We went to Lydia's for lunch today. All I can say is DONT BOTHER GOING HERE!!! I got a steak and cheese sub. The menu says steak with melted Provolone cheese. I got steak and American cheese. When I said something to the waitress she said the menu just says melted cheese. And all she can do is take half off. I ate maybe a quarter of my sandwich. I told her to take it back because I don't like it. Well she took it and ONLY took half off. I'll NEVER go back here again!!

Was very disappointed although the service was good the food was average at best had the large pizza with (4) toppings one of the toppings was mushrooms the waitress ask us if we wanted canned of fresh...Who does that... Fresh of course..?.. pizza was dry with very little sauce and the cost of the pizza $25.00 (2) beers (1) glass wine with tip came to $68 so I would rate cost at $$$. not what I would expect.

We had a calzone, calamari, and garlic balls. The server was attentive, had a great attitude, and everything came out correct. The food was cooked perfectly and very tasty. We will definitely be return customers.Parking: There was an upper and lower parking lot and a row of spaces on the street.Kid-friendliness: They offer a kids menu and the waitress was very kind to our son.

Had sandwiches for lunch. Service was good and food arrived quickly. Wife enjoyed her cheese steak. My roast beef sub was average at best. We are hoping to get back soon and try the dinner menu.

The house made chips were very good with a perfect mix of salt and pepper. Cheese steak was very good also. Husband said his roast beef & provolone sub was okay but didn't care for the roast beef in a big slab like stacked steakums. Ice tea was refreshing. Waitress was a sweet girl

Clean, outside and in. Nice bright decor, pretty original oil paintings. Lasagna meat sauce delicious, noodles were thick and rubbery. Glass of house Chianti $10. Salad was fresh with good Italian dressing.

This was my first time coming here and it was absolutely wonderful! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which came with breadsticks and a house salad. The ranch is made in house and is great! The spaghetti was a large portion and I loved the sauce. My mom ordered the grilled chicken salad which was also very large, with balsamic dressing and it was to die for! I have saved the best for last… the breadsticks! Oh my word, come just for those even if you’re not hungry!

Honestly the best servers I’ve had! Always love coming here for birthdays and date nights. Wouldn’t change a thing! Everyone had such a unique personality and made you feel truly at home. Amazing Pizza!
A group of us go to Lydia's for lunch on an irregular basis and it never fails us. Our last trip saw 9 happy people, each with something different, all loving their food. Our server was terrific! We love Lydia's - and I highly recommend their calzones!
Basically made a Google reservation for 6:45 pm today upon arrival no parking on their lot and part of the Wells Fargo parking lot was full...unfortunately I was unable to get their because I require handicap parking or something that does not require parking near Apperson Drive.
