What Abbie Krajewski likes about The Lake Cafe:
Went for my first time during customer appreciation week, super busy! Also a Friday morning, so that’s something to keep in mind. Great deals for the amount of food you get, and the taste is amazing. Kind service as well, definitely will be coming back sometime. View all feedback.

Awesome place, awesome staff, awesome buffet and menu, fast service, reasonable prices. Awesome. We will be back. Thank you.

Lake Cafe offers a unique dining experience where time seems to slow down as patrons, including staff, engage in leisurely conversation. While the breakfast buffet may be overpriced, ordering from the menu is recommended. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, perfect for those looking to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. The food is described as delicious, particularly the Walleye sandwich and Bourbonburger. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The homemade dishes, such as the chicken and waffles, are highly recommended and demonstrate the restaurant's commitment to quality. Overall, Lake Cafe is a must-visit establishment for those seeking a delicious meal in a welcoming environment.

Big food and if I have shared, I have a gluten allergy that they seem to take seriously and my breakfast food has been boiled everything without giving me one.
