Awesome food and service. This is a classic diner style restaurant, with everything you'd expect! Just a little north of Delaware so not too far from the north side of Columbus. read more

Went here for a business breakfast and ordered the corned beef hash. Was expecting hash, not full potatoes, but that being said it really was good. Topped it with some hot sauce and ketchup on the side and I was good to go. Really like this place! read more

After some encouragement from my wife to try it, we finally made it to this diner. The last time I ate at this 'diner car' style restaurant it was owned by a different owner and wasn't very good. Not so now! The Diner Combo breakfast I ordered was very tasty, with two perfectly cooked over-medium eggs, thick bacon and whole breakfast potatoes, which were great. But the star of the show was their biscuits and gravy. Two medium size but super fluffy biscuits covered with some of the best gravy you'll find in Delaware or anywhere for that matter. Our server said it was the owner's grandmother's recipe and I believe it! This is a small diner so it may seem a bit cramped at times but that's to be expected but it seemed very clean. This is not the place to go if you're in a hurry, and they're upfront about it. However, a little patience pays off here with some top quality diner food and service, and I will be back. read more

We came in about 11:15am for a late breakfast. Our first time here. We weee promptly seated and our drink order was taken and delivered in a timely manner. After a short time our waitress came and took our order, she was very pleasant. 11:30am - no food 11:45am - no food 12:00noon - no food, people around us are leaving, new coming in. 12:15pm - waitress comes to our table and tells us that "the machine" misprinted our order, our food should be out shortly. I'm sorry but this is very suspect to me, everybody else's orders were printed correctly and how does a machine misprint unless the operator mis-entered? When the food came it was good, but an extremely long wait, would have preferred to have just been told the truth....giving a rating of four but 3.5 is how I feel. read more

Can't believe I haven't left a review for this place yet..Lol.. My midnight crew from work and I would try and visit weekly on Fridays..well we all went to different shifts and that ended. So when my hubby and I go for breakfast we always forget this place. Not today!! Stopped in and were seated right away. The atmosphere is like 50's diner on the outside and inside. Red leather seats and old signs and the black and white check floor. I ordered the Breakfast fries but instead of fries I had them add their potatoes. Talk about yum! The eggs over hard on top of them with their gravy and the cheese chunks.. then I get some of their sourdough toast which is to die for. My hubby even ordered the same as I did and loved it as well. He even ordered a stack of pancakes which were light and fluffy. They have daily specials and a case full of goodies when you check out too. read more

I love this gem of an independent eatery! We have never been disappointed with anything on the menu. Their baked goods are amazing and they offer gluten free. If you have the chance to stop, your taste buds will be forever gra read more

We went on Monday around 1pm. This was our first time - we've driven by so many times but this time we saw cars and stopped for lunch. Very clean restaurant. All the food was freshly made - French fries were fresh cut and ranch dip was amazing! Burgers were great, different options to choose from. Plenty of food. We will be back again! read more

Do not judge a book by its cover. This diner is a classic gem and a wonderful family-friendly foodie destination! The food is hearty and made with TLC. The space is very clean and well-taken care of. The is a ton of parking in the front and back. From the fresh coffee, to the fresh fluffy biscuits with gravy, all the way down to the potatoes, fresh fruit and blueberry zucchini bread, everything was tasty and delicious! We will absolutely make this a mandatory regular visit for future trips back to Ohio. read more

We visited on a Saturday morning. I got the sausage and bacon hash, my husband got the brussel sprout breakfast, and my children got a waffle and a pancake respectively. My meal was greasy and I stopped eating it after 2 to 3 bites. It came with whole potatoes and there was maybe 3 pieces of sausage in the whole thing. Unfortunately, the waitress dumped an entire cup of ice cold water with ice cubes all over me and my 4 year old. It was an unfortunate accident, but our pants, shirts, and shoes were all soaking wet. Our waitress brought us towels to dry off. She did scream when she dumped the water, which caused the entire diner to stop and stare. I was completely mortified. I understand that accidents can and do happen, but I can't imagine soaking a 4 year old with cold water (and her Mom!) And seeing someone didn't even eat their meal and then not giving any sort of discount off that bill. After paying $60 (!!!) we left and my 4 year old walked out with soaking wet pants, shoes, and shirt. I still gave this place 2 stars because my husband and my child who didn't get soaking wet had an enjoyable meal. We will not be back. read more

Great little eclectic diner off of 23, pun intended. I've driven by this place literally a hundred times never popped in and try it but now I can honestly say that I did stop in and I cannot drive by without stopping in ever again! read more

Eclectic Diner & Sweeterie - Great home style diner - American Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

I had my first opportunity to visit this location. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the old diner type car. The service was great and while I did not eat one, the deserts on the show case looked amazing. My only concern was price. I am not sure how a grilled chicken sandwich substituting a salad for the fries ends up costing $20.00. If your going, be sure you understand the price. I was never offered a bill to review and should have questioned it when I was there. read more

I have been by this diner many times on my way to Marion and they always seemed closed. I was finally in the area for the breakfast/lunch hours and this place definitely isn't closed. They were hopping with customers! Their menu looked good and wanting to try a new place we went to Eclectic for breakfast. The service was kind of slow and our server was abrupt but I think that is because she was so busy. The food was delicious though! The breakfast potatoes were yummy! I ate everything. We got slices of pie to go. I got the peanut butter pie. The slice was large. It was creamy and flavorful. I am glad I got to finally try Eclectic and will be back. The decor is cute diner trailer style and the food is tasty! read more

Probably wouldn't come back again. I have been sitting and wondering if I should post this review for a week now, but have decided it's probably for the best this is known. The breakfast is decent. Nothing special, but I wouldn't complain about it! Especially with the diner's old school vibe, it really gives a cozy lazy morning feel. But the service was far from being good. They acted as if we were bothering them, wouldn't talk about the menu with us, and was just overly hostile. read more

Fabulous food and quick service I wish we lived closer!!! Great variety on the menu and daily specials!! read more

Great food, friendly staff. I love their breakfast! I love their menu and I feel like I am treated like a friend instead of just a customer.

Stopped for a late breakfast after absentee voting. Good food at a reasonable price. Server was great. Only one cook so we understand why it took a while to get the food. We would stop again if in the area. read more

Came across this beauty by accident. Couldn't believe they had gluten free options. Had some decadent gluten free maple deliciousness French toast. Husband had biscuits and gravy and a traditional breakfast. Had gluten free zucchini blueberry bread to take home. So good. Takes a bit long to get food but we went when busy. Update-just tried the GF zucchini blueberry bread and it was amazing! My husband, who is able to eat gluten, also loved this bread. It was moist and not grainy like a lot of GF foods. I am glad I bought a full loaf and now just a piece! read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time today. The server, Lindsay greeted me, suggested items on the menu and was very friendly and attentive. I had breakfast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the Yukon Gold breakfast potatoes were different and tasty. The blueberry zucchini bread was moist and delicious. They did not skimp on the blueberries. There was a constant flow of diners. One thing that I found unique and very pleasant: I could see five tables, 10 diners from where I sat. Not one of them had their heads stuck in a cell phone. People were conversing and giving eye contact. That is refreshing and rare these days. I am told that the majority of the food served is made from scratch and when possible is locally sourced. The server, Lindsay, really made my experience special. I will return and I suggest you give it a try. read more

We decided to stop in here on a whim. We always enjoy trying new places. We was pleasantly surprised they were open. There wasn't many people dining there at the time. But, the inside was definitely old school and comfy. The staff was pleasant but not too attentive. There was only 1 waitress and not much other staff. The food was good but you don't the amount of food you are served isn't a whole lot. read more

I LOVED this place!!!!!!! I loved this place so much I'm trying to figure out how soon I can get back. I went for lunch. The customer service was exceptionally amazing. Seriously. Brandy was our waitress and was so good at explaining food items we asked about. I didn't get the girls name who took our tickets at the end, but she was also really kind! Even the cook said thanks for coming in as we left! I had the seasonal beet and goat cheese salad with freshly made raspberry vinaigrette. The chef makes her own pickled beets and the greens are fresh, not from a bag--you can tell. They make their own garlicky croutons and they were crispy and chewy. Perfect. I also had their creamy wild rice soup which was just what I wanted on this dark, cold day. I can't wait to come back for breakfast. I need to try the pancakes!! read more

If you want to eat overpriced, mediocre food after waiting an hour and a half, then this is the place for you! I would not recommend this place on a Saturday morning. We waited almost a full hour to get in and then nearly 30 minutes to get our food. There was nothing special about the meal. I got the diner special, eggs, sausage, potatoes, and sausage gravy. It was bland and tasted cheap. When you go to the register, there's nothing cheap about your bill, though....almost $50 for 2 people to eat breakfast. I would not recommend this place, and I'll never go back. read more

Place was empty yesterday (a Friday morning )and I asked for a booth, they suggested a bar stool; I asked could I have a booth. Who wants to sit on a "bar stool?" Crowded shoulder to shoulder at the counter, BTW. "You'll have to talk to waitress/hostess number 2". Waitress number 2: "How many in your party? Me : "1" Waitress #2 "have a seat at the counter". Me: "but waitress number 1, said you could seat me in a booth". Waitress #2 "Yes, because she knew I'd sit you back at the counter, :). Me: "I'll go somewhere else then and I did". If I could have given you a 0 star I would have. I was looking for a relaxing, leisurely breakfast and not perched on a "stool" Terrible attitudes and not a customer friendly place! Again it was empty like all the pictures with no one in booth seats. Take your business elsewhere folks. No one needs to be treated like that! read more

Great service and homemade food. I love being able to support a family restaurant too!

Maybe it was an off day but it seemed like our waitress was in a hurry every time she stopped by our table which made us feel like we were a burden. The food was ok. We won't be back. read more

Tried biscuits and gravey not great Service terrible too If you have all day this is your place read more

Best breakfast in town! The staff are friendly and fast. The menu is good old comfort food. Eggs, bacon, biscuits, gravy, waffles, OJ, hot fresh coffee. I've been several times and never disappointed. Family friendly. It is a Diner so don't expect the appearance of a 5 star restaurant. My only complaint is they are not open on Sundays and they close at 3:00pm daily. The sweets offered are not too varied but I'm always too full to order desert. read more

We were excited, had high hopes. Wife's fish and chips: one small piece of frozen (Van de Camps?) fish. Outside overdone, inside undercooked. Cole slaw was not good. Fries were burned. My patty melt was hard and overcooked on the outside. Order of onion rings was 4 rings. Too bad. Won't be back. We kept thinking of the great fish and chips, etc. at Old Bag of Nails in downtown Delaware. read more

I love this place! We moved to the area recently and are so glad we found this little treasure. The menu is great, lots of choices and everything tastes exceptional. The fried fish is so crispy and battered to perfection! I love their variety of desserts and daily specials. read more

I've been here a few times now and twice was seated in the back corner booth where is seemed the servers forgot about us. Food was good.

Eclectic Diner & Sweeterie - Eggs done perfectly, bacon, sourdough toast and bonus potatoes. Yummy! - American Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

The food is definitely eclectic and delicious. I've had the hashes and omelets and they were outstanding. On my last visit (yesterday) I had a zucchini quinoa burger at the suggestion of the waitress who highly recommended it despite the fact she really doesn't care for zucchini. The staff is always friendly and efficient. They treat everybody like a regular and you feel welcome. The place has a diner atmosphere where you feel at home. As a kicker, I decided to get some dessert to take home since my wife had to work and wasn't able to accompany my granddaughter, daughter, and me this time. I got some German Chocolate cheesecake and it was sinfully delicious. I highly recommended a visit to this appropriately named establishment. read more

Biscuits and gravy are amazing. Service was fantastic. My daughter in law had gorgeous blueberry pancakes. The eggs were perfectly cooked. In a nutshell, I needed a mid morning nap when we were finished. We'll be back for sure! read more

This place is a hidden gem on Route 23. The people are so friendly and the diner is a throwback to the 50s in all the right ways. But the Chef/owner. Phenomenal food. The breakfast is great. Perfect pancakes, biscuits and gray, and potatoes. The lunch is out of this world too. Try the burger and you will cancel any plans to eat somewhere else. read more

Our first time here and it is one of the best breakfast places I have ever been to! If your looking for biscuits and gravy this is the best! The gravy is dark and thick and the biscuits and fluffy and just the right amount of salty. We also had their chocolate chip pancakes which were fluffy. The underdog was the sausage. Man their sausage patties were to die for! If your passing by or live In town, make sure you stop by! read more
