★★★★☆ 4.0 Laura Dowdal · Oct 2025

The laid back small diner feel and the constant attention to service by waitress was very good loved it. I would have LOVED to have been able tp tip her more than $6 but the cost of the food for the quality was ridiculous. I paid for 3 people. 2 egg plates and a pancake plate. I eat out monthly. My first time here though. The food wasn't bad. But for that price, I could have had just as good or better if I cooled it at home. And I KNOW I could have had BETTER if I went to LOVICKS and I would have enjoyed my food MUCH MORE for the same price of my egg I could have had a Seafood & Lobster omelet at Lovicks!! THERE WERE NO PRICES ON THE MENU SO I HAD NO WARNING IF WHAT THE PRICE WAS GOING TO BE UNTIL I GOT THE BILL. IT WAS WAFFLE HOUSE QUALITY FOOD FOR HIGHER QUALITY (lovicks quality pric

Good food, great service and fast. Whenever any employee walked by they made sure to check on us and ask us if we need anything, that is great service from the restaurant as a whole rather than on one individual server. The place was well kept and clean and everyone was friendly and hospitable. Food came out quick and was delicious, my Omelette was huge! Great breakfast joint to try out.

First time visit. Staff was so friendly. Everyone that walked by asked us if we needed anything... Not just our waitress. Breakfast was very good with decent portions. Coffee was excellent!! Stop in and give these folks a try.

I'm not someone that likes giving a place 3 stars, but im just struggling with this place. I've eaten here multiple times in the past couple of years and it's OK on good days and kind of disappointing on bad days. It's 100% classic southern cooking like a mom/grandma would make, served cafeteria style. This particular matriarchal figure is the kind that's been stuck at home with little access to the outside world in the form of new culinary experiences and has the captive audience of her husband and children who have little choice but to eat whatever she's been cooking for the last 20 years. That would be fine if those staples were perfected, but I got a plate on the last visit where it didn't even appear the 2 porkchops on the plate had been cooked the same or at the same time. The frie
