Breakfast & lunch only diner, just a short jump from 270 interstate exit. Perfect for travelers as well as the locals. I'm a breakfast fan and a flavor fan.
This location is in a small strip center which allows for a large shared parking lot. The interior is bright and clean, without all that dust collecting clutter on the walls. Staff is friendly and menu knowledgeable. There is no Military or first responder discount, except veterans day. Seniors however do get an unposted discount if asked. Booths on the perimeter and tables down the middle, with a U shaped counter in the back by the kitchen. Some changes I was told were coming are... a wind break vestibule on the front door, and a dining room expansion into the space next door(see pic). I have concerns because the location in Westerville did this, but the kitchen did not expand. That means longer wait times for food. Hoping for the best, since this kitchen is a bit bigger.
Blueberry pancakes were good. Not on the high fluff cake side or the thin glutenous side. Gluten is that chewy taste from over mixing the batter. Pork tenderloin is supposedly pounded, battered and fried here. Maybe they par cook them during prep. Never seen it, or heard pounding. Boy oh boy is it huge(see pic)). Not paper thin, and a subtle salt & pepper flavor. Comes as a sandwich or Indy 500 breakfast plate. Now reach out and add some flavor to your plate with CaJohns table sauce(see pic)). It's a local business that's awarded globally. I had their corned beef hash at the north store and can say, it's NOT canned. Taste before salting.
Hope...
Read moreClean nice diner. Food was good, but a little bland. I had the sausage gravy and biscuits meal with eggs. Weirdly they put the eggs actually on the open-faced biscuit and put the gravy on them, which leaves the biscuits dry on the bottom, and your hash browns orphaned off to one side getting cold. Rearranged that. Had to ask for extra gravy as I scraped the gravy off the eggs and onto the biscuit (you only get 1) and it wasn't enough to cover it. It was like 2-3 tablespoons of sausage gravy. The sausage barely had flavor, but I'm a guy who likes bold sausage so some may like that. These were more like mild sausage pellets.
Seating. I'm a fat'ish guy but not crazy big, (2x) and they put us in a tiny 2-person booth with the seats bolted to the floor. They use the same tables as the ones on the floor which takes up all the space. With someone across from me It was so tight I couldn't even lean forward when I took bites. By the end of the meal I was actually just picking my plate up and holding it under my chin while I ate as I couldn't get my face over my plate on the table. I might try it again as I don't like to write a local spot off from 1 bad experience. But definitely I'll get something else, and going to insist on the bar or a table. The booths need smaller tables or moved...
