Very friendly cafe. It was extremely loud. The service was excellent, but everything was over priced. I had a Sausage and cheese omelette with home, fries, and toast. $23.00. read more

OMG!!! If you are ever in the area, this is a MUST GO TO spot! Stop in and have a delicious breakfast shot, one of her delicious lemonade vodka-basil infused drinks and for goodness sakes, EAT SOMETHING! My husband loves the cornedbeed hash. I devoured the biscuits and homemade sausage gravy. Never disappointed when we come here. read more

This place was da bomb! Best breakfast I've had in years and the Bloody Mary was really good and strong! We sat outside and it was relaxed. Despite Covid - we felt like we were having a normal time since we were outside. I tried the eggs Benedict and the side of hash. I also splurged with the coffee they had kahlua and baileys.. what a treat! read more

Lisa's Cafe - Bananas foster French toast with sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

Food is great! Service was good. Over-priced. Hostess is a grump! She was offensive, aggressive, and just downright rude!

Not a place I would recommend. Had an issue with parking. When told , not asked, to move our car the bartender was rude and confrontational. When asked how much longer for our food waiter was very snarky,which due to time constraints we had to cancel our order. Our host who sat us very pleasant young man. Very dark interior not welcoming for a morning place. Very expensive for breakfast/brunch place. Nothing exceptional about this restaurant. Would not recommend it. Wish I read the reviews before going here. read more

Was very underwhelmed by this place. The food was very average and that's being generous. It was quite expensive. The banana foster was good. The Bloody Mary was supposedly the best ever but it was horrible. I don't recommend it. The traditional eggs Benedict was good except the eggs were over done. The hollandaise sauce was good and the potatoes but that's about it. The service was fine. They don't do Togo food and they don't do any modifications, god forbid you ask to not have something. Lisa the owner was there she was also rude. Ambiance was sub par. Many better options around. read more

The food was good but the overall price, mainly due to high cost of OJ and coffee made the overall cost about $30 per. Again, the food was very good (corned beef hash and sausage gravy are top notch). read more

Service and food was incredible. Lisa takes the time to chat with each table and make you feel welcome. Corned beef omelet was incredible and so was the blood Mary. read more

Food was REALLY good but a bit overpriced. The service was good besides the attempts to get us to buy more food when we knew what we wanted. However, keep in mind that they refuse to do substitutions or even take stuff off, you have to do it yourself. Just a little overly proud of their food and it shows. read more

The owner is so nice and friendly and talks to every table! The drinks and especially the Bloody Mary are so good! It just feels like a mom and pap place that is so welcoming! read more

Very kind staff and nice outdoor seating. The inside of the restaurant is quite dark but that's what gives it its cozy feel. Food is good and would say the portions are a decent size. read more

Fast and good service. Good place to have a breakfast cocktail and breakfast itself. I would recommend this place for a sit down breakfast read more

Lisa is a gem. Her authentic care and appreciation permeates all the things about this spot. Only ate breakfast here but coffee was always hot and strong and cup was always full and it's the service that makes a place special so you know this place is so much special. read more

Will someone fix the front door from banging? Very annoying. Lisa needs to spend less making up rules-all parties must be complete before being seated, no saucer under teapot, etc. No diet coke!? A breakfast place that opens at 9am? It is nice that she circulates & asks people "how is everything," but needs to wait for an answer. When my Lewy Body Dementia partner didn't answer quick enough, she made a comment, "He doesn't talk?" Too brash. Too disrespectful. Prices are too high. read more

Have been coming to Lisa's Cafe for years now. She recently flooded in Helene and her and her staff came back better than ever despite many hurdles. Lisa is originally from Jersey and has been a Madeira local for 25 years, running the restaurant for 15. This restaurant is everything to her and it shows. If you love supporting local and enjoy fresh, delicious breakfast and cocktails, this is the place. The strawberry basil lemonade is a must have. Cheers! read more

I googled the nearest brunch spot after a weekend at the beach & ended up here. So glad I did. There was no line when we got there & we were promptly greeted & seated by who we would later find out is the restaurant's namesake & owner, Lisa. Lisa circles back to give you the run down before ordering-entrée suggestions, specialty drinks, & the fact that her employees come first here (love it!). The food...Y'all...They season their food here!! Like, I'm not even being funny. Didn't have to pick up a salt or pepper shaker once! That's big to me & I was highly impressed. We ordered the Lisa's Homemade Corned Beef Hash & Eggs (with a side of grits & country ham) and Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. The grits weren't the creamy consistency that I'm used to but, other than that, everything was excellent. My mango mimosa was on point & not filled to the brim with juice with just a splash of bubbly like some other places (the disrespect :-/ ). A few things to keep in mind when deciding to dine here: 1. It's pretty much a scratch kitchen. With that being said, all of the alterations, substitutions, "I have a gluten allergy so may I have breadless toast?" stuff is a no-no. 2. The inside isn't very large & the patio was closed when we dined in so, if you are coming with a large party, I suggest maybe calling ahead. 3. The food is good but do not expect heaping, overflowing plates. The amount served is satisfying, but you probably won't have anything left over for a doggy bag. 4. Lisa...We love Lisa! She was extremely hospitable & we had amazing conversation throughout our meal. She is a no-nonsense Jersey girl with a tough exterior but a good heart. We're making Lisa's a must stop any time we travel to the Madeira Beach/Clearwater area. read more

What a gem of a diner and the owner, Lisa, is as amazing! The food is fresh and drinks are delicious. The staff and service are great as well. We ate here during our stay and loved it! read more

Went here on Mother's Day to celebrate with my Mom, Dad and Grandma. It was good food but expensive. I loved my meal of the Eggs Benedict but not enough to return because of the pricing unfortunately. It cost the four of us about $100 to have breakfast. I will say the staff was very nice and helpful when helping select meals. It was a nice touch to give the mothers each a rose for the day. read more

This was a special brunch experience! A great way to start our beach weekend. Make sure Lisa tells you "the highlights" of the menu. SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH! We overheard Lisa welcoming people from Boston and Maryland for return visits. Bananas Foster French Toast was delightful and generous. The cocktails are potent and pretty. Don't miss this gem in the clutter of Gulf Blvd! These Atlantans will be returning! read more

Lisa's Cafe - Greek Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

5-stars for food, but they get a ding for the hidden upsell charges. We ride bicycles daily and wanted to try a new place. Someone said to try Lisa's and they were right. We had excellent food and a pretty quick kitchen was in full effect. Biscuits and gravy, and french toast were quite yummy, and recommended. Now, the ding. And I'm posting here instead of sending to the operator direct because it's a small but annoying trait many restaurants deploy. The hidden charge for two orders of side bacon (also $6 for three slices???) needs to be stricken from the servers' pitch. The server asked if we wanted "some fries or bacon with that?" It's a move that no consumer likes to be surprised by, the "hidden" upsell. And then to be kinda bamboozled, we paid $12 extra for 6 pieces of bacon. I hope the owner or manager reads this and alters their upsell strategy because this review would have been an extra great review because the food was so delicious. Instead, they traded a glowing 5-star for a meh 4-star... all for $12 and a business practice that should end. That all being ranted about, food was great and we were served pretty quickly. Just didn't like the hidden charges =) Go there and enjoy the food!!! read more

When we walked in Lisa was rude and said that we better tip and not be "ten percenters". She continued on about how we better tip which I thought was super unprofessional and weird. Then the server who brought us waters threw are drinks down and said your welcome each time before we could even say thank you. It came off very passive aggressive. Then when one of us ordered the breakfast sandwich, she asked for no side, and then the server suggested she can do a side of strawberries instead. When suggesting that, she failed to mention that a SMALL side of strawberries was an extra 7 DOLLARS. She completely failed to mention any up charge and suggested she could sub the side of strawberries. Another one of us ordered a "iced late" and they brought out plain black coffee that was nothing like an iced latte and the coffee was also 7 dollars. Completely overpriced food for rude staff and bad service. Our girl server was nice but we felt judged there and we were thrown off from the start by the tipping comment. By the way, that's not how you get people to tip. read more

Very hospitable staff that strive to provide patrons with a cozy and enjoyable dining experience. The food is scrumptious and made fresh to order. Lisa-the owner- runs a great restaurant! A must try for anyone visiting Madeira Beach!! read more

Friends and I went to Lisa's this morning. We found Lisa to be extremely off-putting. As we tried to enter the restaurant she yelled at us to join the line that was forming on the side of the building. There were no clear signs or instructions on where to check in. Lisa shared, "I don't take names for waiting. People know their place in line. Haven't had any fist fights yet!" Once seated, we waited an extremely lengthy time before our Server ever even said hello. Slow service was the theme of the meal. I was offered a refill on coffee and never received it. From there, the food was mediocre at best. My friend hated her eggs Benedict and my fiancé thought his biscuits and gravy were too spicy. I did enjoy the Bananas Foster French Toast but the ham steak was inedible. The server never checked on us until she brought the check and I asked her to take the ham off the bill. They obliged but Lisa did stop by and inform me so kindly (sarcasm) that I was the first customer to send the ham back in 11 years. This would be a one star review, but this place earns a second star because our server did have a sunny disposition and the iced lava coffee was on point. read more

As many of the reviews indicated, Lisa is not one for providing good customer service. She was more concerned with larger parties than dealing with seating my son and I. Once we were seated, after being passed over for two larger parties, we were seated. Our waitress was fine, nothing fantastic. Everything, like many mentioned, was an up-charge. I had a Togo order as well which was not boxed up and I ended up having to box it in small Togo boxes because that's all they had. It was just a shi!show! My son got the French Toast, $14, and I want you to please look at the picture of what we received. We asked for powdered sugar, at a minimum, and they didn't have anything. Also the dish didn't come with a side. My dish was average, nothing special. The potatoes were completely covered in black pepper. Lisa made a comment to a table about a group, who she got into a verbal spat with over their seating and left, that if people can't appreciate her amazing food, they should just go to the Waffle House. Um, I'd have much rather have WH! Anyways, don't waste your time or money on her place! read more

Only went to this place because my hotel had a sign that recommended it. Boy did i make a HUGE mistake. Do NOT come here!!!! Prices are stupid high. The food is mid. The owner is SUPER rude. Would NEVER have came after the experience i had here. Go to waffle house over this. Edit: They actually chase you out the restaurant for a tip after horrible service legit one of the WORST places i have EVER been to. read more

Go BEFORE you're starving, they are busy and everything is made fresh so you'll be waiting 30-45 minutes for your food. If you know this going in, I think your experience will be better. We were greeted as soon as we walked in & the owner told us it wouldn't be long before she could get us an inside booth. The place is small so we felt like we were in the way no matter where we were standing even though the staff assured us we were fine. It was a little uncomfortable. The food was excellent. A tad overpriced but that's likely because of location (Beach prices for tourists). The mimosas are HUGE! The breakfast potatoes are seasoned amazingly! The corned beef hash is not from a can and tastes pretty good. The grits were hearty but lacked flavor. On a busy weekend morning, you might not find parking as there's only a few spots. We ended up at the end of the block in metered public beach access parking. The walk wasn't far at all but that lot is also very small & it's kinda a bummer to pay for parking just to eat. read more

Love the Bloody Mary and Eggs Benedict. Nice to sit inside or outside if it's not too hot. I am leaving Florida and will miss Lisa's Cafe.

Food was delicious and the service matches. All fresh ingredients prepared very well. This will go into the rotation on our fall trip here.
