Sometimes, simplicity is key, and that’s why this local diner and cafe has been winning awards for their no-frills breakfasts and lunch since 1989. 35 years later, Scotty’s Cafe is still that go-to spot for simple yet incredible breakfast platters and deli sandwiches as big as your head. And not only is it a staple here in Columbus, but it’s actually considered the sixth best independently owned restaurant in the entire United States, according to a study by OnDeck, who used thousands of Yelp reviews to compile this data.
