  • 5/5 MRBARBQ 1. 8 months ago on Google • 265 reviews
    Decided to go off the beaten path this morning. Went to Lois Mann's on High Street. They have been at this location for 11 years and 40+ years at their previous location. My waitress was Julie, very good waitress that checked on me numerous times. Ordered a #5- 2 Eggs, hash browns and biscuit and gravy. The eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, the hash browns were made with skin on potatoes that had a phenomenal deep potato flavor. Could have just ordered a plate of them. On to the star of the show, you get this huge biscuit, perfect texture, split it open and pour a huge bowl of gravy on it. Gravy was made with a nice sausage. Yummmy!!! All this for $6.95. Cheap and delicious food is a major plus. On to what everyone talks about, the decor. Place is one big Christmas Decoration. And quite the collection of guitars all over the place. I will definitely have to come back for the lunch menu sometime. Everyone needs to check this place out, especially if you have kids.

    Come here! We passed by this place many times over the years and never stopped. I'm glad we finally did. The service was great, the food was good, and the ambiance was amazing. The restaurant is decorated in a Christmas theme year round. We'll definitely be back.

    I love this place. I was joining a group of church members for men prayer breakfast and was so glad I joined them. The phrase "Hole in the wall" is right. The place is so unigueasnd pleasant at the same time. Christmas decorations are everywhere. They say during Christmas there are about 34 plus trees decorated. The food is exceptional American breakfast fare and so affordable. I will be back.

    Truly a hidden gem of American Diners. I've been curious about this place since I drive past it all the time. The outside is unassuming but inside is one of the quirkiest restaurants I've been to. It's decorated in Christmas decorations year round. It's festive and adorable. The staff are amazing and so friendly. The food is fabulous, well priced for budget dinners and you get a lot of food for your money. Definitely check it out, recommend to anyone looking to a 50s nostalgia dining experience with great food.

    The service is warm and attentive. My mother really enjoyed the bologna sandwich. The dining is homey, (literal, as in I can make this at home) from the flatware to the food. In sum, cute place,nice people but the food is just ok.

    This place was quite unique. Very pleasantly surprised when we walked inside. We were greeted with a fully decorated room of Christmas lights, trees and decorations. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food prepared quickly and as ordered. The food was great, portions were filling and price was extremely reasonable. The staff treated us like friends and made us feel welcome. Plenty of free parking. Casual dress. We will definitely return.

    I don't know where the great reviews are coming from. Food disgusting. Tried to order fries with sandwich but was told 20 minutes wait because bake them. Grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Omg. Gross. Instead of fries ordered chips. Stale lays potato chips. 1.25 for them.

    This place is a hidden gem. Classic dinner fair is great for breakfast lunch but the attraction is the atmosphere. The place pulls out all the stops to celebrate Christmas year round: lights everywhere, dozens of Christmas trees and small animatronics create a whole vibe won't find elsewhere. Cash Only fyi!

    We're so glad we tried this place! We've been back several times and just love it! The prices are great and you get good home cooked food. We've only had breakfast there, which is served all day. The atmosphere is astounding! Christmas all year! Service is top notch!

    This restaurant is so special. It’s Christmas everyday, which guarantees a smile. The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. Definitely a place to check out!!

  • 5/5 PROUD D. 1 year ago on Google
    Be advised. This is a CASH ONLY restaurant, but there's an ATM inside. The staff is extremely friendly, the Christmas theme of the place is really cool. The food was delicious and served hot and fast. This is a hidden gem, the kind you would see on Food Network. Would have given 10 stars if I could. We're definitely going back.

  • 5/5 Brittney C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very wonderful people!!! l, the owner visits each table every visit. Lois mann personally checks on each guest no matter no how many guest thier will be that evening.., but that's nothing. It's a very cool little shop. It's also a cute little gift shop. And i believe that everyone of her guest are so excited to come dance to blue grass bands 💃🏾🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏼💃🏿🕺🏽💃🏼🕺🏿""""NOT ONLY THAT, she takes the opportunity to get to know her guest asking if all that they ate was Good.... (she's local) & very thing is so classy she's a wonderful lady!! " EVERYTHING IS SO WONDERFUL!" not only that BUTTTT......... IT'S CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR AROUND!!!!!

  • 4/5 William R. 1 year ago on Google
    I was disappointed in the Club Sandwich I ordered. Not much meat ( ham only) or bacon on it. I wouldn't order it again. Daughter loved the Cabbage Roll meal. Waitress was friendly. We'll return and try another menu items.

  • 5/5 Mary B. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a very enjoyable lunch for me. You can tell that Lois has many stories to tell. We went to have the closed roast beef w/ mashed potatoes and gravy. It was excellent!

  • 5/5 Angie 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    My family went for the first time today. The atmosphere was amazing, so beautiful! Our waitress was so sweet and all our food was also absolutely amazing. Lois is so kind and genuine. She personally came to our table to make sure we were happy with our experience. She even gave my son a wrapped Christmas gift and a seasonal blanket. What?!🩷. I wanted to stay longer just to hang out and chat with her, but it was almost closing time. We will definitely go back. This is a hidden gem with great food and great people. Thank you so much , Lois! You are the sweetest!
