Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Trying Lola‘s diner for the first time! This one’s a hard one. we went to Lola’s for breakfast. I ordered the two eggs over easy with bacon, hashbrowns, and multigrain toast right off the bat, I can tell you I am not a fan of their hashbrowns. They lacked flavor and I am a hash brown connoisseur. I know a good hash browns probably one of my favorite for breakfast, and this one just didn’t cut it. They need to get some kind of hash brown seasoning, like when you go to the waffle house and they put that seasoning on the hash brown that matters. the other thing that didn’t sit well with me is when we got our check and there was extra charged for the hash browns $.95 for hash browns why? normally bacon egg hash browns all come together, not here. Now my husband had the Denver omelette and he raved about it. He said the vegetables were fresh was very good, but he was not a fan of the hash browns either. he said his side of pancakes were excellent, coffee was a great! Most of all service was great. Our server was very attentive came back with coffee. I can’t complain about that. It’s very cute in the inside. Very nostalgic looks like a 50’s diner. I have to say I thought prices were very reasonable except I didn’t still understand paying extra $.95 for hashbrowns. I’m just giving you my honest opinion. now here’s the real question would I go back? I would probably go back for lunch and try their sandwiches and soup.

Stopped by here on my way back to the city. I'm so glad I did! Awesome diner food at diner prices in a relaxed, retro setting with excellent service. My coffee never made it past half full before someone asked if I wanted more. Sausage skillet totally hit the spot.

Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Friendly staff and classic diner spot where "everyone knows your name" type of vibe. Prices can't be beat. If you order coffee, expect the continual ask on refills. Dined in and ordered take-out in the past, and this recent dine-in, I ordered their Biscuits & Homemade Sausage Gravy (pictured here) without eggs and hashbrowns - generous portion and tasty. Will be back for sure, and will also have to try their dinner menu.
