the lizard

way too slow.... i have been to thelizardat prince books four times now and without fail they take a minimum of 15-20 minutes to make a sandwich to go. this time, i went at 1:30pm thinking they might speed up if they weren't dealing with the lunch rush. the food is okay but when you pay $11 for a tuna sandwich and a bottled drink you expect at least a little service to go along with it.

bill & amy prince, owners. happy new year!
thelizardhas reopened with a new chef and lots of new tasty treats!

our menu is very similar to our "sister" leapinglizardcafe in virginia beach, with homemade soups, salads and sandwiches. fresh local ingredients, homemade bread & fresh baked cookies are our signature. everything is sliced, diced and baked daily...we have no freezer!

watch leapinglizardcafe on the food network's "diners, drive-ins & dives"

ask about our catering platters & delivery service

see ya in the new year!

recent visits to the lizard. i went to thelizardfor first time couple weeks ago. it was absolutely amazing so i invited two friends from work to go today especially to try the sweet potato biscuit/surry ham/jam special combo. placed our order for 2 waters and unsweet tea and 10 minutes later the blonde waitress (w/o much personality and apparently not loving being there) returned to make sure she had drink order correct and then went to fix drinks. we went to place food order and that is when she told us they were out of sweet potato biscuit special, thus all of us had to view menu again and then wait for order to be taken. took about 40 minutes to get our lunch today and with only an hour for lunch that was pushing it. we enjoyed our lunch but staff just seemed a little disorganized and kitchen was very backed up (when we arrived two tables had ordered and food didn't come for a while and two people were waiting when we got there for take out and it took a long time for them to get their food as well). maybe they should mark the blackboard when they are out of items so it will speed the process of guests placing their orders. thanks for listening.

located at 109 e. main street, thelizardis the new cafe in prince books. specializing in "seasonal fare from the local farms of tidal virginia", they offer sandwiches, wraps, salads, soup and dessert daily for lunch. we made our first trip for lunch on
