Don't sleep on this place. It's so good. I know it's deep on the south side but the food is worth it. Eyes are cooked perfectly, and they have things one wouldn't expect-like gyros. Things to note: not good for large parties- no room. This is a true corner diner. Come in and sit down. Time moves a bit differently here. No fryer so no fries-sandwiches served with chips instead. DOUGHNUTS-cheap and great deals after 1pm because they closee at 3. Not open Sundays. But EAT HERE!!!!

This is definitely a neighborhood greasy spoon diner. We were there after noon and there were only a few donuts left in the display case. I ordered my favorite custard filled donut which was tasty but not freshly made. My husband ordered an egg sandwich. Very quick service and our waitress was friendly! Old school diner stools, counter, and booths. Not much in the way of ambiance but an inexpensive meal. Older record albums grace the walls.

Classic old diner vibes. I went on a Friday morning @ 8:30, and the donut selections where already somewhat picked over; note to self for future planned stops. Of the bat, Pete the owner and a women where running front of house. I love places where the owner is pulling their weight and not chillaxing on the side. I sat at the counter with old-school padded stool seating bolted to the floor, a feature that's definitely hard to find in central Ohio these days. I got the Veggie Omelette, added sausage. For $10.80, the meal was spot on. The hash browns were surprisingly good. I didn't have to add much salt at all, a big plus. Soft, a few random crisp edges, just the way I like 'em. I couldn't leave without getting a donut or two to try. The Apple fritter was okay; no apple taste or chunks which was a bummer. Donut holes were on the dry side. Next time, either I get there a few hours earlier, or pass on the donuts altogether. Super glad I finally made it to GDD. Definitely a no-frills classic stop to keep in my bookmarks!

I really liked the atmosphere here, but I think they need to do something to make the surroundings pop. Everything is so old and faded. Shame.I got the patty melt. You know that mystery meat they served you in school? That's what you get here. I could not stomach it so I got tomato grilled cheese instead and sent back the burger. I don't know how but they messed that up too. See the photos.And, finally, the waitress was really sweet and kind but I just could not understand her. I don't think she speaks much English, poor thing.I won't be back. I wish them a better chef and higher quality inventory.

I think I was here years- decades- ago when it was a different donut place. Looks the same. Smells the same. Sadly, at 1pm the donuts were almost all gone, so I didn't get any. But I will be back. Old-school donut shops are my favorite.Plus, it's a diner. Plus, it now has hibachi. Which I did try but will review under its name. Get here. Three kinds of good food. In an old sit-down donut shop atmosphere.

This place is a gem. I decided to try it based on Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The staff is very friendly and accommodation. The regulars are a hoot if you're into getting the local flavor of places as part of the experience. The food was good and prepared quickly. No complaints at all. Also, I noticed a ton of Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers coming to pick up orders. Clearly, this place has a following and after one meal, I can see why it's a favorite.

Perfect breakfast place which is tasty and very reasonably priced. I ordered the Denver omelette and hash browns.The omelette was huge and the homemade hash browns were tasty. It came with two slices of toast.Place used to be a Jolly Pirate Donut Shop so seating is limited but they do have counter service and booths!

Second time coming in and I'll say I'm a fan of this little local spot close to home. First time I dined in and it was your run of the mill local breakfast spot where everyone who was in the know knew to order carry out. It's a small location with a few staff, do yourself a favor and order carry out. But if you don't mind the wait dine in and relax! Pro tip, park on the sides because the front gets congested with people in and out. While I'll be honest I don't quite remember what I had, I knew it was definitely somewhere I wanted to come back to. My second trip I called in my order like a boss, and had EXCELLENT customer service while ordering, super friendly and left nothing to be confused over. Ordered a Club that comes with chips. 15 mins later I opened the box and from the smell alone I knew that is was exactly what I was looking for! Even in the few moments of being inside I hammed it up with the woman ringing me out and another patron like I'm there all the time. Also do yourself a favor and grab a donut... because well... why not?!

Well, well, well! What a find on the outskirts of Columbus! Super friendly staff that welcomed us as new guests w a warm smile! The food was excellent and we only wished we had more room to try more items! You would drive by it 100 times and not stop, well STOP IN! The music is outstanding also!

Ordered French toast, home fries & bacon on the side. Upon arrival, I gave the woman at the front desk my order name. She gave me a hard time, telling me to show her identification for the order. I would've obliged, but I didn't have my ID! didn't expect to be carded while picking up food. She ended up giving me my order after some explanation. French toast, bacon & Eggs were great. Home fries were just smushed potatoes and they weren't seasoned. Cool vintage diner ambiance.
