Linden Café

In the words of Job Bluth — «I’ve made a huge mistake.»
I went for chicken and waffles with my friends this morning — I should have gotten the chicken and waffles. I was turned off, because well, that’s weird — to you know put chicken on waffles and I wasn’t feeling adventurous this morning. I got the pancakes — which I weren’t worth anything.
But I decided to try Jon R’s chicken and waffles — oh my goodness, they were DIVINE! Like I said, I was the only person who didn’t get them and I ended up paying for it. Stupid pancakes.
Lovely place, but man, the food all came out at weird times. Like one person would get the waffles and then 10 minutes later, another person would, and then 5 minutes later the third person would get there’s. Be prepared to leave etiquette at the door — if you’re in a group of six or more people, it’ll take a half an hour for everyone to get their food… so no waiting till everyone gets their plate. The chef did come over and apologize for it though.
It will definitely be four stars when I come back for their chicken and waffles. Ridiculously amazing.

I visited this place while visiting a friend in Columbus. We went on a Saturday morning and it was 4 of us. It took forever for the waitess to get to us. She was by herself which I couldnt understand because it was Saturday morning and most people go out for breakfast then.
The first negative was they were out of things on the menu. I ordered the chicken strips with waffles but they were out of chicken strips. So the waitress suggested chicken wings as substitute. I like wings so it wasnt a big deal until she brought out TERADACTYL wings lol. The wings were huge and didnt taste well. They were seasoned good but huge wings arent good at all. The waffles were tasty along with the eggs and potatoes.
The place is in a nice location. It appears to be in development. The area used to be much worst.
If they step up the service and menu items. This will be a gem in Columbus.

Terrible experience today. Unattentive service that didn’t get better until it was too late, out of sweet tea — that then took ten minutes to brew. Tea wasn’t going to be ready til five minutes after my meal was brought out so I canceled and ordered apple juice. Brought it to my table with a half bucket of ice in the glass. No sour cream for my omelet, everything took longer than it should’ve (the place is nearly always empty). Had to ask for ketchup twice. Ugh. So depressing I can’t even form complete sentences.

Chicken & Waffles!!! You should totally check this place out! We tried both the chicken wings and chicken tenders. Normally don’t like tenders as a part of C&W but they are both freshly battered with their own tasty batter and are super moist! Yum! To top it all off our server was super sweet– as sweet as the ice tea!

Based on the number of reviews, you’d never know this place existed. But it’s only open for breakfast and lunch and is in a really lousy part of town so that explains part of it. But the food isn’t all bad. I had two eggs and ham, and toast. The eggs were well cooked and the ham was good. The service was good too. I’ll have to go back. But not real soon. ;)
p. s. My 300^th review!
