Two of us had different burgers (Roadhouse and Santa Fe)--both were done exactly as we ordered and very flavorful. Others in our group had the country-fried steak and the Wisco sandwich--very good! We finished the meal with the Badger Buns which were just a little unique and delicious. Service was excellent--Friendly, helpful and efficient. Great place!

The sandwich was plain just bread and beef. But honestly the meat was good enough it was fine. Wife had hamburger steak. Cooked perfect tasted great. Kids had cheese burgers. A bit expensive for a kids meal but great burgers. The fries were delicious. Perfectly cooked crisp on the outside and creamy inside. We also order a side of broccoli. It appeared to be fresh steamed. It was great. None of the food had much salt which is preferred for us. We added just what we wanted. The salad bar was small but good. Not much fixings for the lettuce but a large selection of pasta salads. (And each was different.) and a fruit salad too. It was a Monday so only one person working the bar and restaurant but she did ok keeping up. Would definitely eat here again

The broasted chicken was also pretty good. The fries were very soft and some of the best I've ever had. I could barely taste my toast with all the butter on it. The popcorn machine had no popcorn in it. The service was fine other than the fact that the waiter came by 5 times after I finished my cheerily temple and didn't even ask if I wanted a refill once. Good food.

Went for a drive on a Saturday morning and ended up at Lakeview restaurant for breakfast. We…read moreordered typical northern-midwest breakfast including eggs, sausage, pancake, hashbrowns and toast. It took a little longer than expected to get our food but the over-easy eggs were fine and the pancake was excellent. The toast was toward the burnt side which happens to be how we like it, although not ordered that way. The hashbrowns appeared to originate from frozen, not fresh but that is typical for the area. The restaurant is connected to a convenience store that operates a doorbell each time the door is opened. If you can put up with frequent 'ding-dong' during your meal it won't bother you. The bathrooms are quite small, one-person only, which is odd because the restaurant also contains a bar. Prices were a little high for a typcial breakfast diner but Lakeview is in a tourist-oriented area so they charge a little more. The wait staff was friendly and appeared to check back with customers frequently. I would go there again.

The prices were more than fair, the place was nicely decorated, clean and tidy, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was better than anything within 55 miles of the Goodwill parking lot. We tried several menu items and different sauces, not one disappointed. It was so good the next 4 date nights found us at the same table. Along the way the menu expanded even more! Guess we will just have to keep going back.

Ray's Corner 1977- 1980 Great bar, quite, no women, maybe…read moreone or two on occasion, I think I took my wife there. Opened early 8 or so in the morning. Right behind the bar was the magazine rack. You did not have to leave your stool to retrieve a questionable magazine. Early in the morning there was a older man sitting by the front window reading the newspaper. Usually the news paper was upside down. Another older couple frequented the place and were known as Mr and Mrs America. Our group included Ivan Stotz, Dick Hessey, Jamie Liable, Dave Maegar and myself, Doug Mofle. Only one bathroom at that time and I remember finding a deer head in the sink.. We usually pulled in about 3 in the afternoon. Love the Bar Doug Mofle
