Breakfast and double deckers too!
Margie N.

Samantha was our server and she was on it! I ordered corned beef hash and she assured me it was real and not out of a can. The food took a little while to come out but Samantha kept my coffee full and hot! When the food arrived it was delicious! The potatoes were real and cooked with onions. Then grilled corned beef on top of that . My husband had chicken fried steak and eggs. Served with sausage gravy, it was very tasty! The place was packed but not too noisy. I found my new favorite breakfast spot! It is in the old Red Squirrel, and yes, they still have double deckers. Thanks, Samantha, for your excellent service and constant smile. You put the cherry on top. We will be back!

Breakfast of champions

2nd time here and it will be a staple for every trip to the area. Basic diner food - which is exactly what I want. Eggs, goetta, sausage, hash browns, toast, and hot coffee. And say hello to Missy who might be the friendliest waitress in Cincy.

Three sunny side up with home fries and bacon
Stu F.

Ordered the Homestyle Hash which is their skillet. Asked for eggs over easy- they were perfect. Really good service, toast made fresh per order, and decent coffee. Only things that was a negative for me was the precooked bacon of about 15 lbs. I usually order bacon but passed on it today.

Over easy with turkey sausage

I've had breakfast/brunch several times at this cozy homey eatery, going all the way back to 2015. We used to live in the vicinity and it's not far from the church I attend. Food is very good. You get what you order and they are not averse to substitutions. Service is friendly. Seating is comfortable. The diner holds a good number of people, and be prepared for it to be packed full on a Saturday or Sunday. Those are not the times to go if you're in a rush, obviously. Prices are reasonable. Their take on corned beef hash is totally different from what you'd expect to get. It's more like shredded corned beef mixed up with home fries. You may or may not care for that; I don't like it. As mentioned the parking lot, which serves several storefronts, is difficult, although there are a handful of spaces actually reserved for Lisa's Kitchen so you may get lucky. I believe you can park in neighboring lots. This is my choice over a soulless chain restaurant, any day. If you're hungry for lunch or breakfast in Fairfield, get in here.

Fresh made coffee

Let me share my experience at Lisa's Kitchen. I was in the area for a three-day conference and decided to check out brunch options on Yelp. Lisa's Kitchen, just 5 minutes from my hotel, caught my eye. Most of their customers are seniors, which speaks volumes about the service. The staff, from the lady at the register to my waitress, were older but incredibly kind, attentive, and respectful. The atmosphere inside felt cozy and family-friendly, more like a homely diner than a typical restaurant. It was quiet, and everyone seemed to be there to enjoy a good meal. Now, onto the food. I ordered the regular breakfast burrito with bacon and sausage, served with hash browns. It was delicious! What sets it apart? Probably the passion and dedication of the people behind it, who clearly love what they do. Special shoutout to Kelly for her outstanding hospitality. She made sure I had everything I needed, just like being at my favorite aunt's house. The food arrived promptly, taking only 5-8 minutes from order to table. I highly recommend this place, and if I ever find myself back in Cincinnati, I'll definitely be returning to Lisa's Kitchen. Oh by the way I spent less than $15 on the food.

Omelette and a grilled chicken salad
Eric O.

Lunch with the wife. She had an omelette. Her omelette was good but the potatoes could have been cooked more. I had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup, very good. Also a grilled chicken salad. Very good also. Great service. Clean restaurant.

Create Your Own Omelette with ham, cheese & mushrooms. Country style potatoes
Debbie L.

We're spending a week in Fairfield visiting family and Lisa's was recommended for breakfast. Beautiful clean interior. I had the omelet with mushrooms, cheese & ham with country style potatoes. Very yummy! Coffee was good & our waitress was friendly & answered our questions about the local area. A great place to start your day.

Cuban (1/2) and kids pancake and sausage - yummy!

See all

I was hungry about 3:30am this morning and we went here to eat. I haven't been to a Waffle House in…read moresome time. So the pick up window was new to me. They also charge "2" 10% tips. I don't think s justified considering the food was cold. The grits were cold but more importantly the bacon was pre cooked maybe from a few days prior and cold. It reminded me of beef jerky but I did not eat it. I'm truly disappointed. It was too many workers tonight to be served with cold food.

This location is near Jungle Jim's, another favorite stop in the area. Nate and I walked in around lunch time on the day after Thanksgiving and the place was almost full. We grabbed a couple of seats at the counter and were greeted right away. Waffle House is known for their hash browns, which you can customize as the following toppings: -smothered: sautéed onions -covered: melted American cheese -chunked: ham -diced: tomatoes -peppered: jalapenos -capped: grilled mushrooms -topped: chili -country: sausage gravy -all the way: everything The menu also includes basic diner staples as well as some lunch items like burgers, sandwiches, and the newer hashbrown bowls. Nate ordered a waffle and some hash browns (smothered, covered, chunked, and capped) and I got the patty melt which also comes with hash browns. The line at Waffle House is fun to watch - they don't print any tickets and all the orders are just shouted out to the cooks who remember everything and cook on the fly. They use a marking system on the plates with different condiments and ingredients to indicate the orders as well. It's super fascinating to me! Our food was done quickly and our server was great - super on top of refills and checked in with us a few times. The patty melt was delicious. It'll be hard to pick between that and breakfast the next time I'm at Waffle House! The patty itself was thicker than I expected and juicy. The Texas toast was perfectly toasted and the hash browns were super crispy. I really liked the waffle too. I'm already looking forward to my next WaHo visit!

A true diner experience!…read more First time in and I'm no stranger to enjoying diners, but this place was as diner as they get! And there's nothing wrong with that, simple, fast, relaxed kind of vibe. Staff welcomes you when you walk in, open seating so you have options at a booth or right up front at the counter where you can watch your food being made. The kitchen is right there in the open so you can sit in on the fun anywhere in the restaurant. Servers are very nice and straight to the point on taking your order. Food comes fast and is pretty basic, no real thrills as in you get what you order, nothing fancy. I enjoyed my classic waffles, simple but fluffy and coffee wasn't half bad. Had that real diner feel that I enjoy when it comes to light laughter from the cooks and staff in the kitchen and the heartily hellos to regulars that come in. It's just that warmness you get, like a neighborly acquaintance vibe you can't find anywhere else.
