Affordable, efficient and very tasty omelette with a biscuit. Frequent and welcome coffee refills

First impressions? Very good - a neighborhood diner. Two staffers greeted me when I arrived, both hustling to keep a full dining room humming. Good teamwork among the staff. I sat at the counter and ordered a patty melt w/side of coleslaw. The water and menu arrived promptly, as did my food. Price? $17 including tip. Unlike the greasy mess that is the typical patty melt, this one was dry. All the expected ingredients were present, but how did they manage to make it so dry. Frankly, I was craving a little bit of a mess, but no objections. The beef flavor was good. The cheese was fully melted. I do wish the onions were a bit more caramelized. I will admit to being intrigued by the pistachio cake. I almost ordered a slice, but that was too much green food dye for me. Will I return? Yes. read more

I stopped at this diner for a late breakfast on my way back to Columbus, and I'm really glad I did! The food was great, the service was excellent, and I hope to stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

I wanted to give 4.5 but that isn't an option. Found this little diner based off of a search and Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. We arrived at 11am on a Saturday and it was packed....people waiting outside. It was only a 15/20 min wait. This is a cute little diner with limited seating at tables and a few at the breakfast bar. Loved it bc it's a locally owned non-chain establishment. A ton of regular/locals dining in. The food was good, the coffee was flowing. We did wait a good bit for our food (over 30 mins). So if in a hurry may not be your place but if you wanted a meal that is home-cooked and not mass produced this is your spot. read more

What a fantastic find for breakfast! This is a type of diner you want to visit. It was rather nostalgic, counter dining, good food, great service! I ordered the two eggs over easy, hash browns, ham slice, rye toast & coffee black! If I were local to the area I would definitely make this a routine visit! read more

We had breakfast at Debbie's for the first time this morning. My husband had steak and eggs and I had biscuits and gravy. Both of our meals were excellent, and the staff were so friendly! We will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful find! We ate breakfast and bill was under $20! Wonderful service and it's a no frills small place but great food! Recommend!

Excellent food, service and value every time I eat at Debbie's! A great and friendly experience every time!

Debbie's is a great locally owned, mom and pop place. It is a super basic place with a simple menu. It's our go to when we want something quick, and not too expensive. We've been for both lunch and breakfast and have never been disappointed. Make sure you check out the specials too! I really like the pork chop and eggs, or corned beef hash breakfast. I've never had my over easy egg be sort of blackened there, which I appreciate. At lunch I had the hot shot, which was also super tasty, although I might ask for the gravy on the side for the potatoes next time, or maybe have them use the turkey gravy instead of the beef. I think the beef gravy is the only thing I don't really like there. The servers keep my coffee cup filled, which seems to be a dying art these days. I am super excited to check out the updates to the dining room, the pictures look great on their Facebook page. It's always been a sort of no frills kind of place, which is part of the charm--but a little refresh is always nice to see. You can always check their Facebook for the daily specials. I've hear their cabbage rolls are excellent! I'm keeping my eye out for the next time they have chicken and dumplings though. read more

I found this place on Yelp, never been here before, and reviews were all good, so gave it a try....What a delightful local diner...mostly locals. They had remodeled a bit, so the outside side was missing, walked in and said " is this Debbie's? The crowd inside all laughed and said yes, they clearly knew I wasn't from around here. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. They specialized in biscuits and gravy, I'm not really a fan of that, but got it anyway, it was good, but not a favorite..the hash browns were great..the bacon was the best I've had in a long time. Eggs cooked perfect. Pie for dessert, very good, selection was limited due to earlier sales. I'll be back. read more

Wanted try something new - the reviews were great so we gave Debbie's a try, glad we did! The food ( eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage gravy and biscuits, French toast) was delicious. The staff was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed for our breakfast and our drinks were refilled without having to ask. Will go back! read more

This restaurant was near to the National Air Force Museum so it was quick after our time at the museum. A kind gentleman moved so the six of us could sit together. It was so crowded. The wait staff took out order quickly and it didn't take long for our food to come. Everything appears homemade and tasty. The beef in the hoagie was tender and very good. The broccoli was good, but the cheese was salty and fake. read more

I have eaten here several times and the breakfast never disappoints. My favorite is the Debbie Combo Omelette with hash browns and biscuit. I also really enjoy the breakfast gravy. I have yet to try the lunch menu because breakfast is served all day and it's absolutely delicious. I plan on trying out the other menu items soon. As I WILL be returning again and again. Something to note though is that it's usually pretty busy and the food is always hot and fresh so be prepared to have your patience pants on and wait a little bit. However the servers are also very good and always smiling and friendly. read more

We ate breakfast here on our way to the airport. It's a local neighborhood type of place that serves budget friendly, good food with a smile. It seemed that many of the patrons frequented this place often and I can understand why. I had the Debbie's combo omelette. It was good and very reasonably priced. Give this one a shot if 'fancy' isn't one of your requisites. read more

I went to Debbie's Restaurant for the first time yesterday on the advice of a good friend. They have a really decent menu. The prices on the menu are very reasonable. I met the waitress Kelly and the first she did was to apology about the table not being clean and wiped it immediately. I think it was clean already but she felt the need to make sure everything was very clean. She took my drink order and had it out to me fast. Kelly presented herself very well. Her movement was non-stop taking care of the customer's needs. I mean NONSTOP! I had a burger and fry combo with iced tea. They dressed the burger perfectly and all tasted good. The staff seems to like being there to give customers good food and service. I'll make that a new habit to go there. Thanks Debby's and especially Kelly! read more

Small, clean and friendly mom & pop diner. Still has affordable prices and good food. I do prefer when the older lady cooks vs the guy. Her omelets taste better. The biscuits and gravy are good as is the coffee. Wish had more places like this. I would eat here more often if it wasn't a thirty minute drive. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Good food and service. No complaints. I would definitely go back.

Across the street from a virtual 24 hour a day drinking hole. The area of town will make some squeamish. Low quality ingredients at low prices. Definitely will see lots of local color read more

Kelly, our server, was excellent and the food was delicious, definitely something for everyone. I love diners, and this fits the bill perfectly, very cute place and a great atmosphere! I'll definitely be back! read more

was very nice place until I pulled a long thin grey hair out of my mouth and they changed me full price for my food then told it looked like my hair and I have thick brown hair then gave me a 4 dollar discount and changed me for the gravy over my eggs I think that should been on the original bill. I will never waste my money at this place the owner just looked at me like what you want me to do very sweet lady but you should have said something to your rude waitress read more

Good breakfast fast, great service. Debbie's is the ultimate greasy spoon restaurant and I mean that in the most positive way

Quick service, great food, nice atmosphere. Very nice behind the counter waitress. I would definetly go back.

Place a small been remodeled so very clean. The food and service was very good. It's been around for a pretty long time.

Discovered this little hidden gem while looking for an alternative to my standard go-to breakfast stops. The food is really good and served with a side of down-home hospitality. Maggie made me feel right at home as soon as I stepped through the door. A quaint set-up, but big on smiles feom everyone that works there. Quick service and lots of re-pours. Do yourself and your family a favor, come through, and feed your soul with some great grub! read more

This place is a real gem. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was hot and delicious, and came out fast. The eating area is not very big, so big groups might be an issue, but this is a great place for breakfast/ brunch. I had over medium eggs, sausage, and home fries. All excellent, but the home fries are a must order. read more

If you like "hole in the walls", this is your place! Simple inexpensive food, good service and a local place ambience. The 15 varieties of pies sell out before they go stale! read more

Fantastic experience. The three women working the restaurant were friendly, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere was welcoming and clean. Coziness of the place made us feel like we were sharing a meal with the other customers; not in a cramped, intrusive way, but in a communal, relaxed way. The food was good and arrived promptly. I had the chili, which was tasty, but a little cool and watery; this is the only thing that kept my rating from being 5 stars. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Wright-Pat or in the area for any reason. read more

Fast and friendly service, good food, darling cafe. Glad we stopped! Wide variety of options to choose from.

Tried Debbie's Restaurant today for the first time and was definitely not disappointed, the place had a nice cozy homey feel to it you were welcomed with a warm hello, the place was clean. The service was fantastic the waitress was very friendly came by once and asked if we were ready and we said we needed a few minutes and then she came back in a few minutes wasn't pushy wasn't rushing us at all, it was a good feeling . Well we ordered the wife ordered two eggs French toast bacon and home fries and I ordered Debbie's special with rye toast and a side of home fries everything was really good cooked well, the only thing I could say that needed improvement on was that the home fries need to be cooked with onion other than that everything was just great. So if your ever wanting a good breakfast give Debbie's Restaurant a try. read more

Classic, small diner! Simple food and interior. You get what you order and it's cooked well. Omelet, BLT, fries, fried cauliflower, and biscuits and gravy were all very good. Pancakes were sweet and yummy. Price is great and beyond reasonable. Everyone was super friendly and it felt like a place you would go back to every Sunday for breakfast. Would easily go back again. read more

Highly recommend. I called ahead for a reservation which they don't do. However I told them I had 12 people and they said if I arrive before 10am they would hold the tables for me. They did! It shortly became packed. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was just a hole in the wall, didn't even have a traditional sign, but aren't those the best. read more

When I was in college I had a broad set of friends from all parts of the country, then later in the Army that continued. Going to Debbie's in Dayton (in town for Mother-In-Laws memorial service at Wright State) was very much like going with your white friend to his grandma's house. The general area is a bit worse for wear, you ride by some things that need some serious TLC. You get to her place and it's a little island of clean, quaint, complete with eclectic decoration, domesticity. The food is simple, clean, freshly made. There is no cooking show spice cart in play here, there is a little bit of salt and the tiniest hint of pepper (as if it is the precious spice of Dune fame). That fits this location perfectly, it is what you should expect and what you get. If we are in the area again we will come back. We got in early, while we were eating the rest of the town came over. That sweet, hero server (don't know if that was The Debbie) just weathered the storm like a pro. "Weeds...what weeds"! Added: Kudos on the one page menu Debbies. If only more places would define some core capabilities and stick to it. Think BBQ place with Chicken ranch salad...really? Why? read more
