    This place was slammed & the service never missed a step. An extremely efficient crew. Every table had guests, & I never once waited on a refill on my coffee. Watched the bus boy step in when needed & had tables cleaned within seconds of the client leaving. Observed the Manger assessing, & performing his leadership role. My biscuits & gravy were just okay but, I could easily tell that biscuits & gravy isn't what they're known for. The wife's BLT looked & tasted amazing. Extremely fresh condiments & the hashbrown was perfect.

    Host-great. Bus team-great. Our particular server-seemed annoyed we were seated in her section. Smiling seemed a challenge for her-I hope she was just having a bad day and that isn’t her typical level of service. As usual the food was delicious-fries crispy and everything was fresh. The restaurant was clean and food prepared in an appropriate amount of time.

    My cousin and I came here for breakfast today. As I live in the area, I am actually surprised I had not been here before now...but hey, better late than never. I got there first and got our table situated, and when my cousin came it was time for us to eat! I ordered the Aloha omelette with pancakes and a side of bacon, and my cousin had a Belgian waffle and some bacon. Let me say, at first glance, the place looks slightly dated but don't let that fool you...the food and service here is pretty damn good! Tiffany was our server, and she got us started with juice and coffee. She had such a pleasant demeanor and was pretty attentive the entire time, and didn't even mind when my cousin ordered food to go. I will say we were there about 10:30 in the morning and the place was hoppin'! But, you seem to get a table relatively quickly. Anyhow, the omelette was great! Pineapple, jack cheese, potatoes, and ham. the hash browns were pretty crispy, and the pancakes were nice & soft just like I like them. Not to mention, my coffee was awesome!! My cousin said her food was good also! Overall, I would definitely come back. Outside of the place being slightly dated as I mentioned before, this was a nice place for food, coffee, and conversation with my cousin. Also, the food is fairly priced. Give 'em a try...you'll be back! Food..................................A Price..................................B+ Ambiance.........................B+ Customer Service............A

    Food is OK but prices online are grossly inaccurate. Attached photos of online prices they just refused to honor and say aren't what's online. Our breakfast for two people was $45 with the steak and the potato Benedict

    They have many choices! The soups are flavourful! I can't say enough good things. The bartender was amazing, great job Angie. I'll keep coming back for sure!

    Lumes never fails to deliver amazing breakfast or brunch every time our family goes there! Fantastic service and food. Definitely a go-to for us.

  • 5/5 Sharon J. 1 year ago on Google
    Tiffany is a Gem! Service was EGG-CEPTIONAL! I'd kiss the cook, but the Hubby's a bit reserved! Price, well worth it, and when I say PANCAKES! I MEAN DELICIOUS! WOWSERS! Thank YOU LUMES FAMILY!

    We were in the area and stopped for a quick bite. Your greeter at the door w.a big smile...bus guy busy at work and aiming to please...the waitress Johnny On The Spot and VERY NICE...the place decorated nicely and I noticed ( SUPER CLEAN), best of all the food was great!! I peeked when I was leaving they have a GREAT team back there that probably deserves raises because I watched what they were serving. I'm an excellent cook so it's hard to please me. I was impressed 👌

    I had the peach harvest crepes for breakfast today. The crepes were filled with not only peaches but a lighter consistency crème cheese. The crepes were just slightly sweet, enough to give them good flavor but not too much where it is just cloyingly overwhelmingly sweet. It was very good where no additional butter or syrup was needed. Our server was very friendly, our food came out quickly and our coffee cups were kept full! This establishment met all of my expectations for me to give them a return visit.

    Absolutely will return!!! Food was incredible, staff is top notch. The restaurant was packed but they were accommodating & made sure we had a great service. Thank you!

    I thought it could have been better. ordered the steak skillet and it was very bland. on the upside, service was great and attentive.

  • 5/5 Dominique H. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was pretty amazing. Those pancakes were the bomb. Our server was great he was really hustling. The dining experience was nice, the restaurant was nice and clean.

  • 2/5 Tony N. 10 months ago on Google
    It was not a great experience. Messed up our food and got an attitude when we questioned it. The server said "well that's the way they do it in the kitchen," even though the menu listed a different description. Server never offered to fix it, but I was later told she was supposed to have. Both me and the wife barely made home before an emergency bathroom trip. Won't be back.

    Soup was a 9.9 out of 10 but the food was terrible. The Mayan skillet had no flavor a rarely any chorizo. The pancakes were dry and sadly my 2nd refill was up and waiter never seem to return to give me a refill so I almost choke on the sand pancakes..

    Have ordered from them multiple times. We get omlettes with a few ingredients, but specifically no onions. A few times we've found them in my mom's omlette, and it ruined her meal because she despises the taste. Kind of ruined her meal. Other than that, amazing service and the rest of the food was great. They just need to he a little more careful with extra ingredients falling into dishes they shouldn't be in.

    It was Cozy and clean.. The waitress was friendly and gave great service.. Food came very fast and was delicious... I highly recommend this restaurant..

    Service and speed was great BUT the food was so bland and unseasoned it was hard to wrap our heads around how little flavor anything had (no salt, and the veggies too were just tasteless)I wouldn’t expect major flavor bombs but at least salt and pepper. The hash brown potatoes were raw and crunchy and the cheese was just tossed ontop of the scrambled eggs which just seemed a little careless (i would expect it to be scrambled in). Anyway just disappointing and underwhelming since breakfast can be so simple and delicious

    I went to this location after my post op appointment. The food was delicious and the service was great. The chicken noodle soup that came with our order was so good that my daughter bought some to take home.

  • 4/5 William J D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went at a very busy time Sunday morning. Waited quite a while to be seated but finally were seated with plenty of room and baby chairs (2). Definitely a great place for family.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 2 years ago on Google
    breakfast was fine, pretty standard but reasonably priced. 5* for a wonderful waitress, Maya, who not only was extremely pleasant but went out of her way to show kindness to someone who needed it. Thank you.

    The food comes out remarkably fast and is always delicious. Great staff. Definitely a fav for breakfast.

  • 5/5 George H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a good meal here! Everything on the menu is delicious. Even when the place is packed, you get great service.

  • 5/5 Jenny O. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't know what magic they put I the food but you're missing out if you ha ent gone. It's been a staple of my childhood and now my adult life. Cute diner experience. Easy take out. If I had to say something negative, I would not recommend is the biscuits and gravy. That you can skip.

  • 1/5 Melissa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered Denver Omelet, no cheese inside nor was I given the option to have cheese in my Omelet by the server. Hashbrowns were again inedible due to a awful chemical taste they have. Will not order them again as this has been a repeating happening at all Lumes restaurants in the area. Higher prices now.....should at least be able to eat the food you order.

  • 5/5 Marianne P. 2 years ago on Google
    I try to go every year on my birthday. This year I had strawberry Belgian waffles with whipped cream, my usual. Fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Excellent. The wait staff even sang Happy Birthday to me!

  • 5/5 Mike M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very fluffy omelet and hash Browns are cooked perfect and not greasy. You would think I placed my order on the phone because the food came almost as fast as I ordered it. Very nice dining room and stuff

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great and the service was even better. Israel was my server and he did an amazing job. I’ll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Ann C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend this place! Staff very accommodating and friendly. I plan on taking out-of-towners there!!

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 2 years ago on Google
    Maia (I think I spelled it correctly) I'd such a sweetheart!! She was quick, always around to check on us, and definitely had a bright attitude. Definitely will be back for more here!!

  • 5/5 brian p. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food! Huge portions! Friendly staff! Highly recommended!

  • 2/5 Janice R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed. The hash browns were burnt,the sausage was hard and burnt on one side,almost like a piece of rubber. The only good things was the toast and coffee.The eggs were ok.

  • 5/5 Maureen J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 DePositive O. 3 years ago on Google
    There are restaurants that serve breakfast and lunch exceptionally well, and there is Lumes. With so many years in operation, Lumes offers the best in breakfast and lunch. In an intimate atmosphere, Lumes gives customers a welcoming setting. The items are proportionately plentiful, from pancakes and waffles, to soups and sandwiches that are appetizing. Lumes offers something for everyone and its staff has customers coming back for the best in food. Highly Recommend.
