs WAY up for ZORBA's. read more

The food here is horrible! No one in my family liked it so I ended up having to cook. It tastes like something you would get from a hospital. Not worth your money at all! I wish I could get mine back. Horrible Horrible Horrible. read more

I have started to go here every Saturday for breakfast. It is a hidden gem! I strongly recommend the Greek omelet. Everyone is friendly and would recommend trying it out! read more

Don't let the name fool you. It has a nice variety of ethic and American selections. My husband and I recently visited this very clean restaurant with a large variety of offerings on their menu. On our first visit I chose the fish sandwich. It came on a large bun needed for the large fish portions. I tried the onion rings, great choice. Thin coating and a slice ring of onion, nicely fried. The next visit we both chose the Angus burgers. My husband had Swiss cheese, one of the four choices. Both were cooked to order. It came presented on a large bun, needed for a thick patty. I appreciated the leaf lettuce instead of shredded. The tomatoes were NOT sliced paper thin, like other restaurants. We tried the fries. Another good choice. The good-sized portion had a crispy coating. We are looking forward to our next visit to try something else. Five stars all around. The only small item that we didn't enjoy was the tartar sauce. Its flavor-texture reminded us of deviled eggs. Overall, we rated the food 5 stars and the cleanliness and friendliness of the owners, 6 stars. Breakfast is served all day. Hrs. M-Sat. 8 am - 8 pm, Sun. 8 am - 3 pm, Open most holidays read more

Zorba's Diner - Angus Swiss cheeseburger with crispy-coated fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This was our first time at Zorba's. We went for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were diners coming and going, but it was not packed. You order at the counter, fill your drinks, and grab a table. Once your food is ready, the friendly staff brings it to your table. I was concerned when we first walked in because the menu was on a screen on the wall. I don't see well enough to read all the details this picky eater needs to see. No worries. There are paper menus available at the counter. There are lunch and dinner selections, but breakfast is available anytime. Nice! I like my eggs basted, but many places can't tackle this request. When the counter person asked how I wanted my eggs, I asked if they could do basted. She said she didn't know what that was, but yelled back to the cook if he could do that. He confirmed he could, then questioned himself, then said ok. I was concerned, but have had basted failures in the past and survived, what's one more try? I got the hash browns (shredded), but they also had home fries (cubed) as well. Took bacon versus sausage links and white toast versus wheat or rye( I think, and my mini breakfast order was complete. Not really sure what was mini about it, but that's what they called it. Husband ordered a sausage and cheese omelet Well, hello basted eggs! They were actually cooked perfectly. The whites were firm and the entire yolks were runny. And fresh, the eggs tasted very fresh. I have never had better basted eggs at a restaurant. After years of trying, I have finally found someone who can turn out basted eggs as they should be. Thank you Antonio! You're my hero! The hash browns were very crispy, just the way I prefer. They needed some salt, but they were a little disappointing flavorwise. There was an off-putting taste to them. I think it is from the type of fat they use to cook them. I've tasted it before at previous spots, usually cheapy diners, and I just don't care for it. I think that was the only real negative I had with my breakfast. Cooked right,, not so good on flavor. The bacon was ok, not bad, not great. Nicely cooked though. The husband ate the omelet generously filled with cut up sausage links and plenty of cheese slices. They had Frank's Red Hot, so he was happy. The staff was friendly and helpful , especially for us newbies. Food came out in a reasonable time. Had to wait for a new pot of coffee, but at least the husband got some that was fresh and hot. This was our third stop for breakfast this morning. The first was too small with a huge line of people waiting, the second was unexpectedly closed for a few days, so we came across Zorba's and decided to give it a whirl. So glad we did. read more

I eat here all the time. They have the best breakfast in town! The grilled chicken Mediterranean salad is delicious as well...

We accidentally found this place while renewing our drivers license nearby. I hesitate to write more as this will be the fourth day in a row we have eaten there and crowds might cause me to get takeout instead. This is absolutely the best affordable breakfast on this planet! The eggs are truly cooked to order. Tony has a secret recipe for his pancakes and his Chicago grits-what can I say. We also loved the crispy shredded hash browns and velvety sausage gravy. They are catering an Italian meal today for over 100 and we wish we were invited. Can't wait to visit from Atlanta again to grab a bite. read more

Got a carryout perch dinner on Good Friday. Very tasty. And one dinner was plenty for the two of us. The dine in facility was very nice - modern and clean. Plenty of parking. I would recommend that the owner change the name from Zorba's Diner to "Zorba's American Diner" to dispel the inference that it is based on Greek cuisine. That inference is drawn from our familiarity with "Zorba the Greek". (For those who might like a beer or some wine with dinner, I think Ohio law might not prohibit your bringing your own to a restaurant that does not have its own permit to sell/serve beer/wine. I will check that out when I have time.) read more
