Honestly, we didn't expect much from a café inside a bowling alley, but we were completely wrong. The menu offered plenty of choices, and our server brought us a sheet with the daily specials. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with potato soup, and my husband went with the BLT and potato soup. The soup was outstanding thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. Both sandwiches were fresh, delicious, and served with a side of pickles. The manager also stopped by and was very efficient and kind, which really added to the great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the service, and we'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

George's Lakeview Cafe - Menu. I forgot to take a photo of the food. - American Near Me - Sun City, Arizona

Little Cafe in a bowling alley. Who would have thought this place would have such a great menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Specialty breakfast menu with pretty good prices. Had the number 1 breakfast. 2 eggs sausage hashbrowns and english muffin. With coffee of course. Good service and speedy service on top. Take time to try out George's Cafe. Worth it read more

Solid place to dine! The food was really good, the ambiance is casual and then service was excellent! I had the liver and onions and it was delicious! read more

Nothing really fancy about George's. Diner type food done without fanfare for a fair price. Lots of daily specials. Portions for breakfast as modest, if not on the small size - no need for a to go container. Service is traditional diner type, friendly with character. Is in a bowling alley, so it can be kind of loud and definitely not fancy. read more

Stopped by first time. In a bowling alley. The gentleman wait staff was awesome. He was so attentive and polite. Ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla. It was fresh and tasty. If I am in the area I would go back. Inside was clean. read more

This place is the absolute best in Sun City. The service and food is outstanding. We have a set reservation every week. There Walleye is addicting and the best I have ever eaten.

This was a diamond in the ruff coffee shop. It's attached to a bowling alley which makes you think to pass right on by. I went with the reviews and it did not disappoint. Took my elderly parents here after an appointment. They had liver and onions and I had a gyro, and we all had the beef barley soup. All was excellent. The service was great and we would definitely come back if in the area. Give them a shot, I think you will like it. read more

Great food eat there all the time although they are a little pricey there beef barley soup on Mondays is the best.

Good prices, great service good food. Next to boeling alley so you can watch the bowlers while you are eating.

Great place for breakfast! They always acknowledge you when you walk in and find you a seat quickly. All the servers are friendly and helpful.

Food is great and the waffles are my favorite! I highly recommend George's cafe! read more

Had there liver and onions special, to go. When I got home the 1 piece of liver was burnt and black on the outside and as tough as nails on the inside, had absolutely no taste,the baked potato was dry, and no butter provided, as well as napkins, or anything else. I usually get a decent meal here but, it sure was not worth paying for. I wish it wasn't a to go meal, as I believe they don't care once you walk out the door. Also service was no gem either.....lots of parking read more

A strong menu of which I only scratched the surface of. Service was friendly and place was well maintained. Prices on par for a small cafe. Was able to add a salad for a nominal fee. I will return. read more

The past few weeks I'd been asking the Universe to find a nice coffee shop in the area which reminds me of the Greek coffee shops and diners prevalent all over Long Island. After visiting my doctor in the Sun City Area near Boswell, I googled George's Lakeview Cafe, saw mostly five-star reviews, and determined it was time to eat at a place where the cheeseburgers actually taste good. So we went to George's (ironic that the one of the former owners of the Centre Coffee Shop in Plainview, New York was George. So this restaurant is actually located inside a bowling alley, so we went inside and discovered - a crowded place (which bespoke of good food and good turnover), a menu which is perfect for the demographics that eat here (myself among them), friendly staff, friendly waitresses, and a genuine feeling of a warm, cozy coffee shop, and with Angus bacon cheeseburgers (delicious), cole slaw (the real deal), and my wife and I split a large plate of onion rings. The food is very good, the parking lot has exit access to a cross street with a traffic light for those making a left turn heading east on Thunderbird. This also seems like a venue where if you have the slightest problem with your food or order, the general manager is more than happy to rectify the problem - the manager didn't come off as stand-offish at all, but was friendly, smiled while we checked out at the cash register. It's no surprise at all that this cafe gets mostly five-star reviews. And coming into the cafe through a working bowling alley reminded me of the location of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. TV series, where the agents enter through a New York City tailor shop. We'd definitely come back again. read more

Great food. Super rude staff. One waitress literally shoving food in her mouth and cleaning tables instead of serving me. This isn't the first time that 3 waitresses completely ignored me at this location. DESPICABLE!!! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, but after you try it once you will form a different opinion. George's food is fantastic with large portions of really well prepared food. The menu is more comfort food than I expected in a bowling alley and we will absolutely be back again multiple times, as this has on one trip became one of our local favorites... read more

Talk about a throwback cafe. Liver and onions, meatloaf and chicken fried steak on the menu. If I hadn't known better I would have sworn that it was 1978. I haven't seen frozen mixed veggies served in a restaurant probably since then! I opted for a quesadilla because I figured it was the safest bet.The food and service was not awesome but merely adequate. I can't imagine returning here, but it served a nostalgia niche. read more

Lived in AZ for 8 years, originally from Pewaukee, WI. I know fish fries. Ordered walleye. Wasn't walleye, but can't prove it. The fish was mushy, which walleye isn't. Clam chowder tasted fishy, probably from old clams. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Can't make up for mediocre food. Left feeling homesick. read more

This place is gross. And never the same. They only buy what's cheap and on sale, so the ingredients are rarely the same. For example for the fish fry they buy the cheapest so it's always different and you can taste it. One day l actually saw the owner unloading food from the back of his truck. Yuck! read more

Wow! Food was so bland and it took ten minutes for anyone to speak to us. I guess I shouldn't expect great service from a bowling alley diner though. I got the NY strip and eggs. Asked for medium rare and got what can be best described as a baseball mitt. After taking a few bites then just eating the eggs and hashbrowns drowned in ketchup to give them a flavor. I asked for my check. The waitress asked if the meal was good ( probably noticing I barely touched the steak) I said "it was good" to avoid any sort of confrontation. And as she walked away she said "wow that steak looks pretty good to me, I would've ate it." Loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear. Needless to say I'll never be going back to eat or bowl. I wish I got a picture of the steak but I don't like to make a scene and rarely leave reviews but this was just the worst experience I think I've ever had. The snark at the end topped it off. I was polite, why was rudeness necessary? read more

GREAT WALLEYE Although we live in Sun City, we had never visited George's until I happened to notice a sign advertising "Walleye." Having grown up in Chicago I was aware of how excellent walleye is. At George's the all-you-can-eat walleye is less than $15 and includes salad, potato, and coleslaw! We have become regulars Wednesday and Friday. The fish portions are thick and moist, very light batter, and expertly cooked. On a recent visit, our friend had liver and onions. She also reported it was perfectly prepared. read more

Hunting for a new place to eat breakfast on Sunday mornings. Read reviews and George's looked promising. We entered through the bowling alley. There were tables set up for large parties in the area of the bowling alley. The place was fairly busy but we got a seat quickly. A party of 8 was not pleased we got seated before them but our table was a booth for 4. I ordered beacon and eggs and my wife got an egg and took my toast. The food was good the coffee was good. The service was friendly and good. So why a 3? For some it would be a 4 or 5 but I just did not fill like I belonged there. Nothing they did, just me. Was this their fault? No. and I will probably go again to see how the second visit goes.. If you are looking for a place, at least for breakfast, give them a try. It may be just the place you are looking for. read more

I had the Friday fish the perch for me it was delicious Gyro and he enjoyed it other people with us had the ribs and the fried shrimp everything was yummy and delicious we were seated had a reservation service was good will be back read more

My first time there. ordered meatloaf Luncheon special. Not great, but okay. large portion of meat. Server was great. The problem came when i asked for a to go container for my soda. after paying $ 2.99 for the soda, they wanted $.50 for a cup to go, which i think is ridiculous. I complained to the management, who was very nice but said that it was the owners rule. Of course the owner was in Greece. How convenient. I guess you can afford trips to Greece when you gouge your senior customers who are living on a fixed income. Shame on you. As we left thru the bowling alley, I noticed that the soda machine had a large bottle of Pepsi foe $1.25. Won't be going back there or to the other location. read more

This place is in one of the bowling alleys in Sun City. It was PACKED when we got there and I can see why. Wait staff was great and the owner took the time to answer our questions about Sun City. He has 2 places (both in bowling alleys) and the food and staff are excellent. read more

If you think the food looks good. Just taste the delicious food that is served. Reminds me of back east diner food. Enjoy everything on the menu. read more

A friend invited me. The service was good. The food was pretty bad. And, very overpriced. Thanks, but no thanks.

Best food in town. Great service. Super clean. Always greeted by name, very good specials at a reasonable price. read more

We love buying their specials on a take-out basis. The ladies always provide our orders with the condiments & extra gravy up our request. Our latest issue has to do with their prime rib & short ribs. For a long time, we were getting ribs that were meaty & delicious, but, as of late, all they asked to be serving are short ribs consisting of very little meat and mostly cartilage. These are terrible & very messy. The flavor of their prime rob is very good, however, our last 3 I urchases have consisted of 2/3rds and even 3/4ths fat & very little red meat. We don't eat the unhealthy fat, so, when we trim away the fat, there is really very little red meat. Other nearby restaurants serve a much better quality of prime rib for the same price that has very littlebl perimeter fat. I'm wondering why the cook/chef doesn't realize what they are providing to their customers. They could at least trim off the gobs of fat & provide another piece of the red meat. The au just is excellent, but, often very skimpy, also. Best to ask for two servings in the small plastic containers or a larger styrofoam container. But, if youbget a slice that is 2/3rds or 3/4ths fat with very little red meat, the single half-full plastic container will suffice. But, the flavors are excellent. We just wish the person plating the to-go bix looks at what they are serving. Perhaps they do and think that by the time the patron gets home, opens the box, & looks inside, it's too late to ask for a better piece. Who knows? It's probably better to take the time to check inside the box before we leave. Their beef tips and noodles are excellent. But, just as of the last. Ou I le of months, thumbs down on the short ribs & prime rib. They can do better if they want to. read more

Prices are getting way out of hand. Being charged $.50 for a to go cup. Can't sell large coffees and a lot more.

Really enjoyed the Spaghetti & Meatballs here. Sauce and meatballs taste made from scratch and the portion is large with 6 nice tasting smaller meatballs. Garlic bread is potent and fresh grilled as I like it. Ribs were pretty good. Tender fall off the bone and tasted baked or maybe boiled with bbq sauce added after cooking. Mixed veggies were average and probably canned or frozen. Nice baked potato with plenty of butter and sour cream provided. Service was very attentive and friendly on both visits. I will go back and try their prime rib next visit. read more

Great taco salad for lunch. Enough for two servings so turns out to be a great deal. Tasty meat and fresh lettuce. Very quickly made, short wait time. read more
