Lois Mann's Restaurant

what a great place!!! Lois is called the "Mother of the South End" for a reason. she and her employees are about the most amazing people to be around. our coffee group from summit chase went there on one of our outings, and i was amazed that i haven't ate there before. it used to be a laundromat, then a pizza place and now a delicious place to grab a bite to eat. BRING CASH...No Plastic is accepted!! tastefully decorated year round in christmas, it was featured on Phil and Myron's breakfast of Columbus (they go around taking breakfasts in different places around columbus and give a report of what they found on their Facebook pages. there were presents around each tree in the restaurant, and they were to be given to the local community and to patrons the week of christmas....cannot wait to come here again!!

I wanted to update my review with a few more pictures. The food was served quickly and it was once again tasty. The prices were great. There are several things on the menu that I want to try on my next visit. Love the Christmas decorations! Our waitress was attentive to our needs. I will be back!

Sweetie was a little leery walking up, because of the neighborhood, but it's a nice little building- and once you get inside the decor is cool. Not really my thing, but Christmassy without being crazy, plus guitars and photos of bluegrass musicians. Nothing fancy, very cozy.There's a lunch menu, but we went with breakfast standards. She got pancakes and bacon. Big fluffy pancakes; I had a bite, very good. Great bacon. I had the #5, biscuits and gravy plus eggs and hash browns. Big portion, eggs cooked to the medium I asked for, which is rare (no, not medium rare... never mind.) Lots of tasty potatoes. A huge, square, light biscuit. Perfect. The sausage gravy was pretty good. Might be from a can, but it's good canned stuff then. Service was great. Friendly, fast, helpful. Prices are really good. Cash only- glad I had enough, but the bill wasn't high. Definitely coming back.

Best place in town for a delicious inexpensive breakfast or sandwich! Once you enter, it's Christmas time again! All year long! Friendly employees and wonderful atmosphere! I had the two eggs, biscuits and gravy and hash browns! So good!

Great food quick serviceGreat prices!Quirky atmosphere Interesting locationLois Mann is a great person

Decided to go off the beaten path this morning. Went to Lois Mann's on High Street. They have been at this location for 11 years and 40+ years at their previous location. My waitress was Julie, very good waitress that checked on me numerous times. Ordered a #5- 2 Eggs, hash browns and biscuit and gravy. The eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, the hash browns were made with skin on potatoes that had a phenomenal deep potato flavor. Could have just ordered a plate of them. On to the star of the show, you get this huge biscuit, perfect texture, split it open and pour a huge bowl of gravy on it. Gravy was made with a nice sausage. Yummmy!!! All this for $6.95. Cheap and delicious food is a major plus. On to what everyone talks about, the decor. Place is one big Christmas Decoration. And quite the collection of guitars all over the place. I will definitely have to come back for the lunch menu sometime. Everyone needs to check this place out, especially if you have kids.

Seen this little Christmas cafe on Fox 28 morning news with Cameron Fontana . So my Wife and I went today to see what it was about. The outside of the building needs some work but don't let that stop you. Inside is beautiful with wall to wall Christmas tree's and decorations. It's an old school no frill cafe. The menu is limited. We had breakfast. My wife had 2 eggs,home fries and toast. Price was $3.95 and I had cheese omelet with home fries and toast at $11.99. Coffee was 1.95 with free refills. Everything was perfectly done. Coffee was excellent. They were quite busy but very friendly and efficient to say the least. As a bonus there was a live folk band playing. We will definitely go back!

Delicious food. Friendly service. Don't be scared by the exterior condition of the building. The explosion of Christmas decorations and lights are super fun. Be advised that this is a CASH ONLY BUSINESS. NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED. Hit the ATM and try this place. Be sure to check the operating hours before you go.

LOIS HAS OWNED AND OPERATED A RESTURAUNT IN SOUTH COLUMBUS FOREVER.I remember an 8 stool hole in the wall on Parsons. Same smiles from Lois same good food. If you like good old diner and not corporate put in microwave and heat down home food. Lois is a must. Never saw somebody as happy as Lois always is.

Good fast service. Kay was amazing! Would go back! Thank you for the information on your food.
