Cafe Creekside

A cute family diner in downtown Gahanna. The server was very friendly and brought out complimentary pumpkin muffins, which were delicious! I got the Big Nasty, which was huge, delicious, and very reasonably priced at $9.99. The ambiance was very pleasant, and the experience reminded me of getting a good, home cooked meal.

First time visitor in many years. I'm glad to see they are still pushing out good food in a nice/clean environment. 5* all around:Eggs, Link Sausage, Red skin hash browns (best in town!), Texas rye toast. All that for $7.99Service, Environment & Cleanliness are each 5*The coffee 1*. That's generous. It was black water. It would be so easy to kick up the jams on this important item. Open 8-3. Closed Monday. Check them out when you're in the area

Lovely little family breakfast spot along the creek in downtown Gahanna! Pre pandemic prices and large portions. Highly recommend, the friendly server even gave us extra little pumpkin muffins in a cute little bowl

Nice little diner in old Gahanna that does breakfast, brunch & lunch. Typical diner with nice wait staff & decent prices. I had an Italian Chicken Sandwich & steak fries. Not too bad, but was nothing great either. She had a Mushroom Swiss Burger & she said it was FANTASTIC! She's kind of a burger snob, too, so it must have been good. The fries weren't fresh cut, but were evidently tasty. Nice, friendly place with ok food. Nothing special, but we were satisfied.

We were here a couple of months ago and I swear I wrote a review, but it's gone. Oh, well, gives me a chance to write one again (and reminds me to go back, maybe this week.) We went on a weekday morning and it was steady but not busy. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. I got the Big Nasty, which is sausage gravy and biscuits plus eggs, bacon or sausage, and potatoes. It was huge, and tasty. Sweetie got pancakes and bacon and enjoyed them. Maybe not the best breakfast ever but pretty darn good, plus huge portions at a low price, plus great service. Plus a cozy atmosphere inside, and a nice view outside with the creek. Plus, in a historic building (a plaque outside says it is 200 years old this year- wow!) We'll definitely be back, and I might just stop in tomorrow.

Their cinnamon rolls are gigantic, and at only $4.99, I had to try one. They make it fresh from scratch on demand so it takes awhile to be served. For us, it was a 35 minute wait. It was good, though a tad undercooked. Understandable as me and my companions weren't the most patient diners ever. One thing they could have done to better serve their customers is bring out the food that was ready first and then, as we ate, brought out the roll - after it was thoroughly baked. I got the waffle and sausage links. My sister, who also got a roll, had a cheeseburger. All three of us agreed the food was good. The coffee was very good. The service was adequate and the atmosphere kitschy (see photos). Overall, a decent place to eat and a great spot with good views to wake up to.

I came on a Sunday for brunch and was looking for some good greasy food! The cafe was a little small inside and there weren't very many people working. It was all seat yourself and there was a line, everyone was respectful and waited their turn but it probably would've been easier and run more smoothly had there been a host. Once we were seated we were greeted by a very friendly server. We were able to order quickly but there was quite a wait on the food. I ordered a coffee, orange juice, the lil nasty, pancakes, and fries. When my coffee was running low there was always someone nearby to fill up my cup! The orange juice wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. The lil nasty was amazing and such a great deal for the price. The pancakes were very yummy and great price as well. The real star of the show was the seasoned waffle fries which were so crispy and delicious. Overall, this place has pretty good diner style food for GREAT prices. Everything moves a little slow, so it's not great if you're in a rush but is nice if you're looking to sit down and take your time. I'll definitely be back!

Cafe Creekside is a nice little diner located - you guessed it - right along the creek in Gahanna. In season, they also offer outdoor dining - creekside - but today's weather still needed to be warmer to try outdoor dining.Being the burger freak that I am - I had to try one of their burgers and settled on the jalapeno/pepper jack burger which was served with lettuce, tomato, and onion on a grilled bun. I opted for the $0.50 upcharge for outstanding waffle fries - well worth the upgrade cost. The burger itself was prepared using a frozen, pre-made patty but it was prepared very well. The pepper jack cheese and jalapenos were the perfect accompaniment to this burger. If not for the relatively generic frozen patty - this burger would have been a home run. The waffle fries were five-star.My wife went for the beef version of the Philly cheese steak (there is also a chicken version) and she opted for the $0.99 upgrade to onion rings. She said the onion rings were fantastic (five-star) and that the sandwich was very good but not great.Service was excellent; prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be back to try something else on their menu. BTW - this is a breakfast/lunch place and it closes at 3:00pm.

Came here on a Saturday morning. It was quite busy, with a line out of the door, but, we didn't have to wait terribly long. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive, and got us situated right away. I ordered a cinnamon bun before my meal. It was VERY saucy with a amount of the frosting on top, but I actually love lots of sauce/icing. If you don't, be aware when you order that. My meal was the eggs Benedict, a menu favorite, with potatoes. I had no complaints about the Benny, lots of the hollandaise sauce on top, and the potatoes were seasoned nicely. All in all, it was a tasty and filling meal.

First time. Rather impressive.Great variety of menu. Food, Service very good. A bit hectic but most diners are.
