DK Diner

July 11th

My last day in the Columbus Ohio Region before I took the long ass drive back to Pennsylvania. I had chosen a bunch of diners to eat breakfast at since the Sheraton I stayed at in Columbus didn't include breakfast.

So I drove to DK Diner.  I thought the place looked cool with the lights on the patio.  So I put my name on the list and waited for a seat.  I sat out in the patio, the hostess was nice.

I ordered an omelet with bacon and cheese and fried potatoes, sounded good.  What I got was a big piece of egg folded over bacon and cheese.  They didn't bother to cut the bacon and gave me a butter knife to cut the bacon.  Thanks a lot.  Call me crazy but I thought an omelet had the ingredients in the actual omelet.  I liked the potatoes.

The diner had a unique feature in that the drinks were self serve. I got my first drink before my meal came to my small table.  When I was half-way through my meal I went to fill my drink.  When I came back my food was gone.  I saw a waitress and asked, "where's my food."  She said with a twinkle in her eye, that the my waitress had thought I was done with my food.  Thanks for asking if I was finished.  She yelled her name, she realized her mistake but still threw out my food, afterwards she came up to me to apologize and offered to have another omelet made but since I thought the omelet was lousy I declined.  Plus I was going to the Columbus Zoo after this and didn't feel like staying in an awkward situation.  So I told her I would take toast.  When she gave it to me I waited until she went inside the diner to leave since I didn't want to make a scene.  I thought the place had a cool vibe until this happened.

if you want the address, do a search on yelp.

ps. I should mention that I didn't have to pay the bill.
