Lost in Time is such a charming spot, and they really impressed me with how accommodating and…read morethoughtful the staff were. I came in looking for dairy free options and was so happy to find out they make their oatmeal with no dairy at all. I ordered it with raisins and brown sugar on the side, and it was simple, warm, and exactly what I wanted. If you do want milk, they'll bring it on the side. I also ordered the grilled peach salad, and wow. Perfectly grilled, sweet, and such a standout. The dressing seemed to contain dairy, but the team was very helpful in guiding me and making sure I had what I needed. It quickly became one of my favorite salads I've had in a long time. My husband sampled some of their pastries and said they were delicious. They also had a massive cinnamon roll on the counter, probably close to ten inches wide. I didn't get it this time, but if you're a cinnamon roll person, this is absolutely the place to indulge. They have regular sized ones too if you're not ready to commit to the giant version. The server was so kind, and I think the manager spoke with us as well. She was just as friendly. I also really liked the decor, which gave the place a comfortable, welcoming vibe. And small detail, but appreciated: they have a baby changing table in the bathroom, which I know is a lifesaver for a lot of families.

I came here for breakfast, as I heard rumors about 1 lb. cinnamon rolls. I can confirm that the…read morerumors are true, and I suspect that Lost in Time offers one of the better breakfasts around small-town Central Illinois. What you can expect: -meals served on antique china -homemade breakfasts and lunches -grab and go meals and sweets, including cinnamon rolls big and small -friendly servers My dining companion was a big fan of her omelet and home fries, especially the not-so-overwhelming portion size. I enjoyed my cinnamon roll and hash browns. My small critique is that the cinnamon rolls aren't served warm. I asked my server to heat mine up, and while she did, it really didn't impact the roll--only some frosting. If I was to return, I would order one to go and reheat it at home...and would I return? Yes, and I already know I want to try to baked oatmeal.

The shop keeper had told us to find a table but didn't let the server know. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It was served with LOTS of gravy. (See picture).

The waitress was very nice and sweet to us, joking and laughing, food came 20 min later. My wife thought her meatloaf had too much gravy which was fine, she just moved it to the side. My chopped steak with onions was quite delicious, one of the better chopped steaks I have had and had enough onions for every bite. We were surprised in the end as desert is included with each dish so we got two pieces of pie, strawberry rhubarb and peach. Over all a great visit except for the wait. 4.2 stars.

Ordered food (a single combo no modifications and a chicken sandwich combo pickles only) to eat there and it took over 15 minutes to finally get our food. The burger was good, fries were okay, soda machine was FILTHY with syrup sprayed all over. Someone came in after us for a soda and when she went to the machine, her flavor was out (and the place was empty of people). Two guys were doing the cooking and there were two women there who just disappeared. When we finally got our food, one of the guys apologized. The worst part....was the chicken was RAW in the center and we just threw it away. Unacceptable. Also, the restaurant has half drank cups on a table that the one woman came over to drink from and then refilled it, got on her cell phone, and was making comments loudly or in her headphones about someone being rude. The best thing that could happen is the health department to shit this horrible place down IMO. We really should have walked out and just went somewhere else. Hoping we don't get sick. I'm thinking the owners obviously don't care after reading all the other reviews. This place really just needs to be closed.

ok so I ordered a Polish sausage, 2-Chicago style dogs (my first time ever having Chicago style…read moredogs), and fries.

We ordered the spicy deluxe McCrispy chicken sandwiches which arrived hot. I didn't know but the sandwich consists of a whole chicken breast that's bigger than the bun! It's a well balanced sandwich and the heat is in the sauce but it's not too spicy. You can always request sauce on the side. The large facility has lots of parking, plenty of nice seating areas in the dining area and clean bathrooms are always a plus!

Two separate experiences here but beware…read more After a doctor's appointment that I had to fast for at 3pm I got profiled by a very nosy manager who needed to see my ticket for the food I paid for, then ran towards me as I tried to take my food, and said 'oh! That *is* your food!' in surprise. (I guess If you don't want to be treated like a criminal don't come in the afternoon?) And the other day, we ordered and watched as a woman almost did the splits and fell on her way to the bathroom due to the overly slick floors, got our food and found that the fries were salt less, and the sauces for our nuggets were wrong. We returned to the store, went inside and waited for anyone to acknowledge us with our receipt and wrong sauce in hand. The manager proceeded to snarkily yell at us when we tried to grab the correct sauce for ourselves despite not acknowledging our existence at all prior. She then proceeded to say 'I'll get to it' in a tone best left to the Karens of reddit. Another employee stepped in to give us our sauces. Perhaps the manager should have been more focused on helping customers get the correct sauce that they incorrectly packed instead of asking another employee to run to the gas station to get her a drink. Do not recommend to anyone. Won't be back.

First off, the wait time is absolutely reasonable now. I also want to point out the friendliness of the people that I have dealt with at the window. It has been a pleasure doing business with this crew these two trips through the drive-thru. I am glad I went back and I am glad that I can write a better review. Give this new location a try.
