Delicious, down home comfort food. I was traveling with my mom and saw this place on Yelp and…read moredecided to go to brunch there after church on Sunday. We got seated right away and our server was super nice and patient with us as we maneuvered through the menu, figuring out what to order. There's too many amazing sounding items on the menu! I wanted to order one thing from each section just so I can have a little taste. I ended up ordering the chicken fried steak with a biscuit because you gotta have the biscuit! My mom ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken fried steak was enormous! I only ate a little more than a 1/4 of it and took the rest home. The gravy was really delicious. It wasn't salty and there was so much flavor. Of course I dipped my biscuit in it too. Biscuit was also humongous. I finished half of it. I didn't get to try my mom's chicken and waffles but she said she really liked it. She also didn't finish it so we took it back to the hotel. Thankfully we had a fridge and a microwave to store and heat it all up. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come back and try some other stuff. I'm sure everything else is delectable also!

Now this place is a must if you're ever in St. Joe, Mo. The service is unbelievable. Even if you…read morehave to wait for your table & you're just standing off to the side, they'll hand you a beer (or drink) of choice while you wait. The waitresses, know their jobs, they are constantly coming around and checking on their tables no matter how busy they are asking if anything is needed, if everything is ok, etc. The food is delicious to say the least. Even the BLT has more B on it than I've seen any place have in a very long time. The place itself is very clean and well maintained, especially for as busy as they stay all the time. I give kudos to Kyle, Whitney and Kyle Jr. for the jobs they do with that business! Sarah, Taylor, Liv and Cass are some of the best waitresses around.

When I complained, they said they'd give me a free one and make sure it's 4lbs and never did, I emailed at least 5 times with 1 response saying they would take care of it, then total ghosting. When I posted on Facebook, they replied they remember my complaint, and gave me a free pizza. Total lie and now it looks like they've deleted my post.

Delicious! We ordered two pizzas and a Caesar salad. The Carne pizza and the La Rughetta pizza (we…read moreadded balsamic glaze and goat cheese). Here's the run down, the crust was thin, but still had a soft chew, which was the perfect bite every time. The Carne pizza had plenty of meat with an excellent tomato sauce.This is a crowd pleasing pizza pie. I'm a sucker for prosciutto and goat cheese so when Hannah, our waitress, recommended adding the goat cheese and balsamic glaze to our pizza, I absolutely did. This was a smart move. The hubby and I opted to share the Caesar salad while we waited on the pizzas. The timing of the pizzas was perfect as we had just finished our salad. The staff was friendly and kept busy. Our drinks were refilled timely and they checked on us without being interruptive. Since yelp likes when we share tips, here's one, they have an awesome happy hour menu with great pricing. Super excited, we found our pizza spot!

I travel to St. Joseph for work at least three times a year and I come here every single time. Have…read morebeen doing it for years. After today I won't be coming back. My work colleagues and I got sat and were informed of a long wait as there was only one server - cool. No problem. It happens. We are sitting about 20 minutes when a table of 8 gets sat next to us. The cook immediately came from behind the counter to bring water for them. We were still sitting there with nothing. Our server came over - apologized and got our orders and brought out our drinks. Our salads came out and all was well. Then we waited and waited. We were informed that one of the potato pizzas we ordered couldn't be made because they were out of potatoes. No big deal. We changed the order. Then the group next us - who came in 20 minutes after us and ordered after us all got served their pizzas(including a few potato pizzas). While we waited and was not served. Finally realizing that our diverse group of 5 was being shafted for the very non-diverse group of 8 we asked for our pizzas to go and we left. So if the intention of Il Lazzarone was to make us feel sidelined and "othered" - congratulations. Job well done. Because we left there being reminded of just how how bigotry feels. The pizzas was still great in my hotel room. But you will never see a recommendation from me or dime of my money again.
