Delaney’s Diner

Hello! I’m here to present a new review on Tyler’s Fry Thoughts. Where I went this previous weekend was to Delaney’s Diner, a diner in Westerville. Several years ago I did a review on this place, before the new name (and presumably, ownership). The location used to be called The Best Breakfast and Sandwiches, but that was several years ago, and this is now Delaney’s Diner. The food definitely has changed since then, from my perspective anyways, and due to this, it deserved a new review.

Address: 5916 Westerville Rd, Westerville, OH 43081

Cut: Straight Cut

Thickness: 5.5/10

Crispiness: 5/10

Salt/Seasoning: Moderate salt, no seasoning.

Price: $1.99/serving (two servings pictured)

So, the fries were very hot/fresh, I’m pretty sure they went straight from the deep fryer to my seat. Some potato skins present on the sides, and a pretty good salting on the fries, make for a nice flavor profile. The fries were cooked very well, crispy outside/flaky inside is very notable on these fries. Serving size is average for the price, filling without being an absolute buster of a plate. In general this is a notable change from the previous incarnation of this location. Long ago, this used to be a place that prioritized quantity, from the massive pancakes, to otherwise humongous portions. They’ve scaled that down quite a bit, to an experience that’s more balanced with an attempt at “better” food, if you can say that. At the bottom will be the link to the previous review of Best Breakfast, and you can make your own judgments (though I was *far* newer to writing these at that time). The general takeaway that these are Tee Jaye’s fries done right, I stand by though. Overall, a very good place to go get breakfast, with very good french fries as well.
