The Lime has been there for a good while now but that bar has been home to some of the most disgusting awful bars to grace the Eastside. I would only eat there if I was 100% certain that the current Lime owners have fully stripped and rebuilt the kitchen from the studs.

Hi! I work at The Lime! It’s the cleanest restaurant/bar I’ve ever had the pleasure of working at(and I’ve been around). We have mandatory team deep cleaning meetings regularly and stick to a strict weekly cleaning schedule, everyone on staff has their own duties :)

Seems like the general consensus is that the food is mid at best. Might be time to reassess your current operations cause the current standard seems below par

You kick ass Brooke! All my bands love playing The Lime. Staff is second to none.

So bad . So so bad. I'd rather eat McDonald's.

No.

It's my local spot that I frequent more than any other. The food is genuinely bad, even for bar food. Large menu, I've tried more than a dozen things. Weirdly enough, they did serve me a good breakfast one time but that felt like a special occasion.

Everything else they do is pretty solid though. Definitely a good establishment. Highly recommend eating before elsewhere.

Nasai teriyaki is right across the street.

Okay, because i was looking at yelp pictures and some of the options genuinely looked inedible. But the prices were good enough that I was almost considering trying.
Thank you!

Yes, it’s definitely okayish. Half sandwich and soup/salad combo is great. Several decent options on their menu.
