“ Best food and best service. You can tell they truly love feeding people and wanting their patrons to have a great experience. ”

“ Great food Terrific prices One of the best Ruben's in the area Not pretentious just delicious ”

“ Love this place! We have stopped here in the past when we fly into Columbus. Sitting at the bar watching the owner doing his magic on the cooktop! This trip our group enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes, regular buttermilk pancakes, eggs and bacon , Western Omelette and the absolutely delicious hash browns!! By far the best I've had! The staff is super friendly and attentive! ”

“ Foof is amazing. Parking and seating less so.. You may have to park behind the restaurant. There are counter seats. ”

“ My friend and I went to Stav's for a late lunch to avoid the crowds. I've been meaning to try it for a while. Be warned that the parking lot is tiny and difficult to get in and out of. The restaurant is tiny too. There are stools at the counter and about 6 tables for 2 along the wall. It is so small that they can reach across the aisle from behind the counter to hand plates to the tables. Don't worry there are servers who will take your order and deliver it to the table. The menu is bigger than the restaurant. Breakfast and lunch options are available thru-out their regular hours. I had a florentine omelet with crispy hash browns and rye toast. The omelet was perfectly cooked and soooo tasty. The potatoes were crispy as I asked for. The toast was hot and perfectly brown. The food was well presented. Butter and jelly were available on the table. Service was prompt and the server checked with us without us having to ask. My friend loved her soup and omelet. The bill for both meals was about $22. The portions were huge, the place is very clean, lots of friendly conversations among the staff and customers. The restroom is small but clean. We will be back here often. ”

“ This place is very small, only one cook, so you will wait much longer than you expected so I hope you're not in a rush. However, the food was delicious and the service was great too. Just make sure you're not in a hurry, not your typical diner. ”

“ We had breakfast at Stav's Diner this morning. I had a western omelette with hash browns, rye toast, and coffee. My wife enjoyed two eggs, hash browns, crispy bacon, and challah toast. Our meal was delicious! The friendly, attentive staff at Stav's never disappoint. What a great way to start a Friday! ”

“ Stav's has to be my absolute favorite breakfast spot in town. The people are amazing . The food is more than amazing. I can truly say I never had a bad meal here. All the food is made to order. Today I had the Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich with a side order of hash browns with onions. Which was 10/10. I also enjoy the pancakes so I got a short stack on the side. Which was phenomenal. I got a chance to talk with the cook Pete who was funny and very attentive. The waitress all made sure I had what I needed for my late breakfast. They all serve you with a smile. The restaurant is always clean and just an overall great dining experience. If you have tried this hidden gym in the city! Look no further and find sometime to go!!! Definitely a 10/10 experience food and service! ”

“ Went here for breakfast based on a recommendation from a family member. It was busy in a Sunday morning but they got us in fairly quickly. It is a smaller diner with 2 person tables and then seating along the counter. Service was very friendly and food was really great! Ordered food and it came quickly and the cooks were like a well oiled machine. It was truly interesting to watch them work so smoothly. I would definitely recommend this place! ”

“ Meaning to come here for awhile, but as usual, it's out of my way. And we had swung by once before on a Saturday morning and it was crazy busy. Yesterday I saw a horrible review of it by somebody who didn't even go inside, and I was very close by today, so of course I had to stop in and see. This is exactly what I want a diner to be. When I got there at 8:30 on a weekday morning, it was about half full. Which meant there were five or six customers. It's small, and the weekends are going to be nuts. But there were plenty of seats at tables and the counter for me. The owner was cooking, and complimented my shirt, and had a cool T-shirt on himself. The waitress, (I guess she was, though she was busy working behind the counter) was also friendly. I was a little worried that it might take a while to get my food because I had an appointment coming up, but my stuff was on the grill almost as soon as I ordered it, and was ready a short while later. In and out in under half an hour. And that's just because I took my time eating. I got biscuits and gravy because of course I did. Whenever they are on the menu, I need to try them. I think it was canned gravy, but it was pretty decent. Good sturdy biscuit, fluffy, but dense enough to hold up to gravy. I also got two eggs over medium, and they were cooked perfectly. Somebody else ordered fried bologna sandwiches while I was there, and they looked amazing. This is real diner food, done the right way. With a staff who are like family, work together well, crack jokes with the regulars, and even the newbies. There was a steady flow of carry out orders while I was there. There's an extensive menu of all sorts of breakfast and lunch items. The place was super clean, even the bathroom. Good music playing softly. I will still avoid it at peak times, just because I don't like people. But as a diner, as a breakfast place, as a local treasure, it is amazing. ”
