The special here has, in name, been a selection of donut-based menu items as long as this reviewer has been visiting Honey Dip. The donut bacon cheeseburger, the donut BLT, the donut sandwich, all variations on the theme of slicing a glazed donut in half and throwing a collection of sandwich-like ingredients in the middle. And though all of those feel like good one-time selections, the heart beat here is in the breakfast basics. The omelets, the pancakes and, my favorite, the classic American breakfast of eggs, toast, potatoes and meat selection. Diner food doesn’t get more fundamental and I have never been disappointed after ordering.
On the lunch side of things, the typical sandwich favorites can be found, from classic burger to a fried bologna sandwich. This reviewer frequents the cajun chicken gyro, one of many gyros to be found on the menu and always great. And if any room has been left for a pre- or post-meal donuts, it’s hard to beat any of the offerings but the apple fritters and long johns are personal favorites.
Honey Dip Donuts & Diner is a classic. Classic menu, classic combination of donut shop and diner, classic old-school feel of a community gathering spot serving coffee and breakfast all day to all ages. That the decades have continued to roll and Columbus around Honey Dip has evolved considerably only underscores the fact that Honey Dip is doing something right. Honey Dip is the go-to spot to grab a seat at the corner and order a timeless classic.
