“ If you are anywhere near this place for breakfast, detour and go here. It is in a run down strip of stores, but the food is AWESOME. The place shows it age, but that's part of the charm. The grill is right out front, just like they used to be. I had the Jr. Biscuits and sausage gravy. I wanted the full size, but the waitress talked me out of it, and I'm glad she did. More than enough food. The biscuits are excellent, thick ,fluffy but solid enough to fill you up. The gravy is spot on with flavor and it's all on top of fried sliced potatoes. And they serve coffee in full sized mugs!! You've got to try this place. ”
“ Best service and food I've had in a while! Everyone was welcoming, service was quick even though they were busy, and the food was absolutely perfect. Definitely my new go to breakfast spot. ”
“ This cold morning was great for a sausage egg and cheese biscuit and coffee. Just please have patience as they can get busy. Friendly staff!! ”
“ First time trying Fitzy's. I'm picky when it comes to sausage gravy. This was definitely good. My wife had the Western Omelet and stated it was good. We brought home a piece of Carrot cake. Needless to say, it's gone. We'll be back. ”
“ We ate breakfast here and loved the food and the service. The dinner has a good atmosphere and a decent amount of seating. I liked the fact that the cooking area is right out front with the counter and Old timey rotating stools. ”
“ Stopped in here after a hike to cancel out that calories we burned. Had a pretty standard breakfast of eggs, meat, potatoes and added on blueberry pancakes. Pancakes were phenomenal. Maybe the best I've had in Columbus. I love a good breakfast potato that's not loaded with oil/salt. My daughter had the Philly and steak chili. A perfect Texas red chili with steak, another chef's kiss. Also tried the chicken fried steak with my husband and we both recommend it as well. Food was really good and freshly made, was a weird hour so they weren't busy, service was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try more. ”
“ Very easy to eat delicious old fashioned breakfast food. Nothing weird, nothing that’s “trending” just classic food. They refilled my coffee & we barely had any leftovers because we literally ate it all up. I love a classic retro aesthetic, this place doesn’t feel forced or fake it feels like the real thing, which to me honestly is refreshing to see. The waitress was actually very nice, i don’t normally remember my interactions with the waitress but she was actually noticeably nice. Did not need to wait either we were seated right away. very easily see myself becoming a regular here. 10/10 will go again. & I can’t wait. lol. ”
“ Hubby friend had referred us to do a visit here at Fitz's. Good service, hot food. Nice atmosphere. One best part, hubby paid it forward as in picking up another tables bill, we stayed unknown to the party. Kindness is truly needed amoung us all. ”
