I never have a bad experience at Lottie's Cafe! The staff is always so friendly and ready to help. They have some of the most amazing "daily" creations that the cooks in the back are cooking up, especially when it comes to their soups! The only downside is that the ambiance can be a little confusing. There is a small seating space, with the bar space, but then there is also a small room with gaming machines in them you get to listen to the noise from them while you're here. The people here are always super friendly and kind though! The vibe is all over the place, but the food and company are great!! read more

Total hidden gem, stopped in for lunch while in the area today. Had a really good Italian beef sandwich and roasted poblano whilte cheddar soup. Cool easygoing staff, nice setting and bar. Will definitely be back, if you are looking for a nice place to grab a solid lunch (or breakfast which is served all day) check this place out. read more

Pretty good breakfast stromboli. Was visiting friends and wanted to try this local place. I enjoyed it - I would have probably liked to add protein to it, but I didn't want to pay the upcharge. The atmosphere was a little dark (it also is a gaming cafe), but the service was good and we enjoyed our breakfast there. Would come back and try some other items on the menu! read more

Bad service, bad staff. Dont even. The staff was very disrespectful towards the end of the night. They clearly do not value service or experience of their customers. read more

Great place for breakfast. Very quiet atmosphere. Food was outstanding. Staff were friendly and attentive.

No tables were cleaned, except one but I guess it was all we needed! Reuben was made with a spicy boom-boom sauce, too much for me. They do serve with 1,000 island but not offered until after we expressed it was too much. The baked potato salad was excellent. I would return but not order the Reuben. read more

Had a great breakfast and visit with owner, Rick Frey this morning! We loved this place! It is super clean and comfortable. We even got to catch part of the Olympics this morning while we ate. Definitely planning a return visit to watch a St Louis Cardinals game and get dinner!! read more

I wish I'd taken a picture. Tuesdays are usually Taco Tuesdays with incredible pork and chorizo tacos and Baja chicken enchilada soup. But tonight is Fat Tuesday so they offered Gumbo. Wow! We've enjoyed lots of gumbo in Louisiana which couldn't compete with this. So good. And bartender sweet Colleen offers the BEST dessert martinis. Tonight was mint chocolate chip. Incredible! We look forward to evenings at Lottie's Cafe. read more

Okay, please don't let the face of this cafe turn you away. While traveling Route 66 from Chicago, we stopped overnight in East St. Louis, il. This morning we decided to find a restaurant for breakfast. Using Yelp, again, I found this cafe near the largest ketchup bottle in the world. We opened the door and found the cafe "packed." Only one table was vacant which we grabbed. A large selection of breakfast and lunch items, but wanted breakfast. Our server, Athena, recommended the "Breakfast Stromboli; see the picture. Since we wanted to share, Athena said that was the perfect breakfast. Oh my, what an unexpected breakfast !!! Plenty of food for my wife and I. Delicious favors; we added sausage, onion and green peppers for a very small charge $3.00. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture before I started eating, here's what's left. read more

Traveling Route 66 and the place we were heading was closed so I searched and found Lottie's. We met Dallas upon arrival and he got us squared away with coffees and waters. My buddy had the ultimate breakfast sandwich and I was thinking biscuits and gravy but after chatting with Dallas I went with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and a biscuit with gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly. These are nice folks working in the place. Highly recommended. read more

Looking for breakfast in the area, we discovered Lottie's on Yelp. And, boy, were the 5-star reviewers right! Our server, Dallas, was so friendly and full of good recommendations. Delicious coffee, perfect hash browns, and my omelette was insanely stuffed with FRESH veggies (including halved cherry tomatoes)! read more

Sunrise breakfast with a side of gravy- Oh, my! My husband had the ham. Turkey & pepper jack panini- clean plate club;) Very Friendly staff, clean & welcoming. Taking home their Homemade Mushroom & Brie soup because YUM. We'll b back;) read more

Fantastic food. My sister lives in Collinsville (fairly new) and didn't know this place was here. We both had the Breakfast Stromboli and it was so delicious and you could tell was made from scratch. I think they gained some new customers. read more

First timer, and now so disappointed I've been missing out on this place. In an unassuming, quiet little strip. So happy to have found this. They actually open early to get "breakfast" in but still have your mimosas and bloody Mary's. We were immediately greeted and asked for drinks. Both waitresses were teaming together to check on tables, and which I love to see. the food was all fantastic. The omelettes are huge. read more

Love this gem of a place. It used to be more of a secret but it has gained popularity. The food is always excellent and homemade. They could use a bigger space some days due to the gain in popularity. We had breakfast this time. 4 in our party and we split two omelets. They are huge portions so be ready to eat. We love their pizzas, soup, and salads as well. Recommend if you are in the area. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Did a Google search for breakfast and this came up. Drove up and I had second thoughts. The place has blacked out windows and says "gaming inside". I wasn't sure what to expect. I decided to give it a try and wasn't disappointed. I walked in to a pleasant atmosphere that was quite busy for a Tuesday morning. I was immediately greeted and waited on. I told the server how I was suspicious based on the outside looks. He said all the locals know the truth! I ordered the Breakfast Stromboli and it was really good! I wished the homemade dough had some more flavor but overall it was tasty. Nice large portion at a reasonable price. Check it out! read more

I'm from Maryland and Lottie's makes me want to move just to be near this restaurant. Dallas, our server is just a sweetheart. The breakfast food was delicious. And what a cute interior! Thanks for a great time! read more

I believe I found the place to fill a void in my life. My wife and I stumbled into Lottie's accidentally after hitting the small Walmart next door. Just trying to play a couple slots while we didn't have the kids. But when we walked inside the atmosphere was not what we expected. Walking in there were patrons sitting at dining tables with amazing looking, elaborate dishes. Not a bag of chips from a "snack bar" joint but a full blown menu with a breakfast page that's served ALL DAY!! OMG. Just past the happy folks eating their delicious food, was a full service bar with a welcoming bartender engaging us right away and telling us about the benefits of Lottie's. This place completely impressed my wife and I. The background music was loud enough to enjoy while conversations with others could still be heard. Thinking this place is too good to be true I did a final bathroom check. Clean, spacious, and real toilet paper! By the way our food was incredible. 10/10. read more

Cutest little place, and Collinsville is an adorable town. Staff was really friendly and took interest in visitors. Had the omelette- huge, 4 eggs!! All meat was pretty salty, will just have 1-2 next time! Great breakfast ! read more

I've been there twice and each time service and servers were impeccable. My grandson had a flatbread pizza and side salad and both were hearty. I had French onion soup with a salad and left part of my meal there because I was "full as a tick." Our tab was about $37 and that included one soda. Lottie's also has daily specials that are less expensive. We did not have the specials. read more

This place is very casual, kind of a hole in the wall. The service was great and the food was even better. It is homemade food. My mom and I went for lunch. They were pretty busy so we had to wait a little, but it was well worth it for fresh and delicious food. I will be going back! read more

Nice atmosphere but food and beverages are considerably overly priced. Should adjust prices to reflect experience.

I think people (including myself) can get the idea that since this place has slot machines, that its food offerings are second rate. Let me tell you that they are not! I stopped in for the first time a few days ago and got their blackened shrimp wrap which was really good along with a side salad. The Mrs. got a grilled chicken salad with apples and feta cheese. I snuck a bite, it was very good. Prices are reasonable given the times we are in. read more

Employees wear masks and tables are spaced apart. There are also some small tables out front on the sidewalk, which is where I sat. Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day, and I especially love it when it's done in a new, different way (for me, anyway). I had the Breakfast Stromboli and it was amaaaazing! The service was definitely not fast, but I wasn't in a big hurry, so it didn't bother me. The coffee was delish, and I'd love to get back here to have one (or MORE) of their cocktails. read more

Love this place. Great sandwiches. Usually get carryout. My wife loves the Sony and Char Salad.

My Stromboli was burned in several places top and bottom. Another person's sausage was partially burned. Won't go back.

Found this place based on Yelp reviews and was not disappointed! Sat next to the regulars and loved our conversation. Dallas the server was really nice. Everything they serve here is homemade. Breakfast was delicious and I truly felt like I was "home" even though it was my first visit. read more

Wow! What an amazing spot! We came for breakfast and boy were we happy. The restaurant is small and cute. Dallas greeted us immediately with a smile and a friendly welcome. He introduced us to the menu and his favorites. As we were sitting there, you could tell many of the people that came in were regulars. Dallas would communicate with them like they were family. Excellent vibe and very welcoming and loving place. Back to the food, everything came out with a beautiful presentation. The flavors were amazing. The quality of food is top notch, there were no cutting corners on the quality of meat and produce. Thank you for a great meal and excellent experience! read more

I had the pick 2 lunch special - Lottie's salad and French onion soup. Absolutely, delicious and nice size portions. The waitress, Athena, was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely make this one of my regular go-to's for lunch dates. read more

My hubby found this little cafe when he was out and about. He stopped in and had an omelet. He said it was good, so a week or so later he took me back because I love eating breakfast out. It's a small place with gambling on the side. It has slot machines, which do not interest me at all. But, if you're into that, there ya go. There was no one in eating, so we had our pick of tables. I think there are only like five plus bar seating. We sit at a table surrounded by hanging clear shower curtains due to Covid-19 obviously. The things poor business owners have had to come up with, is ridiculous. The lady who owns the place, I'm assuming Lottie, is very friendly and at our table quickly. Hubby got the chili and said it was great! I got the sunrise breakfast. It comes with two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast! It was pretty good. I like my eggs a bit fluffier and my hash browns a bit hotter, but not bad. It's nice to have a place to go where you can get breakfast anytime. I'm not sure breakfast will always be available, this might be Covid related, but I have a feeling that Lottie will be happy to make whatever you want...within reason. She seems like that kind of...sweet...can do lady! A nice little place tucked in the strip mall. Definitely check this place out. read more

Lottie's Cafe - a restaurant with a chalkboard wall - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

Nice newer cafe in Collinsville . My husband and I grabbed dinner here recently and the service was great. Quick and friendly . I had a grilled roast beef which was on point with the French onion soup (old Famous Barr recipe). I didn't love the French onion soup as much , nothing wrong with it but just wasn't my taste. My husband had a turkey bacon sandwich with a walnut strawberry salad. He really enjoyed the salad and he also liked the sandwich. Nice fresh lettuce and strawberries. They have gambling machines here in a side room and there were multiple people playing. It's separated from the restaurant though so if you are not into gambling , it's still a good place to try for a bite . read more

Nice little hidden gem in collinsville Illinois. I went and pick up breakfast and it was pretty good. The bartender working was really nice. Like how they made the place safe for social distancing and had protective covering not just the bar but at the table to keep ppl separate. Good food and good atmosphere. Definitely worth a try. I'll be going back. read more

Good place to eat anytime of day. Locally owned, owner is there frequently. Not typical bar food at all, as the name says cafe. Food is always fresh and tasty with a nice selection of menus choices. Full bar that's doesn't disappoint. This place has a variety of items breakfast, lunch or dinner, don't go there expecting hot dogs or hamburgers with fries nor a top sirloin steak & potato and you should be fine, If you want to take a break from normal food establishments it's a go to. Definitely one of my favorite stops. . read more

Excellent toasted raviolis and awesome flatbreads. We had the bbq chicken flatbread and the two toppings flatbread with seasoned beef and onion. Both very very good. Nice, pleasant service from Karen. Definitely a repeat!! Btw good Bloody Mary and didn't blink when I requested tequila vs vodka. Great local restaurant!!! read more

Great restaurant!! The daily specials are great, and they just expanded their menu and recently redid their decor. Their delux nachos and chicken quesadilla appetizers are great, the pepper jack club panini is fantastic, and my main go to items are the sunny and char salad (which is part of the specials on wednesdays) and their biscuits and gravy. I havent been here during the nights, but Ive heard great things. Its a small and quiet place, and like their new menu says, its Collinsville's Hidden Gem. read more
