Sam &Ethel's is the perfect mom and pop dinner. It is a very friendly environment from the moment you walk in and get seated to the moment you leave. The workers there take pride in what they do and appear to love their jobs. The food is beyond amazing, with really good prices too! It's one of the most affordable places in town to eat. My family will always choose this over any big cooperate restaurant any-day!

Good good - service was terribly slow. I would come back in hopes of faster service. No one wants to sit around for 45 minutes for a coffee and omelet.

You can't get better food than at Sam & Ethel's! Their silver dollar pancakes are as big as a pancake anywhere else. And it is $1.25!! My husband always has the corned beef hash! Very good!

Fantastic service and the food was delicious. Could not even fathom how affordable this place was compared to Columbus prices. Highly recommend this old fashioned diner if you want a casual, but delicious, experience.

Small town diner. Food is always great. Don't expect to get foie gras, You're getting biscuits and gravy. Service is great and quick.
