I thought this recipe was marvelous! I made it as one of our Thanksgiving desserts and it was a big hit. I had a lemon square recipe from years ago and lost it. This Lemon Square recipe has taken it place. – Anonymous Review

As a Yankee at heart who lives in and loves Naples, Forida, I decided to make this recipe, substituting key lime juice in equal amounts for lemon juice. It was terrific! Everyone loved them at a party I catered in Naples. I used a bottled key lime juice and then put them on a platter with fresh blackberries and they tasted and looked great. – Reviewed by Melissa Jones

The crust is too greasy, and the filling is too sweet, you can't taste much of the lemon. – Anonymous Review
