What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Working through a list of all diners in LA County and next up was Lisa’s. It’s a cash only, classic little diner over in West Covina. All these Route 66 diners have such a great history to them and most have great food as well. Inside is quite small, but they have booth and counter seating available, as well as some larger tables for larger groups. They don’t have outdoor seating. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. They don’t have a lot of traditional items on their menu but still have a lot of good options. Pricing is also very fair, I find that the places that are cash only tend to be less expensive because they don’t have to deal with credit card fees. There’s also a free, large parking lot right out front so parking is really easy. As always, I started off with a cup of coffee and I was happy to see that these come in huge mugs and it is very strong. After two full cups I had a lot of energy and was ready to tackle my day. Given that they don’t have a lot of traditional items on their menu I decided to try one of their specialties, which is the Full Attack. It’s basically two biscuits with sausage and egg on top covered with gravy and honestly I thought it was really good. This is something that I never order so it was nice to try something new and I would recommend it. Overall I would recommend, especially if you are in the West Covina area."
"My son enjoyed his biscuits and gravy. The second time I visited it was with my sister, she was not impressed, especially since service was lacking. We noticed the regulars getting quick service while we had to wait and repeat our orders. It’s a classic American diner with a greasy spoon feel. Coffee wasn’t fresh both times I visited. Parking can be an issue as truckers seem to frequent this establishment."
"I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone. The food was completely terrible. They need to hire a real cook or have them take cooking classes. Ham completely over salted covered with old burnt marks because they didn’t scrape the grill, eggs still raw, biscuits super dry and hard. No flavor of the gravy smothered on the plate. Not worth the price either on top of it. No wonder why that place is never busy. I love supporting small businesses but not this one. Either invest into better service or shut it down. 🤮"
"Used to love to go to this place. If you're not a regular the service is terrible and so is the food. Who charges twelve dollars for an order of fries? Not to mention when you ask for ranch , they tell you they don't have any. Two pancakes an order of fries and a cheeseburger combo almost cost fifty bucks. They've eliminated a lot of stuff off.The menu is what we were told. Terrible service. Mediocre food. Yeah i'm over it."
"The place is really run down, 1st thing i noticed after I placed my order was the mold on the ceiling above the food window. Chipped paint and black vents. Lost my appetite. Waitress disappeared to return smelling like put a stashed a cigarette butt in her pocket. Not to mention 20$ for biscuits and gravy. Hard oass"
"Janelle is SUCH a gem. My mom and I love to come here after our workouts and Janelle always greets us with kindness and warmth. She makes the dining..."
