    I was not pleased with my visit to Lily's even though I had been waiting a long time to stop by. It was my first visit there and quite possibly my last. The only reason why I'm giving them one star is because I enjoyed their mushroom & swiss bison burger. As far as everything else goes, they have some work to do. I was not the only disgruntled customer at Lily's on the day I came in. I witnessed multiple. A lady came up demanding new fries because hers were "charred." She said she wasn't paying for fries that were all black. The man who made them and served them seemed to know they were charred because he said they were making a new batch at the time. Two other customers came in to quickly leave because one of the features they had on their board, the Texas Mashed Potatoes, were not available "that day." I'm not sure why they would be written on the board if they didn't even have them. As far as my own experience, I don't plan on coming in again anytime soon. I called to order my lunch in advance and when I got there, I expected to wait while the food was being cooked, but the service I ended up receiving, was some of the worst I've ever seen. I felt for the cashier because he seemed frustrated with the cook/the person who seemed to be his boss as well. He apologized to me multiple times and expressed the lack of communication between him and the cook. I ordered a mushroom & swiss bison burger with lettuce and mayo. I also ordered hand cut fries as a part of my combo. The pop was completely flat so I don't recommend even ordering the combo if you do choose to come here. The fries were soggy and had no crisp to them (also, they were not hand cut but rather just their regular fries). If you don't like a lot of grease, the bison burger probably isn't for you. It was drenched with grease. The taste was nice despite the excessive grease. I would say the burger saved the entire order overall, but he did not put lettuce on the burger, so I ran back in to notify the cashier. I was charged for it ($1.00 per extra topping/veggie), so I did want to make sure to get my lettuce or get a refund. The cashier graciously went back to the kitchen and got some lettuce and cut up some tomatoes for me as well. Being that there is a window between the front and kitchen of Lily's, you can hear the conversations in the kitchen. As the cashier cut up the vegetables, the cook was telling him that I did not ask for lettuce on my burger and that mushroom & swiss burgers don't come with lettuce, which made me upset because there is always the option of putting whatever toppings people want on any kind of burger. He kept talking about me and my order as I was standing right there.The cashier did not respond to the cook and when he came back out, he looked noticeably uncomfortable. He apologized to me once again and I told him I knew it was not his fault. Customers should never be discredited or made to feel they are wrong. I paid for terrible service and to listen to a man who was very negative both toward his customers and employee. I would've loved to see that guy crack one smile...he should not be in the food business with his attitude. Half-decent food and a nasty demeanor isn't a good look for a business.

    When you consume wings, you're going to get dirty. There's no getting around messy fingers. Lily's has the answer for that. Wet wipes, right there at the table, in the napkin dispenser. It's little things like that that sets Lily's Wings, Burgers, and Things apart. They stand heads and shoulders above the competition. This small, local, independent eatery is located in a small strip mall adjacent to a gas station and Subway along Northway Drive not far from the YMCA, the Whitney Senior Center and soccer fields, and all of the medical offices located in the vicinity. Lily's serves large bone-in wings, boneless wings, drumsticks, country-style breaded chicken tenders, angus or bison burgers, fish sandwiches, commercial fries, handcut fresh french fries, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, cheese curds, and more. If you don't care for fries, they have homemade cole slaw. What's nice is that there's such a variety. Along with the wings, you can choose from various homemade sauces that range from fruity to spicy, depending upon what you like. I tried the teriyaki sauce with my boneless wing combo and really liked it. It has a kick at the end, but wasn't mouth-on-fire hot. The hand cut, fresh french fries are excellent - among the best I've had in the area. They were perfectly cooked served with homemade ranch dressing. I was given a generous portion of fries to go with my combo, which featured 11 boneless wings. You can sample the sauces before you decide on which one you want to go with your wings. The restaurant is kept clean, and the server/cashier was very helpful to this newbie customer. I've also had a hamburger here - the black and blue. It was done to order (medium well). The bun was soft and delicious, the hamburger was juicy and flavorful, and the toppings (red onion, lettuce and tomato) were fresh. My only complaint, and it's a small one, was that the previous customer had left some sauce residue on the table. There wasn't a lot, and I'm sure it's easy to do at a place like this - where the sauce is the boss - but they may want to check the tables more frequently to make sure they're wiped after each customer. On the downside, it's often the case that they are understaffed. Sometimes, this means that customers up front aren't getting attention because the person is in the back tending to cooking. There really should be more staff on duty or they're going to lose business. On the plus side, each meal is made fresh to order, so that sometimes means waiting a bit for your food. There are a couple of televisions here so you can watch the news or a game. Also, the Lily's food truck ensures that you can enjoy their food when you're out and about. The food truck is frequently seen in downtown St. Cloud, especially in warmer months. You can also order online, and they'll have the order ready for pickup when you get there. It's all these touches that make Lily's a restaurant worth visiting and revisiting. I still can't get over the wet wipes. Only a true wing place would have these, instead of dry napkins. It's touches like that that make Lily's a special place.

    Ordered $13 large rib tips and only got 15 small ass dried up bite size tips. Absolutely a waste of money . Can't even chew or swallow. Will never return. My boyfriends burger was sooooooo dry and it took them 30 minutes to make this shit. Starving ... had to go to another restaurant.

    Honey habenaro with fresh cut fries in bottom basket. Caribbean Jerk in top basket. Bison chile  and jalapeño popers.

    We were looking for a good wing place. They definitely are good. Place is nice, clean and the owner very friendly. We got there just after they opened on Saturday. The owner took the time to go over the menu. Got to sample the sauce before we ordered. We like that the food is fresh and made in small batches. Not a bulk sauce sitting around in buckets. You can see a pile of fresh cut fries in the kitchen. Honey habenaro large combo for me. I enjoy extra heat on my wings and these were good. Lots of sauce and good flavor. Not just hot. She got the Caribbean jerk. Good flavor nice smoke and spice. Not to spicy for her... the owner gave us a sample of the bison chili, Wow it was good, so we had to go back and get a bowl of it too. Watching the owner take time with each customer helping them decide shows his passion for what he is serving.

    Was at a wedding they catered. They showed up late and was very rude. Felt bad for bride and groom as it really put a damper on the event.

    I live in San Diego, CA. I'm a bit of a taco snob and even in San Diego I am picky about legit…read moretacos. This place is LEGIT and would stand up to taquerias in SD. I'm willing to bet it's one of the best Mexican joints in MN, definitely in St. Cloud (Gilberto's is a close 2nd). While visiting my mom here frequently I am stoked this place is right around the corner from her :) Minnesotans listen up - it's all about two tacos there the Al Pastor and the Barbacoa. I also had the carne asada and carnitas, which were good, but it's the pastor and barbacoa that is clearly their speciality. The tacos are pretty big too, generous portions on everything all around. I only got tacos, but I'd suspect these are great in a burrito, quesadilla, or bowl. Order with corn tortillas (maiz) for the authentic taco taste. The tortillas are hand made I suspect, as they have a bit of a pull / chew in their bite - really good. Jose (Don Chuy) was super cool and gave me a free flour tortilla taco which was also delicious. Very welcoming and friendly guy. Jose - consider offering a California burrito on the menu - throw some French fries in that carne asada burrito ;) I'll def be coming here as I make my annual MN pilgrimage and won't feel too far from home with some legit tacos. You're a sucker if you're getting your Mexican elsewhere in this area, so give it a try. Thanks Jose!

Absolutely delicious. Also, in a great mini mall with other hidden shops and restaurants. Check the hours online before you go. Highly recommend.

    You will leave feeling like you're family!!! We were in town for an event and found this amazing…read morerestaurant thanks to some others reviews! If we lived closer we would be regulars! We were greeted by the owner and his son upon walking in...and offered delicious samples of various dishes to help us decide what to order. Each one was incredible, so you can't go wrong!! You order at the counter and then food is brought to your table. There is a fixings bar with limes, cilantro, various salsas, etc. for you to add to your dishes. I had the barbacoa tacos while my husband had the Barbacoa Pozole, which is a traditional Mexican stew or thick soup made with hominy, meat (usually pork or chicken), and a broth that can be red, green, or white. It was AMAZING! Oh, and did I mention they make their own homemade corn tortillas!? If you're in the area, this is a must! They mentioned business has been a little slow lately so they really appreciated us stopping in. Please support them if you can!! You won't regret it!!
