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

The food was AMAZING the, the service was quick and the people were so nice. The bananas foster French toast was incredible and the eggs Benedict was the best in town! The drinks were absolutely perfec! 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

The best food! The best drinks! Best service! And the best of all was Lisa, she is passionate and dedicated to her perfect little spot. read more

I made a special trip and drove 30 miles to re-visit Lisa's Cafe. I enjoyed my previous meal there when friends were down from Michigan. The staff was friendly and the food good but over priced. I won't be returning due to the Owner being so rude and mean. Before we ordered we asked to move tables as were directly in front of the freezing down draft of the wall AC unit. Lisa, the owner, came to us and said loudly "are you going to stay where you're at now, because I have to sanitize the table each time you move." It didn't seem to matter to her we would freeze and our food would be cold once placed in front of us. Another couple stopped by as leaving joking about us being reprimanded and that they moved from the same spot , same reason, but Lisa wasn't aware. I should have left then but felt it wasn't the wait staff's fault she was abrupt and nasty. read more

Lisa's was a great experience. We sat at the bar and Lisa herself served up the drinks and convo! My wife had an amazing Pina Colada. The red sangria was great too. My wife got a hash with sausage gravy and it was delicious. I had a breakfast croissant sandwich that was very tasty. Grits were perfect too. Friendly, welcoming place. Will go again! read more

Lisa's Cafe is AMAZING! Their crab eggs Benedict is my favorite!! Adding one of their many fantastic drinks (the Bloody Mary is custom created by Lisa herself!) makes breakfast/brunch perfect! Service is always stellar! A must go! 5 Stars across the board! read more

The Food is amazing. Lisa Is wonderful and Service is amazing too. Bananas foster French toast and home made corned beef hash were our favorites. read more

Love this place Lisa is amazing and funny staff is also great . Mango mimosa's and brunch food Amazos .. Must go !!! 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.

This place was very good. They make everything from scratch. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the scrambled egg white were not good. read more

Lisa's Cafe - The wheat toast was excellent - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

If they were out of corn beef hash they should have told me, not just scrap a few leftovers on my plate. The water was just unfiltered tap water. Potatoes were tasty but a little too salty. Sorry we came here. read more

Lisa's Cafe - Looks like they ran out of corn beef hash. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

We enjoyed our brunch today. I had the low carb egg white omelette with a Piña. The Piña wasn't particularly strong, but I enjoyed that it was on the rocks vs frozen. My Dad had the low carb omelette and my hubby had the Western omelette with the spicy Bloody. He said his drink was enjoyably spicy, but not too strong. The food was good and filling. The taste wasn't excellent, but it was enjoyable. I enjoyed sitting outside while under shade. The other two in my party felt hot; I thought it felt great. Our server, Dallas, was very friendly and responsive. The owner, Lisa, sat us and reviewed the menu with us. It was an enjoyable brunch! 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

We were bummed with our experience- both the service and the food. We were forgotten about while waiting for a table and the food didn't have good flavors. We tried the hyped crab cake Benedict with cheese grits ($2 extra dollars to add cheese?) and the banana French toast. Way too expensive for the quality. :( read more

Hidden gem in Madeira Beach. Very limited hours, 9-2 with being closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Great experience, everyone was super kind and sweet! Gave great recommendations on what was popular or what tasted good. The biscuit and gravy is soooo good! Spicy but so good! Also super affordable being right in the tourist heavy area. Forgot to take pictures before we are a few bites but here they are anyway! Definitely worth a visit. :) read more

Great outside atmosphere! Food was just okay. I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict and I like when my eggs run when I cut into it... way over cooked! The home fries (potatoes) were decent. My husband ordered the bacon, egg and cheese croissant... he stayed it was decent. The service was good, attentive and greeted us with a smile. Prices are decent for the beach. Overall I would say... it's just okay. read more

Fabulous find in Madeira Beach. Stopped in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. Lisa made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. Great breakfast! The strawberry vodka lemonade was the bomb. Best home fries we've ever had. Crab cake Benedict was outstanding. Breakfast was so good we made reservations for dinner the same night. Dinner was just as fabulous. The homemade bread was to die for. Awesome cocktails as well. Lisa's passion was clearly evident. Best food we had in Madeira Beach! read more

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

Absolutely terrible service. Immediately scolded for trying to walk into the establishment asking us to wait and back-up out of the patio area. Waited patiently as the line grew longer. After a few minutes, a lady......assuming the owner came through with grocery bags since she obviously wasn't prepared for the day to serve customers. As she went inside, and came back out, she bypassed my girlfriend and I and immediately asked the people behind us where they wanted to sit. The fellow potential patrons stared at us, held their arms up and said, "They were here first." The potential owner said, "Well if any of you want faster service, you'll have to sit inside." She acted like a complete moron and could not decide which table to have any one sit at. We decided on the only logical table that was outside that could seat two people. After seating ourselves and waiting since we were told to, we got to wait even longer. In fact, it gave us the opportunity to find an even hidden gem, the Frog Pond! Long story short, the assumed owner has a bad attitude and could obviously care less about who's visiting her establishment. Terrible service all the way around. We have already posted this to our social media accounts (which I hate) to spread the news of our experience. Oh, and we're LOCAL! DUECES LISA. read more

This is a true foodie experience. Lisa and her crew take great pride in their made from scratch meals and it shows in every bite. Our group ordered corned beef hash, eggs Benedict, spinach and feta omelet. We also enjoyed Bloody Mary's and Lisa's coffee. Everything was so good we got a half gallon of mango Bellini's to go for the beach! Enjoyed every bit of it! read more

This is just my experience Just had crab eggs Benedict was ok to my taste little cold I wish the plate was little more hot but was ok I give 3 star just because the food was not hot for my taste . Good location read more

Ruuuuude old bat!!!! READ THE DOZENS of reviews about this lady before you go here. How do you have THIS many negative reviews about the owner/manager and she doesn't get a handle on it. I gave it a two because we didn't have the food. read more

Wow!! The combination of the personal attention from Lisa, who is a beautiful force of nature that's rare these days, and the amazing food, delicious one-of-a-kind Bloody Mary, prompt service, and great conversation at the bar with locals and other visitors has secured this place as my hands down best experience in the US for dining. Not joking. I will definitely return and am sad that I fly back home tomorrow and will miss this place dearly until I return. read more

Don't let the name "cafe" full you. This is an from-scratch gourmet joint. I was expecting your normal greasy spoon but that it was not. As soon as you walk in, Lisa herself greets you and makes you aware that nothing is store bought and they make it all themselves. She also highly encourages you to order an adult beverage but we did not lol Food was really good. No complaints there at all. We were not looking for anything fancy so just stuck with a breakfast sandwich and egg/bacon/home fries plate. Everything was cooked properly to order and in a timely manner and the place was hopping! read more

This is truly a hidden gem!!! Lisa the owner is a great host! You will feel like you're in her home. Alex is cool as well. The double shot Mango Mimosas and the Bloody Mary are $9 you're not going to find that price no where on the beach. For breakfast I had the cheese grits, corn beef hash and a fried egg. My husband had the fried egg, sausage and pancakes (they were to thick but good. My sister had the corn beef hash omelette and my brother-in-law's had the French toast (so good). Everything was well seasoned and delicious. Didn't post pictures of the food because I was so hungry (the wait for our food was long). I would say don't come in here if you're in a hurry, this is a true relax atmosphere and is worth the wait. Plus the food is fresh and the presentation is everything. read more

Solid! That's the experience in a nutshell. Located just across the street from the Barefoot Beach Club, my lady love and I ordered two different breakfast entrees and shared them. We agreed that the food was delicious. The black coffee I ordered was likewise a flavorful entry. A manager.. or perhaps owner prowled about and ensured the quality of the meal met her standard. She corrected an order at an adjacent table and was very gracious while doing so. Management by walking around!!! I love that style. Good job! Two happy customers here! read more

Maybe it was on off day at Lisa's OR maybe some of the 5 star reviews are suspect... SERVICE - Came for Brunch, no wait, greeted by an overbearing Lisa. Sat on patio. -Long wait for food, 35 min for eggs dishes. -Observed 3 out of the 10 occupied tables complain to staff about their food. - Someone else's order was dropped off at our table... -2 older gentlemen were waiting 10-15 min for a table, even though one was cleaned and empty. Heard the waiter tell them "sorry no one told me you were waiting". -Our waiter was inattentive. Not rude, but unfriendly. FOOD - Had the eggs & hash, with cheesy grits. Nothing to write home about. - We ordered an egg sandwich on an English muffin (instead of croissant), English muffin was VERY soggy and barely toasted. Ironically the rye toast that came with the eggs & hash was ROCK HARD. ATMOSPHERE -Patio looks cute as you drive by. But when you sit down you notice the music is a bit loud. PLUS there is a LOT of traffic noise. Our waiter couldn't hear us a few times, and vice versa. NOT at all a relaxing atmosphere. As Ryan O posted, you want to support the industry in these times. But there is just so much wrong here. I am giving an extra star incase this was an off day for the crew. read more

I'm a full supporter of the restaurant industry and servers. Especially during these tough Covid times. But poor customer service and communication is inexcusable. We arrived here 10am for breakfast to quite a few empty tables. Greeted by a nice lady but she seemed a little frantic & rushed. She took our name & told us to wait on the sidewalk. After 5 min we watched another table of 4 walk right in and get seated. When I walked back in to question this I was cut off before I could even finish my sentence. The male server at the front was extremely rude and said that our name was called and we missed it. He had quite the attitude and didn't offer any apology or solution for us still getting a table. Again, many open tables. So we left. I'm sure the food is good as the reviews say but we didn't get a chance to try it. read more

Guys.. come here. The food is incredible and everything is made from scratch. Cocktail was WILD good. Strawberry basil lemonade. I also want to speak to the comments regarding Lisa's attitude.. She was not rude to us at all, in fact we LOVED her. She is direct, candid and genuine. She just doesn't have that "I'm sucking up to you for a good tip" vibe that you get in restaurants. She's a no BS type of lady. And I dig that. read more

The rudest!!!! Open tables everywhere but apparently not for four people and wouldn't let us sit at a 6 top. At the same time another 4 ladies came and she wouldn't let them sit at the table either but wanted us to all (as strangers) squeeze into a 6 top (8 adult people) then when we told her we were uncomfortable she Proceeded to embarrass us in front of all the tables, referring to us as princesses! When we passed by later she sarcastically waved to us yelling princesses. read more

Food is really good but by all means, avoid the bloody mary's. Totally undrinkable. That much horseradish is never found in nature. I will recommend the breakfast burger. read more

Our family is staying in the area for a wedding and stumbled upon Lisa's Cafe. All around, the breakfast was amazing from the staff, to the breakfast cocktails and coffee, to the delicious breakfast.
