Food and service was awesome! The atmosphere was super relaxing and comfortable!! Definitely be back!...

It used to be the Red Squirrel. Still same menu and food. Good service and good food.

Great local place! We stopped in for a quick lunch and the place was hopping. Most people were eating breakfast and the portions were huge. We opted for lunch so my husband had the Octoberfest and I had the Philly. Both were very good. Our service was fast and friendly. read more

You can't beat breakfast at Lisa's. Reminds me of diners back in the Carolinas. It's laid back, family friendly, and they keep my sweet tea full at all times. If you're looking for a more traditional diner and not a "corporate" feeling restaurant, this little gem is the place to go. I love exploring new places, but I still have to stop by at least once a month. read more

The breakfast is wonderful here. They have a pretty nice selection, even goetta!! The biscuits and gravy we're definitely worth trying. I also got the breakfast burrito. It was a little plain, but it was worth the money I paid for sure. Want to go back for the sandwiches though, they look so good! My fiance wanted to grab a customer's plate and run when we were leaving. read more

Lisa's Kitchen - Breakfast!! - Diners Near Me - Fairfield, Ohio

I went here for the first time today. I was having a new windshield put in my car a short walk away, and thought I'd try a local place instead of the McD's, Starbucks, Frisch's, and Dunkin also within walking distance. Very friendly folks, and a great breakfast- I had the basics- scrambled eggs, ham, and hash browns, all were great. I'll be back! read more

So first off I want to provide full disclosure. I quite going the over 2 years ago. Use to meet coworkers there for pre-work breakfast meeting. Every time I ordered eggs, fresh bacon toast and coffee. I order my bacon extra extra crispy. Every time I would have to send it back 3 times. And the cook would come out instead of saying sorry. He would say I put it deep fryer. Is that good enough. I said you should have done it that first. I took my wife there a couple of times. Mainly breakfast. She had an issue a couple of times on other stuff. I suggest they need to listen to what is ordered and ask for clarification if they are unsure. And deliver what was ordered. They lost me as a customer and also my wife. I provided a 2 star because they have could be better now. Historically, bad read more

Great little mom shop with very pleasant service. Lisa herself was my server and my Corned Beef Hash & Eggs was plentiful and tasty. The corned beef was lean and devoid of fat and the presentation was inviting. The cook prepares your meal right in front of you at the visible, and clean, grill if you sit at the counter. Support the local mom (Lisa, and not sure if a pop here) shops!! read more

Great diner that I have had breakfast in the past, had a chef salad today, nice portion and presentation.

First of all, the service was outstanding! The food was really good and we didn't have to wait very long to get it. I ordered the patty melt w/o grilled onions and really enjoyed it! Would recommend! read more

amazing service, the staff has a great relationship. The food was delicious. Great portions, delicious and low prices. We came for breakfast, and our server, Amanda was phenomenal. My hubby had the pancakes and I had their hash. Everything was hot, fresh, and scrumptious. read more

When we arrived at Lisa's kitchen we're pretty hungry. They lost our ticket so we sat for an hour to get our food. We were with our eight-year-old granddaughter so we didn't mind the wait but we were getting pretty hungry. I started to get kind of agitated when people who came in after us were getting their food and none of the wait staff seem to notice. There wasn't any offer for a free coffee but the waitress did offer a quick apology. I have to say the food was very, very good. I even think it was worth the wait. We had plenty to do to preoccupy us lots of good conversation on a Saturday morning. Hubby had the simple eggs toast bacon breakfast I had a breakfast burrito and granddaughter had Scrambled eggs. My husband has the sausage and gravy with biscuit. All of the food was very hot very fresh and tasted great. I would go back but probably during the week day. Someone obviously didn't show up to work that day cause they were really packed and short-staffed. read more

Used to be a Red Squirrel. I loved Red Squirrel. I LOVE LISA'S KITCHEN! It's like a new age diner. The menu selections are just right for a place nestled in Fairfield. If you're going to Jungle Jim's- stop here first. They serve Goetta!!! It's my favorite- being a Cincinnati native. Of course I did order some. The only thing I didn't like is the lack of servers but it's not worth taking a star away. read more

literally just randomly chose this place and it turned out to be a great choice. the food was good especially the biscuits and gravy and french toast. the hash browns were a little over cooked but the coffee was great. the service was good as well, she came around a couple times to check on us. the restaurant was cute and very roomy for plenty of customers. we went around 11 and it wasn't too busy read more

Wow! Some of the best corned beef hash I've had and their biscuits and gravy are solid too! Service was great and prices are super reasonable! If you're looking for a great diner experience this is the spot !!! read more

Food is good. We noticed that every time we are the the people who own it or run it like to scream at the waitresses. I find that extremely inappropriate read more

Stopped in for lunch based on the Yelp reviews and we were pleased. Great prices and grub, friendly staff and quick. Beats going to a chain restaurant! read more

Great diner for an amazing price. Would recommend! We showed up for a late breakfast. The environment is nice (cleaner than a typical "diner"). The price is great and so is the service. Fantastic for breakfast; good for most anything else! read more

My wife had come here for lunch with a friend and enjoyed it so we decided to try it for breakfast with the family. This is your typical diner place. We were there on a Tuesday morning around 9 so it was not too busy. Our waitress was attentive and we received our orders pretty quickly. We had the French toast which was nothing fancy, but had a good taste and was done well. I also had the hash with gravy and eggs on top. That was a classic diner dish and was super tasty, I could've eaten a couple servings of that. My kids had waffles which were surprisingly tasty and we more of the Belgian style (thick and dense) rather than the thinner style waffle I was expecting. Overall, a place we would return to and recommen to others. read more

Cheap prices for lots of food. Our server was super nice and friendly. Cheeseburger was good but the hot ham and cheese is delicious! Fries could have used a bit of salt. Overall a very good experience. read more

Simply put, not good. Same old frozen country fried steak from food service vendor, potatoes were pre-made and heated up (almost) on flat top. Steak was dropped in the floor causing everything else to get cold while they made another one. Inside was dirty and service not great. read more

I love Lisa's Kitchen. I've lived in Fairfield for about 5 weeks, and I've already been four times. Great food at amazing prices. I absolutely love the biscuits and gravy. Their pancakes are delicious, too! Certainly better than IHOP or other chains. We're making Lisa's Kitchen our weekly Sunday brunch spot! read more

Food was delicious and affordable. Service was fast and friendly. Inside is clean and comfortable. Higlhly recommend!

A hidden gem for a traditional diner meal. Breakfast was great! The biscuits and gravy taste like homemade, really good.

We were very pleased with our meal. The staff was very kind and told us the back story on how it was a restaurant named Red Squirrel and they closed up and Lisa was a waitress there. After trying different jobs she came back purchased the closed restaurant and opened up her own and brought back other employees. read more

A local diner that I've gone to forever I like their triple-decker sandwiches and I am satisfied every time

If you want just a good, wholesome, no frills type of place then take a seat at Lisa's Kitchen. We came here looking for something for lunch that was close to Jungle Jims. We knew it would be good when we saw how many people were there. I ordered the Goetta Ruben and Nick ordered the Gyro. Both were really great and the prices were awesome. Nick also ordered a cup of french onion soup and he really really liked it. I definitely want to come back again. Its a great lunch spot and Id love to try their breakfast! read more

I wanted to try this place out for a while now. I love the small mom-and pop shops and this one was right up mu alley. I ordered a regular burger, and wanted an egg and fried pineapple on it as well. I got exactly what I ordered. The quality was great and the price is very reasonable. i'll be visiting again for breakfast !! Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed and its normal for a mom/pop shop IMO ... (also, the bathrooms were spotless clean ...) read more

This is a good little greasy spoon near my house! My friend and I were craving some of that yummy short order food, and they did not disappoint. I got the homestyle hash, which was delicious except my eggs were too runny. My friend got their Ruben and had no complaints! Service was fast, attentive, and polite! read more

Great home made breakfast. Nothing fancy but very tasty. The biscuits were great!! They kept the coffee full. Super service even though they were very busy. Very affordable. read more

Very nice mom and pop type restaurant great breakfast and good service. Very decent prices. It gets full fast but flows very quickly. Great portion sizes. I wish I lived in Cincinnati so I can eat here regularly. read more

Cute little mom and pop type restaurant. You might not notice this driving by because it's in a strip mall off Route 4, but this is our favorite new breakfast place in Fairfield. My favorite menu item so far is the biscuits and gravy and my husband's is Goetta, but any breakfast we have had there has been awesome! Fast service and great staff. read more

Love breakfast at Lisa's. The eggs and hash and biscuits and gravy are always great. More than filling, home made home fries, homemade hash and fresh biscuits; how much better can it get. And the price never breaks the bank: $22 bucks for 2 people and that include tip. Cannot beat it anywhere!!!! read more

The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. Service was awful. Maybe because we weren't regulars. On the plus side. I'd been backed up for a few days. Within 30 mins the problem was fixed. read more

You won't be disappointed when you eat at Lisa's Kitchen. She'll be sure to add a smile and hello with your meal.

Very good diner. Pretty much all food we tried so far were great.

What a great restaurant. Dawn was our server. She was great. The taco salad was wonderful. Cookies are great and the cheese quesidilla was amazing. I highly recommending it. read more

Was in town for an event, tried this place for lunch. Food was great, prices for food were great and the service was incredible.
