Description

Lumber Yard Cafe offers hearty, generously portioned Southern fare with standout dishes like chicken fried steak and homemade sides, drawing praise for its warm, small-town atmosphere. Many diners appreciate its great value, especially at breakfast, where quality and quantity surpass typical fast-food options. However, recent visits reveal a decline in service quality—customers report rushed, inattentive waitstaff and delayed orders, sometimes accompanied by inadequate management responses. While the food remains a highlight, inconsistent service and occasional lapses in attentiveness have tempered the overall experience, suggesting the restaurant is currently facing operational challenges.

The service at this restaurant was terrible. We even told the cashier that the young woman who served us was rushing and didn’t pay attention to our needs. She didn’t bring us butter until we asked for a to-go box. Next time, we’ll be sure to avoid having her as our waitress.

My family and I used to dine at this restaurant regularly, always appreciating the food and service. However, our recent experiences have been quite disappointing. On our last visit, my wife discovered a moth in her salad, and although she alerted the owner, no action was taken until I spoke with another staff member. The owner eventually offered us a mere $2 discount. Today, we gave the restaurant another chance for breakfast, as it used to be one of our favorites. Unfortunately, my wife's omelet never arrived, and we observed another table waiting 45 minutes for their food without any updates. It appears that the kitchen's standards are deteriorating rapidly. We don't plan on returning anytime soon.

Absolutely terrible service even told the cashier at the front that the little girl that waited on us needed to slow down she was very fast at everything she did didn't even listen to us when we told her what we needed failed to bring the butter to us until we were asking for it to-go box. Will definitely not get her as a waitress next time

First time to stop here. Food and service was great. I had a light lunch, green salad with rasberry vinegarette dressing and baked potatoe soup.

My family used to dine at this restaurant regularly, but we have recently had a disappointing experience. My wife found a moth in her salad and, when we informed the owner, she did not take any immediate action until we alerted another staff member. We were only offered a $2 discount for the incident. Despite this, we decided to give the restaurant another chance for breakfast, as it was our go-to spot. Unfortunately, my wife never received her omelette and a nearby table waited 45 minutes for their food without receiving their order. It seems like the quality of the kitchen is declining rapidly. We do not plan on returning anytime soon.
