    I really like a local place and I love a good diner. I discovered this diner while in the area after doing a Google search for recommended restaurants. The reviews were good, so we gave it a try. This place had character, the staff was friendly, and it was very clean. The food was reasonably priced and we both enjoyed what we ate. I would recommend this place and will likely try it again. The warm fresh made biscuit was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the local cold brew coffee from a beer bottle. Next time we go, we're getting dessert.

    Had the Louisiana pasta and the blue cheese c kettle chips. Very good food, great prices, nice staff. The menu is small but offers something for every diet. I will be a returning customer.

    This is a little slice of heaven on earth. Growing up me and my friends would go here all the time, and the service and food was always amazing. Last night was no different! Thank you all for being a part of this community for so long! Wildflower cafe is one of the places that makes Columbus great and you will be missed.

    One of my favorite places to go in columbus. I have been going here for almost 20 years and the food is fantastic. It is the cutest little place for breakfast and has the best burgers for dinner or lunch. They also have amazing fish and chips as a special and their fries are to die for. Always go if you have a chance.

    Good service, good food. Veggie burger and Reuben pair surprisingly well.

    Wait staff was great! Food was fresh and delicious, seasoned well, having my leftovers for lunch today!

    The food was mediocre. The biscuits were so dry that you needed a couple glasses of water just to swallow the biscuits. The redskin potatoes were so hard they made my gums bleed. The only thing good was the mac & cheese. I saw my waitress three times, once to bring me water, second to bring me a drink, and the third time to bring me my food. Haven't seen her since. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes and no-one has stopped by to see if I wanted a fresh drink or if everything was okay. I NEED ANOTHER DRINK. THE BUSCUITS ARE CHOKING ME!

    Wildflower Cafe is a nice liitle place tucked into the busy area of North Clintonville. We had lunch on a Friday afternoon amd had no trouble getting a table. I got the Club sandwich that was delicious and my dining companion had the burger which was huge! Lindsay, our server was wonderful as was all the staff we encountered. I will have to return soon for the Southern Fried Chicken Special (Saturday's only).

    Delicious handmade food with exceptional service. The biscuits and gravy with homemade biscuits. Made from scratch pierogis were amazing.

    Full order biscuits and gravy at Columbus institution Wildflower Cafe. These biscuits are the bomb! Two large biscuits, halved, nice and crispy on the outside as you can see, nice and fluffy on the inside (#perfectlybalanced #thanos ). Gravy could have been hotter at service, or plate could have been heated - gravy got cold before I could finish 😪

    Went during lunch so it was busy. Food was decent. service was slow but the server was friendly. Apple pie was the perfect size.

    Extremely limited breakfast menu 1pm Saturday; however, the bacon, eggs, fried potatoes were DELICIOUS! Great service, waitress cheerful & excellent! Really cute place!

    The best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Maybe best ever. Real mashed potatoes. Yummy Mud Pie. Barbie was a rock star server!! Excellent experience.

    Everything about this place is amazing. I feel like it's practically been around my whole life but it really hasn't changed much, the last time I went was over 10 years ago and we just went this weekend for brunch. We were immediately seated, I know this place is usually so busy you have to wait. The parking lot is small and a little hard to get out of but it's worth it. The Benedicts are wonderful, the waitresses are warm, friendly, and seem to honestly want you to have a good experience. We will be back.

    I’d love to leave a better review but, unfortunately I can’t. This was our second time attempting a visit. The first time same server and same seat, food was really good service was good as well. This time we pull up same server is wiping off tables on the patio, we walk over and sit at the same table as our last visit. Server sticks her head out of the door and says “Are you wanting to dine in?” We reply, “Yes please!” She walks back out moments later and throws our menus on the table and walks away. 😳 So I walk inside and ask her if we did something wrong by sitting down at a table. She says “No but I didn’t say anything to you so” ... that’s exactly the point. I love supporting locally owned restaurants, my advice is when you have almost zero customers in your restaurant. Might want to make new comers feel welcome. Throwing menus at people definitely isn’t how you start off service.

    Its a super cute cafe with amazing food and drinks. The staff is super friendly. It was fast without feeling rushed. The patio is beautiful! I can't wait to eat there again!

    Nice, cozy, inexpensive cafe. Very popular with the locals. There are options for vegetarians. There are specials in the weekends. Definitely recommend the breakfast burritos!

    The biscuits were very dry and the chicken lacked flavor. The only thing that was good was the mac & cheese. Took a glass of water just to get a bite of biscuit down. I kept chocking. I saw my waitress 2X, first time to bring me water, second time to bring me food. No one asked if I wanted a refill or if everything was okay.
