Crema's Take

Tucked away in Nixa, Lindsay's Kitchen combines a welcoming family atmosphere with genuinely impressive food that goes beyond typical café fare—think perfectly spiced gumbo, flash-fried spinach, and omelets that earn praise as "the best I've ever eaten." The warm, personalized service (regulars rave about hostess Eileen's recommendations) and full breakfast menu make it ideal for lingering over coffee with friends or family, though consistency issues suggest hitting them on a good day will reward you with something special.

I ordered the California breakfast burrito, and it was a complete disappointment. The tortilla was ripped all the way down the side, so the entire thing fell apart the moment I tried to eat it. On top of that, it was about 90% eggs and looked absolutely nothing like what was described on the menu. There was barely anything else in it. For the price they’re charging, you would expect something that’s at least put together properly and resembles what’s advertised. This felt like zero care was put into it. I also ordered a cinnamon roll, and without exaggeration it was one of the worst cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had. It was hard as a rock, had a grainy, gritty texture, and was incredibly bland with almost no flavor. It honestly tasted stale, like it had been sitting out for a day or two. For the prices they’re charging, the quality was completely unacceptable. I’ve had far better food from gas stations. Very disappointing experience and definitely not somewhere I’d return to or recommend.

Quite frankly, one of our favorite restaurants in the Nixa/Ozark area. It’s owned by a wonderful family (who also own Prima’s) and they make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The food is consistently excellent, and we especially love the dinner menu. The staff is fantastic and have honestly started to feel like family to us — probably because we eat there so often. Do yourself a favor and order the ribeye. You won’t be disappointed.

We were greeted warmly upon entering by Eileen, who kindly accommodated our seating request and offered helpful insight into several dishes. We followed her recommendations and ordered the salmon with rice and the pork medallions. However, first we took a leap of faith and tried the crab cakes. They were the best in town: seared, not greasy, very tasty with a unique sauce and some greens. Highly recommend. The salmon was prepared perfectly, featuring a sweet-and-spicy glaze that was delicious, though slightly on the spicy side. The pork medallions - sourced locally - were exceptionally tender—truly fork-tender, with no knife required. The mushroom sauce was well seasoned and very flavorful. Pricing was reasonable, and the cocktails were quite good as well. The restroom was super clean, was well appointed, with lady things including hair spray. We wiil be returning to try the Prime Rib.

This place is a hidden gem! Their dedication to the food quality and taste is amazing! I really enjoyed their flash fried spinach and their gumbo. Gumbo was perfectly spiced to be able to enjoy the seafood and sausage and get that southern hint of heat. Atmosphere is OK. It's a clean diner. But the food is way worth eating here! PS: Keep in mind that the menu availability differ based on 'Lunch Time', 'Dinner Time' and 'Fridays & Weekends'

The hostess was so enthusiastic about the food and she was 💯 correct. We both ordered the Denver omelet and I ordered a lemon cranberry muffin. Best omelet I have ever eaten. It had lots of smoky bacon and cheese with crispy potatoes. There is a cute book cart for kids. Service was fast and friendly. I can't wait to return for dinner. Great prices too!
