    This was our second time dining at Lake Cafe. We arrived on a Sunday around 10:30. We came through the back entrance, which appears to be the norm, as it connects to the parking lot. There was a breakfast buffet awkwardly placed just inside the foyer, near the restrooms. It seemed to create a traffic jam with the customers entering and exiting the restaurant. While waiting for our table, we watched the buffet being refilled by dumping the fresh new food on top, and leaving the old food buried below. This happened a few times, so I am assuming the food at the bottom of each dish was from this mornings first batch. There was a man who appeared to be the owner who was seating and clearing tables. This guy really hustled, and made everyone feel welcome and important. We opted against the buffet for obvious reasons. We ordered from the menu instead. The food was good, the price was right, and the staff was attentive enough considering how busy the place was. They did a great job of turning tables quickly, and the food seemed to be coming out of the kitchen at a good pace. Lose the buffet, and I have no complaints.

    Old school burgers and milkshakes not to be missed - factor in a friendly wait staff and you have a winning combination.

    Would not suggest due to poor serving staff, and lack of attention to detail while preparing and flavor of food

    This restaurant has an excellent broasted/BBQ chicken buffet and a Alaska Haddock fish fry buffet. Wow! Awesome meal for $8.95 senior price. Delicious. Met the two talented cooks and super nice manager. Big Lake is lucky to have this neat place to enjoy.

    How do you dare serve a bad cup of coffee in this day and age. Went for breakfast and had eggs, hash and toast. The eegs were done correctly but had the flavor of everything else that had been on the grill that day. The corn beef had no texture. Corn Beef paste and potatoes is not hash. Maybe that is why they burned it to give you something to chew. Two hundred feet away is a McDonalds and that is a better option

    This place opened in 1968 and I've been coming here for years. Clean, locally owned and huge portions. No fancy offerings, that's for sure, but a good old small town cafe serving Minnesota comfort food. Omelets are big enough for two and, as a two pot a day coffee drinker, I found the coffee to be fine. The wait staff alternates between those who have been here for years and the local high school kids, but I'm not picky enough to be unable to accept a misstep here and there. I kind of like supporting the home town folks and this little place is just fine.

    Your basic Mark I, Mod 0 greasy spoon breakfast. Basic eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Basic coffee. Wallet friendly. Sometimes simple is good in the AM.

    A no-frills cafe. Service was fast and friendly. Friday night buffet was very limited to fish, a couple casseroles, Mac and Cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy. Salad bar very good with lots of different toppings. For $8.95 it was ok. I still think we'll keep going to Monti's Cornerstone Cafe or Pizza Ranch for a buffet. We may be back to check out their breakfast, though.

    Great food and service, nice surprise! They had pop overs on the Friday fish buffet and the hamburger buns are fresh and bakery made, not factory made. Servings are very generous. Will go ack often.

    Been coming here for breakfast since the early-70's. Great grilled ham and hashbrowns, and good scrambled eggs, too. Pancakes are large and tasty. Staff is generally friendly and quick; Deb, who has worked there for many, many years, is the best. Highly recommended for breakfast (I have never eaten lunch or dinner there, but they may be equally good).

    Wow...the first time I've eaten here in years and the portions are just as big as I remember! My pork chops weren't the greatest, but it's a cafe, not a steakhouse! My girlfriend got an omelette the size of a frisbee with blew my mind, and the hashbrowns were amazing! Totally recommend The Lake Cafe, especially on hangover mornings! :)
