Check out this Columbus restaurant that serves breakfast all day. Our review.
One of my favorite things growing up was when I’d come home from school and smell bacon, sausage, grits, eggs and whatever other breakfast foods were cooking in the kitchen.
In adulthood, I still enjoy eating breakfast at any time other when it’s meant to be eaten.
So, we decided to try a unique place where you can get breakfast all day, Toasted, located at 5727 Moon Road in Columbus. When Toasted opened in July 2023, the restaurant ran out of food due to high demand. This came after rave reviews popped up on the Columbus, GA Foodies group on Facebook.
Having now eaten there, I can understand the buzz surrounding the restaurant.
However, I must disappoint you when I say I didn’t order a breakfast item. Thankfully Mike Haskey, our visual journalist, did. He ordered the “Fried & Confused.” If you haven’t had it, I’ll harken back to one of Matthew McConaughey’s famous lines from “Dazed and Confused” and tell you, “It’d be a lot cooler if you did.”
The dish is a French toast sandwich featuring fried chicken, pimento cheese, bacon and raspberry jalapeno jelly.
He said he liked the dish, and said the French toast part of the sandwich was flavorful and thick enough to keep everything inside. The sandwich was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, according to Haskey. He also said the sandwich was really big, leaving half to take home to his wife.
He let me try one of the hashbrown bites that came with the sandwich, which was really good. The hashbrown was crispy, salty and had what I thought might be the taste of green onion.
I decided to get the spicy chicken sandwich. The sandwich is made of chicken fingers tossed in buffalo sauce and put on a bun with lettuce, onion, tomato and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing. I got mine without the tomato.
The tenders were nice and crispy and still juicy on the inside. The vinegary Buffalo sauce stuck to the tenders well and had a nice bit of heat to them.
The lettuce tasted fresh and crisp and helped balance out the fried flavor of the chicken. The fries were crunchy and soft on the inside, and the ranch and Buffalo sauce I dipped them in didn’t slide off.
I must also compliment the way the sandwich looked. I’ve eaten many spicy chicken sandwiches in my life, and this was one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones I’ve eaten.
If you’re looking for breakfast at an odd hour, or even more typical fare for lunch, this is a spot to try. But you won’t find it open super late: Toasted is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.
