    Biscuit and Gravy with eggs
    Ryan T.

    Lily's is one of those true one fashioned Midwest diners that you find hidden out in the suburbs. The portions are heavy, the seating is tight, and the prices are just right. Overall we were happy with the experience, and the rooted feel of the restaurant. Service felt a little rushed, however, since only one server was working the floor while we were there. Overall, would recommend stopping by for breakfast or brunch.

    A good friend of mine that lives in madison came on a weekend and took me to this place to get the best chilaquiles ever! Everything fresh maded, not too salty and the right amount of spicy, I loved to make it with sunny side eggs, I made it a point for brunchs occasionally and bring friends just to try this place from time on time. It looks like family owned, the waitress were amazing and always keeping an eye in you and your coffee, even if the place is overly busy they are all the time taking care of you.

    Lily's Cafe doesn't really need another review. I will write this for customers who will dine here for the first time. We were first timers on a Friday morning. Con: it looks like there are 2 handicapped parking spots in front of the restaurant. One spot was occupied. The other had 2 orange cones blocking the use of it. We had to park far away. When we left the restaurant at approx. 9:45am, one of the servers was removing the cones. Now the space was open for someone with a Handicapped sticker or plates could park there. I don't understand why the parking spot was blocked off before 9:45am Another Con: A gentleman came in much later than we did. The server immediately sat him , took his order, and immediately took his order and left to turn it into the kitchen. His order was delivered before ours. Perhaps he was a regular there. One of my pet peeves is serving customers out of order. Pros: a very large menu for a small diner. The breakfast egg entree was very good. The women's restroom was very clean. I would like to come back for a lunch.

    My mom was in town to visit and This Cafe popped up with great reviews. So we decided to check it out. It's a small cafe and you can seat yourself. We got there pretty early so enough seats. I will say it did get very busy by the time we left. The staff was super nice and quick. The food was so delicious!!!!!!! It was mouth watering. I got the stuffed n French toast and I highly recommend it. No syrup needed!! My mom ordered the chilaquiles with egg no meat. And OMG so much flavor and it comes with a kick!! We were so impressed how delicious the food was. We are planning out next visit and bring other family members along

    My friend and I split the chilaquiles with chicken and the stuffed French toast. They were both amazing! The chilaquiles were very authentic and delicious. They split the order for us and as you can tell it is a generous portion! Coffee was also quite tasty! The waitresses were so attentive and kind and checked on us multiple times. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying their meals. It has a welcoming feel to it when you are there. It is a smaller place and very busy so be aware you may need to wait for a table or order take out which is my plan for short lunch times!

    Such a wonderful experience visiting this quaint small diner. Everyone was speedy and friendly. The kids items were generous and tasty. The hot chocolate was a win!! I had the Chiliaquiles a guajillo and it was to die for. Added the steak and avocado to share with my husband. He had the Mexi-Benedict and he mentioned it was a 5/5!!! Don't Kiss this place, just be weary it's not For Large partners over 4.

    They recently celebrated a five-year anniversary under the new management but I've been a fan of Lily's for a long time before the change. I'm so glad they continue to offer excellent food and fast and friendly service. Lily's is a neighborhood gem and I absolutely love their chilaquiles de la casa with eggs-over-easy! The portion is still generous, so I can easily get two meals out of it. What a deal! Lily's is very busy on the weekends, so try visiting for breakfast during the week, if you can. It's more quiet and relaxing.

You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

Juicy-O provided each team member with an individual container that contained the food for breakfast. This made setup easy and convenient. There was scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns inside each container, so you could get a full, classic breakfast all in one container. There was also pancakes and donuts for everyone, as well! I chose to eat the pancakes and those ended up being my favorite portion of the meal. The pancakes were light and fluffy! when I put syrup on them, they were absolutely delicious. It was a simple breakfast item but they did it right! Additionally, I ate a small amount of the scrambled eggs and both slices of bacon from my container. Everything tasted fresh, and the bacon was flavored well. Also, the portions were quite filling. I actually became full rather quickly after eating the pancakes and some of the other items. The breakfast that Juicy-O catered for us was excellent. The individual containers made serving the food extremely easy, and there was a large assortment of breakfast options available. It was a pleasant and fulfilling meal and a wonderful way to start the day with the rest of the team.

    Cute little spot in the mini mall that's packed with FLAVOR!!…read moreIf the lot is full parking is slightly difficult. Very cozy, familial feeling. Nice patio seating area of 5-6 tables you want outside but be careful the sun is beaming out there. Inside 5-four person tables, 2-two person tables, a cozy couch for drinking your preferred beverage, and a coffee bar seating. The service was great. As a black coffee drinker the guy allowed me to taste the Cafe de Olla to make sure it wasn't too sweet for me. It was perfect and piping hot. The cinnamon, star of anise, and sugar have a nice balanced flavor. The chilaquiles con bistek y salsa verde was DELICIOUS!! The salsa had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The egg cooked over medium was fresh and a perfect match for my breakfast. I believe my toast was sour dough bread perfectly toasted. It's very seldom that I come across a perfect meal that doesn't over or under do something. So to create a beautiful breakfast that packed nothing highlighted my day.
