Wonderful experience! Turkey Rueben with Mango Coleslaw is EXCELLENT! And the carmel, pecan cookie is sooo good! Will go back again and again!

We got lunch at The Lunch Ladle today and it was delightful! I got the chopped Italian on gluten free bread and my husband got a brisket sandwich. The owners are super kind and accommodating, the lunch room is adorable with a great view, and the food was fresh and delicious. We'll definitely be back, especially since they have specials all week long!

I like this place for lunch. YAY ! -a salad bar. Since covid many restaurants have pulled the salad bar and I like to make my own. I’ll be back to try one of their sandwiches. Also, a very friendly staff. They asked if it was my first time there and also how I found out about their restaurant. I’ll be back

This was my first time visiting this establishment and unfortunately will likely be my last. We had trouble understanding the flow of the place. There was no signs posted (that we saw) explaining the cost of the buffet or what was included. Two different people had to explain what we were supposed to do if we wanted the salad bar and soup option. The staff was very friendly, but for the price we paid, the quality of the food on the salad bar was less than good. I had to show an attendant that the greens were slimy, and later when I added peas as a topping to my salad, they tasted slimy and like they were turning bad. It appeared that much of the selections were old. I did not eat most of the salad. The soup of the day was pretty good, but I did not care for the second kind that I tried. While I was in the bathroom, my partner saw an attendant drop a bread knife on the floor and then pick it up and continue using it. Overall, we didn’t feel that we got the value for the money we spent and would not recommend it.

My guy went here for me and Ordered the loaded potato soup and I can’t find a single potato in this soup ! I had to add the crackers they gave just to have something in the soup besides the thick broth

This was such a disappointment !!

Thankfully the BLT wasn’t missing its stuff

This will be the last time I order from
This joint!!

First time here and we wasn't sure what to expect. There were only a couple of people inside so the place was plenty comfortable, airy and clean. Hot bar was delicious. Nice homestyle meal. The salad bar had plenty of fresh offerings. The meal also came with soup. We tried the seafood gumbo and white chicken chili. Both were very tasty. Since there wasn't table service, we weren't sure if we should bus our own dishes. It was a little confusing. The ladies at the counter were nice. The guy that filled in briefly was not so pleasant. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and will return.

I can't believe I haven't gone here sooner. It's very clean. The food is delicious. Even though it's only open for lunch, it's well worth it. I told the man that I have never been there so he explained to me that they have different hot foods everyday! And if I didn't want the all you can eat, I could just get a little food and weigh it! Super nice people! I will definitely return!

As usual the food was excellent. The only negative was having to listen to the garbage from fox news playing on the TV the entire time. Come on, great lunch with a side of partisan politics?
