Food is always great. Service is what makes this place worth coming back to. Always a great morning visit after a long night shift. Can't really go wrong with a thing on this item and if you don't know, just order it. It'll be delicious regardless. It's a very welcoming vibe with tons of seating and as much hot sauce to match I have yet to have a negative experience here and I'm hoping it continues to remain a staple in the community. read more

I have visted this place so much over the years and it hasn't done me wrong! Not only is the food fantastic, but I love the aspect of the restaurant that you can color on the tables, walls, anywhere! It's very fun and provides a homey atmosphere. I usually get the avocado toast with the veggie sausages, which is enough to feed two in my opinion. But, I've recently been in love with their famous pancake balls and I highly recommend the pumpkin butter filling! It's a great place to hang out with friends, take pictures, and even bring along dates. One reason why I didn't give it a 5 star rating is the size of the place. It's very small, and doesn't take reservations, so either go early or wait a couple minutes. Their turn around time isn't that long, so it's not the end of the world if you don't find a seat. read more

Super cute and trendy with unique food choices! I love trying new things on the menu (but sometime resort back to the delicious pancake balls). The food is such a unique combination of ingredients but always tastes amazing! They also have lots of options and alternatives for vegetarians. Sometimes there is a long wait and the food is a little pricey but it's definitely worth it. read more

So delicious! Had the vegetarian breakfast tacos, and half nutella half Dulce pancake balls. Would be nice if they had Mexican hot chocolate to go with it. Coffee was good. Outside patio is nice. read more

Katalina's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was not impressed with their craphole on Pa Ave, but I figured they must have improved if they can afford to open this on such prime frontage in Clintonville. Wrong. Lukewarm food, improperly cooked eggs. One dish was overly salted, the other was bland. All they do well is pancake balls, but those are overpriced. If you like this place, I hope you one day try some good food. read more

I stopped by the Clintonville Farmers Market and decided to give this place a try. I heard a lot about it on Tik-Tok and wanted to check it out. It is really cute on the inside and the outside. We ordered the Hibiscus Herbal Iced Tea($3.50), Breakfast Tacos($14), the Purple Craze Hash($7) and the Pancake Balls with Pumpkin Apple Butter($14.50). Their system had a glitch and didn't send our food order to the kitchen. After waiting about an hour I went up to the register and spoke to someone since we hadn't received our order. The staff was very helpful! They were able to get our food out on a rush and also offered us drinks and a gift card for the trouble. It wasn't their fault but technology can be really fluke at time. So if you notice your order is taking a while just head to the register to be sure everything went through. The Breakfast Tacos were totally worth the wait! They were amazing. The Purple Hash was pretty good and the Pancake Balls are super filling so I recommend sharing them. We also tried the Blood Orange Drink which was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the Breakfast Tacos and Blood Orange Drink! read more

So so good. Love all the vegetarian and vegan options available and the effort put into them! I was super impressed by the food and the restaurant itself is so cute as well. Would absolutely go again. read more

I want this place to be good! I always get excited at the menu because it has items that I love having lived in Texas for several years. But it just doesn't work. Maybe they're trying to do too many things? Maybe something got lost in translation on the way to Ohio? The Huevos Rancheros is all kinds of wrong. As is the Migas... no. Just call these things something else, because it is quite disappointing to think you're getting one thing and then get something very very different than the name implies. I probably will go here again when my family is in town because they have lots of options that can please diverse taste buds. And they really are trying! I just wish it was better. read more

Oh my geez.....two words: pancake balls. Ever since I discovered these gems at Katalina's about a month ago, I have shamelessly had them every weekend. Nutella, Dulce de Leche, Pumpkin Apple Butter....I've had all the flavors and they're all beyond amazing. Not to mention they're topped with a maple Bourbon syrup and served with two strips of bacon (sweet & spicy - the best way to eat bacon....don't @ me). We dined in yesterday and also tried the Migas which were delicious. That and a serving of pancake balls were more than enough for two people. Even though we stopped in at noon on a Sunday, the line moved quickly and we were enjoying our food in no time. I highly suggest this next time you're in Clintonville or Vic Village and looking for a bomb brunch. read more

Katalina's - Pancake balls - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was always a big fan of Katalinas, so when they moved down the street from me in Clintonville, the excitement was high. I've been a few times since they've opened - and mainly like tying a trip here to the Clintonville Farmers Market throughout the summer and fall months. The food is fantastic - a testament to how busy they are in the mornings, especially on a weekend. However, their lack of seating availability is why I didn't give a 5th star. If the weather is good, they do offer a great patio out front, but poor weather results in a scrum for seating and a logistical nightmare for the restaurant. While all the tables are filled, the register doesn't stop taking orders. So you have people breathing down your back to finish quickly and clean up your space for them. The price is steep, for the size of the serving they give you, but I promise it'll fill you up! This is comfort food. Their spicy bacon is the best bacon in Columbus. I always get the Nutella filled pancake balls and I always struggle to finish because they're so filling! read more

Good food and filling portions. I love introducing people to this place. The pancake balls are good but I like with the breakfast wich. The French toast and everything but the kitchen sink are great too. They should definitely add a Monte Cristo to their menu. It'd fit right in. read more

This was my first visit to Katalinas and it definitely will not be the last. I ordered the pancake balls filled with Nutella and a side of sweet and spicy bacon, breakfast tacos and huevos racheros! For drinks we ordered the cold brew and the watermelon mint lemonade. The cold brew was easily some of the best I've ever had! The pancake balls were so fluffy and paired perfectly with the bacon, my only complaint is that I wish there was a little more Nutella inside! The breakfast tacos were perfect to me. And the huevos racheros were amazing as well, both with no compaints! read more

The restaurant itself is fairly cute and the workers were pleasant, which was a plus! I also thought the prices were good for the amount of food that they give you. The black bean tacos were good, but not great - I just wish that they weren't as dry as they are but I did love that the tacos came with chips and pico! I felt similarly about the avocado toast - good, but not great. While they do give a lot of toast for just one order, the avocado spread lacks any additional flavor outside of the avocado as the garnish doesn't add anything but texture. read more

You haven't lived if you haven't had Katalinas pancake balls!!! I ordered a seasonal kind with apple butter and holy moly they were the bomb!! They have a good amount of vegetarian options along with some strong cold brew. The new spot in Clintonville is much more spacious than the OG in Victorian village. read more

Soooo, having cherished the pancake balls and adored the atmosphere of the Short North Katalina's, the only reason I'm giving the Clintonville store a 4 instead of a 5 is the bacon was a bit skimpy and a few of the pancake balls had very little Nutella. Definitely much more seating indoors and out for larger groups. And btw, I'm not usually a pancake fan. read more

Living in Columbus I've had plenty of people recommend me Katalina's. I live less than 10 minutes away from this location so I decided to finally try it. First thought was parking is super tricky. There's a small lot behind the restaurant, luckily we went pretty early so there were spots available. The place itself is very cute and trendy. I went in knowing that I would be ordering the breakfast tacos. My boyfriend got the migas with veggie sausage. We got orange juice and coffee as well and our total was nearly $40. A little pricey imo for breakfast but I understand that they source a lot of their ingredients. Unfortunately we both were a little disappointed with the flavor of our meals. The tacos were decent, I did not enjoy the black bean salad(?) that came with it on the side. The migas were decent but again just a little bland. Luckily they had a variety of hot sauces available at each table. Overall I'd maybe give this place another shot but I'm in no rush. read more

Katalina's - Award-Winning Breakfast Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Katlinas is the best hidden gem in Clintonville. Definitely a place that you should try. I always order the breakfast tacos which have an amazing combination of egg and toppings. The Nutella pancake balls are also amazing. The only thing that I wish was better was the seating. Sometimes you have to sit with others because the seating is tighter than most. The food makes the place worth it. There has not been anything that I haven't liked read more

First time at Katalina's!!!! My son said they were known for their pancake balls so that's what my friend and I ordered with a side order of hash! It was very tasty!!! I went on a Wednesday and the place was very busy!!! The one thing I did not like is having to wait in line to order and worry about finding a table. It would be so much better to have a server. What if you order and no tables are available???? You stand around waiting for someone to leave while your food gets cold. read more

Was not to sure about this place, thought it might be to healthy for me but that was not the case. I had the BEST BLT I have ever had and a delicious Jarrito lime drink. Sat on the patio which was nice but the noise from High St was really loud. Give it a try but if you want to talk, sit inside read more

Excellent avocado toast and Chile poblano soup! Wow!! What a find. Also tried the pancake balls - tasty, but one is filling!

The food was good, I ordered the Mexican French Toast with Katalina's Sweet and Spicy bacon. The French toast is a large portion, I definitely couldn't finish it all at once. It has a nice kick to it, it's not spicy, but you can definitely tell that it's well seasoned. The Sweet and Spicy bacon was great, I would definitely get it again. I don't know why but I expected to be seated and have a server. That wasn't the case, which is no problem, just different that I expected. You order at the front, take a table number, and then seat yourself. Shortly after, your food is brought out to you. Napkins and utensils are already placed on the tables and you're able to get your own cup of water from a nearby dispenser. I had a few different people come by and ask if I needed a box or anything bussed from my table which was nice. The only awkward experience I had was when ordering, I asked the lady at the counter a question about one of their juices and all she said was "Eh, it's sweet." Didn't really give me any information about the flavor or what was in the drink lol. I decided not to go with that based upon her description. read more

Katalin's has redeemed themselves from their original location and our first visit. This new location has much better seating. Their menu items are hit or miss. Avoid the Mexican French toast and breakfast tacos. They are only ok and not worth the price. The tacos are not filling and the French toast tastes more weird than delicious. Go for the amazing pancake balls and pulled pork sandwich. That's what will bring me back again. read more

nice restaurant. the breakfast i got was delicious. there food is a little pricy for how simple most of it is, but i would recommend coming here at least once to check it out. read more

Katalina's - Katalina's eggs with veggie sausage and potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I'll be objective as possible, after our lunch today 6/10/2022. First timers so we depended a lot on reviews and the staff. We ordered breakfast tacos, pulled pork tacos, with a side of purple hash. Both orders of tacos were cold not tepid but cold. The coffee is outstanding! The corn on the cob and purple hash were both great. As we were visiting for the very first time we weren't sure whether the tacos were supposed to be served the way we received them or not, but the staff offered no accommodations for there admitted mistake. We were disappointed. I'm giving a 3-star rating because the coffee and side were that good. If you try them like we did, return you cold food to the servers. read more

Mazatlan slow roasted sandwich is absolute fire. When I have friends or family I'm town that's always one of my go to spots. If they order that sandwich they all say it's amazing. I've also tried the Nutella and pumpkin apple butter pancake ball. I prefer Nutella more no need to dip in syrup IMO. The pancake balls is better to share it gets too rich if you try to eat a whole order. read more

Yikes..my boyfriend and I have been to the Harrison West Katalina's dozens of times but something was lost in translation with this one. To start with the good: spacious. So much better than the other one. Great space and prime location. The rest was meh. Pancake balls were greasier than we remembered, migas were flavorless, greasy, and cold (I had to douse it in hot sauce to make myself want to eat it!) and the accompanying avocado toast was both too much (4 pieces!?) and...frankly bad. Limp, soggy, and a little light on the avocado for avocado toast. Really unappetizing overall. I left feeling like I'd bathed in oil. Then we went to the old Katalina's and found that prices were raised - the staff told us it was due to the opening of the new location. Extremely disappointing! We probably won't be back. read more

Let's start by saying this was the best avocado toast ever....simple but bursting with flavor. The black bean tacos were amazing and migas awesome. The food was fresh, fresh, fresh, and the vegan/vegetarian options creative and plentiful. Service was friendly and helpful. The decor was cool and simple, yet fun. I will definitely be making this a regular stop when in Columbus. Only reason I did not give 5 stars was the food is a bit pricey (but not outrageous). read more

Tried the new Katalina's recently and was thoroughly impressed. I showed up ahead of the rest of my party and didn't want to order quite yet and the nice staff allowed me to grab a cup of coffee while I waited with the promise I would pay for it upon my entree order instead of having to wait in line twice. My group got two orders of the Latina sandwich and two orders of the Migas plus an order of the pancake balls. We got two kinds of pancake balls (Nutella and Dulce de Leche). The order was accurate and both flavors were delicious. The bacon included in the pancake balls was a nice touch as well. The two ladies in our group got the Ms. Katalina's Migas and both scarfed their meals down and commented at how yummy the avocado toast was. I looked at the toast and the avocado was not used sparingly. My buddy and I got the Latina sandwiches and loved the taste. The sweet n spicy bacon was a nice touch in addition to the tomatillo sauce which brought the sandwich together. Atmosphere, staff, and speed all receive high marks in my book. I will be back. read more

Ordered the Migas and they were super dry. I took my dad here while he was visiting me in Columbus and I was embarrassed - didn't make a good impression. It's the whitest version of Mexican brunch that I've ever encountered lol. read more

This is the first time I came to the Clintonville location. It's definitely busy, but I wish the online wait time would reflect it. I ordered a sandwich and tacos at 11:30 and the ready time was 12:10 for pickup. I got there and they said it'd be another 4 minutes wait. 45 minutes later I'm still standing there waiting. I understand that COVID makes things difficult, but an extra 45 minutes wait inside the store after a 50 minute wait from home is ridiculous. I wouldn't mind the wait if the online time would just reflect it so I don't run late to my next schedule. read more

Coming from California, I would be embarrassed to spend $13 for tacos???? Damn. The most expensive tacos I've ever bought. Went here for brunch with a friend for the first time. The tacos, were okay, but this is definitely more of an Americanized Mexican style restaurant. read more

$33 for a breakfast for two? Holy sweet Jesus. I understand the "we source local" line, but unless Katalina is personally grinding the wheat for the pancake balls, charging $12 for them is ridiculous. But hey, it works. It was packed. So hipster it hurts. read more

In the center of the Clintonville's farmers market, this restaurant is a perfect brunch break after strolling around the cute suburb of Columbus!! Their infamous pancake balls (we got the dulce le leche )are not overly sweet and just hits the spot for a nice morning indulgence. The bacon on the side of the sandwich was crispy, but not too oily and the egg sandwich completed the sweet start with a savory end. Highly recommend getting the breakfast balls if you get too overwhelmed by the options the menu has to offer!! read more

We stopped by today for lunch and I am so glad we did! I want to start with the staff because for me if the staff is not on top of things the entire experience can go downhill fast. They were fantastic, friendly, attentive, polite and efficient. The food was fresh, tasty and hot ( temperature) . I had the breakfast tacos ( vegetarian) so good and the corn was delicious. My husband had the French toast with the bacon and he aliso liked his meal. The fresh juices were also very good. The place was spotless including the bathrooms and floors. Yes, it can be a little pricey but for the quality of the food , the environment and small business I think it's reasonable.. I know this location had their up and downs when they stared but today was a hit... keep it up because we love this location! read more

We live in Clintonville and are happy that more restaurants are opening in the 'hood. We are especially excited that Kat's decided to locate here. Having said that we have a few "reservations" (pun intended). PROS: Staff is very friendly and the food is yummy. Coffee is good and the wait is no too bad considering it's popularity. CONS: The food is yummy because it's greasy. It's also pricey. Being greasy, the air quality in the place is poor, so sit outside if you can. The one time we sat inside our eyes teared up to the point we had to leave. Afterwards we had to burn our clothes ;-) (I feel sorry for the staff having to work in those conditions.) They need to work on their kitchen ventilation. THE SKINNY: Great digs for the occasional splurge, but sit outside. read more

Would give this place 10 stars if I could. I've never had a bad meal here - and I've tried quite a bit from the menu! Even if they have a long line I promise you it is worth the wait, also be sure to order a round of pancake balls ever time you go. I have family that has since moved away and every time they are in town they insist on coming to Katalina's read more

Not worth the hype, they have a great Mexican inspired breakfast and unique pancake balls but not worth the bang for your buck. The food is overall good but nothing astonishing. read more

Unfortunately I think this visit was my last time eating at katalinas. The cost does not match the taste. I got the vegan Patty it was the worst thing I've ever eaten in my life it's a mixture of a dog food flavor(yes I've tried) and flavoring of some kind, they did return it and give me a refund. I ate the pancake balls with Nutella the norm and veggie sausage which was pretty good. my niece had a pork sandwich I believe she said it if it's not what she expected and her first and last visit. as a foodie I can't say I would recommend. I'm so sorry for this review I used to Rave about katalinas. the new location is great I enjoyed the additional seating. read more

Honestly not worth it. so overly priced with food that literally has very little taste. Rather had a McGriddle than pancakes balls (i don't eat McGriddles). Chicken Sink 4/10 Latina 4/10 Breakfast tacos 4/10. Pancake balls No/10 !! Nothing special at all about this place at all. Not even the ambiance/decor. SERVICE: 1/10!!!! i've served for 6 years now. And if i worked at Katalinas I would be pretty set. Judging the crowd and location there is an opportunity to make good money! And what kind of service do we received, ASS. Bro like you take an order, slap it down, and walk away. The labor intensive part of what a typical server would experience is not here, so why are the severs annoyed, disinterested, exasperated and aloof? We still support our servers so tipping well is never a question but shit You served me shit food and left me feeling robbed. overall experience- Wouldn't recommend. read more
