For a diner on Old Route 66 - this place rocks. We had Fish & Chips with their soup of the day. AMAZING! The fish was crispy and flaky. The chips were just right. The soup was so tasty it was hard to stop eating to try more fish. But what was the most amazing was their deserts. I'm not usually a dessert person. But...Of course they have them in a huge display case (refrigerated) and talk about tempting. After our meal we were full, but we chose a desert to take home. WOW - their portion sized were enough that we took a few days to enjoy them. I would definitely return. One of the tempting aspects is they are located on the old Route 66. I love to travel bits and pieces of this road. It is fun. read more

We have been going to LILO's for years. A favorite item on their menu WERE their cinnamon rolls... never again unless they go back to making them like before. On a recent visit, I stopped on my way home and picked up an order of 2. They later explained that they're doing a "pan" of rolls now, so we ended up with 2 pans, not 2 rolls. They were definitely more expensive and the saddest part after spending $55.00, the cinnamon rolls were dry, stale and inedible. They had to be at least 3 days old. We ended up throwing them away. Very disappointed! read more

Best kept secret. I stopped at this quaint cafe for breakfast on the way back to California and was pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff, service was spot-on, food was hot, price was not surprising about $50 for breakfast for my wife and I. read more

Cannot speak more highly of Lilo's! We are from MA and stayed overnight in Seligman after a day at the Grand Canyon. Lilo's was across the street and the menu looked great, so we figured we would give it a shot after a long travel day and the need for a hearty meal. The service was excellent, all the ladies that work there are so sweet. Our meals were huge servings and were so so delicious! I got the au jous sandwich and my boyfriend got the country fried steak--both were amazing! Get the potato salad! Now onto dessert...The rotating dessert freezer states at you the whole time you're at your table and did NOT disappoint. I got the carrot cake and omg I couldn't even finish it in two days. It was so incredibly decadent and just perfect. We also got the peanut butter chocolate cream pie, which was equally as amazing. The decor is quirky and awesome. Exactly what you would expect from a Route 66 diner with lots of personal touches and nice photos. It was fun looking around. Our only problem is we wish Lilo's was closer to MA and hope to make a trip back someday! read more

We didn't come in with high expectations, but this restaurant definitely surprised us with their delicious food! I ordered the philly cheesesteak sandwich and it really hit the spot as it was packed with flavor. The desserts were amazing as well- we got the banana cream pie and the carrot cake. The banana cream pie was pretty good, but the standout was definitely the carrot cake. The texture and flavor was spot on and we ate every bite of the huge serving. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

Westside Lilo's Cafe - Dinner is done yummy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seligman, Arizona

Westside Lilo's isn't perfect -- service on the patio was friendly but slow, and some of the dishes were pretty basic (e.g., the grilled-chicken entrée is served with no sauce, spice, etc.) -- but ordering dessert here changes everything. The signboard out front mentions the renowned carrot cake, but it doesn't do justice to the fact that the portion size equates to about a quarter of a Bundt cake. Not only that, but it's the moistest non-layer cake you'll come across and tastes completely homemade. It's hard to bake a thick cake to perfection, but they manage just that. The cherry pie is fantastic too, served at just the right "mild warm" temperature, with a flaky crust and the perfect amount of filling. Worth a visit, especially if you enjoy dessert! read more

W O W ! Homemade desserts on steroids. We both opted for the carrot cake cheesecake. Big as a softball! Moist, sweet but doesn't make your teeth hurt, cheesecake is the perfect tartness and consistency. We kept looking for it in the center of town before realizing it said "Westside" Lilo's. Excellent on every level. 10/10 recommend. read more

Visited 2/22/2022 This was such a treat for a Historical Tourist Town. Most tourist stops Don't offer original experiences and great service. Breakfast was delicious and the servings were very generous. This is a family run Café diner and the family is very friendly and accommodating. The food is old school and all handmade. The biscuits are freshly baked every morning on site as is the homemade country gravy. That eggs were cooked perfectly Overeasy just the way I love them. The Chicken Fried Steak and Country Gravy was delicious and plentiful. I had the Route 66 Breakfast Special with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. Best I've hade in a long time. Nice and roomy with plenty of seating and even an outside area to dine. Love this place and wish it was in the San Diego area where I live. I will return. Gotta Love The Original Route 66. read more

Finding a good restaurant has become a real challenge, but hiding away on Route 66 is one of the best diners I have found in recent memory. The service is old school friendly and fast. The food is fresh, well prepared and portions are generous. The carrot cake is beyond description, and just one of many homemade pies and cakes offered at this nostalgic eatery. LILO's is a "must stop" on classic Route 66. read more

Best carrot cake I have ever tasted! The cake was moist and the frosting was perfect. They don't skimp on size either. We also tried the banana chocolate cream pie which had real pieces of banana. We heard from a few people this was a must stop for dessert when driving through Seligman and I'm so glad we did. The service was excellent. I can't wait to drive through again so we can try the food (we had eaten prior and were too full to eat.) read more

Adding another review! We found this gem during the pandemic. We live in Las Vegas and, like today, we drive 2-1/2 hours to eat and then drive back. This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants! Today, it was packed. PACKED! So happy to see it thriving. The food is INCREDIBLE. The service is something special. A must go!! read more

Came here the day we got out of Havasupai for dinner and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. I'm a huge outdoor fan so the big game taxidermy was beyond impressive. The restaurant is a mix of German meets Western, meets outdoors in the 50's with a modern vibe to it - sounds crazy? Well, let me say it mashed pretty well together in a non-tacky way. We were hungry for real food after only having freeze dried food from the hike, so we ordered what sounded good on the menu and boy it didn't disappoint. We ordered the following from the menu: Jäger Schnitzel - cooked great not dry. The mushroom gravy was flavorful and the homemade french fries (with skin on) was delicious. Liver and Onions - liver was seasoned well and the sautéed onions on top was just caramelized enough where you can taste the sweetness of the onion. T-bone Steak - we asked for it to be prepared medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Pink in the middle and the meat just melts in your mouth. Not chewy at all. Carrot Cake - YES! We had some room left (intentionally) for the carrot cake. It was AMAZING. The texture was great - moist and not overly sweet. And it was HUGE! Will definitely recommend and will for sure come back when we travel this part of Arizona again. read more

The food was amazing! We had the chicken club, bratwurst and the bratwurst burger- all delish and we were stuffed but still had to have dessert. The carrot cake and banana cream pie were 10/10. The service was fast and friendly, beer was good and they even brought water to the patio for our pup. Looking at property near here and if we buy, this will be a regular weekend spot. Lilo would be proud, she left behind an amazing legacy. read more

This place was such a treasure! Our food was awesome and so fresh, the drinks were cold and the owners and workers were a pleasure to talk with! The quaintness, the "feel right at home" welcome was so special. You should definitely stop in. And try the CARROT CAKE! It is known around the world and DELICIOUS! Such a special little place! read more

Westside Lilo's is the place to be in Seligman. You can tell it's a local favorite and with good reason. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. It was raining when we visited so we made conversation with others who were there. We had a chili burger and a patty melt and both were amazing. The waffle fries were seasoned to perfection and the burgers were very well cooked. I don't think I'll be in Seligman often, but if I am, I'll definitely stop by! P.S. don't forget the carrot cake cupcake read more

Thank you Westside Lilo's for such delicious meals. You guys are the reason that we live to eat and not eat to live, lol. Everything we ordered (liver n onions, philly cheese, green chili burger, bratwurst, carrot cake, banana cream pie) was perfect. Even the draft beer and root beer.

After the debacle of food choices in Williams that should have had me losing ten pounds instead of gaining, we braved the suddenly untrustworthy Yelp reviews and tried Westside Lilos. We were not disappointed in any way! I had the breakfast special I shared with my toddler. The bacon was crisp and amazing, like a smoky fat less wonder, the hash browns were amazing and the pancakes were some of the best I had ever tried. My son had the strawberry pancakes with real whip cream which was a perfect size for him. His apple juice came in a bottle which was great because he could take it for the road trip. When Alley, the server said the table was dirty and she would wipe it clean it was indeed spotless. The bathrooms were equally spotless which was surprising in such a packed roadside place. The kitchen was also impeccable. We shared a table with some pretty awesome grandparents from Beaumont who I would have happily picked for a third set for my own kids. Perhaps nothing to do with the restaurant, but the overall environment here was just happy, and very busy. The only down side was my egg was a bit cold, but it was still cooked perfectly and went well with my pancake. When I looked on the wall and saw Guy Fiery smiling down at our table, I knew I had chosen well. After all, we did accidentally dine together on the North Shore of Hawaii once, and who better to give his approval than Diner Jesus. Maybe not traditional for thanksgiving, but it was our best meal on this thanksgiving vacation. 5 Stars for Alley, the server and the restaurant. read more

We had a pancake breakfast and got the cake and cinnamon roll to go. The breakfast was more than enough for two of us to share and the desserts were enough for 6 people to share!

WOW! What a rewarding spontaneous stop! French dip was plentiful, not salty like so many are, and the best fries of the decade! Pea soup- the same! Yum! Brings back memories!!! Finished off with cherry pie like grandma used to make. This stop did not disappoint! And try to get in Sherri's section because the only thing that gave the food a run for the money- was her warmth and welcoming attitude. This will be a regular stop from now on when traveling this area! Big applause to the cooks!!!! read more

Passing through the area visiting family, and was told I Must eat at this establishment. At first I wasn't expecting much from this little roadside diner in the middle of nowhere. I am pleased to say I was surprised (in the best possible way!) by the quality of the food and service here! Our server was very bubbly and quick to take orders, bring food and drinks, etc, and was super accommodating of all our non-standard requests. We ordered the chicken fried steak, French dip, and the T-Bone with shrimp and potato salad. Tasty but not the best diner steak I've had, very good French dip though! All of the food was well cooked and flavorful, but honestly the shining star of the entree course was actually the potato salad!! I have eaten potato salad all around the country and this was hands-down some of the finest I have had the pleasure of eating!! I had heard from three different locals that the carrot cake here is a must also. Now, I do not enjoy carrot cake in the least, but because of the consistent recommendations, I decided we had to try the carrot cake for dessert. You guys, I am now a believer. This was not only the best carrot cake I have had but one of the better cakes I have eaten in the last couple of years. Wow. No nasty raisins, nothing but amazing, moist cake with an amazing icing that has a good amount of almond extract, another flavour I enjoy. Carrots were so soft as to be perfectly incorporated into the batter itself. What a fantastic cake. I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I head this way for business or family. read more

Food was good, service was spotty. Chicken club and patty melt were good, ordered 6 wings and got 5, Rueben and buffalo chicken were ok. Good fries.

Bought a bottled soda on the way out only discover 3 miles down the road that it was flat. Annoying! read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. At 7:30, there were just a few locals and myself. Within an hour, there were probably 15 more people (tourists). Lilos is like stepping back in time, and you can imagine what it was like when RT 66 was a main route. The service, food, and coffee was excellent. As you can tell by the pic, you couldn't fit another thing on the plate. The temp of the food was great, with nothing cold or even cool. It is the best Country Fried Steak and Gravy I've had, and being from the Southeast U.S., that's saying something. Definitely recommend, and will be back. read more
