Well lemme tell you, a metric ton, on both sides of the bread. And surprisingly no pesto. There was a mayo goo with what looked like chopped spinach pieces in it, but definitely not pesto. I'm not a picky person but this was inedible. On a happier note, the tots were delicious! No ketchup to dip them in but hey, what can ya do? For $15, go to a food truck on high street. This was putrid.

The thing about Cafe Overlook is, for many, it's just an elevator ride away, when the other options…read morerequire just slightly more effort. Perhaps due to my own lack of planning or the weather, I find myself ordering here a little too often for work lunches. The salad bar is decent and easily the best part of the food selection. I like the house made ranch dressing, despite the few chance encounters I've had with a gentleman that seems to enjoy telling people that there are packets of ranch and that he doesn't like the spiciness of the ranch they make. Perhaps because I make unhealthy choices, I can't bring myself to compile a truly affordable and fairly tasty salad very often. The other menu items have worn on me and leave me wanting for variety. Despite my want for variety, I tend to stick with familiar tastes because only a few things even sound appealing when I order. Frankly, though, the thought of having another side of tots makes my stomach turn a little. I tried to branch out and order the grain bowl a while back and was reminded why I stick with the familiar. The pre-prepared foods always taste a little off. The premade breakfast sandwich eggs don't taste like eggs. The pizza on Fridays is bleh. The straw that broke the camel's back, a cinnamon roll sitting in front of me as I write this, that just does not taste good. An outside vendor bought a rice crispy treat and threw it away after two bites. On one hand, being perfectly honest, for a work cafe it's....the only one I've ever eaten at (unless you count the Ben Franklin Cafe a different place) ....and I guess it's providing food for its captive audience. On the other hand, I wish the pre-made food tasted better, I wish there was more variety or maybe a bigger selection of rotating items on the menu. TLDR: If you're here for jury duty, you'll be ok for a day or two eating here. If you work in the tower or complex, you already know.

We left out of there smelling like hot old grease we will definitely never go back. We were trying to support something small and local. Do not waste your money or your time. Bad service bad food.

This family owned restaurant has been around for 40 years, so there is a lot of history represented here. When we walked in, we were the only people in the place, so service was quick. We spent a fair amount of time talking to the owner, who was very friendly and willing to share his family's story with us. I loved that the cook (also family I'm sure, but I didn't ask) was at the grill, which was in full view of our table. It was like watching my mother cook when I was a kid, and it tasted the same way. Our Buckeye Brutus Breakfasts were hot and delicious. Nothing fancy, but that's what was so great about it. A classic breakfast that totally hit the spot. When we were done, the owner offered us to go coffees for the ride home, which was very much appreciated since we were driving back to Wisconsin. This is a great place to stop for a no frills, amazing, home cooked breakfast. Friendly service, relaxing vibe, and a place where it's easy to feel like family.

Like the space always clean, good area to work, great sunlight and background music. Reviewing a recent visit. Egg sandwich- 3.5/5. It was interesting. The sauce was like a hot sauce (I liked the spice) but it oddly reminded me of a buffalo chicken egg sandwich because of it. All the elements were done well... great foccacia, juicy/fluffy egg. I just enjoy the flavor enough to order again. Chai tea wt honey- 4/5 solid tea. Only negative was the Temperature, it was warm vs hot, but the flavor was delicious. Not a huge fan of the smoothies, but the coffee and teas are typically good. It was my first time getting food. Local staple will defintely return.

The atmosphere was so peaceful that we completely lost track of time. I ordered the Cowboy Burrito, and hours later I'm still full. It was hearty without feeling overly heavy. The eggs were fluffy, the potato latkes added a nice texture, and the zesty cashew sauce pulled all the flavors together. I also ordered the strawberry matcha and asked if they could add vanilla. They were happy to customize it, and it was absolutely worth it. The strawberry and vanilla combination made it smooth, sweet, and refreshing. Before I left, I grabbed an iced Banana Bread Latte with oat milk and asked for it without ice so I could enjoy it the next day. It genuinely tasted like banana bread in a cup--the banana and cinnamon flavors came through perfectly. Great food, creative drinks, friendly staff, and such a relaxing vibe. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy good conversation, and not feel rushed. I'll definitely be back.

Every item on the menu was certainly written with intention - and it showed in how flavor packed our food was. I had ordered my salad without raisins, and when I received it and it had them, the kitchen was very accommodating in making me a new one. It came out even faster than the first time I had ordered. We went late afternoon on a Sunday, and did not have a long wait time to order or difficulty in finding seating. Peaceful indoor and outdoor seating offered (first come first served) with parking along Grandview Ave. I would definitely recommend this spot if you have any dietary restrictions, or are just looking for some truly creative food that will leave you feeling good after!

This time I ordered the Sloppy Joe and the Chili Dog again. This time I got Baked Beans and Greens for sides. He deep fries the Hot Dog and then grills it and adds the sloppy Joe mix on top.

Now on to the star of the show which was the Greens. They had a slight bite to them, so tasty with a bit of pork thrown in for extra goodness. This is the type of small business we have to support. Making great food with homemade goodness. Check them out, no disappointment here.

All of the items on the menu looked appealing to me, but the menu needs work. It has items on it without any description of the items. For example, my turkey sub had banana peppers on them. I like banana peppers, but I know a lot of people who don't and can see that being an issue. I ordered online through the business DoorDash partnership, which created a cold interaction with the person working there. He kept telling me to show him that I accepted the order on DoorDash, and asked if it was my first day since I couldn't find the button. I then told him that I ordered the food for myself and his demeanor changed completely and was extremely nice and gave me the order. I have heard of DoorDash people scamming businesses so I understand his caution, but it could have been handled better. It would probably be best if he just asked if it's a carry-out or a DoorDash order. The inside is essentially just a giant kitchen and counter, so carry-out is also the only option. I ordered a turkey sub, coney, and a side of coleslaw. The order was completed in 9 minutes, so keep that in mind if you have a far drive. The food was very good. Probably one of the best conies I have had. It was all very warm and flavorful and had the right balance of everything. If I'm in the area I'd like to try more of their menu.

Looks like a 1950's style diner on the outside (and inside too!). Also resembles a river side or lake side diner on the inside. Portside is old school - but that is a positive in every way. Great menu and great food. We stopped for breakfast and totally enjoyed it. For us, we did Eggs, Home Fries (Potatoes), and Toast which sounds easy but as you know - people mess it up. Not here, the amazing staff was super friendly, and working hard. The food came out fast and hot. Tasted great. We are looking forward to returning when we are back in area for lunch or dinner. PS - we also bought a homemade Coconut Creme Pie to take to our family visit and it was a hit. Fresh and tasted great. Wish we had more places like this in Northern Columbus.
