    I had one day left before I moved to New Glasgow and was hungry . Went here and was tired and looking for a meal. Had chicken fingers and fries and gravy. Was great. I will miss Windsor for its fine cafes and restaurants. Thank you for being so polite and friendly.

    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

    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.
