Breakfast for Dinner [Seligman AZ]We were hankering for a breakfast meal (at dinner time). At first we stopped at the Roadkill Cafe but they did not serve breakfast but was suggested by the waitress that the restaurant across the street did. We apologized and headed here at Westside Lilo's Cafe. The restaurant was not too busy and we were led to a table for two. I ordered Country Fried Steak while the hubby just wanted a bowl of the soup of the day which was Pozole. He really liked the soup! My Country Fried Steak was crispy, hearty and smothered in a rich, beefy creamy gravy and topped with fried eggs. Delicious! Wish we had room for their world-famous carrot cake (as advertised on the signage outside).The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and customer service was excellent, nice and friendly, we were well taken care of. There is an attached gift shop, wish I had time to browse through the unique souvenirs and charming logoed items. We would love to return and dine here again... Review #3702

If you're staying in Seligman, this is a solid choice. If you're just passing through, there may be better options--but either way, the service here was great.The food was decent. I tried the chicken fried steak for something new, and it was fine. I preferred the brown gravy over the white. The veggies were a bit bland, but the mashed potatoes were good. The burger was decent, and the home-cut fries were okay (they offer different styles, like waffle-cut, which is a nice touch).Where this place really shines is dessert. The carrot cake slice is massive--super dense and full of warm holiday spice flavors. I do wish they offered me their cupcake version since the slice was so large, but it's perfect for sharing or taking to-go.The interior was clean and had the rustic, small-town decor you'd expect, complete with statement pieces and taxidermy mounts on the walls. If I ever find myself staying in Seligman again, this would probably be my go-to spot.

Amazing service, decent food, a bit pricey. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry in Seligman. Clean restrooms and amazing cut French fries.

A good meal with great service and even better ambiance. We ordered the chicken fried steak and Lilo's famous burger. The pretzel bun was a nice touch on the burger. The food was good and our server was always coming by to check on us. I highly recommend the carrot cake. It was more dense than what I expected, but in the best way. I think a whole table could share it because between 2 of us, it took days for us to actually finish it! What was memorable to me was the outdoorsy theme of the restaurant with a German twist. It was the perfect vibe for a trip to the Grand Canyon. If you want some good diner-style food I highly recommend stopping here.

The Flagge der Bundesrepublik Deutschland/Germany with its distinctive black, red, golden yellow horizontal stripes fluttering in the wind of Arizona high country caught my eye driving along old Route 66 in Seligman which means blessed man in German. Westside Lilo Café with a gift shop featuring Route 66 memorabilia is closer to an American diner in terms of its menu with a bit of Mexican. There are only three German items: Bratwurst Sausage in a sour dough roll; Jäger Schnitzel; Schweine/pork Schnitzel and not Wiener Schnitzel since by definition, the meat must be veal. 1) I chose the Jäger Schweine Schnitzel which is pork pounded to a thin steak, lightly breaded and pan fried. Reminds me of the Italian Costoletta Milanese. Jäger (yay gehr) means hunter, and this savory brown sauce is chockful of mushrooms which was traditionally from the German forests. This gravy has a satisfying brothy Umami. Ordered accompanying French fries crispy, but due to the high heat, they came out dark brown and still not having that Belgian style twice fried light crispiness although I was told they were hand cut potatoes. The mushy, dull green peas & carrots look as though they come out of a can from the 1950's. A mini roll rounded out the dish. The Jäger Schnitzel portion was fine. Perhaps ditching the canned peas & carrots and replacing it with a little salad would be more refreshing. And brining the cut potatoes and frying them under lower heat twice would create better French fries. 2) Coconut Cream Pie: The light yellow filling was thickened, luscious, dairy rich. Standard pie crust a-ok. But the whipped cream tasted like coolwhip with a slight chemical after taste. I had to scrape it off which unfortunately also eliminated the toasted coconut flakes. 3) Carrot Cake Muffin was another matter. Cake is moist, soft, velvety. Sweetened and aromatic by brown sugar toastiness, touch of vanilla. The off white cream cheese frosting is thick, creamy sweet, but the crowning flavour is a good dose of almond extract that adds a refreshing, nutty scent that makes this carrot cake so alluring. Half a walnut crowns the top. 2-3a) Iced Tea plain since I planned to drive all the way to L.A. right afterward. What impressed me was my waitress Kris and her dark haired working partner. When a huge crowd suddenly came in, they went into high gear coördinating their movements and strategies like well planned choreography. Remembering many multiple orders, literally running from the kitchen window to various tables to deliver the right dish to each customer. Of course, there were customer requests to fulfill along the way. All this was done with smiles and rushed friendly small talk. They are thoughtful, kind, charming, enthusiastic about their jobs which is so very refreshing and moving. I jokingly told Kris that she didn't have to go to the gym. Food here is good, but the two waitresses make coming to Westside Lilo a joy. Their warm banter among themselves & the customers make this a feel good place. Earlier, they made time to give bons mots to an older gentleman who came every Tuesday like clockwork making him feel very welcome. Truly the spirit of Route 66 is exemplified by these two "Laverne & Shirleys". This was around 6pm on April 9th 2024. One day after the total solar eclipse that swept through the U.S. farther east. So glad I experienced the love. Lilo, if you're reading this, please give them a well deserved raise if you haven't done so already. "Geben Sie ihnen eine Gehaltserhöhung doch bitte."5 stars for the kind service. The food although good, in this case, is incidental.

Stopped by a nearby Western American restaurant for our last meal before heading to camp at Havasu Falls. The atmosphere was inviting, with a charming, rustic vibe.We started with the black bean sandwich, a vegetarian option that was surprisingly delicious. The southwestern chicken sandwich was good as well. The pork loin was okay, but the fries that came with each dish were disappointing--dry and tasting like they'd just come out of the freezer. On a brighter note, the cod fish and chips were a hit; the chips were so good I couldn't get enough, and the fish was cooked to perfection.Unfortunately, our experience took a downturn. Our server was hard to find, and basic requests for water refills and condiments went unmet. We eventually had to grab utensils from another table. After a long wait and asking other servers for help, our server finally reappeared, and we ordered the classic cheesecake and lemon meringue pie. Although they looked enticing, both desserts were dry and thick in consistency--not at all what we were expecting.

Lilo's café is a welcoming diner/restaurant that offers a delicious selection of breakfast options, burgers, chili, steak, soups and more. The moment you walk in, you're welcomed by the hospitality of the staff and can seat yourself.I ordered the local's favourite which featured eggs of my choice, deliciously fried hash browns and soft biscuits. The biscuits weren't very flavourful and I felt the gravy to be more on the creamier side. The meatloaf sandwich was extremely good and I highly recommend.I highly recommend getting their famous Carrot Cake which was the MOST MOIST CARROT CAKE I've ever had! They had Guy Fieri's stamp of approval on the wall as well.

Stopped by this cure little spot during our road trip. I was SICK of eating fast food for breakfast. I found this cafe on Yelp and it had good reviews, so we came. The food was delicious. I had the Locals Favorite with a side of bacon, and my honey had a custom omelette. The biscuits and gravy were made with love and you could taste it. Overall, We loved it all! Not to mention, the waitress Crystal was a sweetheart, she was on it and very attentive despite being the only waitress. We will for sure come back during another trip.
