Food was amazing ! Service was great, our server Milayna was quick, and very friendly! It does get busy so make sure you have enough time to wait but I promise the wait is well worth it !

This is exactly what I wanted. Great customer service. Kind of a dive place, and look at the burger. Very happy I was on this side of town and stopped by.

After wanting to visit Lil' Moon Diner for some time and hearing from family just how delicious the food was and is I was finally able to get here and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The decor is a typical diner setting, booths on one side, small counter seating and then tables and booths on the other side. Once seated the service was amazing, food came out to the table so fast, so fresh and hot, constant checking to see if we were happy with our coffees and meals. The portion sizes were crazy big, absolutely nothing to complain about. I would and will recommend this to anyone that is looking for some delicious breakfast. Cant wait to visit for lunch and dinner.....

I totally love the small town diner feel of this place. Tucked in a little West Richland town. It's way better than spending a lot of money on a small breakfast. Very affordable. Very delicious sized potions. The staff was also attentive to my needs. My grandson loves his chocolate pancakes from the griddle. Their Oreo milkshake was delicious. I had their simple breakfast. All was good!

I had lunch at Li'l Moon diner today and had a bacon, mushroom and cheese hamburger. The service is always exceptional and they just remodeled so the restaurant is very clean and has a fresh new look. I highly recommend a visit. Their Chicken Fried Steak is outstanding!

We recently stopped here for lunch and it was fantastic! The service was super fast and the food was delicious! I had the Reuben and tots and hubby had the clubhouse with tots! The Reuben was so full of meat, but meat to kraut ratio was perfect! The tots were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle; practically melted in my mouth! The club was amazing! All the features of a classic clubhouse, and the ratios were spot on! The beer came in a bottle or a can, which led me to believe they don't have beer on tap, but that's ok! The prices were very reasonable and we would definitely eat here again! The breakfast menu looked phenomenal as well! Don't let the outside fool you! This is a hidden gem that should not be overlooked! read more

Good breakfast, left full for under 35 bucks, which nowadays is hard to do. Hashbowns were crispy but soft inside, sausage was decent, eggs cooked perfect, friendly staff... The only thing that could use more work was the gravy. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't Bob Evans either. All around, it was grub and we were happy. read more

Lil' Moon occupies the building where JD's Diner was previously. From the customer's perspective, not a lot changed. That's a good thing, as JD's was a classic. The menu is what you expect at a diner. Lots of breakfast choices, burgers, sandwiches, etc. The service is excellent. My first breakfast there was chicken fried steak and eggs. The CFS needed its own plate, and if it was prefab/Sysco sourced, I couldn't tell. It was covered with sausage gravy, and first rate. I've since had an omelette and pancakes. It was all good. Don't go to Lil' Moon if you want the corporate cookie-cutter experience. This is homegrown diner food. read more

It is a smaller establishment with lots of tables, so one may find it a bit cramped on the inside. Other Notes With this restaurant, you do get a bill that you have to pay at the front (like Denny's) and their restroom is a bit weirdly located.

The portion was impressive and everything was delicious. Some breakfast places usually make their fried steak out of ground beef but to our surprise it was real, thinly pounded steak! Super tender with great crisp and flavor. Really liked the homemade country gravy on top too, Hash browns and egg were perfect as well. Atmosphere was clean and cozy, had vintage decor and some interesting taxidermy on the walls. Seemed like a popular spot with locals who were mainly sitting at the bartop scratching away at stacks of lotto tickets.

I've lived in major cities like Philadelphia and Seattle, and was a foreign exchange liaison in college. I know good Japanese food when I see it. To my utter shock and amazement, this is the real deal! In fact, the Black Garlic Tonkotsu is arguably the best ramen I've ever had. The chashu definitely is, without question. It had excellent flavor, with hints of cinnamon and a pleasant sweetness. The mouthfeel was truly next-level. The ajitama (soft boiled eggs marinared in soy sauce, mirin, and sake) were great. They went a bit skimpy on menma (lacto-fermented bamboo shoots), but I also just really love menma. The broth was, obviously, the star of the show, and had the rich creaminess of slow-simmered pork that one expects from tonkotsu. I also tried the OMG Salmon appetizer, which is a great deal on happy hour. The salmon was fresh, the cuts were perfect, and the sauce doesn't dominate the flavor. The decor is beautiful, and unparalleled by any other restaurant in West Richland -- not hard to do, but this place would look perfect in any large city. Flying glass fish swim through the sky-high ceilings, and the tables are neatly kept. They don't have a ton of seating for large groups, but there were still a couple of free tables when I got there. They also have ample seating for singles at the sushi bar. I highly recommend this place; it's a hidden gem punching way, way above its weight class. Don't miss out!

I visited this diner for breakfast after noticing the high ratings, and while the staff was friendly, my experience didn't quite match the 4.9 stars. The restaurant feels a bit outdated, and I noticed a few flies inside which took away from the atmosphere. The food was decent, but not quite as exceptional as I was expecting based on the reviews. With some updates and attention to detail, I think this place could really shine, but for now, I don't think I'd return. read more

This may be a little hope in the wall dinner but the prices for meals is extremely low. The amount of food that you get with each order is pretty amazing and you don't find that anymore now days. The service is always top notch and quick to take orders and see if you need refills or what not. The restaurant is a little out dated but that's part of the charm. Overall great dining experience. read more

Breakfast and service was great here. This place felt cozy and homey. The potatoes taste a lot better than they look! It was a good surprise. The price is reasonable. I will definitely come back to try some savory bites. read more

Big portions, cheap, and good food. what else can you ask for? If you've eaten at a diner, then you've eaten here. Ambiance feels like a dive bar. Exactly what I expected and more. read more
