"Best French Toast EVER! I like diners but I love this place. Close your eyes and imagine what a small American diner should be... that's Stav's. When you walk in you'll notice some tables and a great counter with stools. Take a seat at the counter! All the cooking happens right in front of you—by Stav himself."

"I've been coming here for a while and the food is always fantastic—everything is made fresh to order and the flavors never disappoint. The breakfast is outstanding and you can't go wrong with any choice on the menu."

"Small diner with big taste. Stav does the cooking right behind the counter. Hash browns were perfect. Eggs were fresh and made just like home. Everything was good and they treated us so warmly. Staff know the regulars but treated us like old friends. Would stop again if in the area!"

"Everything a great diner should be. Timeless menu, daily specials, friendly staff, fresh coffee, plenty of regular customers and generally fast service. Without hesitation I can recommend French Toast, the Bagel Breakfast Sandwich, the Feta and Spinach Omelette and the best Hash Browns known to mankind."

"This has now moved up to my favorite diner in Columbus. So good. What's better than having a handsome guy cook you breakfast. Nothing. Stav is charming, great at what he does and so sincere. He greeted everyone as they walked in the door while he was cooking. Charlie is wonderfully awesome also."

"I ordered the straight-up plate of eggs, potatoes, and toast, and swapped out the side of meat for corned beef hash (which is made in-house). The hash was super crispy, which is obviously the best way to enjoy it. The omelets are well executed, with generous fillings."

"My husband and I stopped in to check out this diner on Sunday early afternoon. As soon as we walked in we knew we'd love it. Diner is small, but that makes it even more inviting. The owner was the only one on the open grill. Staff members stayed busy and attentive. They all seem to work well as a team."

"Stav's is a hidden gem. Stav's food is always 10/10. The breakfast is made to order and simply just fresh. I thoroughly enjoy the staff and the cooks! Today I ordered the Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich on Texas Toast, with a side order of hash browns. Absolutely delicious!"
