We love locally owned, hard working restaurants. We discovered Lollie's on a recommendation and now we eat here EVERY time we go to Sparta. The food is always delicious and served quickly.While it's a low-key and not fancy at all place, the staff is amazing. You can tell there's great leadership within their structure. They aren't forced to ask you if you need anything, it's clearly genuine. They ensure you have a good experience through personal interaction. Well done team, you're doing it right.

The service was great. The staff is very friendly & helpful. The food was wonderful. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. It’s a great place to eat.Kid-friendliness: They helped seat our grandson in a chair & booster seat so that he was table high and comfortable. The staff really went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable.

I only wish the stars were larger and more of them. From time you walked in the two young gentleman were outstanding. Gave plenty of time to order to asking if we needed anything. Just two guys cooking and serving. The food was excellent and rather cheap. Don't know who owns the restaurant but you have two of the best people you could have been so lucky to have these days. Looking forward to stopping and eating again.

Just had their grilled whitefish. Tasted like it was freezer burnt then microwaved. Absolutely worst whitefish I've ever tasted. I like this place but they need to straighten the fish out cuz that was atrocious

I ordered the ribeye steak. They are not flamed cooked. Must be pan fried or something. Not good. My friend had fried bluegill and loved it. I tried a piece and it was excellent. Prices were good and the rest of the food was good. Just stay away from steak. Service left a little to be desired. Asked for steak sauce and had to go find someone to get me some.

Decent priced, nice people, would be higher if more of their food was made it store.

Our first dine in since Co-vid was at Lollie's ..the waitress and waiter could not have been friendlier or more helpful.. While our meal ranked only better than average, it was generously proportioned and filling... I complimented my dinner with a cold refreshing bottle of Michelob Ultra at the unheard of price of $1... Deal Breaker!!!

Friendly. Fast service. Waitress checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. The portions are decent. The horseshoe plate is ginormous. The only issue I had is when you pay with a credit card they charge you a fee. I thought that was considered a business expense and is tax deductible.Parking: Big parking lot. With the handicap parking directly in the front. Bonus!

Ordered the Chicken Alice with a baked potato and broccoli. The broccoli was cold, the Chicken Alice was soso would of been better if they would of sauté the mushrooms and not just put them on top the chicken from the can.Baked potatoe did NOT come with sour cream had to pay for any topping but butter. It's a decent atmosphere. Reminds me if a cross between a mom pop diner and a truck stop.

This place has one of the best pattie melts I've ever had! A place with the same high levels of quality, speed, and friendly staff that you get at Lollie's is hard to find. This place never fails my expectations.Kid-friendliness: Nice family restaurant vibe.There are a couple slot machines on the one side.

I have eaten at many cafes and diners all over the U.S. over the years. Lollies is one of the best. The steak I ordered almost melted in my mouth. Although they were pretty crowded, we were initially served within minutes. Top 10 in Illinois in my opinion.

We stopped here on our way to Memphis Tennessee. The food here was outstanding. My husband joked with me that he hasn't seen me eat that much of my food ever. I got the pony breakfast shoe my husband got the breakfast horse shoe and my son got french toast with bacon. Will definitely make the drive here again for their food

Waitress was rude and impatient. Not even deserving of her $5 tip since she had the audacity to turn to her coworker and whisper “I’m so annoyed” after my partner asked her a simple question about the total slip. If you can’t do math, do not be putting 8.99 and 9.99 on the same slip and saying the math is 2 dollars and some change. Most of the time, servers hand you the total slip with EVERYTHING andnot after every single item you add on. She didn’t even say thank you for her tip, but please Lollie’s Cafe, teach your staff to be nicer and kinder with people who are autistic.
