I parked here for the night, and I wanted to get in the diner before they closed because I saw good reviews, so I'm mosier on in for some supper. They serve breakfast all day and night, well when they're open, but I opted for a chop steak and mashed potatoes with the side salad. The chop steak was HUGE! And the mashed potatoes? Out of a box? No sir-ee bob! REAL mashed potatoes, and according to my server, it was her "gramma's secret recipe". Boy were they good. My server was super sweet and super nice and checked on me while I was there. Everything came out hot and fast. Glad I stopped here for the night, and I'm glad I ate here. I wish I could have breakfast at this place in the morning, but I'll be gone before they even open. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

A waitress came over and wiped our table down because it was a little dirty. She then took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks we were ready to order. I ordered the Taco Salad special with no beans or guacamole, and a side of Beef Vegetable soup. My friend ordered the BLT. We got to look around while we waited. There's a lot of antiques on the wall. Along with art and photographs. Nice atmosphere. Our order arrived around 15 minutes later. The soup was excellent! Taco salad was on par for taco salad. My friend said his BLT was good, and boy did he scarf it down! The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. I commented I really liked the soup when paying and was told they've been making it for over 40 years. Well, don't change it!

Would love to go back and try an actual dinner. Salmon/ prime rib-etc Good food- A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Really good portions.

I just recently moved to Columbia City and was looking for local restaurants to try with a friend…read morefor a lunch date and we decided to try this place first. I didn't take any pictures but I'll go over the positives. The staff was super friendly, the food was quite good. I tried the bacon, turkey, and apple grilled cheese, I can't remember what sandwich my friend had. Both came with a bag of chips and she had coffee. And we enjoyed the cozy, quiet atmosphere. We also decided to take one 1 bar of fudge each. I choose a birthday cake one and she took home a peanut butter one. As for the negatives I would say this. The limited operating hours doesn't help alot of people. They are closed after 3 so dinner is out. The menu is very limited. Basically a soup and sandwiches type of place. And since it's connected to a used furniture and antique the decor and atmosphere might not be for everyone. And some might scoff at the price tag of $10 for just a sandwich and bag of chips. But all in all, I like having a quiet time with a good friend and some simple food in a cozy place. I'd like a little more food, but it's not a deal breaker. We'll be back sometime.

Maybe next time you drive through Taco Bell and are craving coffee, you'll also give them a poor review?? Bad reviews on yelp drive business away from deserving establishments.

I personally live in New York City but am originally from the Midwest and my parents have a lake house in Kendallville. I stop into Five Lakes every single day of my visits with them. I'm so delighted to have a great option for an iced coffee that isn't Starbucks or McDonalds. The service is always fast and everyone that works there are always very warm and friendly.
