Starliner Diner – Hilliard – Menu – Prices $4-9. While not referred to as “brunch”, Starliner’s breakfast experience is unique and memorable. Their Huevos Rancheros are renowned and their pancakes challenge the appetites of Joey Chesnutt and Maru Kobayashi. A favorite pastime of Cbus foodies and Hilliard locals.
Where is Surly Girls on this list? I go to their brunch before Bodegas
Timely. Planning brunch now.
For purely ridiculous amounts of food, I’d put the 94th Aero on that list too. Really, for all you can eat crab legs alone, its worth the trip!
whole world in clintonville has an awesome brunch on sundays!
Just got back from Sage. It is tHe YUM!!!
As a matter of fact, I just got back from Starliner. Crab quesadilla for me, Machaca for hubby. Deeeelish, but I may not eat again until tomorrow!
Planning on TipTop if I can get off work early enough.
Great list, it touches on all of my favorite brunch spots. Although, Surly Girl is sorely absent. It’s pretty high on my list of favorites and I probably go there more often than anywhere else for brunch. It’s hard to go wrong with breakfast and a bit of southwestern flair thrown in for good measure.
Additionally, Surly has three degrees of Bloody Marys, with the Psycho Mary being the best.
Did Tip Top for brunch today. Tasty!
Not just Surly Girl absent, but Betty’s as well.
Yep, too many brunch options to count. I started with 10. Sounds like it would be pretty easy to make another list of another 10 good spots. ;) Keep the ideas comin!
We did the Lyndey’s brunch yesterday on the patio. I always forget about the patio there. Probably one of the best in the city and the food is always incredible.
We need to do Lindey’s sometime for brunch, but we always get sidetracked by Banana Bean.
Don’t forget Spagio; they have a great brunch menu.
Starliner Diner has THE best brunch in town. There is not a bad thing on the menu!
sounds like a brunch of options to me…
Victorian’s Midnight Cafe’ is also an option with homemade fresh breakfasts all day long. You can even get a Bloody Vicky (Mary), Mimosa or Bailey’s Irish Coffee to help ease the pain of the night before… :) Under new management and renovated. http://www.victoriansmidnightcafe.com
This is a great list! I’d like to add DK Diner and Marshalls to this list. Two great Grandview locations. DK Diner has wonderful neighborhood patio to enjoy a great breakfast. And Marshalls has some of the best/largest omelettes I’ve had. The crab cake omellette is lights out.
