Food was fresh and hot. I had the 1/2 lb cheeseburger and fries and my daughter had the french toast and we both cleaned our plates.

Great service. Breakfast was phenomenal! Homecooked, large portions and everything is extremely tasty.

Very good food and friendly service. Diner feel. Very clean and comfortable. The breakfast bowl with goetta special today was great read more

Cute little diner type of establishment, where everybody calls you honey or baby. Great attentive and friendly service too. I stumbled in here after a little weekend trip to this part of the world, so I thought I would try a local specialty. Ordered the Goetta Ruben... what is Goetta you ask? Apparently a mystery meat loosely based on a German sausage filling and maybe crossed with a breakfast sausage. Brown crumbly and flavorful. Surprisingly tasty on a Ruben. The fries were also done very well, nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as they should be. read more

I was in the area with my BFF and wanted breakfast. So here we ended up since I seen it on Yelp and wanted to try it. Oddly we both ordered the same meal, normally we try different things and share, but this trip was different. The food was very good and I would gladly come back here again. The coffee wasn't bad either. I am happy to say I would gladly come here for breakfast anytime I am in the area and enjoy a good and tasty meal. The staff was wonderful and the place was very clean. Parking is limited, but it is worth finding a spot to try the place. I will be back. read more

Awesome. Go here. Packed for lunch. That's a great sign. Another Yelp hidden gem. All the food looked good. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich. Came with Kringle cut fries. Sandwich was crispy and hot. Fries were excellent. And very reasonable. I'm a simple guy. I like and want the best. Doesn't have to be fancy. This place isn't fancy but what a great place to eat. read more

I'm from Southern California and was visiting for a convention and decided to eat both breakfast mornings here. Food is excellent with great service. Loved biscuits and gravy. Grits were on point. Thank you for great service and food. God bless read more

Great local eaterie! I live in Fairfield, so I'm always on the hunt for solid food. Lisa's is my go to. I had breakfast Saturday. Decided to order Steak and Eggs- now for 12.00 I gotta tell you my expectations weren't too high on the steak, but it was killah! Cooked perfectly, with nice runny eggs and crispy hash browns. Thumbs up! Cheerful service and strong coffee too. Eat here it's good. read more

I went here for breakfast and had the biscuits and gravy. The food, coffee, and service from (Kel) was amazing. Prices are reasonable too.

In town on business and so needing more than the Marriott has been offering for breakfast, Quick search and I see "home made Hash" AMAZING food , service was also over the top great I'll be back every time I'm in Cincinnati without question Food and service done right , this road warrior left full and happy :) read more

Consistently good, friendly, reasonable tasty and feels like home. The servers are the best in the business. Always hustling and checking up. The owner is very hands on. If you haven't said hello to Lisa you should. It's spotless in there. read more

**** Review 18**** Stopped by for breakfast. The atmosphere is great, staff treats you like family, food was amazing, and very reasonably priced. Ordered the Corn beef hash & Eggs. Very delicious, eggs were cooked just like I wanted them and the corn beef was superb. Also ordered a waffle, this was probably one of the best waffles I've ever had! Crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside. Lightly covered with powder sugar and added some butter and syrup. Lisa, the owner, was my waitress and she was great. If all the food is as good as what I had today I'll definitely be back! Check out the pics I posted. read more

This restaurant has clean tasting food, great service, and fair prices. Highly recommend.

After having a disappointing experience a few months ago (40-minute wait for food), we decided to give Lisa's another chance for breakfast on Sunday. After being seated, we waited 10 minutes before we saw a waitress. After ordering, we waited another 35 minutes for our food (pancakes and French toast). I'd give the food a "B". As we left I mentioned the long wait and was told they were short-staffed (again?), but isn't everyone now? My wife and I will probably not return. Gary B. read more

Food is decent but the service and atmosphere are unbeatable! My boyfriend and I enjoy coming here for the customer service and small restaurant vibe mostly :) read more

Excellent food & service, friendly atmosphere It's my newest favorite place to eat, breakfast or lunch at, the only downside is they're only open until 2pm so I normally can't go eat there except on weekends or if I have a day off or get off work early. read more

This a very down-home diner with friendly, welcoming and "no-nonsense" service. The food is adequate. While it is not fantastic or nothing to write home about, it is still good and worth a visit. One really good thing is the price. You can get a good meal at a decent, if not low, price. Because the place is small, they use mirrors to make it appear larger. It think probably part of its charm. Overall, my experience was a good one. read more

My first time here but it won't be my fast. Great service Amazing home style food Cheap! My kind of place. read more

This was a great experience. We were greeted immediately after entering and we were told to sit anywhere we wanted. Missy was very cordial and a great waitress. Our food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The three people in our party ate for $25 total before tip. The other patrons were friendly as well. Everyone smiled, and had a pleasant demeanor. When traveling again to this area, we will definitely return. read more

We were shopping nearby and stopped in for a bite. Traveling from out of state. Very impressed with the entire experience from the service to the food quality and presentation. Been eating out a fair amount on this trip, this has been our best experience yet. read more

This place isn't for Black people. My friend and I walked in and the entire place came to a halt. We were told to seat ourselves but people came in after were seated by someone. It took almost 10 mins for someone to come to our table. The food came out warm not hot. The only time the waitress asked if everything was ok is when she dropped the bill off. And when she asked the entire section seated near us literally turned in their seats waiting for our response!! It was eerie. The girl who rang us out wouldn't even look at me. She asked if things were ok while looking down at the counter the entire time. From beginning to end, it was horrible. read more

The picture of what a small diner should be. Excellent food and wonderful service. And very affordable especially for families.

Had lunch/brunch here last Sunday. It is a classic coffee shop/diner. The food is good and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the eggs Benedict special, but the eggs were not cooked as fully as eggs Benedict should be. Hubby had an omelet which had minimal ingredients, it was just a little more than scrambled eggs. read more

Good food, great service, pleasantly surprised I appreciate that they avoid some "cheap" choices that many Diners don't. (They don't go for off-brand ingredients - jelly, ketchup, hot sauce, etc...) I will come back read more

The food was decent, nothing special. Over priced, but the one star review is for what I overheard. My waitress was across the restaurant from me talking to another customer about a trip she was thinking about taking to California. She said "it's in San Francisco, that's where all the gay people are." I was as far away from her as I could have been in the restaurant, and she said it loud enough for me to hear. This is completely unacceptable behavior, especially in a public setting, at your job. None of the other workers called her out on it or even seemed to react in any way. I wanted to give a local restaurant my business while waiting for service on my car. It's really a shame this is how she represented her business today. read more

went for a weekday. Breakfast service was good. Food was fine and the atmosphere was comfortable. Parking is an issue. It takes some maneuvering to find a spot. Nice neighborhood spot. read more

I had no idea this was here! I love their coffee. They have a great selection of food to choose from. Priced really well and quick service. Food was really good. I did the create your own omelette. Ham, bacon and cheese with hashbrowns & toast. I could not finish it all. Give it a go! Great hidden place. read more

The service was excellent! And the food was delicious- arrived quickly, was exactly as requested and hot off the grill. Can't wait to come back! read more

Very solid 4 stars! The food was great & service was great. Came here on a Sunday for lunch with my boyfriend & we loved it. Boyfriend got the Philly cheese steak which I thought he would regret as he is a PennStation lover. (& how can you top that, right?) But it was actually very good & flavorful. Most places who serve a Philly I find are sort of dry & not greasy or cheesy enough. This one was very cheesy. Soft bread. Good flavored meat from the onions, mushrooms, & green peppers. The only thing he commented on was that he thought it was small. But by the time he finished that & his fries he was stuffed. I ordered the Octoberfest sandwich which is what he was going to get but chickened out because he couldn't remember if he liked sauerkraut. Lol so I gave it a try myself. We both loved it! It was shredded pork loin & bacon on a pretzel bun with Swiss cheese & sauerkraut. It was very big & filling. So much that the fillings were falling off the sandwich. I got it with fries but most sandwiches here come with chips & pickle. There were a lot of interesting choices on the menu and I'm sure we'll be back soon to give those a try since our first encounter was great! read more

No false pretenses here. Good breakfast, friendly service and just what you would want in a quality diner. Very good omelet, goetta, coffee, and real red potatoes for home fries. Nicely done. Definitely will be back. read more

My Husband and I ate there today, and I will say we feel this place has lost quality in the service and food. His hamburger was served on a soggy greasy bun, my sausage texture was like rubber, hashbrowns were burnt and could taste the burn taste in them. Service was poor, they never stopped to ask how everything was or give husband drink refills, we had to flag Server down to ask for a refill and tell them about the food. Bottom line, we will not be going back. We had been going there off and on for the last 7 years and always seemed to be very nice and good service and food. So something must have changed. read more

If you need a little breakfast, you can't go wrong here! The hubby and I decided to stop here on our way to do some nearby grocery shopping. I'm so glad we did. I was torn between the corn beef hash and the one below it (country breakfast?). I went with the later since I was more in the mood for a little biscuit and gravy. It came with hash browns, sausage gravy (very good sausage gray I might aedd), two perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs on top (you can get your egg anyway you want), and a biscuit. The portion size was more than adequate. The coffee was good, the service prompt and friendly. I could see us making this a morning stop if we need to fill the belly. read more

Awesome service greeted when you walk in .. sit anywhere and great service. Breakfast was really good

Simple food done well. Every trip to Cincy includes a visit to Lisa's Kitchen. The Monster breakfast. And I ate the whole thing. Bacon, sausage, two eggs, homefries and toast. Incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly. I so enjoy this spot. Even though I can't seem to order anything but breakfast, for a small diner they have a very diverse menu with so many options. If you're a local or traveling, you can't miss with this one. Simply delicious. read more

Lisa's Kitchen - The Monster Breakfast. Oh my... - Diners Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

Lisa's is back open on the weekends! Great food and service. Best BLT and fries ever.

I have visited here twice, both times for breakfast. The first time, I had an egg, over medium, a fruit cup, and grits. Everything was delicious. I was particularly impressed with the grits. They were so good I actually ate them by themselves, for the first time in my life. Usually grits taste yukky by themselves, but these grits tasted wonderful. For the second breakfast, I noticed as I entered the restaurant that there were two soups listed on the chalkboard that day. Both are among my favorites: split pea and ham and beans. Remembering the wonderful grits, I decided to have soup for breakfast. The split pea was ready, so I ordered that. It was delicious. On the way out, I ordered the ham and beans for takeout, for lunch. That soup was yummy too. The restaurant's decor and atmosphere are pleasant and the wait staff are attentive and nice. Go! read more

Awesome staff and good food. Some of the best grits I've ever had. I've been going there for years and have enjoyed everything I've ever had. read more

I came by for breakfast and was extremely surprised and pleased with my meal and service. I ordered the 3 egg omelette with home fries and it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My server Dawn was very nice and my food arrived in a timely manner. Just wanted to say I will definitely be back ! Prices were very reasonable and you get a decent amount of food for your money. Make sure to give it a try read more
