Skillet

Top choice in Ohio


This teeny restaurant in German Village serves rustic, locally sourced brunch fare. The menu changes, but you might fill a plate with griddled cinnamon rolls or braised pork cheeks with gravy and grits. It's almost always crowded, and you can't make reservations. On weekends you can call ahead (30 minutes before you arrive) and put your name on the wait list.
