About Lombardo's Cafe

Lombardo's Cafe is a classic 1950's bar and restaurant in Lima, Ohio, with a no-frills vibe that has remained unchanged since it opened in 1950. The staff and regulars create a lively atmosphere, although some may find it a bit dark inside, especially with 80's rock music playing on Sunday mornings. The menu is simple and straightforward, offering dishes like the BPTS (Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich) that are hot and satisfying. The cafe serves breakfast and cocktails with a friendly smile, and customers often leave full and happy. The food features deep roots and is worth trying, with standout items like the strip steak breakfast and Lombardo’s Breakfast. The chef, known for working the grill with skill, prepares meals like the strip steak breakfast with care. Service may be a little slow at times, but once attended to, the experience is enjoyable. The bartender, Austin, is known for his excellent service. Despite its small-town dive bar feel and some minor drawbacks, Lombardo's Cafe is a place worth visiting for its history, good food, and friendly people. Whether looking for a taste of nostalgia or a hearty meal, this spot may leave visitors wanting to come back for more.

Lombardo’s is a Lima Musicians Institution where many many Lima musicians have played & broke bread. I spent my 1 to 9 years living with my grandparents about 200 yards from the parking lot of the bar. I had my first head shots taken sitting at the bar having a drink and smoking a cigarette 😆 phots that were taken by The Indoorfins (another local band)
I am a creature of habit & nothing makes me happier than gathering at Lom’s the first Sunday of every month to celebrate...read full review
