HangOverEasy has come a long way since opening their first location on Neil Avenue in 2002! Back then they were originally named \u2013 wait for it \u2013 Nick\u2019s Diner<\/em>, before they renamed themselves in 2008. I first visited that year and loved it<\/a>, and have been back many times over the years. In that time, they\u2019ve added a second Columbus location on Parsons Avenue in 2019 and have expanded to two locations in Cincinnati, one in Perrysburg, and one in Athens. And now: they\u2019ve added a third local option in Dublin\u2019s Bridge Park!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

HangOverEasy has converted the former Kona Craft Kitchen space<\/a> into its signature modern diner look, with a coffee and grab-and-go counter, long booths down the space, and signage that reminds you, \u201cBreakfast Cures All.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The abrupt closure of Kona Craft Kitchen in the fall of 2023 left a breakfast-sized hole in Bridge Park\u2019s dining offerings. The neighborhood covers lunch, dinner, and brunch very nicely, but an early breakfast option was lacking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

True to its origins as a campus-adjacent breakfast dive, HangOverEasy leans in with risqu\u00e9-sounding dish names, plenty of plays on their initials of HOE, and music posters on the wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This location is unique in that they offer a full coffee bar with brewed coffee, espresso drinks, cold brew, Vietnamese coffees, and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Bonus points for sourcing their beans from One Line Coffee<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

And for fresh-squeezing their juices daily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve always had great breakfasts at HOE, and our first visit to Dublin was no exception!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We started with the Cider House Rules<\/strong>, a trio of baked apple cider donuts with a very earthy Aleppo pepper chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I\u2019ve long been a fan of their chicken and waffles<\/strong>. They get a buttermilk and hot sauce marinade before being served with Milligan\u2019s maple syrup and thyme butter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Hard to argue with their omelets, like this Philly omelet<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Or the HOE benny<\/strong> layered with eggs, chorizo, avocado, cheese, and pico de gallo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I loved the Classic Bodega<\/strong> breakfast sandwich: an everything bun loaded with scrambled egg, bacon, American cheese, and a remoulade. I especially loved the HOE fries. This, my friends, is how to do home fries. Not these pre-diced little cubes, but big chunks of potatoes with crispy golden edges and proper seasoning. It reminded me of the potatoes at my hometown joint, Real Food Cafe<\/a> in Grand Rapids, Michigan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

One of the standouts, though, was the Lox Around the Clock<\/strong>. It\u2019s unique to the Dublin HangOverEasy and features smoked salmon, served with egg salad on an everything bagel, plus boursin, whipped cream cheese, giardiniera, and pickled red onion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I appreciate the grab-and-go options, too, from coffee and pastries to quick breakfast sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cBreakfast Cures All\u201d indeed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
