We started off with queso fundido and two Aguas Frescas, the Jamaica and the Horchata. The drinks were delicious and refreshing and the queso fundido had a good flavor and was gigantic in fact, we ate almost the whole thing, and because we ate almost the whole thing we were already full by the time the rest of our food came out, but don't worry, dear reader we persevered. I got the steak fajitas and the meat was really yummy. The tortillas were perfect and their pico added just the right amount of spice. note for somebody who gets a lot of fajitas. There was no guacamole, sour cream or cheese. Just rice beans and pico, but I was happy. My table partner got Birria Xalisco. And said that the meet and consome was delicious and the blue masa cake might've been the best part. Wheelchair accessibility: there are several different seating options both inside and outside that work for a wheelchair user. The path of travel inside the restaurant is a little bit tight, and the path of travel back to the bathrooms is pretty tight and somebody with a larger chair might not be able to make it through. The bathroom door is super super heavy to where we had to have somebody else open it.

Lisa's place is great, friendly waitresses, good food, friendly patrons, and very generous owner. I recently had a meeting with Lisa to sponsor our team "Crosswords for a Cure" in the Relay for Life at Webster lake, put on by the American Cancer Society, on September 7-8, 2013, and she gladly sponsored our team. I have been dining here for a few years (it used to be Kim's kitchen) and I will continue to dine here. I really enjoy the atmosphere, the food, and the personal attention.

We saw that Westy's had great reviews on both Google and Yelp so, it was a no-brainer. We arrived and were greeted by multiple employees, all of whom we later found out were all family members. It is a relatively small restaurant but, not at all cramped. Nothing flashy or "trendy" about it either, which had me excited. We got seated and got our drinks quickly. After looking at the menu, we saw that there were plenty of options to choose from. I went with the Country Fried Chicken + eggs (I gave the eggs to my friend as I am not a fan of eggs). The food arrived within 10 minutes of us ordering and it all looked amazing. Included in my meal was the Country Fried Chicken, Hash Browns, Biscuits & Gravy and Toast (there were eggs but, again, I gave those away). All of that was included for only $15! The looks of the food were back up by the taste which was great as well. It was all the perfect temperature too - not hot enough to burn my mouth and not too cool either. Throughout our meal, we were checked in on multiple teams with drinks being refilled as well. All in all, I've got no complaints about the restaurant at all. They've been open at this location for 12 years and been in business for 40 years, all in the family! I would without a doubt recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you all for a great breakfast!
