The food was delicious and favorable. Man size portions. The service was quick and pleasant, very attentive. The ambiance was ok. It was a typical tables and chairs with booths and a counter set up. If you are in southern Ohio stop in. read more

Look we are from Texas. We know meat. This place has a typical small town nostalgic feel but its food is worth it. Went on Thursday night for the steak special and it was like literally having it prepared table side. Grilled to perfection. In the big city, you might pay $50-75 for this meal here it's a simple $20. All of our food was great. Good kids meals, solid tossed salad. Traveling through for the day but wish I lived closer to frequent this place. Highly recommend. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Unfortunately, our experience at Lori's Restaurant in Caldwell was very disappointing. The food itself was okay, but the service was poor and the attitude from our waitress made the experience unpleasant. My mother's meal was never brought out with the rest of our table's food. We asked about it multiple times and were repeatedly told to wait, while everyone else had already eaten. By the time the manager came over to ask how everything was, my mother still had not received her meal. I explained the situation, and he finally went to get it. While he did apologize for the inconvenience, nothing more was done to make the situation right. We spent a long time waiting, and it was frustrating and disappointing that my mother's meal seemed to be treated as an afterthought. The next day we went to Patty's place much better food and service SOLID F read more

A perfect 5-star experience! Lori's Family Restaurant is a true gem. I went in for breakfast at 3pm and was absolutely blown away. I have never had sausage gravy, and theirs is hands-down the best. Everything was so good, in fact, that I completely forgot to take a picture before devouring it all. The service was just as fantastic as the food. Our server, Brittany, was an absolute delight--friendly, attentive, and really made our visit special. And you have to try their home-brewed iced tea. It was so fresh and the perfect complement to the meal. This place is a must-visit for anyone looking for amazing breakfast and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in just passing through and the food was delicious! We got the Big Breakfast and a cheese omelet and it was all made pretty quick and was really large portions. I couldn't eat it all! Our waitress was also really sweet. (Don't remember her name but she had a butterfly tattoo) Restaurant was clean, inside and out as well. If we find ourselves back in Caldwell, OH we will be back. :-) read more

Lori's (pronounced LORE-eye's) Family Restaurant is an excellent family-owned business right off 77 in Caldwell, Ohio. The home-cooked food is wonderful. They even have homemade noodles! I'm a picky eater and usually can't finish a restaurant serving, but I had no trouble polishing off the food at Loris Portion sizes are just right: not too small, but not huge. Our server, Ginger, was professional and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. It's conveniently located less than a half a mile from Exit 25 on I-77. I'll definitely be returning to Lori's when I'm in the area,, and would highly recommended it to others. read more

Happen to come across Lori's Family Restaurant when doing a search for breakfast along I-77. I do appreciate the family atmosphere and the welcoming atmosphere. The place was cozy and it has the 80's atmosphere. Our waitress was great. You do get a large portion of food for the price. It was really affordable and was delicious. Would definitely recommend Lori's. read more

We ended up stopping here on our way to my parents house from North Carolina. It was getting somewhat late in the day and we needed some dinner as we had another hour and a half to go. So we pulled off at this exit and stumbled across this restaurant, it's totally an old fashion greasy spoon type diner. It was perfect for what we needed. Just a bite to eat and place to relax out of the car for a little bit on our road trip. I had a ham and cheese sandwich and it was amazing. It just had that old-school homemade vibe to it. I can't say it will be amazing to everyone as it just hit me right. They also have all day breakfast, so our little one was super excited to get some eggs and bacon for dinner. If you are out this way and you need a place to stop on a road trip, it's a great little joint and I recommend it. The waitress was the sweetest could be, and our little one even got a free lollipop on the way out the door. I think our daughter was the most excited for this stop. read more

We were in Caldwell, Oh. to attend a softball game and decided to have dinner before going to the game. Since Lori's was close by the field we chose it and so glad we did. The place was very clean and the staff was gracious. My wife had the liver and onions and I had the hot roast beef with mashed potatoes. The meals were served quickly, hot, and to order. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and we would definitely stop by here again if in the area. No complaints at all, and the cost was very reasonable, under $ 30 for two dinners. Very convenient location as it is just off I-77, making it easy off and back on if travelling through. read more

Ordered chicken tender dinner asked if chicken could be tossed in bbq.. Tall gentlemen with glasses approached the table and said they could not toss them in bbq fir me or he would have to do it for everyone? He was a real asshole.. Coleslaw was terrible .. Husband had gravy and bisquits..Libbys can gravy. Terrible. Rude staff don't eat here. read more

Stopped in on a whim, riding through to the hotel. Amazing and delicious food. The staff is friendly and greets you when you walk in.

Very clean and has a variety of menu items. But we had to ask for refills, I actually stared going to the coffee pot myself and getting my own. We waited over 50 minutes for chicken tenders w/fries and a chicken quesadilla. The food was ok but pricey for what it was. read more

Lori's Family Restaurant - Chicken quesadilla - Diners Near Me - Caldwell, Ohio

First, the positive: the food was good and hot. The host was delightful. The negative: wait time from time order was placed to time delivered to the table was in excess of 30 minutes. The waitress was either new to food service or just didn't have a clue. read more

Great homemade beef vegetable. Had the boneless pork chop and it was decent, tad over cooked. Country fried steak is from the freezer. Gravies are from a can/jar. Real mashed potatoes but under seasoned. Side green beans were from a can and not seasoned. Staff was lovely and very attentive. Patrons were very friendly too. Prices sort of high considering portions and most of it was canned/frozen. Sandwiches looked good. Salad bar was small but looked fresh. Place was very clean. read more

Very friendly, fast service ! Good food and very clean! I would recommend this family restaurant. read more

The service was adequate, but the 3 waitresses kept complaining about the "rush" of 10 people who had arrived just before us. Portions were small, and we were given stale dinner rolls straight from a bag. Got the key lime and chocolate peanut butter pies, the key lime was just jello & cool whip, and the choc/pb was bitter. Butterfly shrimp was good, I'll give them that! read more

Lori's family restaurant is probably my parents and my favorite go to restaurant. They have great food, at a fair price and they always make you feel welcome! Joseph G. read more

Friendly staff and decent diner food. Glad to not have to eat at chain restaurant when in the area.

This place is family owned and operated. They are friendly and always have smiles on their faces. The food is amazing and their salad bar is the best. Prices are great and they go above and beyond to make your visit top notch.. It's a place you must visit.... read more

Came here on the the way to coolville oh. Place is clean and updated. Service is prompt and friendly. I ordered the cod it was ok a little on the greasy side but over all ok my some had the meatloaf it was a little dry but flavorful. Portions we on the small side but did not leave the place feeling hungry. But the apple cake was dry and super bland but the peanut butter cream pie was rich and good read more

We are camping here out of town and we got free vouchers for the family to go to breakfast here. It was a nice gesture - but once we arrived the staff scoffed about getting tables together for 6 people, in an empty family restaurant. Then our waitress took all of our menus away without telling us that we could order from there if we wanted to pay, because the hotel breakfast voucher was only for certain items. We just didn't know. Then when we asked about where our food was (it has been almost 30 minutes), our waitress replied that "it's on its way, it was a big order". It was awkward and horribly rude. Needless to say we will never be coming back and not recommend this place to any of our friends or family. It's interesting how different you're treated when you're 1. Not an all white family 2. Have a gay couple 3. And have a baby with you, despite being friendly and respectful. read more

It's horrible, you all have been warned. My accelerator mysteriously seems to speed up when I see Lori's sign on 77s.

Best food I have had since before I can remember. Best service, feels as home. Very friendly

Would not go here again! Sr citizen and military discounts only available m- thurs for a few hours. Limited menu. My California blend veg, could tell microwaved. Had honey dip chicken, almost broke tooth trying to break through outside crust! read more

This was a great choice for dinner. I love eating local. The creamy peanut butter pie and the chocolate peanut butter pies were a great way to finish our meals. All four of us loved our meals read more

We were hiking the Archer's Fork Trail in Southern Ohio and if you're coming from northern Ohio this restaurant is located just off the exit to the trailhead. I wasn't impressed with the food or the service so we stopped somewhere else on the way back, the Archwood Family Restaurant. I would highly recommend skipping Lori's and heading straight to Archwood where everything from the menu to the service is better. Everything about this place screams "truck stop" except there aren't gas pumps out front and no semi parking. The food is cheap tasting and small in portion size. I don't know if the waitress was having an off day but she was not courteous, let our drinks sit empty for 20m, and just seemed to not care. On the positive side prices are pretty good...$5-7 for a meal...another buck or two for a drink. Bathroom was fairly clean too....but those alone are not enough to make it worth stopping. Keep on driving and eat somewhere else. read more

Always like stopping in a Lori's on out trips to West Virginia great place to eat love their shrimp and salad bar.

Let's be honest here -- this is Caldwell, Ohio. If you're expecting five star dining anywhere near Caldwell, you probably need to go and get your head checked out. For those of you who think I'm kidding, or don't know what I'm talking about, I spent about eighteen years of my life in this town, so, I've got some authority on what works and what doesn't. Lori's is a quaint family owned restaurant. If you're looking for some classic americana style food, and very, very reasonable prices (along with some kick-ass Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie), this is the place to go. If you're expecting anything more than a classic diner experience, you're better off going elsewhere. The portion sizes are always hearty, the staff has always been attentive, and the chocolate peanut butter pie is amazing. Did I mention that you should try the pie? read more

Just barely average. I would have preferred Wendy's or other fast food. They need to try much harder in their speed and food quality. I am so disappointed that I didn't have a better experience. read more

Honestly my visit here seemed to be a lot of what's being posted on here, service was prompt at first, but we waited over 30 minutes for our food! Most places average 10-15 for this same order and they were not busy. Drinks sat for 20 minutes empty as nobody had checked on us to see how our food was ( don't get sausage patties) rubber. But it's sad we had to grab someone to get more drinks/get our food fixed. Only reason for the 2 stars is the food was decent. They also own the best western and comfort inn in caldwelll, so we will make sure we stay at the days inn again because if they treat people like this at the restaurant I can't imagine the hotel setting. read more

Best honey dipped chicken I've eaten in my life. My husband and I were blown away! Loved it! Small mom and pop diner. Pulled into this place for lunch while traveling on the road. Hit the jackpot!! read more

This place is OK. Some of the servers are very good, some are middlin'-bad, which doesn't help. The food itself is pretty generic, and sometimes comes in strange combinations or shapes. Also, please note that if it is on both the "special" menu and the regular menu, the special portion may be reduced. Not a bad place for lunch if you have to stay near Caldwell, but not the best, either. Close to the freeway, which makes it more palatable if you are just stopping by- no need to go into town which can be an adventure all by itself. read more

We stopped for breakfast on a late Sunday morning. There were 15 or 20 diners there in various stages of dining. The menu is small, true, but everything you might want for breakfast is offered: eggs and ham, bacon, sausage; biscuits and gravy; a good variety of omelets; pancakes, french toast, and waffles; and delicious home fries, all crisped and fried up with onions (if desired). Service was acceptably prompt, coffee was tasty, the place is nice and clean, and the prices are reasonable. Lots of smiles all around, too. If you're seated near Jeffrey, who stops by almost every day, say hello. He's a local gem. :) read more
