Lasko’s Restaurant

Arrived here around 11am for an early weekend lunch. The corned beef on rye sandwich was plentiful. Tender, mild corned beef on toasted rye bread. The corned beef was a bit on the lean side, but still very good.
The service was efficient and friendly. Although the seating was mostly full, my mother, brother, and I did not feel rushed.

Best place to grab breakfast or lunch in town. Very busy so plan accordingly or you will get a bad seat (by the door) or no seat at all. Very large portions. You will not be disappointed. Good diner/​deli fare and the prices are reasonable.

Great breakfast! Ordered the Greek omelette but substituted spinach for the onions. Easily the best I’ve had. The owner and waitstaff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely making this my go to breakfast place in Midland.

Laskos brings that metro Detroit coney island taste to mid Michigan.
Being a native of metro Detroit, my family has dearly missed that special comfort food you can only find at a Greek diner. Laskos is originally from down state and they are one of only a couple of restaurants like this in the region.
I highly recommend their lamb gyro sandwich with a side of coney fries. You will also not be disappointed with their Greek salad. Service is fast and top notch. Only thing that could make it better is a vestibule to manage the winter wind that blows through when their door opens.

Disgusted and disrespected. This is how we felt after dining at Lasko’s and finding a wad of revolting pubic like hair in our meal. The worst part is how we were treated by the owner, Lisa.
As a Midland native, I wouldn’t be doing this town justice by not leaving a review about the horrible experience that we had in this establishment with their owner and manager, Lisa. Like other comments on here have alluded to, the management and ownership here is disgraceful and should be ashamed of the way they treat customers.
Shortly after sitting down for our meal, a wad of hair was found just beneath the egg in the skillet breakfast that Lasko’s offers. If finding hair is disgusting enough, this was a wad of hair in the very center of the dish. When we notified the waitress, we received nothing more than an short apology, the manager didn’t come to our table. At this point, our appetites were ruined and we had enough. Because we had just sat down, we decided to leave and head for Café American around the corner.
As we stood up to leave and were walking out of the restaurant, Lisa, the owner and manager, physically cut in front of us in the middle of the restaurant and began to question us about our meal. She began to make a very loud scene and was peppering me on questions about our meal in the most condescending tone. When I informed her that we were not willing to pay for our meal because we had just arrived and were forced to deal with this mess, she was enraged and started making us and many of the dining customers feel very uncomfortable. She demanded that I pay for the other items we had ordered, specifically drawing attention to the «drinks» aka one cup of coffee that was on my bill. This isn’t how you treat a customer who discovers a wad of hair under their egg yoke. This isn’t customer service. This isn’t acceptable in any form of business, let alone the service industry.
Lisa not only refused to engage me in a mature and civil discussion, she was defiant, rude and couldn’t control her own emotions.
Midland deserves better than Lasko’s.

Great place! Love the music they play… and the food YUMO!!!
Super breakfast and we love the gyros!!!

I’ve been here twice. Each time the food was good and relatively cheap.
I, however, will never step foot in the restaurant ever again. My friend and I were treated so poorly by the manager, I can’t imagine ever going back. We had JUST BARELY finished our meal, when the manager can be heard saying (very loudly, 2 feet away from us), «Once these ladies leave, I need you to move a table here,» to the bus boy. I, then, heard her repeat it again in quick succession. She said it loudly enough that she knew we heard her. It was just an underhanded way to tell us to leave, we need your table. The final straw was when she had the bus boy start moving the table (to add to a booth, at that) to herd us out. I kid you not. I repeatedly told my friend while it was happening, «Is this really happening? Are we getting herded out? Awkward…»
Mind you, I worked as a server at a larger restaurant and know not to sit and chat while people are waiting for a table. We were NOT one of those people. Having worked in customer service, I couldn’t ever imagine telling someone to leave because we need your table. You just don’t do that; it’s bad business! And to do it the underhanded way she did, even worse!
I really should have called her out on it, instead we left (like little cattle getting herded out). I really think she thought she could do that because we were two younger females. She would have never disrespected two men like that. (Personal opinion there).
