I have never been to Lorene’s Downtown, but I had always drove past it on my way home. I really enjoyed stopping here with some family for breakfast. I order the taco omelette and it was by far one of the most flavorful omelettes I’ve ever had. Compliments on the chef that made it.

They are always happy to see us and give fast, courteous service. The food is always delicious and well served and appealing. The owner will greet you and is happy you’re there. The restrooms are always clean and functional. They have lots of cute toys and trinkets to buy. The decor is very appealing. A cozy spot for dining. They accommodate large groups!

Centrally located, but a hidden treasure. Lorene's is a mixture of well known customers and walk-ins. Excellent wait staff and the food service is fast.I have only the bacon and eggs, but the menu seems pretty complete for breakfast. The portions are generous and well prepared.The prices are mid range and the atmosphere has a small-town, quiet diner feel.

Wanted a traditional diner experience as Australians in the US and this place delivered 100% Good quality food that wasn't served in excess, super friendly staff and a fantastic layout of booths and counter seats.

Very friendly atmosphere. They have partitions between booths which is really nice. Even though they are primarily for safety reasons, they are great for privacy, and you can actually have conversation with your group and hear! I ordered the fresh veggie omelette. Two thumbs up!

Love Lorene's. Their menu was upgraded. Had the Pigs in a blanket with an over easy egg. My hubby had the Bacon and scrambled eggs. He wasn't to fond of the country potatoes.
