    I wanted just some diced up chicken. The guy tells me $12. And he says sorry everything's gotten so expensive. He then brings me about 5oz of chopped up chicken. For $12! So disappointed

    Biscuits and gravy + pancakes

    I was craving the perfect pancakes one day so my boyfriend took me here. Immediately upon walking up, I thought the entrance was so cute and reminded me of grandma's house. I walked in and knew already I'd love the vibes. It's definitely a spot where regulars frequent, and I'm pleased to say I've now been twice. Both times the food and service were great and I'll definitely be back. It truly has this nostalgic feel to it! Being connected to the bowling alley is a fun perk too.

    Breakfast here is always tasty and it is served all day A couple months back I got a turkey club That was ordinary cold cut meat instead of real Turkey - I am unclear if it was just a one off or if it is a permanent change

    Maybe it's just me, but cafe's in bowling alleys are the best. I don't think I've had anything from Lily's that wasn't good and I especially appreciate the variety of foods to choose from. The service is great too. I believe it's family owned and operated so there's always a personal touch when one of them greets you.

    I love that this little restaurant is attached to the bowling alley! There's brunch, lunch and dinner to be had here. Great to bring the whole family, or come in with friends. Laid back atmosphere, customer service is fantastic! The burgers are great, fries are crispy, and thank you for the free watermelon and the discount on my bill! Going the extra step really made me feel appreciated. Love to support family run places in town, and bring others to enjoy the yummy food!

    A favorite local restaurant in the SCV with the sweetest and friendliest owners! The restaurant is a homely little spot connected to the bowling alley with such delicious food. We love ordering the Chicken Fried Steak, Loco Moco, and especially the Fried Rice. The portions are huge and you definitely leave feeling full and satisfied! If you haven't been here you should it's a family favorite of many locals...

    Taco salad

    Pretty solid diner. Had the club sandwich with fries and the taco salad with chicken. Nice little plate of fruit as a starter. The club sandwich (my go to for diner sandwiches) was nice and fresh and the fries were especially crispy. The taco salad was surprisingly good. Nice service here.

    We love lilys! My family eats here all the time! Great tasting and fresh made food. Lily is a sweet heart and cares for her clients! Super cute location up against the bowling alley. Love the plants outside and diner vibe inside.

    Mushroom and cheese omelette with a side of bacon, and fruit cup.

    What an amazing little gem. The service, and food were excellent! I had an omelette with a side of bacon and the missus had an eggs with hashbrowns. Portions were generous and had excellent flavor. The staff couldn't have been better, with continuous coffee cup filling and being asked if we had any other needs or assistance. The fruit was provided without a charge and was very fresh and crisp. Facility is a little dated, but the food and service made up for it.

Even though they were busy, we were seated immediately, and the service throughout our visit was exceptional. Our server, Melissa, was amazing, so kind, attentive, friendly, and thoughtful.

What impressed me even more was that the other staff members were just as kind and made a point to check on us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful, warm, and inviting. I also absolutely loved how dog friendly they are! Our dog was welcomed and even given her own healthy treat, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. It's rare to find a place that can be busy and still make you feel so personally welcomed. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and genuinely kind people. Melissa especially made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Egg Plantation!

It seemed as though there were about 10-12 tables inside, and all the employees work with one another to wait on the tables. We showed up around 10:45am on a Saturday morning, and to our surprise there was no wait. We were sat immediately and ordered a cappuccino and Arnold Palmer to drink. Then, I ordered the Salmon Benny with home potatoes, while my partner ordered the Churro waffle combo. It did take about half an hour to get our food, but it was well worth how fresh everything tasted. My salmon benny came on an everything bagel with cream cheese, and the salmon was served cold (in a delicious/ good way, not like it was frozen. I just wanted to make a note of this because usually when eating a salmon benedict the salmon gets warm from the temperature of the english muffin and egg). Then, the home potatoes had onions, and bell peppers and I kept commenting on how fresh the bell peppers tasted. My partner had the churro waffle with eggs, sausage and bacon. They really nailed the churro flavor of the waffle. Both our plates were completely devoured with no leftovers to take home. For our two drinks, two entrees (and the added combo to the churro waffle) it ended up being $53, which we found to be extremely reasonable for the quality, portion size, and service provided. The only thing I would mention was the parking lot gets a little crowded. They share a parking lot with the other stores in the plaza, and there were several spots open only because there were a lot of bigger cars who were over the line. No fault to the restaurant itself, just something to be aware of.

    The food is always good- this time I was dedicated to trying the loco moco and I am so happy I did!…read moreIt was so good! Star of the show is the horchata French Toast!

The service was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our entire visit. Our drinks were constantly being refilled, and the staff regularly checked in to make sure we were doing well. You can really tell they care about their customers. We all really enjoyed our meals. I ordered the burger, and it was delicious--great flavor and cooked just right. My kids loved their meals as well, especially the chicken tenders and fries and the mac & cheese.

The restaurant itself was very nice, spacious, and had a pleasant atmosphere. Our waiter was okay--he did his job, and that's about all I can say about that, lol. Based on the menu description, I thought the chicken and waffles came with a sweet potato base, but unfortunately, they didn't. However, the chicken was fried perfectly and seasoned just right! The rest of the food was good, but not so amazing that we would come back for it. The pancake was also very cake-like, which wasn't quite what we expected or intended to order. Overall, it was a decent experience for our little birthday brunch, but probably a one-time visit for us.
