Food came out at 10:10- 40 minutes is way too long. We left at 10:41. Other local breakfast spots, we are usually in and out with 40 minutes on the outside. First, take names. We came in and the greeter said I will remember, but she was also busing tables so when a table opened up another employee had to ask who was next. Seems like employees have multiple jobs but they do not have a rhythm and more importantly they are not working effectively. There also seems to be no sign of management or the owner. As a new business, be present, check in, greet your customers and if you need to be someplace else designate someone on your behalf. People are much more forgiving when they have a face and are personally welcomed. State your issues before someone complains, like the two table near us. Example: "Welcome, we are so happy to have you. I am owner/manager. We are running a little slow in the kitchen we are still in our infancy stage but we hope you enjoy your meal. Please let me know if you need anything." There was nothing special or unique about the food or service that would make me say you have to try the Lakemoor Diner. Good, solid breakfast restaurants are needed in this area so I hope they work out their kinks. With how long the wait was between sitting and being served they needed to have soft music in the background. Not only were other customers visibly frustrated, but we could hear conversations and complaints. It became uncomfortably quiet at times. As we walked out, they had many people waiting and as they looked around they saw a lot of empty tables with dishes. Finished plates sat in front of customers with no one clearing or checking in if everything was ok, but there was a lot of staff walking around seemingly without purpose. I'd give a 1 if they were not brand new, but I'll give a 3 based on the food being served hot and the staff was very nice.
