My steak was ok but cooked very unevenly- raw in middle and the mashed potatoes were quite garlicky. We had intended to have drinks and dessert but the drinks didn't appeal to us - way too complicated and unappealing liquors.

I sat at the counter and ordered a patty melt w/side of coleslaw. The water and menu arrived promptly, as did my food. Price? $17 including tip. Unlike the greasy mess that is the typical patty melt, this one was dry. All the expected ingredients were present, but how did they manage to make it so dry. Frankly, I was craving a little bit of a mess, but no objections. The beef flavor was good. The cheese was fully melted. I do wish the onions were a bit more caramelized. I will admit to being intrigued by the pistachio cake. I almost ordered a slice, but that was too much green food dye for me. Will I return? Yes.

So glad I did ... it would be easy to become a regular if I lived 250 miles closer. The parking lot was crowded. Lots of people waiting for tables, but I found a seat at the counter. Service was friendly and instantaneous. My Reuben was perfectly grilled on a flat top and appropriately greasy. The corned beef was coarsely shredded and also grilled to perfection. Ditto the Swiss cheese. My only complaint? I like my sauerkraut to have serious tangy kick and this sauerkraut was Ohio-mild. The ambiance has a bit of a rural farmhouse vibe. The others seated at the counter were friendly and chatty. The dining room and restroom were both clean. Will I return? Yes!

Every time we visit, the food is always delicious and the coffee is always spot on. We always leave satisfied. Dishes that we've gotten that I can remember: cowboy bennys, pancakes (plain, chocolate chip and blueberry), omelets, French toast, & muffins. All very simple meals, but worth the trip. Customer service is 10/10. Everyone is so nice! There is ample parking. It is much better compared to their previous location, that's for sure. Things to note: the wait can be long! If you go early enough, go on a random day or call ahead to get on their wait list, then the wait won't be as long.

Nice that the leaf lettuce was not placed directly on the hot patty - The tomato was okay; not yet tomato season, so I assume that this was greenhouse grown - The beef was seared on a flattop, perfectly seasoned and had excellent beefy flavor. The loaded baked potato was also excellent. Kasey was our server. She was appropriately attentive, without being obsequious. Will I return? Yes.

Inside is very nice and cozy. It's a good place for special occasions or catching up with friends. Food: My server recommended the ribeye, seafood bucatini, or the short rib. I ordered the pierogi potstickers appetizer, which was my favorite! They were nice and crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. The crème fraiche added a subtle cream flavor. The short rib was very tender. The red wine sauce complimented the mashed potatoes and meat. Service: service was fairly quick and staff were friendly.

The management and staff consistently deliver great service, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. This visit we sat on the side patio in the late afternoon, enjoying the people-watching and a great meal. The beer-battered fried mushrooms were some of the best anywhere -- hand-battered, perfectly fried, and loaded with fresh, tender mushrooms. We also had the peri peri chicken and Lily's Bowl with tuna, both packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. For great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere, Lily's is hard to beat. Highly recommend.

I had the spicy miso maple glazed salmon, or something like that. It was good. The salmon wasn't particularly spicy, but tasty nonetheless. It also could possibly have used some more sauce on top, or something to make it less dry. It came with funny-looking radishes, pickled ginger, lemon asparagus, and a tasty rice side dish. Great meal and great service.
