First time we were there and wont be the last. Had breakfast, couldnt believe the portions. My husband had a burger and it was huge....
Staff courteous, friendly and attentive to your refills of coffee! Fast super good food. Food is made opposite the counter on a long grill.
Home cooking at its finest. Great fried bologna sandwich.
Their Billy Bob breakfast is very good. It gets crowded on Saturday morning.
Good home town food, friendly people. Go on a slow time or you might have to wait a bit
1st time there and service was wonderful and fast. Food was delicious!!
Dee and crew are always welcoming and food is always hot and quick and fresh
One of the best restaurants in town. Extremely friendly staff that does an amazing job. Great selection on the menu and you cant beat the prices either.
BEHOLD, The Billy Bob. Best breakfast food ever. I could eat this everyday.
Best breakfast in town .Try the Billy bob
GREAT quaint diner, with unbelievably low prices & hearty portions. Even when busy, they are adequately staffed to make sure you dont see the bottom of your coffee cup. Treat yourself to this local favorite when youre in the area!
We absolutely love this authentic diner every time we come into Celina! On a recent Friday we ordered the Walleye special for lunch, which came with their own homemade slaw, crispy fries and two crispy pieces of Walleye! Just fab, and so was the price. The servers were friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is very cool with mid-century modern booths and furnishings. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
This is my favorite home town restaurant! Cant go wrong if you order anything on the menu. Fast friendly service with a great atmosphere.
My coworkers and myself, have frequent the Fountain for break and lunch and I must say, I have had great dining experience. The food is to die for, the customer service is top notch. If your looking for a go to spot for some good comfort food this is the place.
Great little diner to grab breakfast in the beautiful Celina Square by the courthouse.
Great diner. Staff friendly and attentive. Weve been their a dozen times or so. Food very nice. Price friendly for sure. Enjoy.
If you are looking for one of those Hallmark movie restaurants this is perfect. Small town feel with the best food and prices that are affordable for all. The staff is very friendly and place is super cute. While the breakfast is my favorite, the fresh hamburgers and bakery buns are also a treasure. If you havent tried this place, what are you waiting for??
Really enjoyed the breakfast great hours for the early bird
The Fountain Restaurant is awesome!!! we ate there for the first time while staying in Celina Ohio for the weekend their staff was very friendly the food was excellent the price was very fair will definitely be eating there again next time were there
Service was quick and food was phenomenal. Small restaurant with good vibes and good people.
Excellent service & food very quickly
One of those places you almost hate to make public. Great quality service and food everyday. Value? Inflation has not hit here since probably the 90s. Where else can you have two full breakfast meals drinks and give a generous tip for less than $20? Wish everytown had one
Great food, excellent service.
Excellent service, friendly customers, delicious food, great prices.You really cant go wrong with this place!
Everything was excellent. The staff was so friendly. The food was amazing. I will definitely be going back.
My kids and I really enjoy eating here. The hotcakes are generously sized, and my son likes to order them with a side of bacon. I enjoy the omelets, several to choose from. Never been disappointed. Go for the 3rd egg, its worth it. Good food in a mom and pop style diner. Check the hours before you stop in. They open early for breakfast and close in the afternoon.
Good food I love it there nice people who wait on you and no your order went you walk in
Great prices and awesome food! Very friendly atmosphere!
This is a friendly small town eatery that serves great food with generous portions. Many local residents eat here on a regular basis. You wont make a bad choice on anything you order!!
The Fountain is a hidden gem! The food is very good and the prices are exceptional!The restaurant has a small town atmosphere complete with friendly staff and a feeling of community!We will definitely be returning whenever we are in the area!
Amazing place old fashioned but amazing food fast service friendly staff and a easy to use menu I highly recommend checking it out if your in the area!
Dont ask for a glass of ice tea. It not fresh brewed and nasty. They don’t have lemons! But so far the service is great! No sourdough. At lest the plats are not plastic! The cheese is not real cheese and the Hash-browns are under cooked. It was a stretch giving then tow stars. But the service was great! At lest there not to expensive
It was food. Nothing too impressive. Much of it seemed prepacked and bland. Had hoped for so much more from a little dinner at breakfast. Sausage gravy was slightly bland and it not contain any sausage. Scrambled eggs where a very thin flat sheet, almost as if they just pour eggs in a pan and bake a batch of all of breakfast result flat sheet of egg vs the fluffy bites of egg I could have gotten for the same price at a chain restaurant.
Billy Bob is my favorite! Today I tried the scuttlebutt and I would of liked it better with the homemade fried potatoes instead of the hash brown patties. Friendly people and great prices!
Good food. Fast and friendly service. Great price.
Great service, and really great prices. Just a simple diner that you might drive right by. Its definitely a hidden gem in Celina!
Great breakfast at a great price. This is our go to for bfast when we come to the lake. We order to go but what ive seen of the staff they are freindly and helpfull.
There food was amazing and so cheap. Not only is it like stepping back in time when you walk in, you open up that menu and you will be floored that the prices are back in time also! Staff was also amazing..
Love the menu, the atmosphere and the customer service was awesome. We will definitely be returning.
The Fountain restaurant is a great local place to eat. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. The food comes out at a decent time also. It is small, but a must sometime while you are in Celina. I have been here many times for breakfast and had working meetings here also. The omelettes are really good at this restaurant. Come to Celina and check out the Fountain.
Delightful environment, great food. We are here twice, deluxe bacon cheese burger and their blt. Both were amazing. Food is simply delicious, portions are smaller, but so is the price. Overall really good food.
Everytime I come to the fountain. I always get great service amazing time on food. Dont get me started on the food it was soo good. Nice and fresh. I recommend coming here all the time for a nice meal
Amazing food and superb service
Good place to eat people are nice and friendly there go place to eat and the prices are reasonable there good food and good people
Great service!!! Great food!!!
Great little dinerMy burger was cooked perfectly and the chili was delicious. Wife said the peach pie was frickin awesome
Delicious, very affordable and fast service. They were able to accommodate our party of 15 with ease.
The Best little restaurant! Great food. Great prices. The owner is one of the most community minded people I have met.My favorite place to go out to eat!
Always a must stop when in Celina. The best service you can ever ask for. This is truly a one of a kind restaurant. Everyone inside is always happy, everyone says Hi. And to top it off, the food is great. Just ask my son who says These are the best fries in the world. Cant get much better then that. Also, note, the best breakfast food you will find is right here at The Fountain in Celina, Ohio!
You find the best food in the most unexpected places. This is one of those places! Service was fast and friendly, food was delicious! And theyre so cheap!Expect to wait if going on the weekend but the wait goes fast and well worth it. Locals know about this place but I think every traveller should know as well.No evening hours, opens at 4:30am, closes early afternoon.
Met out of town family there. They enjoyed the menu and the staffs attentiveness.
Very fast and friendly service. Two of us ate a full breakfast with coffee for less than $20, and the food was great. It only took about 15 minutes from the time we sat down to order AND have our food brought out. I would go back if we are ever in town again.
A mom & Pop style diner. They are only open in mornings and afternoons. Their food is pretty average but they have really cheap prices which is a plus! I would say that their food is actuslly pretty good for what you pay. You are not going to get any extra thrills here, but it is the type of place where if you come regularly, the same employees always working will learn your name!The main thing I would improve if I owned it, is their coffee. It is not very good for being a breakfast place. But that is me being picky, I still order it.
Great food, great service, owner is very personable and caring about all if her customers. Love going here. Prices are great too!
I like the fountain. Reminds me of a downhome diner. Staff very fast and courteous.Food good.
Great stop on our ride today. Great tasting food, quick and extra friendly service....
Just what you want from small town hashslingers
Awesome staff, great food. Great prices
Delicious tenderloin sandwich, friendly staff. Nice mom and pop shop
Awesome. Took my granddaughter for her first time. She loved it.
A fun little dinner with good food, glad we stopped
Great place for breakfast. Downtown location, gives it a nice cozy atmosphere. Service is very attentive, and the food is good. Opens early 4:30 AM, I believe.
I come into the restaurant and the waitress Stacy is very rude. Food was ok. Nobody was wearing masks at all. This place smells back and nobody is wear hair nets. I also found hair in my food 1 time on both plates.😡
Very good place to eat and good service to
Great food, low prices good service
Breakfast breakfast breakfast!!!! Bacon, potatoes, eggs, gravy, cheese, and toast .... great price and good amount of food. The seating area is small for the amount of costumers they get, parking is difficult on weekends.
Food was over cooked eggs was hard not over medium and bacon was fatty and under cooked service was good
Great food and service. I highly recommen this place
They have good portions and the price is right and very friendly service , and of course that was delicious as always. Its nice to see that they still have old fashioned service
One of my favorite places to eat. Going there is a step back into time. like the 1950s. Very friendly staff. Where the locals eat. Never been disappointed. Highly recommend The fountain.
Always good food at a reasonable price and great service never been disappointed!!
Awesome service. Food is served hot and delicious. Bacon is the best. Highly recommend. You wont be disappointed
Always great food and service!! Highly recommend!
My breakfast was great that I ordered.But when your son order hashbrowns with peppers and onion with cheese he was expecting more than raw onion and peppers with a slice of cheese melted on a square deep fried McDonald style hashbrowns.Same thing with an omelet you put a frozen deep fried hashbrown in the center? How about regular fried potatoes like I got.
Good service and food a good place to eat if your in Celina

2022-07-02Lived in the area for years and finally stopped in. Very quaint and casual diner. Love the decor and collectibles. Had basic breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Loved the fried potatoes. Will go back again and try their burgers or the Billy Bob.
Review №2
2022-06-11Had the western omlet and it was good... husband had 2 eggs and meat with home fries and toast... food was really good. Always a pleasure to eat a local mom and pops place. Both of us ate here and costed less than $10. AMAZING!!!

2021-04-08While the landscape of America continues to change along with the bygone era of small diners, The Fountain has weathered the storm. There’s nothing like a piece of history still going strong in a small town, where fewer rapid changes happen to swallow mom-and-pop joints. One thing about The Fountain that shines is how the staff remembers names. It’s what makes customers friends. I tried their “Billy Bob” and several other menu items. I’ve been back several times. I’d come here before choosing a chain restaurant, any day! Great place.
