Reviews For Lisa's Family Restaurant

First time there today, February 11th, 2025. Went with the girlfriend. It had a nice traditional diner vibe. Look forward to going again. Very fair prices. See receipt to confirm. Fair portions. Reasonable wait time and good waitress service and attention (not too much attention, not too little. The right balance). The deluxe burger was amazing. I liked it more than the wrap personally (only had a few bite of the GFs wrap). The fries were great. Not too few, not too many. Had peanut butter pie for dessert and it was phenomenal... hands down the best pie I have tasted in my life. Very rich. The typical clientele is older people, and the tables have trivia cards that are pretty fun. I'm amost 40 so i was able to get a good number of trivia answers right. But someone younger might be lost haha. Good way to kill time while you wait for food. We left satisfied and full.

Love this hidden gem. all the way around. Excellent food like your nanny cooked for you as a kid. Excellent portion sizes, a great menu with lots of choices and the best desserts hands down. Try it for yourself and enjoy.

They have the best sweet potato fries with a really nice dip to go with them. The price is right at nine dollars and I paired them with a cup of homemade baked beans for a delicious vegetarian lunch.

Very friendly staff. The Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich was soon good I think the best I've had. My husband had the schnitzel which he loved. The kids were very happy with their meal as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We went for dinner tonight and I ordered the chicken buttermilk burger and my wife had 2pc fish and chips. The service was very speedy and the food came out piping hot. The restaurant was almost full on a Tuesday might!! We had a PC of peanut butter pie to take home and it blew us away!! Sorry to be passing through. I strongly recommend it.

We were in town waiting for our vehicle to be serviced so decided to find a local restaurant to dine in at while we waited. We are thankful that we did because the service was amazing . Friendly staff , clean restaurant , very homely like and food was amazing . Hubby always gets a club house where ever we go because he Says that if you mess that up it’s probably not worth going back there . Well Lisa’s family restaurant passed that test . And they don’t need to ask if you want cheese added to the sandwich for an extra fee , it’s included on the sandwich unlike many other places we have been too. Their gravy on the side was a good generous size and was only an extra 1 I had the scallops , clams and fries . A very generous portion . We were even asked by the waitress how it was tasting . The coleslaw that comes on the side is just like grandma used to make . Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Windsor area . Shop local We will be back again in the near future , just so we could have some dessert off that menu

I always try and have lunch here at least once during a visit home and it is always a great experience. Servings are plentiful and always delicious. This time I had the clams, and for a NS girl living in AB, these were a fine welcome home. Scalloped potatoes were a special side and were so creamy and tasty. Save room for dessert....I had the gingerbread with warm lemon sauce this time, but they are all amazing

Had the most delicious haddock dinner. If you are ever in Windsor NS make sure to make a stop here. Home cooked for sure. We are from AB. Most impressed. This place is warm and cozy and very friendly. After reading reviews we had to order peanut butter pie, to go. Too full to eat now.
