Lisa's Country Cafe - Lockeford

The breakfast burritos here are quite good. The service is excellent and efficient, with reasonable prices by today's standards. I dined in for breakfast and found the overall experience satisfying. Price per person was around $10–20. I would rate the food a 4, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 3.

Ever since George sold the restaurant, the food has been quite disappointing. We were served clam chowder that was so thick we had to eat it with a fork. The lava cake was microwaved to the point of being hard, and the chocolate was burnt. The full-size Greek salad was smaller than a dinner salad, and the sauce for the pita bread was rancid! To top it off, they've increased the prices by 25%. We used to dine there about twice a week. Hey, new owners! Soup shouldn’t be as thick as cold gravy!

The staff are very friendly. They get a solid 2 stars for that. My husband who works in construction (and has seen many a porta potty) said the men 's room was utterly disgusting . The family at the table next to us had a young toddler. When they left I saw dark grey grime all over the light wooden highchair he 'd been in. The overall cleanliness is clearly lacking. The food is adequate but not worth the filth.

Initially, the young man who took our order seemed clueless about which drinks were caffeine-free. He suggested Coke and iced tea. When my iced tea arrived, there was something sticky smeared all around the rim of the glass. Our food, including the salads, took 45 minutes to arrive. We asked two different staff members to check on our order, but neither returned with any updates. When our food finally came, the salads were missing, and the fries were cold. My tuna sandwich was served on a burnt crescent roll instead of being toasted, and we still hadn't received our salads. We flagged down an employee to ask for our server. When he arrived, we informed him that the fries were cold and we hadn’t received our salads. Instead of apologizing, he simply asked what he could do. I requested our salads, and I watched him prepare them himself, which suggested they should have been made and served long before. When they finally arrived, they were drenched in water. My parents frequently visit this restaurant for breakfast and say it is usually quite good. However, I will NEVER return. I understand that the restaurant is under new ownership and has recently reopened after the pandemic, but there was plenty of staff present. They were mostly just standing around, chatting and joking with each other.
