Hear from our valued guests
The experience of a home cooked breakfast topped with comforting hospitality. I had the regular eggs benny and my husband had the cheesecake pancakes with a side of biscuits and gravy and each dish was every bit as good as what I remember a good diner to be growing up. Lil Moon holds originality in flavor, second to none in hospitality, and a reasonably priced menu. I'm bringing my parents here next time they come to visit me. Very yummy dishes and kind staff!
For are First time it was great the food was delicious. Can't wait for December 13 to see the new remodel the waitress was very friendly.
The Lil Moon Diner is a local Gem, and it never fails when it comes to the food and service. Everything cooked perfectly, large portions (even on the Senior menu), great prices and they keep the coffee flowing. The vibe always feels like your amongst neighbors, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Always a good way to start your day! Kay Miracle
I highly recommend!! Wow, I'm having Eggs Benedict to die for at such a reasonable price point I'm astonished. This is one of the last restaurants left that make you feel at home. A simple comfortable place. You'll know you're welcome and leave with a belly full of quality food made with love. This is my new favorite place.
4.5/5 Western scramble was solid, biscuit and gravy side surprisingly yummy. Pancakes light brown and soft however slightly denser and more chewy than I like. Hash browns were not a highlight but good. Coffee was great. Temperature of a few items were not piping hot but acceptable overall. I will be back.
This is such a quaint little dinner that is deceptively larger that it appears. The service was friendly and fast and the chicken fried steak is second to none in my opinion! I'm so glad me and my daughter stopped in.
This is your standard local diner with fast service and huge portions. The coffee is strong and the service is prompt. Came here on a weekend for brunch while visiting family in the area. It was packed but we got a seat within 10 minutes. Chicken fried steak was seasoned well, potatoes were crispy, and eggs were cooked perfectly. You can easily share a meal with someone and still walk away full. It’s a little dated but it adds character to the spot. Very kid friendly. Skip the chain restaurant and support this local gem.
I visited this past weekend and I can confidently say that this was some of the best breakfast I've had in a long time! The prices are very reasonable and the service is very pleasant. I can't wait to come back!
Holy moly this is some of the best diner breakfast I've ever experienced. If you've not been here, please give them a try. It looks as good as it tastes, the staff is SO friendly no matter how busy it is, the service is insanely fast and the prices are beyond fair for the quality and quantity. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I even bought a shirt (which they donate a large percentage to Make A Wish!)
We went out for breakfast to celebrate a birthday. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was calm and friendly. Our daughter dropped juice on the floor and we felt awful. They understood and were kind about the situation- grateful for that experience. I loved my omelette “everything but the kitchen sink”. My daughter’s pancakes were delicious also- she eventually requested extra sausage. My husband ordered the egg Benedict and it’s by far the best we’ve had. Highly recommend! Portions are huge so make sure you’re hungry.
