We got to the DK Diner at brunch time. There was a line waiting for a table. We were not greeted on arrival and were not aware that we needed to track down the host to put our name on the wait list until we saw other diners arriving after us do so. Not a big deal since we weren’t in a huge hurry. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated and the server was at our table quickly to take our order and point out the self-serve beverage service area. I went to prepare our beverages and our made to order meals followed a few minutes later. My wife ordered a Turkey Club accompanied by crispy, hot fries. I ordered a Spanish Omelette filled with sausage, onions, green peppers, and a sparse amount of cheese. The omelette came with potatoes and dry rye toast. My coffee was hot and not too strong. I like it that way. I’m pretty sure I got the DK Diner House Blend. We both agreed the food was four star good. The service was prompt and friendly until our meals were served and then disappeared. Another server asked us after we finished eating if we were done and brought us our check. The diner is pretty run down physically inside and out. Parking is limited and maneuvering very tight. The service seems to favor regular diners who know the routine. Fair enough. Would we eat there again? I suppose if we were in the area we would.

We were in town on vacation from Kansas and chose DK Diner for breakfast because of its long history, early 6 a.m. opening, and its proximity to our VRBO.
We arrived at opening, and the place was pretty quiet — which made it easy to overhear the staff grumbling (a little loudly) about a coworker. Understandable early-morning frustration, but not really something you want to hear over breakfast, especially while on vacation. It’s kind of a pet peeve of ours (that kind of behind-the-scenes chatter feels unprofessional.) Guests really shouldn’t have to hear it.
The hash was awesome! It is really flavorful and unique without being too spicy. It was the highlight of our meal.
The French toast was a letdown and honestly something we could’ve made better at home. The donuts, which we were most excited for, didn’t taste fresh. They were tough, a bit stale, and way too sweet. We sampled both an apple fritter and a sour cream donut; unfortunately, neither one was tasty and sadly, didn’t live up to the DK (donut kitchen) hype.
We’d come back just for the hash, but we’d skip the sweets next time. Seating inside is limited (it filled up fast) and parking is tight, but there’s some street parking and covered outdoor seating.

Cute local diner. Very quick service. Self service drinks. Had the French toast. It was quite disappointing. 2 small pieces of toast cut in half. Came with bacon but I was still starving afterwards. Toast itself was nothing special. Donut sandy was a better choice for my partner.

What a cute little diner. Tucked away in the neighborhood with not much parking , it’s still worth checking out. You get complimentary, serve yourself coffee and donuts while waiting . There’s a wide variety of things to make your coffee exactly how you love it. The menu is small but filled with yummy favorites. Prices are comparable to most places now, fairly cheap I’d even say. Everything was delicious and served pretty quickly. The service was great and we will definitely be back

I have been looking for a good, classic diner in Columbus for a while now and this is exactly that! From the self serve coffee bar to the delicious pancakes made with their donut batter, this place truly has it all. We tried the blueberry pancakes, breakfast tacos, the jam, and a side of potatoes all the way. Everything we so yummy and hit the spot. The atmosphere both inside and outside really makes this place unique and I will 100% be coming back!! Also, not to mention, the donuts are delicious!!! I tried a traditional glazed, and it was the softest, pillowiest donut Ive ever tried. It’s a must try.

Great breakfast experience in Columbus. We were trying to check out Dan the baker but they were closed Google sent us to do and it was worth while. I recommend the donut breakfast Sammy ( get sausage instead of bacon. 5 out of 5.

This small diner is located in the heart of Grandview, OH on the corner of 3rd Avenue. The food is pretty good, but be prepared for a wait due to limited seating. Beverages are self-serve, and there’s often a long line at the cashier when paying for your ticket. DK is known for their large size donuts but I wasn’t impressed with the donuts at all.
Management needs to work on adding another pay station or fixing the QR code payment option so customers don’t have to wait 20 plus minutes to pay for their meal.

Service was quick with the food and staff was nice. All drinks are self serve which makes it hard when you have small kids with you. The food was mediocre, there wasn’t any seasoning on the sides, not even salt on the chips which threw me off (no biggie can put it on myself), the tuna melt was blah, and the soup was luke warm, but if I go back I think the breakfast looked better. Also to add to the fun, they ran out of vinegar, forks, and cups while we were there so had to make due.
