Relive the 1950s at Nutcracker Family Restaurant

Nutcracker Family Restaurant is a ’50s style diner located in Pataskala, Ohio. It’s a great place to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner or to simply relax with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Originally opened as an ice cream parlor in old downtown Pataskala, the restaurant now has much more to offer at its current location on Broad Street.
