This place is fantastic. I go here about once a month and have never had anything I didn't like. I highly recommend the fried chicken livers and fried squash. Y'all!!! They hand bread the fresh fried squash. No matter what I order that is always one of my sides read more

Enjoyed eating here. Have smoking and non-smoking. Non-smoking PLEASE! Service was quick and attentive. Waitress had a nice smile and wore a loud sparkle belt buckle with a lot of bling to it. Enjoyed the garden omelet, home fries and wheat toast. Very reasonably priced. Probably wont ever get a Michilen star, but gets 5 stars for what I needed. read more

Came in told them I hadn't been there before. They told me to sit down anywhere. Then another group came a few minutes behind me. The same waitress that saw me sit down did not come to my table but served the group that came in after me. Left me sitting there so I left. I guess they don't want new customers. I won't be going back. read more

I have been to this establishment many times but it seems yesterday it was off. New cook perhaps? My husband's home fries were still raw, his sausage was a pale gray color, and my mother's hamburger was still raw in the middle. It took almost an hour to get our food. The waitress would completely ignore us because she was guaranteed a 20% tip from all of us at the table due to our party of 8, whereas the smaller tables she had to work and be nice for her tip. I was really let down because I honestly have always enjoyed their breakfast and homemade onion rings. I can't say if I will return or not and if I do choose to return I will have my family spread out into two tables where the waitress is not guaranteed a tip and feels compelled to make our visit a decent one. read more

The breakfast was fantastic! I had biscuits and gravy! Best biscuits in town. The service was great and so was the atmosphere.

Everything was good, we really like this place, service is good and the food is great. I had combo fajitas and it was amazing and plenty leftover for dinner. My husband had the 1/2 lb cheeseburger with onion rings and he ate every single bite. We've been here probably 6 times now and it's always pretty good. Wish I remembered my waitresses name, but she was really sweet and always seemed to come by when we needed something. read more

Lakeside Cafe easy to find plenty of parking lots of customers super nice efficient staff. BUTT THE CIGARETTE SMELL FROM THE BAR yucks! Must remove ashtrays that aren't in use and clean them. Must address the leaking beverage frig by restrooms as huge liability for falls. Beautiful dining area, outside plants amazing. Thank you for making these improvements with ashtrays and cig smell. read more

Food was okay, Some things were definitely better than the others but I mean we payed 51$ for a full meal for four people, It's a bar and grill, what are you expecting? (Issues were just small things, fries slightly undercooked, salad to watery, etc) The restaurant was really comfortable and i genuinely enjoyed the smoking and non smoking side, it smelled fine on both sides. Staff was great, Wish I could've tipped more. read more

Overall, Lakeside Cafe is what one would expect for small-town cafe! The service was good - when we arrived, the hostess informed us off the bat they were short staffed and running slow. We appreciated the warning, and asked to be seated anyway. We were still able to get in and out within about an hour. There is both a smoking and non-smoking sections to the restaurant indoors. The breakfast was good. The Philly steak omelette and potatoes was a little too greasy for our taste but still quite good. The huevos con fajita was a very solid breakfast option. read more

This place smells like a cigarette tray. Seriously it's bad. And the food is sub par at best

My dad has told me all about this place. I've always wanted to try it. Here we are on a Saturday night at 7:45 trying to get some grub. I walk in through the doors and I am immediately told that they are closed. I ask why? They are supposed to close at 9:00 on Saturdays. They said "nobody else came in" and I stormed off, still hungry. Don't go out of your way to give your hopes up. I personally have never dealt with something as unprofessional as what I've experienced today. Go or don't go, I don't care. I just can't guarantee that they will be open when they are supposed to during Norma business hours. read more

This is a cafe and bar with a smoking section. The smell was very faint for our brunch visit. Biscuits and gravy were excellent. They put the eggs on the biscuits before adding gravy though, I would ask for the eggs to be separate if ordering again. The coffee was burnt but the OJ was good as was the mimosa. Hashbrowns were good, I'd compare them to waffle house. read more

The cigarette smoke was horrible. Food was ok but nothing you can't make at home. Just don't have high expectations from the other high reviews, those have to be friends and family. read more

My wife LOVES their grilled fish, either Catfish and Talapia. They grill the catfish by request, otherwise it's deep-fried. Daily Specials include the entree with two vegetable sides, a drink and desert for under $9. As for me, I feel their Menudo is the best I've found so far in the Cedar Creek Lake area. We eat there 1-2 times a week. One side of the restaurant is for smokers though, if that's an issue. But the bar seperates the two sides so I never notice any smoke. read more

First time to Lakeside Cafe. Great food and people. What more do you need. Came all the way over from tool for a good lunch... worth it!

Roz is the rock of this place! Dependable good home cooking. Very decent pricing. We are their weekly

Much improved over former location. Better atmosphere, much better food, better service. Now with full bar. Chips are not oily. Salsa is just chunky enough, vinegary like I like it. Big portions. The specials are a bargain! Thursday night is Karaoke night. read more

This restaurant allows smoking INSIDE the restaurant. We walked in for breakfast with our masks on (due to covid) and the cigarette smoke still hit us like a ton of brick. There were literally patrons of the restaurant smoking at their tables. No ventilation. We promptly turned and walked out. read more

Food average for a diner, service very slow. Lots of frozen food. Not terrible but no reason to come back again.

I can't believe the reviews for this place were decent. 1). Stinks of smoke. Half the restaurant is smoking, half is non smoking 2) the queso sauce was Mexican Velveeta 3) refried beans were canned and rice was instant 4) I'm giving it two stars because the waitress provided good service, was pleasant and nice. If you like cheap eats that are cheaply made this place is for you. Probably a good place for a beer and a game of pool if you are a smoker read more

Honestly very upset to give 2 stars. On multiple occasions within an hour of them closing they start not only not answering but they flat out start declining the call on the first or second ring. If they don't take orders after a certain time the least that could be done is the phone be answered and they explain that. Very unprofessional. read more

Great friendly service...Fresh food...Reasonable priced entrees...Certainly will be regular customer...

I love this place. They have great mimosas and coffee!! A lot of people complain about cigarette smoke, but that's just kind of how it is down here. You barely notice when you're stuffing your face anyway with delicious chilaquiles and homestyle breakfast!! read more

I stopped to eat here once, Thought it wild be good as it always seems to be very busy. But I was disappointed... I ordered some breakfast tacos and they were horrid... Like runny porridge with cold cuts chopped up and mushed into them... The tortilla was the only edible thing on the table. Yet every time I drive by its still packed, I think it is the place the retirement community (all the people with no teeth or taste buds) must go to eat. Maybe I went on a "off/bad" day but I'm not going back to find out. read more

This is primarily Mexican food, but the traditional American breakfast was delicious -- very well prepared. The service was very quick and the restaurant clean and quiet. All in all a good breakfast place read more

One of my go-to restaurants when I'm visiting friends at Cedar Creek Lake. Friendly staff, great home cooked food, and a pleasant atmosphere. I've been here for the weekend breakfast buffet, which has great made to order omelets and other traditional breakfast items. Lunch and dinner is always good as well, and they have a fully stocked bar. Their Mexican dishes are delicious; especially the enchiladas and fajitas. read more

If you are sensitive to smoke then might want to rethink coming here (or come early morning). The smoking and non-smoking section is divided by 20 feet of air. Decor is non-existent. The service was great. The food came out quick. Hubby was pleasantly surprised of the quality of his hamburger and fries. I had the breakfast buffet there is an omelet station with someone ready to make whatever kind of omelet you want. My veggie omelette was very good with fresh veggies. Breakfast is served all day. Great prices. Think this place would be fun in the evening. Lots of locals, a bar and three pool tables. read more

Varied menu of tex-mex, catfish and other items. Good food at reasonable prices. Great omelettes in the AM and a chef custom-makes them for you on Sunday morning. Smoking and no smoking areas and this works well. read more

Our first time here and we were so disappointed. FYI it's a smoking/non-smoking restaurant so if you are bothered by smoke smell it might not be for you. We were sat by the hostess who spoke little English. She also took our order. After 40 minutes our order still hadn't come out but others around us that came in after us had. We tried to talk to the hostess/waitress but she didn't understand us. We overheard the table behind us complaining that they ordered liver and onions and got chicken fried steak, the waitress said it's ok just eat it, ( in broken English, I don't think she understood). Another waitress came over to that table and said that the other waitress didn't understand and asked what happened. The patron told her, but it had been too long and decided too just keep the food. Us, still no food and no refill on our coffees. We left $5.00 on the table and left. Too bad. We always saw a lot of cars there, we are new here, and thought we found a great breakfast place. The food is probably awesome but unless they get better staff we won't be going back. read more

My dad goes here every Saturday morning for breakfast. I had company in town so we joined him. Atmosphere is not appealing but the service and food was excellent . The smoking section does bother no smokers but other than that it was good. read more

went in about 10:30 this Sunday morning and had to remind waitress for chips and salsa once we got our food, my husband got beef fajitas and said his beans and rice tasted from a can then once we were done eating the waitress came back to ask how it was and we didn't want to complain our first time eating there then about 20 minutes later we had to ask another lady for our check and the restaurant was not busy enough that she had to be so little attentive :-( won't go back spent $30.00 for two OK meals and poor service read more
