Restaurants in Lemon Grove

“What can't we say about dining at the Lemon Grove Bistro? Fine dining simply isn't enough to sum up our experience at the Lemon Grove Bistro. For our 2025 Employee Appreciation Luncheon, this Lemon Grove gem was our host of choice. From a five-star meal to a savory presidential dessert, the Lemon Grove Bistro does not disappoint. We can't thank you enough.”

“What a refreshing experience. Karla was amazing and very patient with me as I asked questions about the menu. The food was so authentic and I even got to watch it be prepared! What a cool spot 👍🏾 10/10 experience!”

“The food is so good! 100% recommend the vodka sauce! Stuffed mushrooms are fantastic. Ambiance is fabulous and service is so good. Alex was our server, he’s a keeper. This is our new go to Italian restaurant.”

“The workers are always so kind and ready to greet you with a smile. The restaurant is always clean and has a welcoming feeling as soon as u enter. The dishes are always clean in the mornings, not like other restaurants where you see dirty spots on the cups. It's just amazing service especially on Sundays the busy days. Props to everyone working there. The owner really knows how to manage a restaurant. I will recommend many friends and family to eat here knowing they'll leave satisfied. The young looking guy that's always wearing an apron on Sundays and sweeping, working nonstop is always saying hi to everyone and very kind. He looks like a hardworker.

Vegetarian options: They have plenty of yummy vegetarian options. Just let them know what your craving and they will accommodate.

Parking: They have plenty of parking. And extra parking.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are always very sweet and patient with the kids. My daughter loves going to give them hugs.”

“Pleasantly surprised by this place. First time trying it as I’m looking to make 2023 a year I explore new food places. This was my first new place of the year and I’m glad I found them! Friendly people and don’t be fooled by the small frontage. Hole in the wall places are the best. I also liked their happy hour menu….I was there for lunch but will be going back for happy hours and dinners😃”

“Best subs we ever had! Highly recommend the smoked rib eye steak. And where did they get all of those chips and drinks? Even the chocolate chip cookies were the best we ever had.”

“I love the burgers and the 2 bacon all beef hotdogs for 5 bucks is like my favorite all time hotdog ever . I literally crave it ??? and get a burger and the 2 hotdogs once a week on my day off . The way there burn them dogs is perfect so simple but yet so delicious ???”

“I’ve been to this sushi spot several times and always appreciated their variety and freshness. However, during my most recent visit, the rice was noticeably stiff and tasted as if it might have been old. Hoping this was just an off day, as I’ve usually enjoyed their food!”

“Lemon city Taphouse! If you haven’t been to this bar you’re missing out. Good selection of beers and plenty of events for different crowds. Hidden gem for sure!”

“All the food here is so good! Ive tried the pizza, gyros, wings, mozzarella, hamburgers, and I have not been disappointed ONCE. They have so much to pick from, they even have FISH n Chips and fish sticks now. The barbecue wings are so good, they are my favorite wing flavor. I recommend this place!!”

“Service was great! There is a newer bartender in there who is not so friendly! Younger chick! But the other ones that have been there a while are excellent! Tacos and burritos were served in the back YUMMY! No pics to show but the new Dirks is nice and chill atmosphere.”

“The burritos were delicious! It's definitely worth the price. They had avocado slices, but it would be even better with some guacamole instead. I would return to have lunch here again.”

“Went in for Taco Tuesday and was greeted by who I’m assuming is the owner—super courteous and polite. The tacos were delicious! They come with all the essentials, and the meat was high quality. The sauces were flavorful and actually had some real heat, which I appreciated. Cheap and bomb. Definitely coming back to this family-owned spot. Loved the whole experience”

“I love coming to Grover's Tavern to grab an Ice cold $10 mini pitcher of space dust or modelo, when the beautiful bartender Ruby is working.On Friday Night's & Sunday afternoon's She is a whole vibe. Her happy, positive energy is contagious & unforgettable. What a wonderful time it is when Ruby is serving her specialty drinks while providing amazing spectacular hospitality. She is pure Gold. Ruby Keep shining bright like a diamond ?”

“Great take out. Good pizza deals. I liked the Buffalo wings and the Greek salad was excellent. I read a great book while waiting there. The Mountain Pass by Tamara Anne found it at Amazon. Didn't have long to wait for my food.”

“This was the first time I tried Jersey Mike's tuna, and it was very good. Maybe a little heavier on the mayo than I would like, but still quite tasty. It's good to know that they make fresh batches every day as needed, and what is left over at the end of the day is thrown out.I had the mini, Mike's way on wheat with extra pickles with Sun Chips and an unsweetened iced tea. The wheat bread was good, and so was everything inside the sandwich. With exception to the tuna, they do pile on the rest of the ingredients nicely. The ice tea was good as well.Service was upbeat and friendly, as per usual for most Jersey Mike's around town. The facilities were clean.”

“It's a nice cozy atmosphere and people are respectful with each other. The service is great and relaxing and the employees are very considerate.”

“Great corner street fast Mexican food. I ordered two burritos (machaca and fish) and they were larger than I expected. Fantastic taste and flavor. I've been going here for years for that quick great Mexican food.”
