Lew’s Drive In

We just went for our first time, and this place is a hidden gem. Yes, it is a no frills place, but the Sunday buffet was amazing. The workers are super friendly and all the food was fresh and hot. No doubt that we will be back soon to try other items on the menu. Definitely worth stopping in.

I’ve been a customer of this place for twenty years. When Lew sold the restaurant to Rafael it went thru some big changes with the food but not much else. After all the glowing reviews I will try and be honest. The food Is fair and the place is a dump. The toilet is usually dirty and the seat on the commode has been broken for several years. The seating in the dining room is old and uncomfortable. Dingy pictures of plates of food hanging on the walls look anything but appetizing. Paper signs in the windows advertising specials block out the light. Some of the food is good, some not so much. I ordered a burrito. It came covered with black specks from a grill that isn’t cleaned very often. I still eat there on occasion, but not as much as in the past. People I work with will no longer go there. This place is really hit or miss

This guy makes a pretty damn good taco and torta

We go here sometimes for the Sunday brunch buffet after church and have had them cater a party for us. This is an inexpensive diner. As to the Sunday brunch buffet — Pros: nice variety of food, Mexican and American choices, plenty for the kids to choose from, «real» sausage and bacon, the owner will also play guitar and sing sometimes which is pretty cool to hear. Cons: if you go too much past 12:30 or it’s a particularly slow day, the food is sometimes cold and sometimes it’s hard to get a refill on the coffee but I guess I shouldn’t be drinking that much anyway. As to the catering — the rice, beans and fajitas are so good in the buffet that we have used this place to cater a family party and got TONS of compliments on the food. :) Overall really good place to go for Sunday brunch — especially early in the morning and they have excellent catering prices and service.

I hadn’t been here in about over 10 years. It was a good burger joint then. But now, it’s a great all around joint. American and Mexican food. But if you’re a fan of authentic mexican, skip the American food. You can get that anywhere. The steak fajitas are excellent. If you want it spiced up a bit, they will slice some fresh jalapenos and stir that in the mix. Very tasty, priced right… and a breakfast buffet that I havent had yet

My youth baseball team was sponsored by another Lew’s when I first played, but that was in Wheaton. I have been to the Batavia location, and it was just as good! I just remember having to «twist» to get a twist ice cream cone!
