Great locstion, outstanding variety of breakfast, very creative menu, fun staff. Kara and the crew took stellar care if us. cinnamon French toast was awesome
I don’t post very often, but I just felt that I needed to go out of the way because everyone was just so nice. I went in by myself with my two-year-old and always get a little nervous, but the service was fantastic and everyone was so sweet!! I had a hard time picking from the menu and the server was very nice. I’m gonna have to go back and try everything else!
I was seated at the bar and had excellent service. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast which was topped with blueberries. The whipped cream and buttercream toppings were as tasty as you'd expect, but I preferred the dish with only blueberries. My side of bacon was also excellent, and the coffee was good. I'll definitely be back!
HangOverEasy never disappoints. We absolutely love this place. I had the chicken and waffles with hot honey and it was outstanding. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just the right balance of sweet and savory. My wife loved her chorizo breakfast burrito. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. We also shared a mimosa sampler, which was a lot of fun and a great way to try a variety of flavors. The service is always impressively fast and incredibly friendly, even when they’re busy. Prices are very reasonable, portions are just right, and the overall experience is consistently excellent. This is easily one of our favorite breakfast spots, and we’ll keep coming back.
This place was absolutely amazing for my first time going. It was extremely busy but we ended up just sitting at the bar and I'm so glad we did. Our server/bartender was absolutely amazing. I didn't catch his name to give him credit but to the hilarious guy who gave me a blue monkey before I left, you rock! The food was delicious, service time to receive the food wasn't long at all for as busy as this place was, and all the service people were extremely kind and friendly. I can't wait to go back again!
Chicken waffles are fire. They’re like spicy chicken and waffles but the chicken is good. The waffles are good, which is rare to have both be great at a restaurant. I was driving through Columbus on a road trip, and this is one of the stops that I had to make. Consistently a 10 out of 10.
