The Lemon Drop - Longview (WA)

2 /5 Terri Pierson: My sister ordered two quiches for a family event yesterday and they were both burnt. The crusts were completely stuck to the dishes so everyone got piles of burnt crust fragments and broken quiche filling on their plates. It looked horrible and burnt crust is never delicious. It’s just not right to spend money on something and not receive a quality product. We could have done much better ourselves but assumed we would be getting better quality and wanted something special for our special occasion. :(

4 /5 Dianna M: So….. they had a full house tonight and they certainly deserve it! Our meals were clearly a hit. Mr. Wonderful had the Italian beef sandwich (imagine a French dip on steroids), he thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the sweet Italian sausage and mushroom Pappardelle with acorn squash. It was so well seasoned that every ingredient made an impression. The highlight of our dining experience this evening was the pumpkin mousse! This tiny confection was out of this world delicious = light, perfectly spiced mousse, sandwiched between a delicate meringue. We almost fought over it. (: Definitely a “should have ordered TWO” = that good of a dessert! I appreciate the ambience here - Bing Crosby singing tunes and Bob Ross painting, while we’re surrounded by vibrant, happy hipsters. Touché! Strong 4 1/2 * Wow, this was a dining experience that we’re certain to repeat. Soon! Ambiance: hipster, trendy, cool, energetic, eclectic, loud(ish) and fun! Those decriptives + us = lol. Our demographics = older generation yet, we felt welcome and comfy. I love the open kitchen concept, I felt like we were visiting friends in their really cool home. We began our culinary feast with beverages, I had a Fairy Godmother - which was an absinthe forward magical creation, truly difficult to describe and seriously delicious. Mr. Wonderful enjoyed a Pilsner. Appetizer: we had the onion and garlic fondue (they were out of their kale & artichoke fondue). It was potent and pungent, served with a delicious grilled squash, crackers and bite-size breads. Mains: Mr. Wonderful ordered the pork belly BLT. He stated that the pork belly was crisp and that the sandwich made his top five. He ordered potato salad on the side but they were out. He’ll try again next visit. I enjoyed the Thai lettuce wraps with soy curls. This dish was perfection on a plate! The contrast of the warm, peanutty soy curls, the delicately pickled cucumber and the other fresh crisp veggies made this dish scream, yum! Happy Ending: Blueberry cheesecake to die for! Yes, yes and yes - not to be missed. And if you don’t have the room for it, take a slice to go. Daniel was our host for the evening. He was personable and genuine - which only added to our enjoyment.

5 /5 Madeline Lovingfoss: The Lemon Drop catered our wedding send off in September 2025. Not only was the food hot and delicious, Michelle is so wonderful to work with! She’s creative and a master of her craft. The food was exactly what we wanted, and we got so much positive feedback from our guests as well! If you don’t need an event catered, you at least gotta stop in for lunch!

5 /5 Tara Noteboom: Toto, I dont think were in Longview anymore! If you havent been to The Lemon Drop yet, its a-ma-zing! I have never been more pleased with service Ive received at a restaurant. Everyone was so friendly, and all the staff were checking on us (pretty sure even the owner). The drinks were truly artisan--perfectly crafted and delicious. I had a peach drop and a "pink lady." Both drinks were the perfect balance of flavor. The chicken bacon artichoke pasta was great! Juicy chicken, nice portion size, and savory sauce. This place is such a treat! Wonderful atmosphere and decorated in a fresh, fun way.
