DK Diner

Honestly one of my favorite diners I've visited. It's a pretty small space and there's a stand right in the middle where you can buy fresh donuts that are some of the best I've ever had (and I LOVE a good donut so I have tried a good amount!). The best were the classic glazed and the maple long john, but they also had some really good pumpkin specials (like a pumpkin cake donut and a pumpkin donut covered in cinnamon sugar). If you opt to sit down, drinks are self-serve but a server will come by to take your food order- we tried a couple of different things. The DK Pancakes were so good and absolutely massive, they were light and fluffy and had a bit of a lemon flavor, they also didn't have that typical diner taste of everything that's been on the grill before them. I would absolutely get these again.We also tried two different breakfast sandwiches. We were told the Gladdington is a favorite and we could see why- it was honestly a perfect breakfast sandwich. The eggs and bacon were done perfectly, and the Sriracha mayo and caramelized onions really kicked it up a notch. The Jam was also excellent and we liked that it was a little spicy, but it was hard to live up to how good the Gladdington was! Highly recommend adding on the potatoes as a side too, they were nice and crispy. Prices are super reasonable and the whole team was fun and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a visit (or at the very least some excellent donuts!).

If you're looking for a good ol' American breakfast that will leave your heart and tummy feeling full DK Diner is just the place. Every once in a while I crave a true diner experience with the pancakes, eggs, sausage, toast, the whole 9 yards. DK Diner checked off all those boxes for me. They have a cozy inside and now for the winter have an insulated outdoor seating area that heats up very well. We went an early Saturday morning and were seated instantly. I ordered the Teny breakfast and for just under $14 the price can't be beat. The plate was HUGE! I ended up needing some help from my boyfriend to finish it all. The breakfast brings a pancake the size of your face, two large sausage patties, 4 slices of toast, a healthy serving of potatoes, and 2 eggs your way. The food was great for the price. The pancake had a bit of an interesting flavor but wasn't bad by any means just definitely not the best. I did feel a little awkward at the self-serve drink station and would knock them down a little for that if you truly want to be fully served. Overall, it's a great place with great value and I will definitely come back and make sure to save space to try their coveted donuts!

YUM!!!! everyone told us to try this spot and how iconic it is to Columbus and they didn't disappoint. As well loved as it is there will likely be a wait when you walk in but it's worth the wait. Service is quick, the menu is loaded with deliciousness, and the self serve coffee and drink stations are perfect. This spot is so cozy! Parking is smaller but there is plenty of options just take that into account. We went with a group of 6 and all of us were so impressed and stuffed. I would definitely go back!

I have been looking for a good, classic diner in Columbus for a while now and this is exactly that! From the self serve coffee bar to the delicious pancakes made with their donut batter, this place truly has it all. When we arrived they told us there would be a bit of a wait, but we were seated within 5 minutes and had just finished pouring our coffees! We tried the blueberry pancakes, breakfast tacos, the jam, and a side of potatoes all the way. Everything we so yummy and hit the spot. The atmosphere both inside and outside really makes this place unique and I will 100% be coming back!! Also, not to mention, the donuts are delicious!!! I tried a traditional glazed, and it was the softest, pillowiest donut Ive ever tried. It's a must try.

So this used to be a Donut Shop that had late night breakfasts back in the day (way back, like late 1980's) and was a favorite spot in the Grandview Hts neighborhood of Columbus. Well, I was back in town for my daughter's travel softball tourney at Beekman Park on campus, and needed a place to meet up for breakfast with a couple of old friends & fraternity brothers. Thus we found DK Diner and I didn't recognize the place until halfway through Brunch! Awesome place and still owned by the same family. Great drink and food menu and don't get me started on the doughnut bar offerings! Fortunately for me, it was a calorie cheat day and I took full advantage!Highly recommend, the wait staff were friendly, quick and efficient! Were happy to explain their offerings and were patient with my stories! And the setting is comfortable and inviting, but eclectic and fun! Enjoy!

It was a nice place, but small in terms of seating capacity. They have inside seating and outdoor. Wait was not bad at all, about 15 minutes.First! All drinks are self served. Seriously. You got inside and thry have a coffee/tea bar and fridge with drinks. Just grab it after you order.Price is very reasonable and the pancakes are sooo good. I tried my husbands blueberry pancake that was made with their house donut batter. Highly recommend! BTW. The pancakes are HUGE!

A solid, no-frills diner. Seems to be a neighborhood favorite. Pretty busy at 9am on a weekday, but there were a few spots at the big central tables, and the bar seats were open. Some covered outdoor seating for overflow, but not in use today.Pretty casual, seems to be seat yourself, and I ordered from the chef. Biscuits and gravy, of course, for me, but there are lots of interesting options. All the usuals plus a few extra. Came up fast. The biscuits are homemade and unusual: square, fluffy, a little crispy on the edges. Perfect for gravy. Which comes in a huge bowl (by which I mean, a perfectly appropriate amount.) Doesn't seem to be homemade and the menu doesn't mention it, so probably canned, but a pretty decent version of that. Comes with meat or eggs (they have another item with all of the above.) I got bacon, and it was perfectly cooked. Drinks are a la carte from a cooler up front. Again, a pretty casual setup. Prices are very affordable. So, fast, good, cheap, and good service. I'd add a star if the gravy were homemade, but it was all pretty good.

DK is an old faithful and is the perfect place to come for post night shift breakfast because they have drinks.Came here with a large group (8 people) right when they opened which is tricky since it's a smaller space. They were very accommodating and didn't appear annoyed by our group. I got their new breakfast tacos without the bacon and they were super good! The salsa it comes with makes it 10x better. I also tried the French kiss (gin, grenadine, citrus drink) and it was strong on the citrus/gin front which I loved. Got a sour cream and blueberry donut to go. Their donuts are excellent. I preferred the blueberry one since the flavor is so prominent without being cloyingly sweet.

We love this restaurant! They have the best food and the prices are great. I recommend the doughnut batter hot cakes, and whatever else because it's all good.

Loved it! Great breakfast place. Had the home fries loaded. Was able to get a slice of French Toast instead of toast. The cinnamon in the batter made it great. I got an Apple Fritter to go but had to take a small bite. Delicious with lots of apple slices!! Will definitely go back when I'm in the area again
