White Lion Cafe — Restaurant in Homestead

We decided to eat here for dinner. We were disappointed that they didn’t have a larger menu and they had very limited options. They do not have a children’s menu but they do offer a burger macaroni and cheese or spaghetti with chopped up tomatoes on top. The restaurant is nice being that it’s outdoors however it is not in the best area of town. That doesn’t defer me from trying something new. We like to try restaurants that are family owned or not franchises so this is why we chose this location. We ended up getting the meatloaf it came with mashed potatoes and spinach with mushrooms on top. The meatloaf was different… my husband said he liked it because it reminded him of hospital food. I didn’t like it. We thought the spinach would be cooked but it was just spinach thrown on the plate and we’re pretty sure that the mashed potatoes are instant potatoes. D music they had outdoors was OK. The DJ was interesting to say the least. He was nice though. He did try to include the crowd in the music and involve them in his show. The issue that we have is the cats. The employees were petting and handling the cats. This normally wouldn’t be an issue for us but my son does have severe cat allergies and I was a little worried about them handling food and the cats at the same time. We don’t mind the cats at all it’s just the fact that they shouldn’t be handling them while their working with food and people. We liked the customer service. the waitress was extremely nice. However we probably won’t go back again. It seems to me like a local hang out. A lot of the people were just hanging around listening to music. Wished it were better. Maybe have a bigger variety of food. Lower your prices because if I wanted a bland meatloaf for 29$ I might as well drive to Baptist hospital and buy it for 5$... do yourself a favor and drive to casita Texas for...

HEALTH WARNING!!! Extremely high priced cafeteria food at best. Except, cafeteria food is better. Went Saturday for dinner with the family. The fact that it took 1.5hrs to get seated when there were plenty of tables available still blows my mind. The starters came with cold processed jarred tomato sauce as a dipping side, this was already a bad sign. All four meals were undercooked to an unsafe temperature and served. 1. Well done burger came completely raw, chunk ground beef, send back to the grill and still came a strong medium. How hard is it to cook a Bubba burger? Yes, burgers are 100% frozen. 2. Second burger came raw, was sent back. 3. Steak literally came to the table purple, which is a sign of old steak. Wasn't looking safe to consume at any temp, including well done. 4. "Organic" "grilled" chicken, not smoked. Came to my pregnant wife pink. At this point the waitress sighted at us like it was our fault and we were giving her a hard time. What did they do to change the chicken? They threw it in the deep fryer! It was no longer the same dish. Now my wife had FRIED chicken. Thanks chef! Bill was $160! STAY AWAY!!!!!!! Whole place is sketch. Cook doesn't know what he's doing. Drinks are served outta red solo cups. Waitress didn't care to ask how anything was or apologies that all four meals had to go back. STAY AWAY FROM THE WHITE LION!!!! Place needs to close down. Stealing people's money. You try to support local and you end up with $160 in old/bad cafeteria food. Generous portions of food you don't wanna eat.

Would absolutely love the manager to call me or reach out...

I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at the White Lion Cafe and could not have been more impressed. From the moment we walked in the door, it was clear that this was a special place. Not only does it allow pets, which is always appreciated, but the ambiance was lovely. The decor was tasteful and created a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

But what really stood out to me about this cafe was the food. It was absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor and the presentation was impeccable. The food exceeded all my expectations, and the dessert was ultra delicious !!!

The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful. Lulu & Zarina went out of their way to make sure my husband, Bruno and I had a memorable experience.

Lastly, the location of this cafe is perfect. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood of Homestead, there are air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned facilities, the outdoor seating offers a beautiful view of the entire courtyard. All in all I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and memorable local experience. Overall, the White Lion Cafe is definitely a hidden gem worth visiting in...
