Picket Fence Cafe

The service was fast and friendly, the food was good and came out quick! Can't get much better than that!

This was a good brunch for the cost--2 people for a $20 tab and we had plenty of food! The food wasn't anything amazing, but got the job done. I wish it had been served hotter but was more warm when it arrived at the table. The gravy was a bit congealed but tasted good. The chicken fried steak itself was good and would have been great if piping hot.The pancakes were standard/good. Sausage wasn't my favorite--I think it wasn't seasoned quite as much as what I'm used to.Overall a quick and easy place to get a meal, but nothing spectacular.Service was great!

This place is amazing. Just as you would picture. They are small town, friendly people with great food and good prices. The food is definitely cooked to order and comes out fresh. Taste like a home cooked meal without all the stress. I did take pictures, but of course it was at the end. I would highly recommend for a brunch or breakfast place. Very family friendly

The picket fence cafe has been a staple of Columbus for as long as I can remember.Every one of the employees is super sweet and nice - on top of being quick and helpful!Food was out fast, piping hot and delicious!

Had a group of twelve go to this restaurant for brunch on August 13th, 2022. Not overly busy, took well over an hour to get the food we ordered because we learned that our food was given to another table. One lady in our group got her food after most of us were done. When we asked for her to get a discount because of this mistake, the discount was .98 cents. With three young lady employees working in this room, it seemed like it took an act of congress to get coffee cups refilled. When they did finally bring a pot, it was full of grounds so much, that a member of our group just got up and went on her own, go get a different clean cup. Overall service was terrible and it seemed like the employees did care much.

It's been a while since we'd visited, but went back and discovered they ripped out the ATM and are accepting credit cards again.Food is still pretty good; typical small town diner food, heavy on breakfast items.

Great little small town cafe. The food is good and service is great. I will eat here next time I'm in town for sure

unfortunately I found a hair embedded in my eggs towards the end of my meal I had thought it was just a string of egg, until I got down to it.our server was greatit was busy but everyone in the restaurant stayed to themselves

My last visit to the picket fence was very disappointing. I called to see if they were very busy and was told they were not busy at all. When we arrived there were plenty of open tables so the four of us sat down. This particular visit there were plenty of employees working, the young lady took our order and we waited. And waited (about 40 minutes). When the waitress finally showed back up on our side of the restaurant I asked if she could check on our food. She gave us the standard answer "it should be right up". When the food showed up some of it was over cooked & some of it undercooked and warm at best. And she never came back to check on us to see how our food was or if we needed anything. After we had enough of our breakfast I had to go find her to get our check. The last 4 or 5 visits this place was hit & miss. I've decided to spend my money somewhere else!

Don't eat here. So highly over priced and not all that great to begin with. Small cafe, downtown, Saturday night, ten tables. One server. One cook. Took forever. Pepsi products, their website says coke products. Water tastes nasty. When ordering drinks I always order the kids food so it comes out right away, like an appetizer would. Was told I'd have to wait for another table to order first before I could order the kids food because that table was here first. Ugh what. Kids chicken strips. $5.25. Didn't look at it too closely (my fault) but it comes with chips. Not a single serve bag of chips, but a handful of potato chips. Fries cost an extra $2. On a kids meal. Drink also not included. The kid knew it came with a pickle and when there wasn't one we asked. We're told that they don't get one so we showed her the menu and she stated the kitchen uses a different menu. =/ we ended up getting the kid a pickle. 25-30 minute wait for food seemed like forever. Eggs were fine, grilled chicken was fine, onion rings were good, French dip was dry and just underwhelming. All sandwiches served with chips. Fries, tots, onion rings are $2++ extra. $50 later. I will not go here again.
