Chef’s House

Food was good. Down home diner feel and comfortable atmosphere. Food was decently priced and the server was very nice. Me and my wife ordered breakfast food for dinner so we were excited. My omelet was good and my wife had french toast. We will definitely come again.

This was my second time trying out this restaurant. The first time I dined in and most recently ordered take out. I ordered the traditional gyro both times. The sandwiches were good and portion size was average but the fries were not good at all. They very burnt and maybe cooked in old grease. Would consider visiting the restaurant again but they need to work on the overall meal.

Ordered reuben for lunch. Picked up order and they left off the dressing. Course now I am stuck at work with a reuben that is not a reuben. Out come the ketchup packets and mayo. This made it worse. On top of that I called ahead and the order was not ready. I ended up being 3 minutes late. Happy Friday.

This is a great local restaurant that has great food! Don’t waste your money on chain restaurants who’s food tastes like plastic, come here and eat great food for a great price with Great Service! The staff smiles and are very friendly. You’re served fast and the food is amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back here often. I wish I could give it 100 starts!

I’m not sure how this place has so many five stars? I guess compared to a frozen meal or an MRE it might be good.
This is the only place I’ve been served sausage gravy that had the consistency of chicken noodle soup.
Obviously food standards are very low these days.

This diner is very close to my house but this was only my third time eating here. The first was many years ago, for lunch, I think. No real memory of the food. The second time was about a month ago and I got the fish ‘n chips special (I think it was a Friday night). The fish was terribly overcooked and the fries were forgettable frozen. The service was fine. The owner lady who runs the register was confused by the 10% off Unilocal check-​in coupon. She got another woman to help.
The third time was yesterday morning for breakfast. Another diner in town was very busy and we didn’t want to wait so we stopped here and although it was full, we only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be cleaned off. My breakfast was very good. They apparently like to serve «double-​yolk» eggs because it is on the menu a few times. I had eggs, home fries, bacon (which I removed from the plate for my husband and granddaughter to eat), and french toast. Our server was sweet and very efficient. My husband warned me not to bother with the 10% Unilocal check-​in offer (which popped up again) because it wasn’t worth the hassle. :-)
I think I would return for a good, traditional breakfast.

After a long day at the Columbus zoo, We were looking for something different To Eat. We saw this place and decided to give it a try. We are very glad we did. Amazing food, everyone in our party complimented how good the food was. All the entrees came out HOT and were delicious! Highly recommended!

I don’t know if the Chef’s house has always been lacking or this bad. I’d like to think not. However I have no basis for this hope. The place was opened in 1989 by a Greek family, however the menu is anything but Greek. That’s not the problem. Who is not a fan of breakfast, and American brunches?. Other reviews talk about great food. I haven’t seen it here. Lets say I picked the bad food. For whatever its worth, I used to be a Hilliard resident so naturally I gave it a shot. I ordered the $ 12 steak entrée which looked like a cheap wal-​mart cut for a buck fifty. It was so thin and chewy with a fat bubble towards the edge, a sign of not so good quality of meat. I ordered it medium but it came rare or more like undercooked. Actually it was so bloody I’d describe it as uncooked. They put it back on the grill and came out well done. The problem is it’s too thin there’s no such thing as medium option. It’s either raw or burned. The service was also lacking and the whole place had one waitress who did not seem to be in a hurry.
I was not convinced that it was this terrible so thought to give it another shot on a weekend brunch. Walked into the restaurant at 1:40PM (sign says it closes at 2PM) and they refused to seat me saying that they’re now closed (20 mins before actual closing time). Patrons were still seated eating. I was not mad or anything. i simply thanked them and walked out… So there goes their opportunity to be redeemed.
I like supporting local independent shops and mom and pop businesses but Chef’s House needs to brush up their Chef’s cooking skills.

We waited one hour for a Reuben and a hot open faced roast beef sandwich. We watched nearly every table turn and waited and waited. Complained to the manager and he did nothing. No discount. No comp dessert. Just said they made it from scratch. A roast beef? Really? Tasted good but not worth the wait and the management needs to learn how to delight customers.

Awesome place to grab breakfast or a burger! Love the mom and pop places!
I’ve been here three times now and had nothing but great service.
The bacon burger is really good!
My fav is breakfast, fluffy pancakes, eggs bacon and hashbrowns! You can’t go wrong!

I am always in search for a home cooked style restaurant, living in the city that’s hard to find. I ate here for the first and fell in love their food is probably the best I’ve had. It was AMAZING :)

When you watch travel shows there are always these unique places that makes a great meal that makes you wish you had a grandparent who could cook like this. Chef House is like this and provide a really wonderful menu along with crave-​able daily specials.
Not only is the food great but the staff who works there is friendly and attentive. Comfort food is a wonderful thing.

The food here was good. It gave a very homey atmosphere, but it felt a little tight. I would like more comfortable booths. Also, the restroom was disgustingly dirty. The staff was friendly, but nothing to write home about.

I’ve got to raise my rating an extra star for Chef’s house.
If you’re searching for breakfast in Hilliard, then this is your spot. Once again I got suckered into my usually ‘Breakfast Pita’ or Breakfast Gyro and it was pretty filling and had me going ‘Mmmmm.‘
What bumped it up for me is their unusually cooked style of hashbrowns. They were’t the typical out of the bag shredded/​grated potatoes so many places and chains use. You could tell they prepped them in-​house.
Service was prompt and the food came out hot and in a timely manner.
The tab was fairly cheap and around average, but cheaper than a trip a Bob Evans.
File this under a good, cheap place for breakfast in Hilliard.

Always great service! So friendly and nice. The food is great — their tzatziki sauce is the best. I love the Denver omelet with feta and tzatziki. Very good gyros as well. Love this place! The coffee could be better, with such a great breakfast menu though!

This is my go-​too place for Liver and Onions. Not a bad job. However, their service is very slow and as others’ have posted, you sometimes feel ignored. It’s not like they have a packed house, either. A good, basic restaurant with good choices.

our family enjoys eating here for breakfast (although their lunch is good, too). staff is friendly and the food is tasty.
my favorite dish is the breakfast gyro. the only thing I would change is their coffee; it tends to be on the weak side.

Ended up here because of long wait at a few other breakfast spots in the area. The hostess took us to a table that was «ready» however it was still dirty, we stood there waiting for her to come back to clean it, she never returned. Finally the waitress came over after we stood there in the middle of the restaurant for what felt like forever and took the dirty dishes and left over food away.
Never mind the bad service, it was also hands down the worst meal I’ve ever had. The fries were obviously from a frozen bag and way under cooked. Our meal took over 40 minutes to arrive and was not warm, we both order basic breakfast staples (eggs, toast, my boyfriend got sausage) the sausage patty tasted like it was spoiled and was brought out cold, the eggs were rubbery and probably from a a box.
To top off the dinning experience when I asked a waitress to lower the blinds because a glare from a car outside was shinning in my eyes I was basically ignored. I will obviously never go back again when there are so many amazing places to eat in and around Columbus that also have amazing service.

My visit here this morning with my gf was a bad experience, food was luke warm, took about 45 minutes for our breakfast to get to the table. We were both starving, so we ate it, but it would have been a 2 star visit, but my gf was being blinded by the sun, so she asked the waitress to close the blinds a bit. Waitress goes over to the blinds, looks at it puzzled and leaves, never shut them.
Needless to say, we wont be spending our $ here again.

Stepping into this place with its wood paneling surrounding a sea of booths is like stepping back in time.
Right now I’m giving it a four with the perfectly cooked Liver and Onions I got. YES! I order liver. Many places (if you’re lucky to find it) can’t cook it right. Chef’s was soft and buttery. Great mashed potatoes and gravy too. One friend had breakfast-​perfectly cooked over-​easy eggs. Another a Greek Salad. The small was pretty big.
They have a dessert case and I THINK it’s full of Just Pies slices, with a few other desserts mixed in. I did not indulge for I hopped across the street to Crumbz Cakery and got a cupcake.
This hidden Hilliard gem with it’s extensive menu and friendly staff is definitely worth checking out.
