Lydia's Cafe — Restaurant in Rockford Township

While visiting relatives in Rockford, upon a recommendation from my Daughter, I stopped into Lydia's for breakfast. I chose the Rockford Omelet with Swiss Cheese, Hash Browns and a side order of Homemade Corned Beef Hash. Topped it all off with a cup of hot Green Tea. Everything was absolutely delicious and prepared perfectly. My lovely server was Melissa. She was very polite, professional and just a Sweetheart. Great music playing in the background. I will definitely dine here again, before leaving town.....

LYDIA'S on Rural St. will not see me no more. I work nights, came here for breakfast when I got off with a coworker to grab a bite because it was close and open early. Ate and then paid for meal and talked and chatted, catching up. "The manager" I guess comes over and says "we need to leave they need the table because people are waiting ". I get it we totally understand. But when we were leaving out no one was waiting and there were other tables available INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I still thought nothing of it. My friend went back in to get something "the manager" told the waitress "it was time for them to go. they been here over 3 hours." which was 100% a lie because I haven't even been off work that long. Terrible way to talk about a customer. RANT OVER. Y'all lucky y'all ain't got no corporate because I'd would be...

Went based on the review score and regretted it. Ordered blueberry pancakes and a side of corn beef hash, since that stood out in a review. The young waitress repeated the order, but later brought out a simple plain pancake after saying "I didn't hear blueberry." No apology, which is basic customer service. Since the order took so long to arrive I didn't send it back. The corn beef couldn't have been worse. Tiny strips of corn beef served tepid with minced potatoes on the same plate. Nothing binding these two ingredients together, not even salt. It was the saddest breakfast you can order and entirely overpriced. Also, wait staff, put your phones away. This is work, not high school, and the time you are on your phone texting is time the food could be getting to the table...
