    Hoosier Pork Tenderloin Breakfast, Gravy on the side
    Jp B.

    Nice breakfast at Delaney's. Got it at 1pm on a weekday. Quite a few customers, but not too crowded. I got the Hoosier Pork Tenderloin breakfast. The tenderloin is huge and tender, deep fried and cooked just right. My eggs were perfect, cooked as I asked. My biscuit was good, a little crispier would have made it great. The hash browns were very good, cooked well. The sausage gravy tasted a little chemically to me. I'm glad I got it on the side. My server was professional, attentive, and polite. I'd come back.

    Everything you want in a locally owned diner! Family friendly and great value for the price. Also, the food is awesome! Love that they offer ghost pepper cheese too! Highly suggest the Indy 500 for your first trip.

    Love this place! All locations are great! Great service friendly servers fast service The music is pretty great they play a mix of music to satisfy EVERYONE. Since its winter time they have an extra covered interface so you're not blasted with cold are when people come in the door. Nice touch.

    Walking into Delaney's it's very clean and the staff and the atmosphere is very inviting. Our server Michelle was prompt and quick on the refills. I had the corn beef hash eggs over easy with rye toast, a diner classic corn beef made in house, they nailed it. My wife had the Country Biscuit Breakfast very good really liked the shredded hash browns. They have nice portfolio of restaurants around Columbus, hopefully they expand to other parts of Ohio.

    They are literally my favorite breakfast spot in Columbus. Breakfast food is not my thing but somehow Delaney's has the magic Touch: best waiters, super clean space and top notch chefs. Columbus, please never take this spot away because I need it everyday when I fly in town to visit family. I sound like I'm joking but I'm so serious lol. My favorite is their steel cut oatmeal. Many ppl can't make this easy dish the right way but Delaney's can and I love yall for that.

    12 French Fries and soggy bread NOT toast
    Teddy E.

    Bummer...was looking forward to lunch yesterday but we had to order To-Go. I think if we had eaten there it may have been better BUT...I ordered a CLUB Sandwich with Fries . I ask for white bread toasted. What I got was white bread with a few lines on it but still very much Bread, soft and soaked in Mayo. Then when I look there were on 12 French Fries. So I called them to let them know I was not very happy the bread was not toasted at all and WHT is up with 12 French Fries for $14.00 I expected more out this place . She said they are Weighing out portions of potato's effective least week and thats how it is now. Thats the reason for 2 stars. My Breakfast here has always been very good but Lunch seemed a little still for what you get.

    2 eggs, 2 sausage patties, and 2 pancakes. Plenty of syrup as well.

    Arrived at 11:45 and the place was full. It's obvious this is a very popular place. There are two separate large rooms. The booths line the wall and tables down the center. All 16 paintings say "cafe" "food " or "diner" The floors did need a good sweeping as there was food underneath some of the tables. This makes me believe they are short staffed. The staff is friendly greeting me when I walked in. I only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. I am deaf and I met my server who is hard of hearing. She told me she wanted to learn sign language. So I told her that I teach ASL classes. I ordered the Delaney special which consisted of 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, and sausage. The sausage was a bit salty but not a game changer. The French toast was excellent! This is a great place for breakfast. They don't rush you like most places. You're a person here, not a number. Thanks for the great service and delicious breakfast. Keep smiling and we'll keep coming back.

I visited for breakfast/brunch in late December 2025 with a college friend and her son. The restaurant was busy when we arrived so we had to wait for about 10 mins for a table. We received our food in about 20 mins after they were ordered. The waiter brought us glasses of water and I may have ordered orange juice too. I ordered the pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. The pancakes were topped with some butter and ai added syrup too. They tasted fluffy and delicious. The scrambled eggs and bacon were well cooked and tasted good. My friend's son ordered a breakfast sandwich and my friend ordered the eggs benedict. They seemed to both like what they got.

He was my server on a previous visit and had the same poor attitude then, so unfortunately today's experience was not surprising. Hospitality and customer service matter, especially in the restaurant industry, and a tip is not automatically given it's earned through good service and professionalism. Today, we went in and the man working the bar was once again rude and unwelcoming. When you ask for something, there's no "yes," "no problem," or even basic communication -- just a look. My son ordered a side of bacon with his meal, and they only brought one slice. We asked twice for the second slice and still never received it. At no point did he apologize, acknowledge the mistake, or communicate with us professionally. He eventually removed it from the bill, but the issue was never really the bacon it was the attitude and complete lack of hospitality. The food here is honestly good, which is why I've continued to come back. However, experiences like this make the environment feel uncomfortable and uninviting. I would probably visit much more often if the staff were friendlier, more attentive, and actually made customers feel welcome.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.
