Great breakfasts, decor if new and original metal signs, al very quirky-- especially for a spit in an upscale strip mall. And, for a diner sort if place, it has a full bar. read more

Katie was my server. Upon walking up not busy at all . I was seated immediately. Katie was friendly and welcoming. Two sides to restaurant, diner side with bar area and restaurant seating style. I opted for a table. Ambiance reminded me of Happy Days vibes. Old school posters of many characters and faces to remind you of the innocence of messages and jokes. Old school telephone booth as a picturesque prop. I loved the whole theme . Diner area was clean and high top and bar seating was available. Outside patio as well. I ordered a lemon drop for my drink , I don't want to complain about it but initially I did ask for a lemon drop and make it pretty and sweet. She brought it back strong and bland. Quesadillas fajita style was delicious no complaints. Katie did come and check on me so I was appreciative of that. Prices are reasonable and restroom is unisex and basic. Overall a good visit! read more

My husband was looking for somewhere different and found Letty Lou's. The reviews were mixed, but we decided to give it a try. First of all, I can't really figure this place out. The ceiling makes it look industrial. The seating makes it look like a diner. And then there's the kitsch - old ads, etc, framed and hanging on sterile looking walls. There's no warmth in there. There is a random red telephone booth. If you walk from the room that's clearly a dining room, into the attached room, there's a bar. There are high top tables in there. It was empty when we got there and two guys were watching a game when we left. I'm not sure who bartends. Also, they close at 8:00 so the whole bar set up seemed odd. Our server was efficient. She wasn't unpleasant, but also not pleasant - just doing her job. There is one bathroom there. It's for men, women, and it's also the family bathroom. It's literally a bathroom with a sink and a toilet and a changing table. It wasn't very clean - it needs a deep clean and then to be kept up. My husband got the fried chicken special and said it was too salty, but otherwise good. The skin looked way overcooked to me, but he said it wasn't bad. I ordered the Horse Shoe. I'd only had one once before and that was at a friend's house and I really liked it. This one, not so much. I ordered it with fries and they gave me tots. And there was absolutely no flavor. I had my husband try it thinking I was missing something, but he didn't detect any flavor either. We're always up for trying a new to us place and sometimes it's a miss. This was one of those times. We won't be back. read more

The best shredded hash browns with ketchup! Friendly servers with bottomless mimosa. Cheers

I came here for breakfast and the service was great and the place itself is very cute, however, me and my table thought the food was very bland. read more

Great homestyle food and friendly service! Love the classic environment of the decor.

Letty's is a spacious corner restaurant and bar in Wildwood, easily accessible. The vintage '50's diner vibe is comfortable and fun! The menu is filled with amazing twists on American diner food with breakfast served ALL day and evening. We've always had excellent food and service. From the chicken fried steak to biscuits and gravy... to burgers and salads, every dish comes out great. I don't know how they do it but I'm glad they do! You should go!!! read more

The ambiance is 50's cafe. The service is always good. The Rueben sandwich is good. The pretzels with beer cheese are great. Did not care for the buffalo chicken salad- a little bit of chicken with a lot of iceberg lettuce. Don't recommend the catfish. It was mushy and when we complained they just brought more mushy fish. read more

Excellent I will be back love t H E atmosphere enjoy the 50s music and the food is the Best read more

Letty Lou's is cool. The servers are really friendly. Food is good. The atmosphere is fun and diner-ish. I do miss their old little corner place on Strecker and Clayton back in the day and the Kaldi's coffee they used to serve. read more

First time here. We came here around lunch time. Wasn't too busy. Service was fast and our waitress was helpful. I love my french dip sandwich. I ordered it with melted Provolone cheese, highly recommended. My friends ordered chicken and waffles. They look like shredded battered deep fried chicken, very small pieces of chicken.. My friends didn't like much. Also ordered Mimosas and Blood Marys, were tasty. Bloody Mary has the perfect level of spice. Yum! This place has some vintage signage on the walls and there is some cute vintage diner seats. New location with high ceilings with retro vibes! + Breakfast all day everyday! + Looks like they have outdoor seating for warmer weather! read more

1st time here. Service was top knotch! Barbara was by far one of the best servers I've had. Never had an empty drink and she was busy but yet on top of everything! Food was amazing! Potatoes wedges and pretzel bites were goo Got the Letty Lou Burger it was not only good but a great experience. Never had a stuffed cheese burger. My son ordered it also but it was stuffed with cheese however the cooks disagreed with us. (This small negative effect didn't effect how much positive we experienced though) If you like burgers get the Lettys burger. It's different! read more

Horrible service! I came around 1pm, restaurant only had a few tables. I waited at least 10 mins on the patio for my order to be taken & no one came. Finally I went inside & asked if I could place my order. Also had to wait again to pay. Grilled cheese was pretty solid, but onion rings were horrible. Grilled cheese came on lightly toasted sourdough bread, there were several kinds of cheese that were really gooey & perfect, and came with tomato. The onion rings were terrible - small shoestring looking onion rings that were limp and had weird thin breading on them. Definitely mad I paid an upcharge for these. If it wasnt for the Grilled cheese being pretty decent, I'd probably be at 1 star for this visit. read more

I think Letty Lou's is a nice vintage-style restaurant that's fun for a lunch. It's good, but extremely expensive for what it is. The service was very nice. They gave me and my family coffee, seated us, made sure our table was clean, the usual. The food was good, as well. Nothing crazy or out of the ordinary. Most American classics are sold here and it's hard to go wrong. They also have food for picky eaters, which is always handy! LOL! read more

'Breakfast, Burgers & Booze' according to the signage out front and the menus. I've only experienced the Burgers. They seem to be calling themselves a Cafe or Cafe & Diner, but there does seem to be a bar area. I didn't get over there so I'm not sure how that part of the business is doing these days. The dining room has 1950s / Route 66 decor. The place is located in a strip mall off Route 109 near an old section of Route 66, so that fits. The service is attentive and friendly. The burgers are amazing. The beef is claimed to be fresh (never frozen) and locally sourced. Having tasted it, I can assure you that was the case for the burger I ate at least. I think these are probably the best burgers you can get your hands on in the metro area. You just can't beat fresh. They have a Jucy (Juicy) Lucy but they don't call it that. There is a cash discount, so bring some. Only room for improvement here is maybe adding some milkshakes to the menu. read more

Petty Lou's is our go-to spot for breakfast. The food is delicious and the potion sizes are good. The main reason we started coming to Letty Lou's was because they are very reasonably priced. They serve breakfast all day, but they also have Burgers, salads, sandwiches, and other items. I personally always get the breakfast so I cannot speak for the rest of the menu, but from what I have tried it is delicious! Compared to the main breakfast chains (I.e. IHOP and Denny's) I would choose Letty Lou's any day. They are a family run business and are always super kind. They always try their best and have never disappointed me. Finally, the aesthetic in the restaurant is very unique. They have a sort of 50's diner aesthetic. One other nice thing is that they have a bar, but it is very separated from the rest of the restaurant. read more

Always good food. And good service at modest pricepoint.price point. The atmosphere is calm. I've never felt rushed.

Great breakfast, fast attentive service. Our server Megan was great! Coffee hot and quickly topped off but a little weak.

Food is good. Nothing special and somewhat overpriced. Had their biscuit and gravy sliders, They were dry so I asked for extra gravy and they tacked an additional $4 to the bill without mentioning this at all. Had I known I would have just sent the plate back. (I never do this but feel it would have been warranted in this case). read more

Food is good, service is fair, only one person working at 12:00pm. But as at most restaurants post Covid, can't get any workers. Decorated like a 50s diner, fun. read more

Good greasy spoon diner spot. Went for breakfast. Most unique, awesomely crispy hash browns I've ever had. They were akin to the potato sticks you'd get in a can. Only issue I had was that my poached egg for my Benedict was over done. Middle was like a hard boiled egg. It's supposed to be runny. My son loved his breakfast of eggs, hash browns and bacon. We will be going back. read more

Was a little hesitant based on past reviews. We just moved to Wildwood and received a coupon to Letty Lou's in our welcome packet. Me and my husband went and got the hipster burger with the crispy fries. So So So good!!! We went earlier this month and have gone back several times since. Lovely service and really great food! read more

1-5-21: So glad that LL's has reopened. We had the fried chicken special with mashed potatoes and green beans. Cooked very well and nice firm green beans that weren't overdone. Portions were good and a nice value for the special. Did takeout and our meal was hot. Burgers looked good too when I went in to pay/pickup. Support this place. They do a great job. read more

Great breakfast/brunch spot in deepest, whitest, Wildwood. Boozzy options if you're into that. Great food, breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner too. We stopped in for post bike ride brunch and tables were relatively easy to grab. Service was great, some of our group had beer (lots of options on tap or bottled), and everyone was super happy with food choices. Good low carb, paleo options for a caveman like me too. Will for sure be back after future weekend rides on Zombie, Greensfelder, or any of the other great trail options in the area. read more

The food here is great! We have patronized this restaurant multiple times and have always been very happy. The staff is fantastic, friendly, attentive and polite! We really enjoy the retro-diner theme and the food is reasonably priced. I tried the fried chicken special last weekend and it was great! Definitely recommend this establishment. read more

A friend and I ate breakfast here , chicken biscuits with gravy, it was delicious!! So I took my husband for dinner thinking we would have the same experience, unfortunately I can't say the same . I ordered the dinner meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, it was awful. The meat was dry and had a real weird consistency and the gravy was hardly warmed. Service was great though and the place is a bit retro inside and plays oldies but goodies which is so much fun to me. read more

Food portions are tasty and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and checks to see how you are doing periodically. For those Senior adults, the music is great and the environment is comfortable. read more

Help me get a gift card for my dad and even brought it up to my car because I had a sleeping baby.

So gonna say very "Meh." Read other reviews and they had the similar experiences. Service was good, but slower than one would normally anticipate. Food was decent, but nothing really mind blowing. They were out of an ingredient for what I ordered, which is not the norm in my resteraunt experience. Glad we stopped and tried it out though. read more

Large menu with breakfast as an option all day! Overall you should check this place out. Not many places around Wildwood serves breakfast but this diner does and it is pretty good. Dog friendly on the patio. Full bar available. Slow service but that is kind of normal in Wildwood. read more

Warning: in case you've seen this posted somewhere and just randomly show up with your dog in tow, Letty Lou's is not pet friendly. This isn't a bad thing, but it was listed somewhere as "dog's allowed" so we showed up with a dog and had to go back home. Not an awesome way to start out breakfast, but it is what it is. Once we were able to finally order, it took ages to get anything accomplished. Service was extremely slow. We had to go up to the hostess stand ourselves and grab our own silverware. Even the bathrooms were very unkempt. Aside from all that, though, the restaurant is pretty cute and the food was decent. I had the biscuits and gravy and cheddar cheese grits. Both were good. Grits were sticky and covered with a layer of cheese, but all that equaled yummy in my book. My husband got the chicken fried steak which he said was good although the gravy was a tad too sweet. I didn't notice any sweetness, so maybe it's all a matter of opinion. Other in our party had the chicken sliders with gravy and a thing called a Dream Bowl which was scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese, gravy and bacon and served over hashbrowns. All my favorites in one bowl! Was told it was pretty good, so next time I'm definitely getting that. Overall, not the best experience but the food made up for it. read more

If you haven't tried this place yet it is a most for local cuisine. Fresh and hot always. Tried the sourdough melt tonight. Deliciously crunchy on the outside and juice on the inside. No pics since I left my phone in the care. I need to express how fabulous the fries are here as well. We try to support local business as much as we can and I am so happy Letty Lois's is back up and running. read more

Great food! Has a 50s diner feel. I have enjoyed every meal I've had. Good service too!

Awesome!!! We called an audible and visited this place for brunch on Saturday morning. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile by the young lady at the front. She sat us right away. The waitress was very friendly and recommended several dishes. We went for a hash brown skillet (can't remember what it was called) and a pancake (the best I have tasted), Eggs Benedict and a French Dip. All of it was DELICIOUS!!! We also had the bottomless mimosas and they were perfect!!! Overall, a great place with awesome food and very friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again soon!! read more

I've been back twice now for breakfast. Equally as good. Don't go though if you are in a hurry. Pancakes are great, the straw hashbrowns.. delicious and eggs always done perfectly. My husband is a fan of the biscuits and gravy. read more

The food is just horrible. It's such a shame because the location is so clean inside and the people are nice.

Dropped a star...would have dropped two but my mom likes the place for breakfast. Just there for dinner. No more dinner menu? We got our water then were abandon. After 20 min we walked out. Several people I know say similar..decent greasy spoon food but crap poor service...service is everything. I dont want to wait 20 min for the waitress to take my order then who knows how long for the food and the check...Which is why we walked out. By the way there were literally 2 other customers in there...one was at the bar. So it wasn't a we are so busy excuse. read more
