Where the magic happens. Kitchen is super clean
Amy D.

Came for breakfast today and I don't think that I have ever raved about the quality of soda at Lil Jon's , just the right amount of carbonation to syrup ratio and they soda is never flat! It was busy today but as usual the service was amazing and the food was exceptional!

Chicken Fried Steak, Eggs Benedict
Sean H.

My new favorite brunch spot, and it's only a few minutes from me! Came here on a Tuesday afternoon and got greeted and seated right away. The overall ambiance was very pleasant and old school, yet very cozy. Service was excellent. Our server whose name I forgot was very friendly and warm. Checked up on us regularly and made sure we had our refills. We ordered the chicken fried steak and the eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was pretty solid but the chicken fried steak was probably one of the best I've ever had. Definitely coming back.

Vegetable omelet
Smrithi S.

We were nearby and decided to have brunch here last weekend. The place was packed, but we were seated quickly. We ordered Vegetable Omelet, Eggs Benedict, 1/2 French Toast, side of Bacon, Coffee, and Hot Chocolate. We loved all the items we ordered, the ingredients were fresh, and everything well made and delicious. This is great breakfast served all day, we'll be back soon.

Breakfast 2*
Diana C.

The food was decent. I wish there was a little more variety or options for breakfast. I also wish there were more vegetarian or vegan options. The server was perfunctory. It's a classic diner with retro decor and it's pretty busy and noisy. It's got a fast turnover rate for tables which is great if you're in a hurry.

Great spot for some comfort American foods. Love their vibe, give me one of those back to the 60-80 diner environment! They do have a bar connected to it as well. Large variety of selection on their menu. Breakfast serves all day as well. Most of their entrees comes with a soup or salad, and a side of fries, mash, or baked potato after 5pm. I got their fried clam strip, gumbo soup, and a side of mash potato. It was good. Especially the soup. Expect the fried clam were in the boarder line of burnt. Haha, good service and price for what you get!

Food: 10/10, probably the best chicken fried steak I've had. Service: 0/10, lady in my section did not check in on me when I needed a water refill. She walked around literally every table but mine. POS: 0/10, I understand that the cashier does their job, but why charge me twice for my breakfast when I showed proof of purchase via my banking app. I dined in 11/1, 6:30-8:00 am.

The Classic
Nancy F.

A Classic always Solid and always reliable. If it's not broke don't fix it! Consistently great food, big portions with a reasonable prices. Eat at a Legend you won't be disappointed

Pancakes
Michelle K.

This is our favorite diner on the eastside. Food is consistently delicious and service is quick and friendly as well. Pancakes are massive (hand for size reference lol) just go!!!

Giant pancake
Emily T.

Cute old fashioned diner in East Gate. Very busy, extremely loud, surly waitress. Food is mid. Good hash browns. Had better pancakes. Busy even weekdays. Too loud to hear each other. Try to sit on the right side.

It was a lovely sunny day so it was nice being outside - they do have large umbrellas but it doesn't cover the whole group so it can get a bit hot in direct sun. We didn't realize it, but we accidentally came during restaurant week (although we were supposed to have brunch). Since they only had 3 things on their brunch menu, we opted for the restaurant week menu. We tried the shishito peppers, poutine, tomato soup, burger, spaghetti, lemon tart, and a pate choux. A 3 course was $35 which is reasonable (portions were pretty small so easy to finish). The highlight were the tempura shishito peppers; the aioli that came with the peppers was delicious and the peppers themselves were hot and crispy. The poutine appetizers was unfortunately disappointing (very meaty, actually no curds at all and large soggy potatoes). The entrees took awhile to come out which wasn't a problem since we were just socializing. The burger was decent; it came with a goat cheese and the soup was good. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the pasta; portion was very small and it was very very salty (and had capers on top which did not help). We ended up getting our desserts to go since our group was heading to the wineries and tried them later. We did enjoy the dessert. The lemon tart portion was very small but tasty and the pate choux was also good too, so I would recommend the desserts here. I think this place is great for large groups and had a pleasant experience overall, but the rating is for the food alone which I was unfortunately pretty disappointed in.

We ordered the whipped feta dip, the artichoke dip, the pepperoni flatbread and the prosciutto apple flatbread all of those were freaking delicious amazing. This place has so much potential if they improved their service. The service was so bad it took 45 min to get our first round of drinks. Our server was really nice but maybe stretched too thin bc she forgot to put our order in and threw away her paper that she wrote it on so she had to come re take our order. We had full intentions of ordering entrees from here but they were out of the main dishes. Just seems like the kitchen manager isn't planning well, staff doesn't have help from management. The only thing keeping this restaurant afloat is the view and the DJ

Tried Sama during a Yelp experience and ended up bringing home their Grenache 2023 (Raga)…read more Loved that the tasting was done in test tubes--it made it easy to go back and forth and land on something I really loved. And this one stood out right away. Light to medium-bodied, led by bright cherry notes with a subtle hint of spice, and a smooth, easy finish that keeps you going back for another sip. Balanced, elegant, and just bold enough without feeling heavy. Definitely a bottle worth savoring.

We had the whole place to ourselves and sat near the large windows. Elisa gave us time to look through the menu then promptly brought our red flight and explained each wine to us. As a past chemist, I loved the test tube presentation and connection to the winemaker's bio! We also liked having all 5 wines at once to go at our own pace. My order of preference: CDR, Syrah, Grenache, cinsault, cabernet. My partners: Cabernet, Syrah,CDR, Grenache, cinsault. Other things to note.. the music was . I enjoyed reading about the many meanings of SAMA in the menu. The winemaker, Chaz, has a great bio in the menu as well. We had a lovely time.

We did, but we were early -- and he immediately told us it wasn't a problem. He cracked a few jokes, which instantly made us feel welcome and happy to be there. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and set the tone for a fantastic evening. We were shown to our seats but noticed the bar was open, so we chose to sit there instead. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He asked about our evening, whether we were celebrating anything special, and genuinely made us feel valued. His service and cocktails were top-notch. He took the time to understand what we liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and every drink was excellent. On top of that, two different servers stopped by to check on us and let us know they were available if we needed anything while the bartender was busy. That level of teamwork and attentiveness really stood out. What started as a quick nightcap turned into a much longer stay because of how welcoming and enjoyable the atmosphere was. The staff truly made the experience. Highly recommend -- and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.
