“Lolly’s Hut is classic and American. Women behind the counter are great and the food is exactly what you’re looking for when you go to a diner. You can definitely feel a sense of community as a mix of regulars and tourists (like us!) are welcomed warmly.

We both had a great meal with the #3 combo (pancakes, 2 eggs, home fries, and sausage) though it took much longer than we expected.

Still it was all right because we got to sit next to a wonderful older gentleman named Mr. Petty. Had a great conversation with him and were honored to pay for his meal.

Cash only business which keeps the costs surprisingly low in this super inflated world.

Had a great time for an easy and delicious meal and will definitely stop by again next time we’re out on the island.“

“Visiting from Queens NY. Place was empty on a Saturday holiday weekend which was a good thing. Leyla served us and she is a sweetheart and very attentive.

Food was excellent only thing is it was lukewarm but that didnt really bother me too much. Father left his credit card behind and we called and they had it, drove back, we were literally five minutes away, and we got it right back.

Overall place is good to eat and food is great.“

“This place was pleasantly surprising in their food. It's not normal boring flat bowling food but rather tasty and enjoyable! The staff was great and friendly and the bowling was good. Our pins did get stuck a couple of times, and you do have to flag someone down to get help despite the screen telling you someone was on their way. Aside from that, it was a great time!“

“Great place to bowl and have a bite to eat. They have a kids special during the weekdays which helps a lot. The place is clean, the shoes are clean, and the bathrooms are always clean. They have a full bar and a kitchen. The pizza is good. Not the best but it does the job. Their wraps are really good and so are their salads. Staff is SUPER helpful and they keep on top of everything. They do have an arcade but we haven’t given that a try.“
