“We absolutely loved this place! Food was excellent and the service was even better! T was our waitress and she was amazing!! We've never had so much fun having lunch! There were 10 of us for lunch and T did a great job! It was like we had known her forever and she was a friend! We will definitely be back next time we're through town!!“

“Great service . Mediocre foods .“

“Best breakfast in Lafayette!

Valerie served us up an amazing first time experience at this classic diner. Sign says they use beef tallow as their cooking oil! Love this spot. I ordered the Drew Brees country fried steak meal with hash browns and biscuits. The root beer jelly was a crazy surprise. Wife had the corn beef hash and eggs breakfast. Everything was 10/10 delicious. Nice cup of joe.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and fantastic wait staff! (very attentive, but not hovering... perfect!) My Seafood Pasta was spicy & soooo good!! (I had to use a shot of lemon juice to keep my lips from burning, but I loved everything about it!! 😁😘) The strawberry margaritas were so good. I do recommend having reservations, as the whole place filled up quickly, but we got in right away! Thank you, Easter End Grill! Our low-key anniversary was great! #Shy&Jess“

“Their food is delicious and always hot when served. Their food served is very plentiful, more than enough to eat. When ready to order, they are pretty prompt.“

“OH MY GOODNESS !!
MY Young Beautiful Bride took me out for breakfast in Lafayette, Indiana.

She thought that all of the good places would be crowded because of Father's Day and wanted me to find a smaller place.

I've never eaten at Lilys Diner before but I've always wanted to find out if it was good or not.

OH MY GOODNESS!
This is one of the best places that we have found,... the atmosphere was truly amazing, the waitress was extremely upbeat and positive ❤, and the food was prepared perfectly.

Lilys Diner has instantly become one of our favorite places 😍.“

“Beautiful place with a great atmosphere! Fantastic food! Service was the best, thank you, Katie, and the manager was great to talk to!! Will return and cannot wait!“

“From the time we enter and were seated (immediately) to the end of our meal (we were a party of 5), this was a great experience. Having such a warm and welcoming environment like this so close to Purdue's campus is really great! Kenna was our server. If we could give her 10 stars we would have! She did a great job of giving us friendly and timely service and keeping our coffee cups full! She was cheerful, kind and welcoming without being intrusive.. Grateful for Kenna's great service!“

“This place is now called Andies. The place is like a fusion of Waffle house and IHOP in a old diner setting. Classic setting. Reasonably priced and appears popular with locals. A must to visit and try their pancakes and other delicacy. Nice staff.“

“We ate breakfast there yesterday. I ordered sausage and eggs, toast, and oatmeal. The wife ordered French toast. Food was great and no issues. The atmosphere is a bit dated, but the service was super friendly and welcoming. The only thing is they dont have flavored creamer for their coffee. Coffee was still really good coffee.“

“Being new to the area my wife and I still trying learn where and what to eat this was our 1st time there. Service was excellent walked in and seated from first interaction with waitress from drinks to food served less than 15 mins. Food was amazing and we will definitely be back.“

“****Edit: Somehow my "does NOT recommend" was changed to "recommends". I do NOT recommend for group gatherings.*** I made a reservation for a work party and was told they do not like to book reservations on Friday nights, especially for parties larger than 12. That was right around what I was expecting; although, I may have had a few more. I made sure to get RSVPs from folks so I could pivot to a different location and cancel, if necessary. We ended up having 11 folks total in our party, so it worked out. The Bryant sent me a text the day before the reservation to ask that we keep the reservation limited to 2 hours or less (this would have been nice to know when I had booked ~3 weeks prior). Move to the day of: I got there around 20 minutes early thinking they could seat me at the table, if it was ready, or at least seat me right at 6 pm, since that was the time the reservation was for. The hostess informed me that they would not seat me until at least half of my party was there; so, I went to the bar area and had a drink while I waited for other folks to arrive. The bar staff was friendly and prompt. I closed out my tab for the one drink and moved back to the hostess area around 5:50, when I expected other folks to start arriving. I sat on the couch, and the first few folks started trickling in. I informed them of what I was told, and we waited until there were 7 of us there before I approached and told the hostess that over half of us were present (around 5:59). There was another woman at the hostess stand, whom I'm assuming was a manger with the way she was moving about the establishmen, who asked me when I expected the rest of our party to arrive. I told her I expected everyone there within a few minutes. She informed me that they would start getting waters on the table and then they would seat us. I found this a little odd; but, it wasn't a deal breaker. We ended up being seated about 10 minutes after our reservation was scheduled for. Again, I am flexible and understand that plans might need adjustments from time to time. Maybe they hadn't put the tables together yet, for all I knew. We got seated and the waitress got our drink and appetizer orders in. The waitress did a good job taking care of the large party and did what I needed her to with the bill (splitting it into two bills). Our food was delicious and the drinks were good. She was observant and was quick to get boxes for us as meals were finished. There were a couple desserts ordered: they arrived quickly and were delicious. Plates were being cleared around 7:50. A few folks may have wanted to order another drink or two; however, the lady manager proceeded to stop at our table around 7:53 to tell us they had another reservation at 8 and we needed to leave. Had they not delayed seating us and gave us a full 2 hours, I likely would not be leaving this review. I found the management rude for the amount of money that they were making in the hour and 45 minutes that we were there (over $550 was spent). In my opinion, kicking customers out of a dining establishment is not a good way to keep business. Although the wait staff and food was overall good, I do not intend on booking another group event at The Bryant: nor can I recommend it to anyone looking to book larger group events.“

“The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! What a great vibe and place to grab food and a drink! I would recommend this to any of my friends! They have these cool little magnet thingies in the bottom of your glass that you get to keep and hang on your refrigerator to remember the good times!“

“Legacy Pub is hands down the best restaurant in lafayette. Absolutely amazing service, always hot fresh food, atmosphere is perfect, big outdoor patio, any drink under the sun plus some. If you haven't been you need to go! The owner Jeff is a stand up guy, and his staff is always on point. All the servers are amazing! If you need to break the streak of being less than satisfied with an out to eat experience, Legacy is the place for you! Doug E Fresh“

“Checked in online and chose room. Arriving at the hotel I was greeted with very friendly front desk staff and recognized as a Diamond member. Presented a warm cookie and informed two free bottles of water were in y room. Room was very clean and large with room for two chairs, a table, a long cabinet that contained the large screen TV, coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. The bathroom contained a walk in shower and was of decent size. Throughout my two night stay all the staff I contacted were friendly and ready to help. Had a sandwich each night from the lobby restaurant and they were delicious. The free coffee in the beautiful and spacious lobby was very good. The only drawback was the noise from I65 that could be heard in the evening. Recommend rooms ending in even numbers be selected as they are on the quiet side. I selected my room online not realizing the odd numbers face the freeway. I will stay here on my next visit.“

“One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! Extremely clean, spacious, safe, and has great service. The made-to-order breakfast offers a ton of great options and the entire place is gorgeous. The hosts were super helpful and attentive as well!“

“Great service and excellent food.“

“Our 1st choice for beer + pizza [despite lackluster server attitudes], but my Blue Moon has been lukewarm the last two visits. :( Asked the waiter for a cold option and was met with an annoyed “meh” response and excuse for the warm beer vs interest in a customer issue/solution seeking…so we left for our 2nd choice. Might return to the Sparrow, might not.😕“

“Very nice open air setup with friendly service. It's tucked in a place where there is no other retail around, so could be hard to find when driving. You have to find the location on maps and then drive. Not much street signage.
One of local must visit place. Went for lunch, but I believe dinner may be more lively. Have outdoor seating.“

“Delicious food, great service and a beautiful building. Highly recommend!!“

“so many smiles. and the meals are more then just a. meal, they're momories.“

“Great spot for casual lunch/dinner! Delicious and friendly!“

“food was great drinks spot on and our waitress karissa was absolutely fantastic possibly the best waitress we had to date“

“We appreciated so much the help from Elaine as she was serving our table. Thanks a lot, Elaine! We three.“

“Walt's Other Pub is fantastic. The fish and chips were excellent, with possibly the best coleslaw and tartar sauce I've ever had. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I'm not often on the south side but I'll definitely be making more trips down here!“

“Probably the best ambience at West Lafayette. The restaurant is well decorated and well organized, feels like high end. The servers are basically Purdue students and they were very professional, prompt and welcoming. Definitely some place where you should come with out of town/state date to impress them.

All their offerings are 3 course meals. A salad or soup, an entree and a dessert. I tried their salad, Atlantic cod fish with some veggies and fresh fruit as the salad. I verified from the server that they don’t use alcohol to cook. They had some interesting desserts, but did not try from concern of non-halal ingredients. Their food taste was overall good but the portions are not enough.
I was hungry even after lunch.“

“They have a good choice of two soups each day that comes with a roll. Too many American food places give you too much food for too much money. The daily special looks interesting, but I have not tried it as I am not that hungry at lunchtime.“

“Amazing food with huge portions! Ribs were so tender and juicy with amazing bark. Sandwiches are huge!“

“Incredible food and service! Get the prime rib on Fridays!“

“I freaking LOVE the Downtowner! It's my go to place for breakfast. It's this really quaint diner vibe with old Indiana license plates on the wall.

The food is always spot on, I don't think I've ever had bad food there.

The service used to be better, but my favorite server just had a baby so I don't have quite the same relationship with the new gals.

I go there at least once a month and will continue to do so. Oh! And the prices are 🤌😘.“

“Great food and great service“

“I was very disappointed when we went to Culver's a little before 9 pm, I check the website for closing time and it was 10 pm so we had time to go in for custard. we get there and they were already closed and this was a little past 9pm, that is not 10 pm, either someone doesn't know how to tell time or they don't want to work. we went to DQ they were open!“

“Endless Shrimp for the win!!“

“Very good food for the price, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and spacious. The service was also very good with our server coming by several times asking if everything was cooked right or if we needed anything. Overall a very good price on the food as well as great service and no wait to get a seat. Highly recommend to any couples looking for a date night or families as well!“
