Lilly’s diner — Restaurant in Catoosa

Update 9/25 I missed National Cheeseburger Day, by several days. Today will be my late celebration of the wonderful American sandwich. Lilly's never disappoints. A juicy half pound burger dressed properly with LTPO & M, NO Mayo. My wife had fries and I got the rings. This is a burger that should be on every burger hound's list. It will not disappoint. April provided first class friendly service. Thank you, and see you next year on National Cheeseburger Day. Never a bad meal at Lilly's Diner!

Date of visit 11/11/22 This is a real diner that serves a real breakfast. No avocado toast and no fake meat. Remember the “Grand Slam Breakfast” Lilly’s has a similar breakfast, the “Breakfast Sampler.” Two eggs, two strips of bacon, two sausage patties, two strips of ham, two pancakes and hash browns!! It’s enough for two people! Too Much? Then go ala cart, or pick one of their smaller combos. The “Open Face Breakfast” was just what I was wanting. A big fresh biscuit, split and topped with two sausage patties, smothered with cream gravy, two eggs your style and perfect hash browns. A breakfast bargain for $7.99. My wife went with the 2X2. Two large fluffy pancakes, a side of whipped butter, syrup, and two strips of thick crispy smoky bacon lovers’ bacon. Another bargain at $6.49. I hoped to pick the restaurants slow time and avoid the crowd. 10:00 am worked. The Lilly’s was only about 2/3s full. We grabbed a booth by the window and then watched the steady stream of customers roll in. By 10:30 the restaurant was at capacity. Folks then waiting to eat. Great prices, great portions, great variety, great service! Exceptional value for a delicious breakfast! Note: Lilly’s has held their prices low. I compared the menu pricing on the pictures. The Open Face Breakfast was $6.99 and the 2X2 was $5.99 back in September of 2018. Today, only up $1 for the Open Face and $.50 for the 2X2. Another reason this is a very popular restaurant. They are almost giving breakfast away. Veterans, Thank you for your service!

DISCLAIMER: I'm honored to be a Top 10 Reviewer for Google. I do my best to be fair and honest but realize your experience may differ from mine. So, please keep that in mind when considering this restaurant, establishment, and/or venue. REVIEW: Lilly's has been a go-to diner for my husband and me for a couple of years. The restaurant is clean and the food is good. However, they have had some turnover in wait staff in recent months and the service isn't what it used to be. The past three times we've gone we were overcharged. We kindly brought it to the attention of our servers. One of them corrected the check, slammed the ticket back down on the table, and walked away without a smile or an apology. The other one overcharged us on two separate occasions over the same item. She argued about the price until we encouraged her to look it up on the menu, which she finally did. After seeing her mistake, she finally corrected the check. But again, it didn't keep her from overcharging a second time for the same item and arguing about it again. For those reasons, I regret that I feel the need to lower the rating I'm...

We were heading out of town and found Lily's Diner on Google Maps. Stopped in and it was BUSY, which is a good sign! Immediately we were welcomed by staff letting us know where open tables were for seating. Our waitress was quick to get to us, and the food was hot and quick to come back from the kitchen....and it was honestly one of the best breakfast meals my husband and I have had. During our meal, staff checked on us several times. Even through the business of the morning, I was amazed to see the friendliness of all staff, each and every one of them were in constant motion and working hard. I even need to compliment them on cleanliness...the tables were immediately cleaned after guests would leave and the women's restroom was one of the cleanest I've seen in a long time. Bonus they have a changing table in that restroom, as a mama of littles who has had to change diapers while sitting on the floor of restaurant restrooms...thank you!!! Overall 20/10 and we will happily visit here again when in town. Keep doing what...
