"You have to try it! Great burgers, Chili dogs and the only tenderloin in town that compares to Indiana! Fries are great too! Friendly staff! Haven't tried the ice cream or hot fudge Sunday cake, but it's on my list to try! Looks scrumptious!!"

"Forgot to take a picture at first but we had the bacon cheeseburger, tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, and Cajun fries. The Cajun fries are more seasoned and not spicy so don’t let the “Cajun” turn you away since the flavor is great! Every bite was delicious! Outs you in the mindset of an old time diner with great service, price, and flavor! We added a chocolate shake and hot fudge cake. The hot fudge cake is huge! Everything was amazing and highly recommend giving this place a try!"

"I've had a few burgers in town, and without a doubt, this is now my favorite. Everything tasted amazing; the burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, and the shakes were out of this world. I think the ladies who work here have a great attitude, and they are always smiling and checking on customers to make sure their experience is great."

"You HAVE to try one of the burgers here, they are easily the best burgers you can get in BG and for such an affordable price! We'd heard a lot about Lesa's online but hadn't gotten to try it yet, and it was definitely worth the hype!! The staff were all so nice, the food was insanely fresh, and everything was so good! We will definitely be back!!"

"Lesa's Dairy Dip is a quaint little restaurant with a diner vibe. Has a sit-down counter for four people to enjoy their ice cream or food or take your food into the attached enclosed outdoorsy area to have space for your whole family. You may have to find street parking on a busy day, but there are a few spaces on premises. The staff was very pleasant and checked on me a few times to make sure my food was good. I haven't had a chuckwagon sandwich in many years, and I have to say I was not disappointed. This one was thick cut like a chic fil a chicken patty and was very juicy. The cajun fries were very fresh and tasty. For the price point on the food, this place is a must try to get a taste of home. I will be back."
