Part 2 of Exploring the Food Scene in the Trackside District

Starting our day in Downtown Columbus with a breakfast favorite, we head to Reeders 11th Street Grub and Pub. This family owned establishment beckons with its epic breakfast menu, ensuring early risers start their day on a delicious note. Their hours of operation are Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Another fantastic spot for breakfast and lunch is the Picket Fence Cafe, located at 2714 13th St. This charming cafe, with its cozy country decor and iconic white picket fence, is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Start your day with classic breakfast options like hashbrowns, pancakes, sausage, ham or bacon, breakfast burritos, a variety of toast, and five different egg preparations. Their omelets and skillets are also crowd-pleasers. For lunch, choose from a range of salads, specialty sandwiches, or a classic burger. You can also add one of several different sidekicks, or go for heartier fare like the hot beef sandwich, chicken fried steak sandwich, or fish and chips. Oh did we forget to mention their homemade soup of the day? If you can't find something you like on their extensive menu, you're not looking hard enough!

Established circa 1876 as the Bucher Saloon, Glur's Tavern holds the title of the oldest continuously operated tavern west of the Missouri River. This historic establishment, once frequented by William "Buffalo Bill" Cody in the 1880s and early 1900s, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Renowned for its famous burgers at reasonable prices, Glur's Tavern remains a cherished landmark in the heart of Columbus.
