Katalina’s
1105 Pennsylvania Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 / more info
If you haven’t been to Katalina’s yet, you’ve yet to experience some of the greatest breakfast and lunch foods in Columbus. Seriously. Ever had a pancake ball? Didn’t think so. Katalina’s really did that. Their “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Sammy,” is loaded with spicy southern-fried Gerber chicken breast, topped with Amish cheddar, and then nestled between two pieces of brioche french toast with a dusting of cinnamon, powdered sugar, and then evenly coated in maple syrup. Don’t knock it til you try it. Their menu will have you coming back for more and make you even more of a bruncher than ever before.
Bristol Republic
1124 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201 / more info
On Sundays, we wear brunch. Wait – what?
Anyways. Well, Bristol Republic does brunch on Sundays and we are here. for. it. Order one of their many brunch cocktails and have a laugh about all the people who aren’t brunching like you, ha! Poor, poor non-brunching people. You may also consider getting the cinnamon rolls for the table, for obvious reasons. The Cowboy Benedict is a fun take on the traditional eggs Benedict, and it’ll have you saying, “yeehaw” real quick.
Goodale Station
77 E Nationwide Blvd, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
We’re getting classy over here, brunch bb’s. Goodale Station is a slay when it comes to brunch. Make sure you show up during their designated brunch window on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am – 3pm. They’ve got everything from Egg White Frittatas, to a Brunch Burger – and their flavor profiles are worthy of a chef kiss. Not to mention, you’ll be brunching with a view of the Columbus Skyline. You can choose to sit on their rooftop patio, or inside in their romantic dining setting.
Kona Grill Columbus
4087 New Bond St #502, Columbus, OH 43219 / more info
Sometimes, all you need is weekend brunch and a “Konamosa.” From 10am – 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays, Kona Grill is serving up brunch classics like; Eggs Benedict, Steak and Eggs, and The All American Omelette. They’ve also got incredible sweet treats like Macadamia Nut French Toast, Carrot Cake, and Butter Cake. Sheesh, talking about all of this gave us a bad case of the brunch sweats.
RH Rooftop Restaurant
4120 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219 / more info
We got classy once, and we’ll get classy again if it means we have an excuse to head to the Rooftop at RH – especially if brunch is involved. If you haven’t been to RH Rooftop, it’s an amazing spot for a date, (but we’re currently talking about brunch so – make it a brunch date). The New York Lox gives us mega brunch feels, as well as their Délice De Bourgogne Cheese with strawberry preserves and a warm baguette. The RH Peach Bellini is a must – take it from us.
The Pearl
641 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
The Pearl is a Columbus staple, and so are their Old Fashioned Deviled Eggs. We don’t want to give away too much, but you have to order them so you can see how they’re plated. Their brunch menu has more to offer than just deviled eggs; like their Jalapeño Corn Spoon Bread with local honey and their Tavern Citrus Salad.
Worthington Tavern
671 High St, Worthington, OH 43085 / more info
From 10am – 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays, Worthington Tavern does one heck of a brunch. Pair any of their brunch plates with a coffee, mimosa, or orange juice (plus more)! Their Hearth-baked Frittata and Bananas Foster waffle are obvious winners, but you can’t go wrong with the Egg Sandwich or Breakfast Burrito either. Worthington Tavern just gets us.
The Guild House
624 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
Goodness Gracious me – The Guild House, everybody. The interior of the Guild House definitely gives a wow-factor, but so does their brunch. Usher in brunch-time hours with a lemon tonic, and then place an order for the Truffled Eggs to experience a beautiful punch of flavor. Their Pancakes with lemon curd and maple syrup will steal the show though, so be prepared for that.
Forno Kitchen + Bar
721 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215 / more info
Say goodbye to breakfast and lunch and say hello to brunch at Forno Kitchen + Bar. Forno has a well-rounded brunch menu and that makes us feel all kinds of brunch butterflies. Is that normal? They even have a Breakfast Pizza with three eggs, fontina, roasted garlic pancetta, and brussels sprouts. A couple fan-favorites would have to be their Nutella-stuffed French Toast and their Chicken and Waffles.
Ethyl & Tank
19 E 13th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 / more info
Oh, yes. Ethyl & Tank, we love you. You absolutely must order the Savory Breakfast Balls with potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, eggs, and green onions. It’s reminiscent of all kinds of happy things… we can’t explain it. Their Waffle Fries, Tater Tot Skillet, and Breakfast Quesadilla are all honorable mentions as well.
