Food was good, however I saw my waitress twice, once to take my order and once when she delivered my food. Oh, wait, she returned a third time to take the sundries from my table for another table. No coffee warmups, no how's your food, no bill service, had to go to the counter to pay my bill, where I was rudely interrupted by a Door Dash Delivery Driver. Service needs to improve a waitress needs to pay attention to all her customers. I rarely not leave a tip, this was one of those rare occasions. I'm unsure how many owners Renee's is on since the original owner owned it, but I for one as a Lake County Native won't be back. Which is sad, because I love the outdoor dining, and indoor was way too hot. read more

We were pleased to find this little restaurant when staying in Lakeport. We enjoyed their Sunshine Sandwich which was very good and appropriate for splitting. It is a scrambled egg recipe served atop two halves of an English muffin. The restaurant is clean, the servers welcoming and parking is easy. read more

Took the family here for dinner and was not impressed at all. Got the hot roast beef dinner and the gravy tasted burnt McCormick powdered gravy, mashed potatoes had no flavoring, and meat was dry. My kids had the burgers and spaghetti and didn't even attempt to finish the first half of there burgers and my youngest resulted to eating her noodles individually to try to eat her food. Fries and tenders definitely came out of a box and just reheated. Service was good but the waiter forgot to bring my soup, probably for the better. Unfortunately we will not be stopping by again.. read more

I recently went there for lunch. We ordered a tuna sandwhich and vegetarian sandwhich . We also got a mint shake and berry shake. We came there as we heard they had 15 different shakes were delicious. The food was great ... I loved the quotes on the wall. The artwork was beautiful on the wall. They had a centerpiece which was a rock garden . Very nice. Later that night about 9 pm and needed to use the restroom. I was so delighted that the manager opened the restroom so I could use it. This is top the service from top to bottom. read more

Had server Neisa, and she was absolutely wonderful! We had two kids under 5 and she was very attentive to their needs so us parents and grandparents can enjoy a nice meal. Always a go to spot for this family when we need a burger! read more

Since the change of hands and the price increase, the old servers left, this place that used to be a local diner has turned into a shit-show. A pleasant burger and shake shack has now postured itself as a high end eatery. It is not an affordable night out or luncheon for the retired patrons. The false advertising throughout the menu as "flame broiled" is a LIE! They have a flat top. Please boycott this sham and close them down. Teenagers can't afford a burger and fries. Let's show support for our community! read more

Server never checked up on us one time and it wasn't even busy. There were children sitting next to us and got food and they were quiet and respectful and asked for water and 10 min later and they never were helped only ignored. read more

This is a small town diner - so let's be realistic with the reviews. I brought my dad here to grab dinner and he's been in this areas for 30 years and had never been. We saw they had a great menu and decided to go for it. First, the staff, so attentive and amazing. They were friendly and so kind to my elderly father. They made sure the temperature of the whole restaurant didn't make him uncomfortable and made sure his food was perfect toy the way he liked it. The food was actually decent- dad had the chicken gumbo (which as Southerners didn't see this as gumbo, more of a chicken spicy/hot soup) still tasty, dad finished it. He had a ground steak which was cooked perfectly and covered in gravy. His only feedback was the mushrooms were chewy. I had the fish and chips, great fries, nice fish but the house tartar sauce was the star of the show! Overall- it's totally a great place to grab a meal after a day at the lake or driving through or for a family meal. read more

Always dependably good service and nice people. Menu is just as bland as ever with nothing to really get excited about. You could walk into any flyover state diner and have the same meal. As I said before, dependable when you don't want Thai, Mexican, Indian, or upscale downtown, this is your place! read more

Busy. Good variety of offerings. Quant to sit at outside or inside. Interesting decor.

I got lunch instead of the usual breakfast today! The burger was delicious and huge and that chipotle sauce they gave me on the side was so good with a lil smokiness. Went for the upgraded fries and they were well made. $4 for anything not reg fries but at least they tasted good! Overall party good. The staff is the best here, always nice, always quick and just give the place a great vibe. read more

Amazing server this morning and the food was delicious. Always clean restaurant and polite service by staff..

We know we will always have a great meal here. They have the largest menu selection in Lakeport. Everything is fresh, delicious and huge portions. We just ordered 2 salads (chicken oriental and bbq chicken) to go and they were fabulous. read more

Really good food and quick service. Go to breakfast restaurant in Lakeport. Omelettes are so delicious.

Wait staff was friendly. Breakfast took 40 minutes to get and the restaurant was only 1/3 full if that. Benedict had potential but one egg was too cooked and the other too suspiciously runny. Overall both our meals were lukewarm. read more

Excellent breakfast food and good service by friendly servers. We will definitely return! Convenient location. read more

I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and Rennee's definitely deserves credit. Since retiring and moving back to Lake County, it's absolutely fabulous to have RENEE'S who deliver quality, delicious, mouth-watering entrees. With a menu that offers an array of different items to accommodate anyones pallet. We haven't been disappointed yet and now bring our friends and family visiting here, which means we're here often. Their daily soup has us dropping in just for a bowl. The patio and intimate back park like seating makes it perfect to bring our furbaby:) The staff are attentive, with positive energy to actually serve you. read more

Twice I have been, to Renee Cafe both time ,my eggs were not cook to my order. And they were like rubber . No runny yolk at all . Over medium means white not runny and yolk runny . read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The service was kind of slow. It took forever to get our food. The food was kinda cold by time we got our food, but it was still good. read more

Came here last night at closing. It was a couple minutes past 8:00. Having been a regular patron and experienced great service, but the new owner,Danny was extremely kind. Michelle, the waitress told me that she could whip up a salad to go. Totally my bad for rolling in late. Told her that I was starving for a Club sandwich, to which the owner,Danny replied, come on in and sit down and eat. We'll be here for a little longer before leaving. How nice!! I don't know what previous reviews are all about, but leave politics OUT OF IT. If you can't afford the price, go to McDonald's or whatever cheap ass place you prefer. Great service,above average quality food and great staff. You get what you pay for. Just had breakfast this morning. Super good!! read more

Loved the French dip and crispy chicken club sandwich so much that I dragged my fiancé to go there again the next morning! I will be dreaming about the chicken club sandwich! Loved that we could just sit at any table right away! read more

I am giving a one star for the service we received and the attitude of the owner. We ordered one dish and they brought another that was similar which my partner thought was just their variation on the dish. In addition they offered a list of sides with the dish without pointing out the some of the sides added $4 to the bill. When we requested that our bill be adjusted the manager/owner came over and accused my partner of having eaten the dish and suggested he should have noted what was on the menu about the upcharge for the soup when we are new to the restaurant, didn't notice it and weren't looking at the menu while we were ordering. His attitude was basically that I am right and the customer is wrong. When I pointed out that that good service recovery principles assumes the customer is always right and that it will create better good will and customer retention he gave in and refunded our bill. However by then I was so offended by his attitude and treatment that I decided to never eat in his restaurant again. His loss not ours since the food was only mediocre at best anyway. read more

I went with a friend for lunch on a weekday. Good, friendly service. We ate outside. I had the country skillet. It was delicious and very large portion. I took home most of my meal and it made 3 more meals for me. My friend told me Renee's has the best fries & requested chili fries (we didn't see them on the menu). The server said "of course we can make them for you". We appreciated that. Hers was also a large portion. I sampled some and they were very good. read more

5/22/2022 - Stopped in with friends to have breakfast, met up with some friends who had already dined and were leaving. This place was suggested to us by friends who come up here every year for a fishing trip and I have friends who just moved up here too. My breakfast was heavenly!!! I ordered the taco omelette which consisted of a hamburger patty, spicy salsa, sour cream & cheese. I asked for avocado which is an extra charge. I paired my omelette with hash browns which were hot of the grill and a biscuit. They had jams & jellies on the table, but brought other condiments to you. They kept the coffee cups full so your coffee was never cold. My group was raving about their breakfast every one was satisfied!!! My cousin & I shared a table and her bacon, sausage and cheese omelette with hash browns and pancake total was $38.00. That was a very, very good breakfast with very good attentive service. We were able to enjoy a ride around the beautiful lake and had a safe trip home. This made a very beautiful weekend for us!!! read more

The food at Renee's is OK borderline ick. The service is spotty. The ambience doesn't exist. It feels like a very old diner that is stuck in the in the decade it was built. It's a disappointment and a pass. Their crew is turning over often as there are always advertising positions. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Renee's for dinner Had the Hot Turkey and the Mrs. had the Honey dip Chicken. The salad was so so fresh that we both ate them clean. The chicken was great very different, just a little bit dry. The turkey sandwich was excellent. The gravy was very tasty. Everyone around us seemed to enjoy their food as well. We'll definitely revisit next time we visit the area. read more

I'm still getting used to restaurant prices since the Bidenflation began a few years back. As long as we have to pay this much, getting good food is important. I can always rely on a meal at Renee's being delicious and filling. Went again Friday and sat outside with 6 of us. Each person said they enjoyed their meal, especially the wonderful all natural milkshakes... Not cheap, but not complaining! read more

Best place for out of towners while visiting Lakeport! The restaurant was about to close, and the owner made us feel welcomed as the staff was cleaning the kitchen. We asked for our food TO GO, and she accommodated without hesitation, and with a Smile! Excellent service, great staff, and perfect food! Thank you! read more

Service sucks. Waited 20 min to say they didn't have enough menus so we had to look the menus up on our phone. The server guy doesn't even acknowledge us I had to ask. And it's now been 30 min and they haven't taken our order. Hands down sucks read more

Great place for breakfast & the service is always the best! Love the name too. Maybe because my name is Renee'

A simple old fashioned diner type of restaurant with reliable home cooked fare. The side salad is a very generous serving of mixed greens with a great variety of toppings. Burgers are yummy. Club sandwich is perfect. Everything was good and fresh! A great value and will visit again. read more
