Unfortunately, I have to change my opinion due to my last visit.

We arrived (my 5 month old, my wife, and I) with many open tables (12) to be seen, and no one waiting.

We stood at the door for 25+ minutes (It's extremely cold in February, and my 5 month old doesn't need to have to wait on the floor as my arms gave out holding her seat.) The door is less than 5 yards from the counter.

Eventually, we get seated. Behind the fireplace wall at the complete back of the restaurant next to the entrance to "the den". A "wonderful" two seat tiny table.

Waitress was great. I made the comment that Lazlo's sure isn't what it used to be. She talked to the manager type who cam over. Manager type asked what I meant by the comment.

I explained that when I worked for the original Lazlo's in the Haymarket, no one waited 20+ minutes if there was open tables. They didn't put couples with infants way in the back against a wall. Her atitude was basically "oh well", and got a smug look on her face and walked away.

I used to wait over an hour just to get into Lazlo's just for the French dip sandwiches. Now I wouldn't wait long enough to cross the street to get to the place. Just a tiny amount of meat (less than 1/4 filled bun), and was served with 1/4" of au jus in the ramiken.

I now tell people to avoid going to Lazlo's, it just isn't what it used to be.

It used to rock! Excellent service, Excellent food, with huge portions, and a fun place to go.

Now: Service stinks, food is sub par at best, and the portions are tiny and overpriced ($4.99 for SIX onion rings!!!)

Jay and Scott, what happened????

The meat was not cooked all the way and there was so much fatty waste and the bread was soaked completed through with the juice. It was like they took the scraps from the prime rib and slapped it on a hoagie bun. I would have said something at the time, but no one asked how my meal was. They just gave me my check.

I use to live in South Lincoln and went to this location about 3 or 4 times a month. Since I've moved to East Lincoln I go to the downtown Lazlos more often as I work downtown.

Since September I've been to 56th & Hwy 2 three times, two of the three times was unsatisfactory. Has there been a change in management? What is the reason for the poor service and quality of food?

The other unsatisfactory incident involved the hostess and my husband. She fawned all over us because we had to wait for our food (We were in your restaurant a total of 45 min. I didn't think it was excessive.) She ended up giving us our meal free. I was shocked! I had been there earlier in the day with my friends and it took us 45 minutes to eat. So I asked my husband if this hostess was a friend of his. He said he didn't know her. What would be the difference between 3 women taking 45 minutes to dine and a couple taking 45 minutes to dine? Since I hadn't seen my husband for 2 weeks as I was out of the country, I enjoyed spending a nice quiet meal with him, except for her constant coming over to the table and touching him and talking to him about our "wait". Hopefully this hostess has been fired by now, she was pregnant and I hate to have her lose her job, but she needs to keep her hands off married men.
