Lake View

★ 4.2 / 5 (3357 reviews)

A decades-old, family-run spot in Fancy Gap, VA, Lake View Restaurant is beloved for hearty breakfasts, fluffy pancakes, and famously handmade cheeseburgers that draw riders and regulars alike. Friendly, attentive staff and affordable prices complement lakeside vistas and free parking. However, charm is tempered by inconsistent upkeep and food quality: reports of dingy, dated interiors, chilly dining rooms, occasional bland or cold entrees, and rare hygiene lapses on takeout. Ideal for budget-minded families and breakfast lovers seeking homestyle fare, but expect rustic surroundings and variable consistency.

Was Jeanne P Wilber at Lake View a mag?
Ate here for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different days. Great place. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Had the same waitress every time. Loved her. If you're in this area. Highly recommended. By the way. We were on two. Perfect stop off for my riding friends. View all feedback.

What Janet Linkous dislikes about Lake View:
Nice restaurant that has been in Fancy Gap, VA for decades. It is very popular for breakfast. I had a pancake with bacon. The bacon was crispy but not overdone. The pancake was fluffy and warm. My friend got 2 eggs over easy, bacon, a biscuit and pan fried potatoes. He enjoyed his meal, too. Th waitress was friendly and attentive. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast View all feedback.

The breakfast selection is excellent! I enjoyed dining in and found the prices to be very reasonable, ranging from $1 to $10 per person. The food was outstanding, and I would rate it a perfect 5. The service was also top-notch, deserving another 5. The atmosphere was quite pleasant, though I would give it a 4. Overall, a great experience!
