The food was very nasty 🤢 and a waste of my money and time. It’s a 👎. I will not recommend anyone to eat here. 

Business response:

We are sorry you had that experience. Most of our customers are regulars and are very satisfied, but we are human and have bad days as well. Please know we have a standard policy... if you are unhappy with your food, bring it back uneaten and we will replace it. We love our customers and hope that you will give us another chance!

I really wanted to like Lem's, but it was my first and last time. I didn't mind the wait, it wasn't an issue. I got a bucket of tips, and the meat was very tough. Hot links had good flavor. Sorry Lem's, just not for me

My first and last time going there. I've heard such good things about this place was excited to try it for myself. I was disappointed. The service was nice, the hot links were good, but the rib tips were a disappointment.
