They have a pretty large selection of breakfast & lunch items @ a reasonable price. I usually end up w/their skirt steak, hash browns, eggs & pancake which is outstanding.

Well, today, October 26th, I went in as usual at 7:20 a.m., but the waitress who greeted me seemed angry and stern--to be honest, it even made me feel intimidated about placing an order. I can't say for sure what was going on--maybe she's having personal problems, maybe she just doesn't like me, or perhaps she simply got up on the wrong side of the bed--but I'm mentioning this because having a bad attitude when serving customers isn't good for business. Thank you.

The service is always great, and there are so many good options to choose from. My usual order is the chilaquiles with cecina-so delicious!

And if you're craving something sweet, the pancakes with lechera are definitely worth trying.

It's an older but clean building, if a bit small. Prices are average, and they have a decent menu selection. Service was SLOW. It took a full hour for our food to arrive. I ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs, and I had to wait another five minutes for my eggs to arrive. The food was mediocre. Someone else at the table ordered crepes with whipped cream and had to wait for the whipped cream. Someone else's toast arrived 5 minutes after the rest of the food. The staff wasn't friendly at all. It was if they were bitter at us for being there. There were no apologies for the late food, either. The entire experience was disappointing.

Beautifully decorated and if you are there in good patio weather - what a view over Lake Opeka. I grew up in this area and attend a wedding at the church and used to rent paddle boats as a teenager here. Brought back some cool old memories. This trip we had family we picked up from the airport... was a such a nice day for the patio in early October. Our server Alex G, was friendly and attentive. We so enjoyed her personality and sense of humor! The menu has so many options and we feasted on several appetizers (Pork Belly Bruschetta, Roasted Cauliflower and Chicken Shwarma Rolls). Lunch was a mix of salads, poke bowls and it was all just so good. In our conversations Alex heard that one of our guests birthday was in a few days.... She made sure to surprise her with a great desert for us all to share. Nice attention to detail! Definitely a unique and beautiful place with a great menu. Can't wait to go back.

My first breakfast was ham and eggs with hash browns and whole wheat toast. My second meal was supper. I had a cheeseburger, fries, and their to-die-for chicken noodle soup. (While steak remains strong as my last meal on earth, soup is making a strong argument.) My last meal was breakfast again; this time I had their pork loin, eggs, whole wheat toast, and hash browns. In two of the three visits, I had the same server. She never let my coffee go empty and really paid attention to me. My server for supper was err an issue. In the end, I got my food late.

My husband and I came here for the first time recently because we needed to fill some time before a…read moredoctor's appointment, and overall, we were content with the experience. The diner has a classic, retro feel with a checkerboard aesthetic that gives it a traditional diner vibe. It is not very modern or trendy, but it is clean and well-kept, which is really what matters. The space feels simple and comfortable, making it a place someone can visit regularly for a quick, reliable meal. The menu is very straightforward and features typical diner staples. The food was pretty good, but the dishes were very basic with nothing particularly unique about them. It felt like the kind of food you might make at home, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn't especially memorable either. I ordered an egg sandwich with cheese and sausage ($9.95). I also ordered bacon on the side (3 for $4.25). The egg sandwich was okay, but the bagel tasted like those cheap bagels you would get at a hotel during their complimentary breakfast that come from a bag. The sandwich didn't have anything on it other than exactly what they called it on the menu: a bagel, sausage links cut in half, an egg, and cheese. Nothing on the sandwich was seasoned or flavorful. My husband enjoyed his food much more than I did, and he ordered the Big Texas Breakfast ($12.95). This came with country-fried steak with sausage gravy on top, 2 eggs your way, and hash brown potatoes. He also ordered sausage links on the side (3 for $4.25). The service was friendly, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time, which worked well for us since we were on a bit of a tight schedule. Overall, Lola's Diner delivered a simple diner experience with homemade-style food. I would come here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast.
