    Crabcakes Benedict
    Beth W.

    5 Lisa's Cafe - A Flavorful Beachside Brunch Worth the Splurge! We stopped by Lisa's for brunch, and WOW--every bite was packed with flavor and heart. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but you're paying for top-notch food and genuinely great service right by the beach--totally worth it in my book. Let's talk food: I ordered the Crabcake Benedict (went with the Irish option--served with Lisa's homemade hash), and it was phenomenal. The hollandaise was silky, rich, and seasoned perfectly. The hash had just the right amount of crisp and spice, making it a hearty and satisfying pairing. The only minor letdown? The crabcakes themselves were a bit small for the price, but the flavor made up for it in a big way. We also tried the Biscuits & Sausage Gravy--hello, comfort food heaven. The gravy was creamy with a lovely peppery kick, clearly made with fresh sage, just like the menu promised. And the home fries? Golden, crispy, and beautifully seasoned, with a nice mix of bell peppers tossed in for flavor and color. Even the pineapple garnish was fresh and juicy--a nice tropical touch! The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about the guest experience. Plus, the lace tablecloths and outdoor setup made the whole experience feel cozy and charming. If you're brunching near the beach and want something homemade, flavorful, and memorable--Lisa's is the spot. Just be ready to spend a little extra for that beachside magic!

    Adding pics from our second visit. Had to try the eggs Benedict- very good. Service very good too. Really enjoyed both visits this week. Want to try the biscuits and gravy next time!!

    I came here by recommendation of a friend while visiting the area for a few days. I ordered myself an uber from Bilmar on my first morning for breakfast right at 9:00am, I wasn't even sure if they were officially open when I poked my head inside, confirming with the hostess that they were open and she got me set up with a table. The hostess, also my server was pleasant with a bubbly upbeat personality. As a first timer, I attentively listened as she provided an overview of the restaurant and menu. I was surprised by the cinder block walls being painted black, but they had family photos hanging and the tables/chairs were not flashy. The overall atmosphere I would describe as casual. Starting off my vacation, I knew I wanted to treat myself with an alcoholic beverage and decided on the mango bellini, which was pretty good, my meal however was pure perfection!!! I ordered the Irish Benedict and it was out of this world!!! English muffin, corned beef hash, eggs, smothered in hollandes sauce-OMG!!! This meal was exceptional. It was so hard for me not to give 5 stars and the only reason I didn't was because I thought things were a bit overpriced. My food alone was $24 and frankly I think that is waaaaayyyyyy too much. Thank you for a wonderful meal and service, if it was a bit more reasonable priced I would have made a second visit while on my 5 day vacation in the area! Thank you for a memorable meal!

    Lisa's is the cutest, most delicious brunch place ever! She makes everything from scratch - no mixes or fillers! She grows her own herbs and everything is fresh and beautifully prepared. Servers and Lisa are personable, accommodating and friendly. You'll always see a crowd, but Lisa manages to find you a spot!!

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Angelo G.

    Our meal at Lisa's in Madeira Beach was a real standout! Lisa herself was a gem, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was packed with mouthwatering flavor. The Eggs Benedict with Crab Cakes was a decadent treat, and the Biscuits and Gravy, especially paired with their unforgettable Corned Beef Hash, was equally satisfying. Seriously, that Corned Beef Hash was so good I had to order a second helping! The Crab Cakes were also top-notch. The only slight snag in an otherwise perfect meal was the unexpected $5 charge for a side of hollandaise sauce I requested because the cooks wouldn't put it on the food for me. Overall, Lisa's is a fantastic spot in Madeira Beach for incredibly fresh and delicious breakfast, and the friendly service (especially from Lisa!) truly adds to the charm. So...I guess never posted this a year ago Well. Another year, another great experience at Lisa's! Just like our visit, the food was absolutely fantastic - bursting with freshness and flavor. While the prices are a bit higher than I'd prefer, it's clear that you're paying for top-quality, fresh ingredients, and in this case, it's definitely worth the splurge. Our server was also great, providing incredibly friendly and attentive service.

    We arrived earlier than our hotel allowed for check in and we desperately needed some food after an early flight. As we drove down the beach, we noticed Lisa's and stopped in. My daughter had opted to catch some zzz's in the car while me and a friend went in to eat. Everything looked good. The menu stated nothing could be modified. As someone with allergies, this always makes me nervous but I was able to find a dish (eggs any way you want). It was good paired with a lemonade basil vodka. A neighboring table convinced us to try. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and really enjoyed it. You can't get to go orders (was hoping for my daughter) but you can order a meal that they will box up for you. Felt it was slightly strange especially since I was eating in, but ok. It all worked out. The reason for 3 stars is because the service was really poor. I noticed this isn't abnormal which is such a shame. When I return, I'll probably opt for other choices in the area that provide better service.

They had a fresh catch of grouper that day, so we decided to try the grouper nuggets. They're market price, but absolutely worth it. Even our friend preferred them over his fried fish. The batter was light, crispy, and delicious. Our kids ordered the bacon cheese fries and loved them. Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

We came here one night for drinks and after seeing the menu knew we had to come back for a meal. The food looked so amazing and it was very hard to choose which option to go with. For the app we had the crab Rangoon dip and the Midwesterner in me was missing my cheese so we also had the Wisconsin cheese curds. The cheese curds were pretty classic and the Parmesan cheese on top added a nice twist. The crab dip... I'm drooling just thinking about it. If you like crab you need to get that app. For the meal, I had the Surf and Turf with coconut shrimp. Sweet Mary was I glad I did. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the coconut shrimp with spicy Thai sauce was so good. The shrimp had the perfect crunch while the shrimp themselves were tender. They also have a wide variety of drinks and beers which was nice to try some new things. I do also want to do a shout out to Robert who was our waiter. He was phenomenal! Orders perfectly taken, he was polite yet had some fun and laughs with us, and was very patient when a couple people in our group were "picky" eaters. While he had several tables he was serving he was always right there if he noticed our waters or drinks being close to empty. Food will make people talk, but food and service will bring people back. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best in town. I'll admit, we were hungry and I forgot pictures of the actual food... the desserts (S'Mores Brownie Sundae and the Key Like Pie) were also amazing.

There was a section with some toys to entertain kids which was a nice touch! Service was good and it wasn't super busy when we got there as it was after the lunch rush. Our table ordered a lot of different dishes. We got the bang bang shrimp, which was delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. I got a lobster roll with fries for my entree and it was okay. There was a ton of lettuce on it, which I was not a fan of and the bun split very easily. I ended up just eating the lobster straight off the plate. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion. I'd go with something else. My girlfriend got the Lobster Alfredo and it was not good. The pasta was super doughy and overcooked. The Alfredo sauce itself didn't have a lot flavor either. The whole thing was just not good and once again not worth the price. Our niece got butter noodles and they were the same way. Overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting in water or something. She didn't eat it. I would skip the pasta entrees. The other item we were disappointed with was the Crab Rangoon dip. It had a fishy tang to it that we weren't a fan of. Someone in our group got the tacos for taco Tuesday and said they were good. Chicken tenders were also yummy. Overall, we had an okay experience. If we came back, we'd go with different items on the menu for sure.

Perhaps we tried the wrong things, but we were hungry (which usually increases the appreciation for the food), and our choices ranged from not good to good. The dip appetizer- Not good. It was the crab dip with seasoned cheez-it shaped crackers. The crab did not have good flavor and the crackers were over salted. Wasn't a good balance for my taste buds. Didn't eat most of it. The oysters appetizer- Good. They were fresh which is ALWAYS appreciated. I didnt like that the shells weren't rinsed, which led to alot of shell in my slurps and the actual oyster sizes ranged from normal to small. One was almost tiny. My main meal- Good. I had the special...a Blackened Hogfish stuffed with crab and scallops. The fish on it's own was ok, but the bites with the stuffing as the whole were good. The rice and beans along with it were cooked perfectly. My friend had the Blackened Grouper and enjoyed it thoroughly. Desserts- Very Good- 50/50. The Coconut Cheesecake was absolutely DELICIOUS, definitely homemade. The Chocolate Cheesecake was just ok, but killed the sweet treat itch. Ambiance- Tranquil. If you're looking for beautiful scenery while eating pretty good food out on the patio area, this is it. The main dining area upstairs was a typical old seafood diner type vibe. The bathrooms are also located upstairs. Service was informative and attentive. It wasn't the best seafood I've had, but I'd definitely come back for the view. Pricing was fair. Check them out!
