Stayed in an Airbnb around the corner and decided to give this spot a try. Easy to find--small parking lot so we used street parking. Wasn't very busy so we went inside, sat ourselves at a "clean" table as the sign instructed. The table was clean but honestly--nothing else looked like it had been cleaned in a hot minute in this place. We were greeted right away and the server advised us of the drink station that is self serve and that she would be back to take our order. I got myself a cold brew coffee ($2.99) and hubby got a Gatorade ($3.29!!). I ordered the Jackie O (mushroom, Swiss, spinach and onion omelette) it came with hash-browns (shredded) or home fries (cubed)--I got the hash-browns and white toast. Neither of us ate the white toast but if you eat toast they looked toasted correctly. The hash browns were okay but soggier than I would like. Wish they were more crispy. The omelette was very good--had a good amount of filling. The bacon was good and crispy. Hubby really enjoyed his donut sandwich. It was certainly sticky but the flavor was great and he was pleased and said he would order it again if we somehow ended up here again... read more

Service: When arriving, I was approached by a waitress who allowed me to choose where to sit, I chose the covered patio. I then ordered my food and everything came out exactly as ordered. Only strange thing was that you must get your own drinks and refills, I was surprised by this, but actually enjoyed not having to wait for a refill. 5 stars Food: I ordered Eggs, bacon, pancakes, French toast, and donuts and they were all delicious. The donuts don't look special, but wow they're were good. 5 stars. Ambiance: This location is perfect for brunch with friends, family, and even a first date. Not too loud or to quiet. I wouldn't suggest bringing groups larger than 6 people. 5 stars. Parking: The parking lot here is very small, I can imagine it getting full, but fortunately I drove my BMW suv today instead of my truck, so parking was a breeze. 4 stars. Conclusion: This place is a hidden gem. The food was excellent. I will definitely be back. The only thing that could make this place better would be if it was on a Mexican beach. read more

Delicious food, got one of their brunch sandwiches and it did not disappoint! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

Donuts A1, breakfast A1, love the busy family feel of DK. The service is always warm and they Don't disappoint to inform you of the wait or where you could sit. Bring your friends, family, kids, mom and dad. It's a good ol' time. Rather you're sitting down or picking up read more

Great food and great environment. Love coming here; this is such a great local spot. Only downside is that it takes a good hour for a table on a weekend (but then again it's the weekend!). Great place to just grab donuts and coffee too. read more

Had the Grilled Cheese breakfast sandwich it was good. My fiancé had the Sandy Donut. It was also very good too.

I think I've been on a donut kick lately, so in keeping with the theme, had a weekday breakfast at the DK diner for my birthday. There is plenty of street parking behind and you enter through the patio. In the last year or so, they have enclosed two patios, so you kind of have to weave your way through to the entrance. My friend grabbed a table and we served ourselves coffee and water. I picked up some extra napkins from the coffee station, which was good because there weren't extras at the table. While we were debating the menu, our server asked if we wanted a donut "appetizer" and yes, we did! One apple fritter and a Long John, please. The fritter was great, decent chucks of apple and not too dense. We had a round of mimosas due to the occasion. Nothing too exciting, just cute little mimosas with blueberries on a stick, which was fun! For breakfast, I had an egg and cheese sandwich, but the real star was the side of loaded home fries. These fabulous little potatoes came with peppers, onions, and a blanket of real cheese on top. So good! (Personal preference here, but home fries over hash browns unless I'm at the Waffle House). Another round of donuts for the road - another long John and a blueberry cake. The Long John made me think of my grandfather, who got fired from the donut shop for putting in too much filling. They just cut the thing in half and layered the good stuff on. Win. read more

I would rate the food 5 stars but the place is the ugliest dirtiest filth pit I have ever seen. Windows smeared with who knows what. Floors filthy booth walls encrusted with crud. Very disrespectful to customers to expect them to eat in there. Spend some money they make to improve your brand! I don't want to hear that the customers love the ambiance ....if you clean it they will love it more. The outside ramshackle tents for additional seating are just as horrible as the inside. I cannot believe that the health dept doesn't close thier doors. Too bad my pot roast sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. read more

After several attempts to get a table at the very popular DK Diner, I FINALLY got a spot for brunch and it did not disappoint! It's your quintessential, cozy neighborhood diner. Everything on the menu looked incredible, so of course we had to order a nice spread of food. The Gladdington was big and super tasty - I loved the spicy mayo. The hashbrowns came out perfectly crispy, I definitely want to try them loaded next time! The pancake was huge, thick, and fluffy. It had a lemony taste which was unexpected, but great. Everything seriouslyyyy hit the spot - I know I'll be wanting to come back ASAP. The prices were very reasonable, too! Can't wait to try more dishes next time. Seriously recommend coming here! read more

Very interesting experience! We walked into this cute little diner not knowing what to expect. It honestly looks like a little run down diner, but I think that's what makes it so great! We were able to seat ourselves and immediately checked out the menus that were located on the table. This place has SO many options! We were a little confused when we sat down because nobody came to greet us. Finally, one of the girls looked at us and said "drinks are self serve" and pointed to the left side of the restaurant. They had plenty of coffee options, soft drinks, and a fridge with juices, water, energy drinks. We also had to hunt down silverware because our table did not have any. I think this little diner gets so busy and the focus is getting food out fresh to the tables, which I can appreciate! I decided to order the "Teny" Lil Breakfast and holy cow... so much food! You get two eggs, potatoes, breakfast meat, toast, and a pancake (or French toast). Be prepared for leftovers! I decided to try the pancake because they advertise their donut batter pancakes! They definitely have a sweet taste to them and are absolutely delicious! My wife ordered the DK All The Way and loved it! She's a sausage gravy snob... it takes a lot to impress her. The biscuits, followed by over easy eggs, followed by sausage gravy were nothing short of delicious! This plate is also huge! There is a patio outside with a full service bar. They advertise happy hour and have a bunch of different breakfast shots on their menu! There is also an area inside where you can buy donuts. By the time we arrived, a majority of them were gone. They are made fresh daily and there are a lot of options, including seasonal options. We will definitely be back to check out some of their different meals and drinks! read more

DK Diner is a Columbus institution. If you go on a weekend, be prepared to wait, but that's not a bad thing. While you wait, grab a donut (one of the best in Columbus) and a coffee and take the time to explore the area. The breakfast burrito amazing! It has a great mix of flavors, and it's great for a whole meal or to split. I also really enjoy the pancakes. The restaurant itself is a little chaotic, but that's not a negative. It has a great old time diner feel. read more

DK Diner's igloo was a fun experience but you'll definitely need to take a group of 6-8 people (we only had 5) and you'll need to order cocktails because their is a monetary minimum with your reservation which was very hard for the five of us to achieve even with drinks. Food was good. Menu consists of items to share: donut tower - soooo good, charcuterie board (less desirable - sliced deli cheeses and folded ham & salami with saltine crackers), yummy tater tots wrapped in bacon, veggie plate (average), and probably my favorite - their deviled eggs! We enjoyed Bloody Marys which were delicious (pic with review). Igloo was awesome especially since it was snowing. It was warm inside with multiple little heaters. Bluetooth speaker did not work. Actually the power didn't work on it and it was plugged in to an outlet that worked (heater plugged into it). Server tried but just wasn't working. Server was kind and took care of us really well. She worked for Gloria, the caterer, who sets up the igloo in partnership with DK Diner. I think this was a positive experience but I would probably pass on returning to the igloo and just return to the diner. DK diner is the true gem and fits the diner profile - superb service, warm coffee, amazing breakfast, and scrumptious donuts. We love DK diner!!! read more

Less greasy food and parking is horrible. What a terrible shame for Grandview that Paul's closed.

The DK Diner is an absolute must for breakfast. This diner gives me the Gilmore Girls vibe. It's tucked in a quaint neighborhood but always packed on the weekends. The host will almost always give you a 1 hour wait estimate because it's packed all the time but the most I've waited was 30 mins. If you're not in a rush, grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea at their self serve bar and take a walk around the neighborhood while you wait Their parking lot is small but there's plenty of parking around the neighborhood. Their hashes are a must try! I love their chorizo hash. But the items I got on Sunday were also yummy Donut Sandy - bacon, egg and cheese wedged between a donut is a perfect sweet savory combo Hot Chicken & Walffes - another hot take on a classic chicken and waffle except with crispy Belgian waffles and tenders paired with eggs and maple butter. I thought the chicken would have more of a spicy kick to it but it was just dusted with some cajun spice seasoning. Regardless, it's still delicious. There's definitely a theme here--we're team sweet and salty for breakkie. read more

Food was great! Service was good. Drinks (coffee, water, etc) are self serve. We got there at 11am Saturday morning and they were already sold out of most donuts, so get there early. We did get to try the Apple fritter (B+) and a chocolate cake donut (A). Husband had chicken and waffles (A++) it was delicious. I had the egg sandwich (A) it was good, but next time I'm getting chicken and waffles. Look forward to our next visit! read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It was very "ma&pa" type of diner. The service was well, very unconventional from what you're use to. You wait on yourself basically. The food was decent, it just your average home cooked breakfast nothing special. I tried their breakfast skillet, I'm hoping to try their donuts next time I stop in. It's a safe bet to say the least. It was great for what it was. read more

This was the first time I went to DK diner for lunch rather than breakfast. I got the Phoenix hot chicken sandwich and a Caesar salad. Drinks are self service so unfortunately you have to grab your own but that's not a big deal to me. Over all I really enjoyed my food. My co worker ordered the Italian sub and I will say I don't know if it's worth $13, it was pretty average size/quantity of meat etc. As always I had to grab a few donuts on my way out as well. This is definitely a staple of Grandview I love taking friends to. Give it a try next time you're in the area. read more

Simply put, we LOVED this place! We have been meaning to go for a long time, but Sundays are always jamming there. Fortuitously, there was no wait on our particular visit and we strolled right in. We were told to get ourselves coffee and drinks, which made the vibe feel like being in someone's kitchen. Our server was very kind and affable. There were a few times that she got wrapped up in the hustle, but it didn't bother us! She apologized profusely and gave us a discount, which was not necessary, but very gracious. I ordered the mushroom soup (absolutely homemade) and the turkey rachel with homemade chips- a good choice. My dining companions ordered biscuits and gravy, eggs, and the like. All were met with happy stomachs. We also ordered two donuts- a stick donut and a banana cream pie. I dream about that banana donut daily. We loved the cozy, welcoming, and homey feel of this place. I can't wait to get back. read more

I've wrestled with the start of this post; 1. Kinnnggggssssss 2. Now, that's a doughnut All work. Apply to your vocabulary accordingly. I am blow away. Thank you guys for making a solid DOUGHnut. I had the blueberry and bits of the chocolate, plain and cinnamon. You know how when the donut comes out fresh, like warm and fluffy but over quickly... these doughnuts tasted fresh throughout the day! Also note the spelling ;) They're a mix between fluffy and thick. A pretty perfect textured doughnut. I haven't been inside to tell you the vibe or what this place really is. My manager bought a box for my last day at work today. But I'll you I wasn't disappointed. I love doughnuts and these guys did really well. Enjoy!! read more

Delicious giant breakfast burrito piled full of eggs, sausage (real big slices not little chunks of mystery meat), peppers, cheese, and flavor in a fried tortilla wrap. Comes w salsa for just under $9. The Jackie Omelet for about $9 comes w three eggs enfolded with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and Swiss. Two burritos and one omelet was ready from call to pickup in less than 10 min! They also have a selection of donuts- mostly cake- which are not dry and come in the usual flavors. They also have caramel and chocolate drizzled cronuts, giant cinnamon bun donuts, and apple fritters which are soft yet thick and full of apple flavor. I am thoroughly impressed with the speed and price point. I can't wait to try other menu items! Ok I tried the Gladdington it's a soft brioche bun with sriracha mayo coating multiple pieces of thick kinda crispy but also soft/bendy bacon, cheddar, and thick folds of egg. It was delicious! The skillet is sausage chunks, potatoes, cheese, and gravy over a couple eggs down flat below it. It was also delicious. All of the items I've had here so far are both pretty cheap and pretty big portions in addition to coming out in about 7 minutes flat. Great diner all around. read more

This is your classic unpretentious neighborhood breakfast joint, though they're open till 9 pm! Plenty of screens for watching sports, and a wide assortment of beverages, alcoholic and non. Bonus is sodas and coffee are self-serve. This place can seat about 80 inside with about 30 more in a heated "tent" outside when it gets crowded. Servers treat everybody like regulars....friendly like! And prices are pretty good with very few items above $10. My better half had the delish corned beef hash with 2 eggs plus toast. A nice large heaping of tasty hash with 2 eggs cooked to order. I had a breakfast sandwich (Sandy) with egg, bacon, and cheese (all items customized to your choice). We supplemented our lunch with a chocolate doussant (large sugar-glazed donut shaped like croissant, topped with chocolate icing), and a blueberry donut. Both baked goods tasted fresh and flavorful. We left fully satisfied for about $20. I can see why this place has regular clientele. read more

I have almost been to DK several times but have never been until now. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat outside on a gorgeous spring day. Our server was friendly and atttentive. We had breakfast. Their menus are on your phone. You order and then get your drinks inside. It is kind of weird to get your own drinks but neat. There is a one way line inside. They have a donut counter with many different donut choices. The food was good and the atmoshpere is greasy diner. I can see how this is a local favorite. read more

Absolutely loved DK Diner, we arrived at 7:30 am on a Saturday and only one table was available outside but it worked for us as we asked the waitress to add some more chairs. The outside seating is covered by a huge tent. I ordered a blueberry donut which was AMAZING! It was so fresh and delicious, you have to try one! For my main meal, I got the DK hash chorizo, grilled chorizo hash, sautéed onions & pepper, chipotle hollandaise and avocado. Definitely a must try! Loved every bite. Can't wait to come back and try more read more

The place was filthy. I'm not talking just needs a sweep. No. They need to shut down for two weeks and do deep scrubbing and painting. The food was good but the table was grubby and the walls encrusted. Ugh! I used to work at a health department and I'm surprised they pass inspection. read more

A cute neighborhood dive where you can get breakfast all day till they close. I love corned beef hash and I just have to try it if any restaurant serves this option. I was not disappointed. For under $10 I had an enormous serving (about 2 cups) of corned beef hash nicely grilled. Also came with a toast and 2 eggs. I was stuffed and was quite satisfied. All drinks are self served. I got coffee just so I could eat donuts.Add me please. were very fresh and yummy. Service was friendly and quick. I will definitely stop back when i visit Columbus next time. read more

Loved it! Great breakfast place. Had the home fries loaded. Was able to get a slice of French Toast instead of toast. The cinnamon in the batter made it great. I got an Apple Fritter to go but had to take a small bite. Delicious with lots of apple slices!! Will definitely go back when I'm in the area again read more

This place is a gem of a brunch spot! Technically they also serve lunch and dinner but I honestly have never tried either. It's a tiny little place in middle of Grandview, and are home to one of my personal breakfast favorite items, the donut Sandy. It's a glazed donut sandwich with egg, bacon, and cheese, and it's absolutely amazing! The perfect amount of savory and sweet! Fun fact, DK stands for Donut Kitchen and their donuts are ridiculously good. The prices are very reasonable too. Not to shade any of the other menu items. The pancakes are also delicious! Plenty of vegetarian options and they also have a pet friendly patio. If you're in the Grandview area it's definitely worth a stop in! But on weekends give yourself some extra time because there is usually a wait. But you will definitely understand why after you try it! read more

One of my favorite breakfast places in Columbus easily. The bacon jam and apple fritters are top tier

Best breakfast item I've had in a long time!! I'm normally not a breakfast food person, so I was really shocked at how much I loved the brisket hash. The brisket was good but that dang potato with the hollandaise sauce was just phenomenal. I "wowed" after every bite. It's so good. I'm excited to try the chorizo hash next time. Highly recommend trying one of their hash, you will not be disappointed! It's also a lot of food for $13, and fed me for two meals. read more

First time dining at DK Diner. I started with a perfectly delicious sour cream glazed donut. It was super sweet yet delicious. Also grabbed a cup of coffee (self serve for drinks). Must say the coffee was not my favorite as tasted like foldgers or it Maxwell House. For my rma I ordered the vegetarian breakfast sandwich called the Cambridge. It was nicely prepared with one egg over hard, an impossible breakfast sausage pattie, and carmelized jalapeños. Put all that into a nice brioche with a slightly spicy aolie. I also tried my wife's hash browns which were underwhelming. I would come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Completely worth the drive outside of Columbus proper. The feel of a true casual American diner, everything was tasty and portions were generous. Friendly staff and good service. Limited sitting, mix between self serve and service. Bathroom wasn't the best but I didn't go there for the restroom . When I'm back in the area again, will return for round two. read more

Fantastic meal. Great service. I highly recommend DK Diner. It might be a bit hard to find in the dark but well worth finding. I had the "Wake Up Burger" and upgraded the side from fresh cut chips to onion rings. The onion rings were large, delicious and worth the upgrade cost. The burger was hand made and a perfect size for me (maybe a bit big for others). The toppings and bun for the burger were very good but the bacon was fantastic. My wife got the Side Greek Salad and Chicken BLT with Garlic Mayo. I had an Orange Crush and my wife had a bottle of Apple Juice and Hot Tea to drink. The bill before tip was $42. The food came very quickly and it was reasonably priced. It's a nice casual place with a very nice atmosphere. A tip for first time diners, the drinks are self-serve and you pay for them at the cashier's counter when you get them. I believe this is a hidden gem for Columbus area diners. read more
