Long standing diner. The food aint just THEE best food you ever had in your life but it is reasonably priced and good. Its always hot. I didnt know they had fried fish but Ive seen someone order it. The grease looks fresh, which is super important. I think Ill try that next time

These are two sausage biscuits I ordered via Doordash and this is what Lakewood diner sent! If they knew they would not serve that to you sitting in their restaurant, why would they send this for an online order! NEVER again!!!

Nice people but slow service. Food not bad

This is a small mom and pop business that has the best food and friendly employees. Took my friends there this morning and nothing short of the best service and food. If you never been you need to try it.A++++

Time and money well spent

Love this place!!!! Local neighborhood diner. The food is good and the prices are unbelievable. Staff is always friendly and attentive.Their breakfast menu is the bomb!!!

Ive visited Lakewood diner for over 20 years and I must say they are not the same and not for the better. Who is getting to be too expensive and no one is really there to attend to you while youre dining in.

I only gave 1 star because I had to in order to rate them. I ordered via Door Dash. This is a toddlers plate to say the least. I tried to support a local business, but this is my 1st and LAST time patronizing this so-called establishment

The grits are terrible!!!!! Not fully cooked. Home fries and omelet was good but missing extra ingredients THAT I PAID FOR….

Its a great restaurant have great food

Absolutely worth it for the price. Went for first time today and the line was out the door. Good greasy little place at a way better price and quality than some waffle house. Will be coming back

Another one of my favorite.I get the fried pork chops grits,scramble eggs, and toast!! So good

They really need staff help and they tell you. So if you cant be nice and wait patiently, dont come. But if you can wait, its a decent breakfast

Great Fun... Olskool Flavor!!!

Very nice staff and solution was . Still the young lady who runs the register was very polite and great service

I had a burger and it was good and juicy. And I didnt wait a long time to get my order.

This is a great little greasy spoon. Great people, inexpensive delicious food, and a super casual laid-back atmosphere. If that appeals to you, this place is perfect

Service was good. Staff was courteous. Went the day before. For a to go order. Came back today and ate inside. Ill definitely recommend it

Slow service, good food

Phillycheesesteak omelet, grits and white toast ×2 = $13 😇😇😇😇😇 and taste 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly.

Good sausage biscuit and gravy at a good price

Great customer service.Excellent food. The ladies always make you feel welcome there

The food is affordable and delicious! Quick service from friendly staff.

Customer service is definitely a little off but the food is really good.

Cozy diner, pancakes and eggs were wonderful!! Reasonable prices!!, no wait, friendly waitress and a jukebox!! I played 3 great songs,

Food was delicious and brought out on time. Prices were so fair and the people were amazing I cant wait to come back

Cheese tasted old

Great staff! Great food!

Over rated and the salmon has the texture of a pork chop. Very hard to chew salmon from there. Everything is very over rated and youll wait 1hr just for a simple breakfast

Dont judge a book by its cover the food is the best !

The wait time is horrible 25 minute wait on to go orders, the phone doesnt get answered when you call in.

My food was delicious and hot. My pancakes have crispy edges and my hash browns were cooked just right.

Hidden gem of a breakfast restaurant! Cheap prices, but good eats!!

Food is too amazing and affordable

The food is so freaking good. Especially the breakfast

The food is very good nice people that work there lets eat

Clean, plus they definitely practice social distancing. Fried Green Tomatoes crispy are bomb! But so is everything else

Always good, most times, unless they are really bizzy, very fast. And you can not beat the pruces!

Food tasted like a hospital food....slow service

Worst chicken sandwich ever. The breast is too big but not properly cooked. It was cooked like a crispy chicken breast but was soggy. The toast itself was burnt. To the point where I bit Into the sand which and the toast broke in half before I could even finish biting the sandwich. The sand which was also very dry after adding mayonnaise ranch and hot sauce. So that says a lot. The fries where old and stale they weren’t soggy they were stale just to clarify and I ordered a side of hash browns with cheese and the cheese was burnt like brown cheese burnt. This place really not worth the money or the time or the wait for the food. These stars probably came from the place being there a long time but as of June 2020 this place is disgusting. It is not worth 4 stars and most definitely not your money.

Need to have painted while Cobra was going on last year clean up some of the dirt maybe they could have kept somebody to work with them the food is very okay but they need to clean that place!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just recently visited this diner for the first time. The food and service was really good. The staff is kind and caters to your needs. I gave 4 stars because the diner is like an old country hole-in-wall. However, Im torn between the keeps of the atmosphere for the really affordable prices and swift service. Would definitely be going back again.

Food was good

Did not appear to be a very tidy place. Almost did not eat food.

The customer service is Great. Very pleasant staff from the time we entered and left. Food was great and hot. Very clean restaurant for a nice hot breakfast to start the day. Thank you for the excellent customer service.

Great staff great food

Food is good nice little dining area.

Total must go, the food is so delicious and the atmosphere is very charming old school type...down the juke box which I havent seen in years. . Beautiful Place....!!!!

I look forward to going back again. Menu is like a place in San Francisco I liked.

Breakfast was great, service a little slow, dined in. Highly recommended for breakfast.

Mon - Friday..5 stars...Sat and Sun 0 stars. You do the math.

Always on point, great food, staff, and service.

Good food good service

I love the food there and the people are always very nice

Fave place

Hidden neighborhood gem. Everything you need and nothing you dont. You wont find a better bang for your buck diner in Atlanta.

I love Lakewood Diner, the food is great and delicious. The customer service is also amazing and I always leave satisfied.

I ordered the chicken sandwhich and a salmon plate with grits . Texas toast was soggy, salmon patties, both patties were thin as hell . Grits had no flavor was the consistency of mashed potatoes. Mind you i had to add all of my own condiments just to eat it . $16.43 worth of pure disappointment.

Stopped for something to eat not knowing area. Had breakfast. Meal was fine. The people are friendly and accommodating. Not fancy, but we were treated well and not expensive. Local flavor, southern cooking.

My go to once a week for liver and onions.

Service is always excellent even when they have a full house. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back. Bring your hunger - portions are large.

Great whole in the wall. Local favorite, just like Cheers. Everyone wants to go place where everyone knows you name, well they make you feel that way by the time you leave. If you can get over the great service, the food is real. Like grandmas Saturday morning and family is coming over good.

The western omelette was good there bacon was fried perfectly

We love this place! The food is good, customer service is good, and the prices are amazing. You can feed your entire family “real” breakfast for around 20 bucks. A very family friendly establishment.

Lakewood diner puts places like Waffle House TO SHAME. I’ve been coming here on and off for seven years whenever I’m in the area. ESPECIALLY for breakfast. Staff is consistent and friendly! They started out in probably 400 sq ft of space in a not so great area and have expanded into the large business unit to their right. That says a lot about the food and quality of service to start so small and make it so big!

Some of the best French toast Ive ever had. Customer service was great. Will definitely be back! 🥞🥓

First and last time here. Ordered to go - food was not stellar by any means (Chef Salad with fried chicken). Lettuce was cut in HUGE pieces, including the rock hard stuff near the core. Onion was left in huge circles, anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 thick - better for onion rings, not salad. Chicken was sparse and overcooked - it was very dry. Now, the worst part was the service. I waited in line for 2 diners who had apparently eaten there, to check out - no problem. Problem was when another customer came in WELL after I arrived, the waitress took his order, and then had the cashier ring him (Greg she called him), up BEFORE me! Rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional. The waitress knew better. The cashier knew better. Greg knew better. But no one had the common courtesy to make sure that I, who had arrived much sooner than Greg, was checked out prior to him. You only get the chance to make a first impression once - this waitress ruined it for them.

I like Lakewood Diner because they cook with Shell eggs for those that eat eggs. They have at home cooked breakfast real food.

Food always good service too

Renee was our server. She was EXCELLENT!!! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely a hidden gem in the Atlanta area! Mostly have breakfast and meat and three options. Extensive menu available. Worth a try for sure!

Didnt like the ham and cheese omelet. The ham was burned. Not good for me.

I love the pancakes

I like this place. Fast and friendly

Great Food And Customer Service

I do not know why I’ve continued to spend my money at this establishment! Today it stops! I’ve called and been on hold for 5 minutes whileListening to the employees personal conversations, then when I’m addressedI get hung up on. Called in, to arrive & the food is not even on the grill to be cooked. Please triple and quadruple check before leaving because you will pay for items you won’t receive!

Standard fare diner spot. On Sunday morning the restaurant was full.

Lady in the front didn’t acknowledge us at all and acted as if she had attitude or was annoyed by us. The place also looks unkept and no one was wearing gloves. Disgusted.

Food is decent. Staff is mediocre. Food was fast after ordering from the counter. The staff aren’t Chick Fil A employees.

Love Karl King & Kathy Cook for doing a lot to improve the diner & better service.😁

The atmosphere is cool. But this time l ordered the chopped steak and mashed potatoes, the potatoes were ice cold and instant potatoes by the way. And they didnt put gravy on my steak. I had to ask 3 times before it was finally brought to me.

They only received a one star rating because I HAD TO.The service was slow, the food was bad the restaurant was dirty and the staff seemed like they were fresh out of rehab. There was one pleasant person working and she seemed new.will not be going back.👎👎👎

Lakewood Diner has great food that many wouldnt expect because of location. Never knock anything until you try it. The food is delicious and the staff is very pleasant to customers. They have several regulars!

I visit every time I go to see my son. Its one of my favorites. Theyve expanded as well. Good food and atmosphere

Been a great breakfast spot for years

I stop by this place to get breakfast and its always good. After coming in a few times back to back they tend to learn your name, giving you that feeling that they know you. And thats ways good. I have never had them for lunch, but it looks like it could get very busy because the people in the area know about the place.

Food cold

They have renovated

I really enjoy eating here. You het that down home feeling and the food is cooked with love.

Best breakfast in Atlanta and very affordable. Can cook anything you want any time of day. Great service

This got to be the worst place in Atlanta to eat! They have a ghetto bomb at cash register!! I love corn beef hash and when I was ordering she yells out thats dog throw up and Im like did you really just say that then the manager Kathy says thats the only way to explain it !! I wouldnt recommend this place to a dog !!!!

If you like greasy spoon restaurants this is one of the best. Dont let the appearance fool you: this place is often packed with locals and with good reason. Decent and inexpensive food, good service, and a positive attitude abound.

It’s hit or miss, food is decent, if you order online they will forget something, first it was a drink, next it was a food item. Then you drive back up there and they swear you didn’t pay for it, until you show them the receipt. I didn’t drive up here for nothing! Overall it’s ok if you want something in a pinch

Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. This place has a cool design.

Really good and really hot. Fresh to order.

It wasnt the best I had

My bacon was crispy n delicious. French toast was on point.

Great food, reasonable prices, fast and friendly service. Small dining area, but worth the wait. Love the sausage gravy biscuits.

I love the entire staff weve been eating here more than 15 yrs. The best now Im getting ready to go there now 😋😋😋 and I live in Cobb now but when its great food and service its worth the drive!!!

My server was a sweetheart! But unfortunately there was a dead fly in my food. But.... they were quick to resolve the situation for me! Definitely will be back!!!!
