Lil' Jon Restaurant & Lounge: A Retro Diner Experience in Bellevue

It’s a great place to get a small to medium size group of friends together for lunch or dinner and conversation. My group has been 4 to 7 men at different times and they’ve easily accommodated us. The food is very good at a very reasonable price with a wide variety of choices. The service is also quite good although the waiters/waitresses seem to be a little overworked sometimes. Atmosphere is reasonably quiet, casual and friendly, with no televisions or loud music to interfere with conversation. They seem to have a small problem with their ventilation, as the front dining area often smells like smoke and burned toast. The air is better in the back dining area. Although I’ve given them four stars, not five stars, for food, service, and atmosphere, you shouldn’t expect five stars for these prices. I still highly recommend Lil John’s for a casual, friendly and inexpensive lunch or dinner.

Always a local favorite. A bit understaffed for lunch but they try their best. Food is always consistently delicious.

Food: solid and flavorful. I’m picky about omelettes and pancakes . Probably one of the better omelets I’ve had , period. Pancakes pretty solid , and uniquely large (size of dinner plate ) , thick and fluffy . Wide range of options including all day breakfast. Service : fast and friendly Atmosphere : festive and friendly with customers who look like they’re enjoying themselves and employees who look like they’re also content and get along with each other . Love the good ole days feel. Will be back again for sure ! Def check out if you love breakfast and old school friendly vibes !

Typical OG(original gangster) Diner with great food and great service at a good price. I ordered the #4 bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns with coffee. For the morning I just had this set me back on the road to success Highly recommend! Whether you just want a quick meal or you are a diner foodie, you will love Lil' Jons

This fabulous restaurant opened up in 1967! Took a friend out there to experience the great food and decor. The staff provides superb customer service. Make sure to order the delicious onion rings and be sure to get a scrumptious milkshake!

Lil’ Jon is the homey, warm and comforting blanket that is classic diner food. Staffed with salt of the earth servers, the restaurant consistently delivers when you just need a spot to eat breakfast in the afternoon or cure a hangover. (Bar in the back is first come first serve and a nice shortcut when the line is out the front door.)

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for years!! Glad I did! First off this is not owned by the rapper Lil John lol! I arrived around 1:30pm, it was not crowded, plenty of seating. There’s plenty of parking and wheelchair access. Inside the building the aesthetics is definitely old 60’s diner, I’m positive there has been no upgrades to the decor and furniture since then lol. Jacob was our host and I thought his customer service was excellent. The menu is basic but there are some low carb and breakfast options. The food was decent but the chicken fried steak was flavorless, all items came out pipping hot and fast. The beef and barley soup was sooooooo good-the meat was so tender!!! There is a separate part that is a bar with dinning tables, almost made me feel like I was entering a speakeasy lol I didn’t try the cocktails but I will next time! Prices are reasonable, overall not a bad little place to eat!!

Good Tasty Food, Huge portions Good Ambience Decent Service Went here for a brunch and it was a good experience. We tried the egg Benedict, chicken fried steak and eggs, French fries and coffee. I particularly enjoyed the hashbrown with the green tabasco sauce. The hollandaise sauce on the egg Benedict was very good. We were unable to finish out meal and took out as to go. Overall a good place for an American style breakfast. Something unique I observed here, there is plaque at the entrance listing out employees working here for over 10 years.
