Ordered Pizza for a Crew of 20 guys. Picked up the order. Was ready Fast. Pizza was great. Did not cheap out on toppings.
Cafe style restaurant
Have to carry drinks and food to table
Awkward to carry four meals on two trays and no offer of help for staff members
Food was unappetizing and spicy sauce on the children spaghetti meals
Our party of 4 arrived for a late dinner. Took us a few minutes to figure out the menu, order and get our tableware. Food was great! Friendly staff and we knew we were eating 'local' as there was an evening 'coffee klatsch' enjoying a visit!
Not the greatest pasta, the spaghetti was bland. Lasagna not much better. Took about 30 minutes and the place was not busy. Self serve cafeteria style. 2 adults 2 kids was about $50
we go to L&W all the time and we always get great food there , there are outdoor tables out front with huge pots of flowers every 10 feet under a large roof overhang on the patio . You can see the mountains to the west and quite close . My wife and I splurged on our diet and ordered... more
We stopped here after a long drive from Vancouver. My buddy ordered the spaghetti and wasn't thrilled. Soggy (soaked) noodles and too much sauce. Bland at that. I ordered a small veggie pizza. Waited quite a bit longer for it, but worth the wait. It is an order at the counter and wait for your number to be called joint.... more
we all found something on the menu that we liked. we were a family traveling with teens and tweens and grandparents. you order cafeteria style. the orders were large.
We eat at L & W every visit to Hinton, and have never been disappointed with our food. The lasagna is a definite favorite, as well as their pizza - second to none! Everything is always fresh, hot, and served quickly.
This is a very good family restaurant. The food is great and they have very good weekday specials and at a reasonable price. This restaurant is always busy and they do a lot of pizza delivery's which I do recommend.
Pretty good food, pretty good service, and not bad price, but u might have to clean your own table! Very reasonable for hinton
I spend my birthday together with my friends, I ordered chicken wings, calamaris, l&w pizza, ribs and spaghetti. Unfortunately we are not satisfied as all the entire food was very less from which I paid for! We are not hungry much but the quantity that we expected was not fair enough. We decided not to come back anymore.
Always busy and not surprised. Great selection of food. My favorite was the pizza as it was very filling. Ordering system is a lake-out but set up as a comfortable restaurant.
This is an uncommon venue but very much worth the experience.
You can order pizza or steak or just about anything. Its a bit off the regular area...but easily accessible.
The very best Pizza on the Yellowhead, not a poor item on the menu...I live in Hinton and eat here at least 4 times per month for lunch & dinner.
Great view easy parking and the food is good. When on your way to jasper AB this is a great idea to fill up the family and get a break before the final drive to jasper.
Not the L&W I remember at all. The cafeteria/fast food style I could get over, if the quality of food was up to par, but this wasn't the case. The appearance of the restaurant itself looks nice, but that's were it stops. Will NOT be going back.
...and reasonably priced. When wine is served at a Greek restaurant, they don't hold back. Definitely would recommend to others & would eagerly return.
L&Ws in Hinton was, for us, nothing like the Trip Advisor rating of over four stars; it was average food quality and preparation at best; the service (even with cafeteria style) was disorganized, terribly slow; orders not filled as stated; and worst, just not a good value at all! The owner, or so we were told, was present and working,... more
The atmosphere, location and food was excellent.
The service was less to be desired. Mostly kids at the front counter, most didn't seem to know what they were doing, dressed unprofessionally in tank tops, yoga pants and backwards hats. I get its cafeteria style, but 4 people were focused on one person, 2 were hiding, one was oblivious... Kitchen staff...

Cafeteria style = no table service, good portions, reasonably priced, but food lacks any true flavor. It's just kind of "there". Next time in Hinton I will probably go back - but just don't expect anything special.
The restaurant itself is very VERY nice inside. Both the outside curb appeal and the inside décor are quite inviting. It was clean. It ended for me at the cafeteria style ordering. You go to the counter and order and pay before you find a table. You get a number and have to pick up your own food. Just like... more
The menu offers a wide variety of food at good prices. The outdoor seating is very pleasant & the service quite good.
This is not a conventional sit down restaurant. You order cafeteria style yes, and don't forget to grab utensils, you will be called to come pick up your meal from the counter, and when you sit down to your food you will go to heaven with the delicious food they have prepared for you, our group have tried their lasagna... more
There is no service to the tables but besides that we really loved the decor/atmosphere. The restaurant is well cared for inside and out. It is a cozy restaurant, clean pleasant and open floor plan. Prices are very decent. We had a longer wait then most for our food but we did order Salmon, our wait was just over a... more
On our way to Jasper National Park, my family and I stopped for the night in Hinton Alberta. Hungary from a day of driving, L&W Pizza was our eating destination. 3 of us had cheeze burgers and my daughter had the 1/4 chicken dinner. The plates were loaded. Home cut fries are fantactic and my daughter got veggies, rice, mashed... more
There are several locations of L&W Pizza, we visited the Hinton, Alberta one. Some friends had recommended L&W as "the" place for pizza; they had lived in Jasper where the original L&W was very popular. Unfortunately, as so often happens, when multiple outlets are opened, the quality and originality decline. It is cafeteria-style, where you place your order at the... more
This place has been renovated since I last visited. Food is great as usual and the service is spot on. You order first then seat yourself. They call your number and you go and get your food from the counter. Sounds bush but it's pretty cool and the food is worth it.
Cafeteria style restaurant
I ordered the chicken fingers with poutine - chicken was okay, fries tasted old, gravy didnt have much of a taste and cheese was shredded cheddar (EWW), ketchup in hienz bottles must be something else tasted like sour cheap tomato sauce.
my husband has the lasagna, lots of cheese not much sauce and very salty
chicken fingers...

Overnight stop in Hinton gave me a chance to catch up with transplanted family who knew the area. The suggestion of this great cafeteria style eating establishment was right on! The choices were plentiful and made to order once a decision was made. The atmsosphere was relaxing with the choice to dine either in or out on the covered patio.... more
At this restaraunt you go up to the counter and order your food they give you a number and when it's called you go get it, the food is amazing and very well priced $8 - $18 and you don't have to worry about bad service because you order yourself, seat yourself and get your own food!!
Well our order arrives & when we open it we find it's the wrong order, so I call them and they talk to me Like I'm the rude one cause I actually called in and told them they screwed up. So they re-do the order but in the mean time, I re-check my totals and find out they also over... more
I love this place. Try the beef and onion pizza! Oh and the Cesar salad goes great too. Not to mention the children's menu, prefect portions and a great variety. All for a reason able price.
If you like greasy food like burgers, donairs and pizza you may like this place. The greek salad is almost dripping in oil.
I read the reviews and decided it would be a good place to order a salad and a pizza. There was 4 staff chatting and joking around as we stood there for 15 min before the girl took our order, and yes they all saw us when we came in.
We ordered a caesar salad for two and an all...

Very good food, excellent service, it doesn't matter what kind of italian food you order it is great, I always order the kids size as it is plenty of food.
I have to admit, after making plans to meet family at the L&W in Hinton I read on TripAdvisor that it is a self service restaurant I was a little put off on the idea. But, being easier than trying to replan everything, we went ahead with it anyway. The food was great, and kitchen was very timely in getting... more
We went in here with some trepidation but we were wrong. The food was fantastic. Fresh salad, great home cooked lasagne and reasonable prices with friendly service. Really good and most unexpected!
I grew up in this community and would drive year after year just to order this pizza. The rest of the food is very good and obviously, Greek food is their specialty (I think they moved to Alberta from Greece). I tell everyone I go that if they go through Hinton to stop and order a H & P pizza!!... more
Cafeteria style eatery. A bit confusing to start. We ordered Pizza (very good) lots of topping & cheese. Also the L&W burger. Excellant !
We were travelling through Hinton to Edmonton and decided to stop for a quick meal, unfortunately there was nothing quick about it and the food was such a horrible disappointment! We waited for 45 min for a Burger and Fries that tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for 15 min ( lettuce was warm, burger was... more
While this was a little like a roadhouse we found that it was all we needed. The food was nice and it was a good price.
We ate here twice during our 3-night stay. It was a comfortable atmosphere and had a good variety of menu options. Ordered and picked-up at the counter, so not having to tip saved us some money. Donair and ceasar salad was enjoyed by husband twice, daughter liked her pizza, I enjoyed my spanokapita, though it wasn't the best I've had.... more
You must order and pick up your food at a counter, but it is worth the inconvenience. The food was very good and priced well. Good parking. Having table service would significantly improve the overall experience.
Love it! Baked spaghetti is a must. Friendly staff, awesome foo.
Nice place to eat, good service and fair prices. Clean surroundings.
We found the food to be overpriced and bland. You order at the register just like a fast food place and if you want a beer, you carry it back to your table yourself. Do NOT order the spaghetti and meat sauce, it was not good at all. Ugh. For a bit more money go to the Olympia Restaurant in... more
The staff acted as though they didn't know what they were doing. The bathrooms were not only with out soap and toilet tissue but were filthy.
The food was only average and over-priced. We didn't see many restaurants in Hinton, however, so this may be the best option available.
Priced on the high side like most restaurants around here, but portions were ample and the quality was decent. Appears to be a favorite of the locals.
Heading back home yesterday, we were all starving and most of the places in town were closed up either for Sunday or for Canada Day. L&W was open, and at first I was hesitant because of its one star review on Yelp, but it was actually not the worst.
There was something for everyone, and they were surprisingly vegan-friendly. The...
