Very poor service. Prepare to get dissapointed when you eat with this restaurant.We dine in with family. Every one of us placed our order, after about 20 minutes, the server came over to our table and told us that that 2 orders are not anymore available because they run out of the meat, so my 2 kids have to change their order. After about 20-25 minutes the server brought our foods, except my order. She said my order is not any more available that day. I'disappointed because she could just

I went to this restaurant before going to the outlet mall across the street and it was pretty good. Nice food, a bit greasy but not too much. Good price and good friendly service. Worked out nicely. I didn’t make room for desert but too photos anyway.

Just no, avoid. We were told many items and ingredients were out of stock. Yet people around us were being served those same items. We were told we couldn't sit outside because they were closing that section, then we watched several new customers get seated outside. Food was mediocre. Tables weren't wipes off. We felt the stress in the servers and host. To top it off we saw one waitress sneeze directly into her hand. It wasn't busy hour, it was 1pm.

I am in town for work and have been checking out places that are not chains. My coworker brought me here for lunch. The food was tasty (ordered, and pictured, is chicken Oscar). I was impressed the waitress asked if there was an allergy issue when I requested no tomato and onion on the salad.The only thing keeping it from being a five star experience is a mix-up with my coworker's soup order and a slight delay of getting our waitress's attention. She was not a bad waitress, but the entire staff (of two, it seems) would disappear into the kitchen for extended periods. It wasn't a case of being busy either, as we were the only ones in the restaurant. It wouldn't have been an issue, either, if we hadn't needed a few things from her.

We were sightseeing in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We were looking for a restaurant with kids friendly food. My daughter got the chicken fingers and I got the patty melt. Both were great. I also got a cup of chili. A bit thicker than I'm used to, but yummy as well. And very reasonably priced.

All me and my SM got was a regular coffee and a hot chocolate. That's it. The reason why I gave it an extra star is because the waitress was a sweetheart. Other than that both things tasted like it came from the Sioux. I can not recommend.

Our first-time visit to the Lighthouse Restaurant occurred on a Sunday mid-morning during off-season. Place was packed, but we caught one of the booths as it was being vacated. (Staff cleaned quickly before we were seated.) The restaurant featured well-trained servers and a broad-deep menu. Vegetarian (ova-lacto vegetarian) ordered spinach omelet with feta cheese, which came with cottage cheese as alternative to hash browns, as well as toast. Foodie ordered a single egg and alternative side of tomato slices. Food was fine. "Didn't you order just one egg?" our observant server asked as he served Foodie. "They always give me two," Foodie replied. Friendly atmosphere, as evidenced by this experience: As we were paying at the register, a party of six entered. The cashier told them, "There'll be a wait of maybe 5 minutes." Another diner, hearing that, said, "We're just leaving," providing nearly instant seating.

Quite busy for 10 o'clock on a Saturday morning but we were seated in about five minutes. I had a spinach and feta omelet that was tasty and hot albeit a little light on both spinach and feta; the hashbrowns were a good mix of tender and crispy bits (just how I like them) and the two pancakes--instead of toast--were just right. The other people with me each had a tasty bbq pork sandwich (with fries and cole slaw) that they enjoyed. The waitress brought extra napkins without even being asked since she knew the sandwiches could get messy. (A great move!) Food came out quickly, efficiently, and deliciously by our friendly server. The only criticism of the day was the lemon/chicken/rice soup that came out before the sandwiches wasn't very hot (although it did taste good!).I'm editing this today (1/8/22) because although I had a good server, the food was mixed bag: hot mozzarella sticks served with a meaty tomato sauce were a great start, but the biscuits & gravy were very disappointing. The gravy had some chunks of sausage in it, but it was tasteless and so thin, I couldn't even keep it on my fork. (The biscuits underneath this were fine, however.) Maybe the cook was having an off day?

Cold and wet outside. Perfect day for bowl of lemon chicken soup. Only one place to go, Lighthouse Restaurant. Also, got heat loaf sandwich. Wow, Perfect!
