The Lazy Bear Restaurant — Restaurant in New Castle

During my getaway trip to Newcastle, I had the pleasure of dining here, and it was a fantastic experience! I tried the veggie skillet and the green chili steak skillet, while my boyfriend had the steak and eggs breakfast. For dessert, I indulged in both pancakes and their blintzes.

The skillets were the highlight for me—the green chili added a bold and flavorful taste. It wasn’t hot at all so mild chili enjoyers would be safe, especially to the otherwise slightly bland steak. My boyfriend felt the same about his steak and eggs, but overall, we both enjoyed our meals. I also preferred the blintzes over the pancakes, which were good but didn’t stand out as much.

The pricing was reasonable at about $20 per person, including a drink and a full meal. The portions were generous and kept us satisfied for the entire day!

One thing to note is that this place gets extremely busy on weekends, especially as the morning goes on. Despite the crowd, the staff worked tirelessly and made sure everything ran smoothly. I was impressed by their dedication!

I would have liked to know I had a choice of sizes. Also there seemed to be some question about the price if I had paid with card instead of cash, however, I can chalk that up to the confusion with the lack of electricity. I would...

I ordered a Chile Relleno breakfast dish. I picked it because it was a meatless item, so I thought. But it had shredded meat on top. Although it was tasty, I would've preferred if I knew in advance that meat was on it. I didn't see it in the menu description. I follow a mostly vegetarian (meatless) diet. So I wanted to put that word out for others to be aware and ask the right questions.

Also, it was a little hard to get the waitress' attention when we were ready to order. My friend was feeling a little rushed because of her work schedule. We tried to be heard but felt ignored.

Otherwise, everyone seemed happy with their meal, for the most part. I am disappointed that mine came with meat when I tried...
