La Fleur's was a no frills restaurant. The menu was a single page, the waitress was outgoing and present and the food was deliciously edible. The breakfast options at t this place were directly and to the point. The food was served hot, and the coffee was caffeinated. If you're looking for a gourmet breakfast... this isn't the place for you. You want eggs to order, some of those eggs him pancakes and some delicious bacon.... Make a trip to this restaurant!! read more

Fine food great service! Love their Seafood and Italian buffets. Went there for Mothers Day and was treated like royalty Everyone from chefs and host or hostess even servers show deepest respect and gratitude. Love that place! read more

Went for breakfast. Small town feel, kind down to earth staff. We ordered an omelet, kielbasa and eggs, blueberry pancake. Everything was delicious! Lots of yummy fresh veggies in the omelet cooked to perfection. Not typically a home fries fan, but these were fantastic. No skins cooked to a perfect crispiness. Highly recommend!! Thank you for a wonderful breakfast! read more

First off, we are new to Maine via kalifornia. We haven't quite gotten used to everything closing at 8-9 pm. We spent the last month here working on our home and after a late night of working decided to get some food. We missed out on the closer one and drove down the road looking for anything open. Walked in La Fleur's at about 2 till 8. We were starving and were met by Brenda, Kathryn, and the owner who welcomed us in. A++ for even seating us at the end of the night. They treated us like we were at the beginning of their shift. No rush-rush or attitude. We ordered what we wanted. No end of shift restrictions. Food was fresh, hot and delicious! Everyone made small talk while finishing their end of night chores. By the way, the place is clean and nice. We made sure we tipped well for their OUTSTANDING service. You would never get that where we came from. I didn't catch the owners name but thanks to him for waving us in as the last customers were leaving. That kind of friendliness puts this place as our new number one place to eat out here. Thanks to all of you. read more

I heard many good things from residents of Livermore, Livermore Falls and Jay. I decided to try Lafleur's the day the whole hostage situation occurred in Livermore Falls and I was asked to leave my home till it was resolved. Before I review their menu and food quality I do have to give big praise to their staff. The waitresses are extremely friendly and a few of them have been working their for one or more decades. If you prefer staff over food, definitely stop here. I don't know if it is because I went at lunch time, but I was not impressed with the food. They don't run your typical local restaurant style menu with multiple selections. They change the menu multiple times and only offer a select number of options between appetizers, entrees and desserts. The decor has a country home town feel to it and they have a wood stove that makes for some nice heat in the winter time. I had the BLT sandwich with a side of fries. The fries you could tell were the frozen kind tossed in the fryer, but cooked to a nice golden crisp. I like a nice crunch on my fries with a soft interior. The BLT had all the flavors of a good sandwich, but I was very underwhelmed with the amount of the ingredients used. I had maybe 1.5 full slices of small pieces of bacon, one large folded over piece of lettuce and a couple tomatoes that were small in size. If you are going to make a BLT, give me more bacon and tomatoes to make it feel like a BLT and not a sandwich I could go make at home. I want a restaurant to put the effort into their food that is beyond the effort I would put into a home cooked meal, otherwise I will go buy the ingredients myself and make it at home. The coleslaw that came with it tasted store bought. At least the cabbage seemed like it was from a bag and then they poured a bottled sauced onto it. Had little flavor and required salt and pepper to bring the flavors out. Again, it may have been the chef that day or maybe its because most go for the dinner menu, but I was not impressed with the quantity or quality of the food offered this day especially for the price they ask for. If you are going use a custom menu and keep to a certain number of options, you best use the freshest of ingredients and the higher quality ones that provide flavor and the uniqueness to the menu. I'll give this place one more shot with the Dinner menu, but first impression, I was not impressed. read more

Great place. My husband and I stopped there for breakfast on our way to Rangeley. He enjoyed the challah French toast special and I had a delicious blueberry and raspberry muffin. We would stop there again. read more

If you want your time wasted go here. 5 people eating in the restaurant and we were 1 hour and 15 mins getting out take out. We checked it before we left and it was missing a meal that we had to wait for again while everything else got soggy. We were there an hour and 40 mins standing around. They are pretty overpriced for the tiny portions as well. We also witnessed an elderly couple get up and leave because they were tired of waiting. More staff then customers and they still don't have it together. read more

I've lived in Franklin county my entire life, and been visiting Lafleur's since I was a child. I could recall a million terrible experiences while dining here, including the one that has finally topped the cake for me. *I'll start with my experience this past summer of 2021. There are 4 of us at a table, and two other tables in the restaurant. The menu is still COVID small, mostly seafood. One in our party was pregnant, so it's either steak or chicken tenders with a side. We all decided we wanted a side of pasta salad, in which the waitress legitimately told us to "steer clear of the pasta salad" before we even mentioned we were considering it..... why would you tell your customers you have rancid food, or better yet, still be serving it if you wouldn't eat it. While we are deciding where else to go, the one woman in there for staff, is on the phone calling someone for help as more cars are pulling in. Absolute mess. We left for Chuck Wagon. *My most recent experience this past Monday: We make a reservation for 6 ahead of time, as this is one of the 3 restaurants within 30 miles open on a Monday. My friend and I show up as the last two in the party. Everyone else has their drinks. A host comes over to ask us for drinks. I ask if they have a drink menu, and without even getting and answer the host goes "I will absolutely need to see your ID". Okay, no problem. As I'm getting my wallet the host again goes "I'd love to know how old you actually are". I go "23 and a bartender", to which she FOR REAL REPLIES "I don't care what you do". Real classy, and really makes me want to tip you . SO, she's checking my ID and my friend's ID, and is legitimately asking me why mine looks different than hers (mine is brand new, not intended for federal purposes). As a bartender I know why my ID looks different, why is this woman clueless and not up to date on checking identification. After being harassed, we get our drinks, and continue to enjoy the inconsistent, condescending evening. *Last but not least, the best for last. I'll let the photo evidence show you how yummy my soup to go was: read more

Had a delightful breakfast here at Lafleur's. The service is friendly and efficien. We each had a specia:l mine was eggs benedict which was served very very nicely, a nice fresh omelette was delightful and the corned beef hash was very good. It looks like everything on the menu is good and I've heard rave reviews about there once or twice monthly seafood buffet. read more

Food was very terrible service was ok bread was stale bacon was hard as a rock was so disappointed it wasn't funny and the egg sandwich was even worse paid but I'd never go there again EVER read more

Lafleurs' has a great variety of choices for everyone. My favorite dish is the Chicken Cesar Salad. My whole family loves the place! read more

Been hearing how wonderful the seafood buffet is and hadn't had a chance to check it out. The opportunity to have dinner on new years came up and we jumped at the chance to try out the seafood buffet along with prime rib and a few other extras for the holiday. What an absolute disappointment. They had a wilted salad with an unidentifiable dressing, mini crab cakes, and wing dings to start. The mini crab cakes were tasty but small and the wings were good but anyone can drop a frozen wing in the fryer. Very basic stuff. We had a reservation for 730pm and we were too late for the prime rib- which come to find out wasn't prime rib but a roast. Either way- we, along with a bunch of tables, didn't get to try it. They also ran out of the pork roast. A few basic seafood and chicken options were available as well as sides. The service was friendly and there was an attempt to replace the missing beef option with a grisly, thinly cut rib eye that lacked flavor. Running out of anything on a buffet that you are charging $37 per plate is unacceptable. Especially when reservations were required and you know exactly how many people you are feeding. Always better to have too much than to run out. Anything leftover can easily be used in one format or another the next day or so. It saddens me to say that we will not likely go back- especially if the buffet is the only option. read more

Great meal and outstanding staff. We were treated like long lost friends. Our puppy, Neeko, was thrilled with the bacon they sent out to him! read more

Excellent seafood and very affordable. Great friendly service. Quick service. Enjoyed the lobster stew.

Great service always and quality fare. The staff is always super friendly, including the owner and chef. We are always satisfied when we leave. Seafood is always so fresh tasting. read more

When did City prices come to Jay, Maine? Had a late Sunday lunch here and it left much to be desired. I was surprised by the prices on the menu first. Some of the selections were family sized, but my special steak tips were half sized. It came flooded with gravy and I sent it back and only half the meal came back out. We had arrived in Jay a bit later and we were eating in the 2 pm time frame and we felt rushed out of the restaurant. A slow eating elderly member of our party was, I guess, taking too long. We will be looking for another location for our next visit. read more

Disgusting. Super disappointed in the food. Got little neck slams and a big salad. Clams tasted very old and the lettuce was wilted and brown. There was also a giant black hair in my salad. Service was good. Friendly staff. read more

Family style restaurant. The service is exceptional and the food is always outstanding, especially the fried clams!! Even during these challenging times, they've managed to do an excellent job. read more

not much to chose from in this area unfortunately, but Lafleur's is OK, not SUPER but OK... good food decent portions, home cooked style.. Liked the breakfast best ! (went there several times....so this review is not based on a 1 time visit !) read more

One of the best places to eat in Western Maine. Highly recommended, both food and service. We just had our 40th class reunion and were treated like royalty! read more

I do not normally write glowing reviews, but I have never been disappointed by Lafleur's. Food is great DownEast cooking expertly prepared. The French fries are the best I have ever had! and I always start with the French Onion soup. Like any knowledgeable gourmet would, always go with the specials, not the printed menu and you will never be disappointed here. read more

The staff was amazing, funny, and helpful. Most of our party had the all you can eat Haddock. I had the lobster stew and it was delicious. The dessert was wonderful and tasty. Glad we stopped thanks to yelp recommendations. We are from Texas. read more

Warm greeting. Fast friendly service. Had the prime rib dinner special for $20.00. Include salad potato veggie and a pop over. Everything very good. We will come back. read more

I love this restaurant! The owners and waitstaff have always made me feel at home. One time, I came in for breakfast a few days in a row, and by the second day they knew how I liked my coffee and brought it right to me . The menu is familiar, yet inventive, with dishes ranging from Fish and Chips to Maple Seared Scallops. Whether you go with a classic or not, everything is cooked to perfection. They use fresh Maine seafood, Maine Maple Syrup, and seasonal produce. For the best meal there, I recommend the monthly all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. I like the family-friendly atmosphere, and how the owner will regularly take time to sit down with customers interested in catering for various events. Overall, 5 stars! read more

This is a place my grandparents would have loved. Very traditional food, no frills. It's a beef/fish/chicken type of place... with potatoes and a dinner salad on the side. Although well-prepared, the food is a bit too plain for me. I do love the french fries, however. The waitstaff is always super nice and the chef/owner usually comes out to greet the diners. Big selection of homemade pies for dessert! read more

My husband & I recently dined here on Christmas Eve as we brought our staff out for our annual Christmas meal. The food was amazing and the perfect amount for a lunchtime meal. The service was right on, consistently filling waters & drinks as necessary. Many ordered desserts which all looked amazing and everyone enjoyed. Great local, friendly, place to dine with delicious food. I had to go back the following week to get another burger because I loved it that much!! read more

This restaurant is a nice rustic Family Restaurant. I've always gone here for breakfast. Breakfast is always well done and everything is well cooked nicely presented. They are very accommodating when it comes to mix and matching breakfast items. it's nice restaurant for relaxful breakfast read more

The waitress was rude to ALL of the five tables. I was aghast. People at the other tables were in disbelief and discussing her snarkiness and admonishments the entire time. She actually said things like "If you're not ready to order I have other tables I can go to" and when asked for a suggestion said "well I don't know what you like to eat it's up to you" I can't believe how she was speaking to people. What was funny and annoying at the same time was that the waitress snapped on a fake nice demeanor as soon as she delivered the check. It was like a light switch and so obvious that she realized it was tip time. The younger hostess was an absolute pleasure though. She was sweet and I wonder if she was trying to make up for the ridiculousness of the waitress. At least the food was great. Kudos to the cook. read more

Extremely dissapointed. It takes a lot for me to write a review or put down a restaurant, but i felt others should be warned of the high prices for super low quality food. The place has a look and feel of a diner/family restaurant with its paper placements with advertisements, paper napkins, and cheap silverware. Then you look at the menu and you are transformed into what looks like a menu from a high end restaurant with $18.00 FRIED seafood platters. My recommendation to you Lafleurs: Match your restuarant with your prices and TRAIN OR GET A NEW CHEF. (awful presentation and all 5 of us were dissapointed with the taste and quality.) read more

Every time we go there it's great. Food is very tasty, and the service is excellent. Last time there I had the Prime Rib served with a popover. My wife made such a fuss over how good it was, they gave her another. Now she's hooked. Twin lobsters were delicious and sweet too. Looking forward to the seafood buffet. read more

Warning! Do not book your function with Lefleurs Restaurant in Jay, Maine. My family booked Lefleurs banquet room including a buffet meal for 5pm on Saturday, July 28, 2018 following a burial ceremony. We had a group of 45 people ages 4 months through 105 years old. While some of our group is local, most travelled hundreds and even thousands of miles to attend this event. We arrived at the restaurant at 5pm to find that the room we had booked months in advance was occupied by another group. We were informed that the other group which had booked the room for earlier in the day had decided to change the time of their event, so our reservation was cancelled without notice. We were seated in the regular dining room with other patrons and our group was split up. We were unable to visit with one another or view the memorial photo presentation of our loved one as planned. The buffet menu we had planned was not available to us. We were eventually offered a limited menu and were not served dinner until 7pm. I ordered a steak and scallop meal that was offered. The salad that came with my meal was wilted and not suitable to be served. There were 3 breaded scallops, and a steak which was mediocre at best. I must add that the waitstaff did their best to accommodate our group and scrambled all evening to make sure that we were served something at least. The owner was unapologetic, leaving his staff to deal with the mess he created by intentionally not honoring our reservation which was done months in advance via multiple phone calls and an in person meeting with him in May to choose a menu for our event. As a local and long time patron of this restaurant, I am disappointed and disgusted by his behavior, poor customer service, and treatment of his staff and will no longer support this local restaurant. read more

Been traveling by this Restaurant to our vacation home for MANY years. It's always looked crowded so we decided to give it a try for lunch on our way home with the 2 kids (teens). It was almost full but we were seated quickly. A wood stove was burning as we entered. We ordered the lobster roll and chowder $16.99- not disappointed. The chowder was very good and the lobster meat was lightly (perfectly) mayonnaised atop a round buttered/grilled bulkie roll with fresh lettuce and a single tomato slice. The kids shared mozzarella sticks and potato skins- typical and yummy. We will be back. read more

I wish I could give the restaurant more stars because the food was delicious, some of the best food in the area. However, the waitress was condescending and abrasive. She didn't even give us a chance to pick up the menu after sitting down before she attempted to rush our order. She was so rude the other patrons were bonding over her lack of tact. I had already decided that her demeanor would be reflected in the size of her tip but sure enough when the bill was delivered she was suddenly sweet as pie. Well a middle aged waitress ought to know by now, that's not how it works! I gave her the small tip she earned and not a penny more. The lovely hostess who was much kinder and friendlier and actually knows how to treat people in a public establishment deserves a raise. read more

This is an excellant place to go. Was there for Sunday lunch and it was just like the Sunday dinners my mother made for us after church. Very enjoyable and the waitstaff were super friendly and very efficient and attentive. The lady I took there was so impressed that she still has not stopped raving about it to all the people at her assisted living facility.She cannot wait to go back. read more
