East Lake Cafe

Hate to give a poor review but they need to know to figure it out better. 1st time there food was good but we were given 2 teas with 1/2 a tea bag worth of grounds/leaves covering the bottom of both glasses,(or at least that's what I'm gonna keep telling myself it was since no one bothered to say anthing just took them away) left it alone asked for water instead. No biggie, things happen. Breakfast was good so figured we try it again. 2nd time there, we sat there forever waiting on two meals 1130 am on sunday nothing fancy just a cuban and a breakfast skillet. After 2 other families who ordered after us were served first my husband said something (not rude) to a server and all he was told was they were "backed up". No offer to check on wait time just kind of an oh well attitude from what i heard, so we decided to leave. Very poor customer service today, didn't check back to see if we needed drink refills or even to just let us know there was a delay, during this wait time either. And a back up really doesn't explain why two other tables that were seated and ordered after us were served first and no one checked back on us after getting our drinks and us sitting there for well over 30-40 minutes just waiting. I will correct myself as a waitress did walk up and ask if we were waiting for our check during this time waiting and i said no we are waiting on our food and she just walked away with out another word to us. I don't think we will try it again after this experience. Hope they can improve after this feed back.

We had been wanting to try East Lake Cafe for a while. So glad we went! We didn’t wait for our table and the food came out within a reasonable time. The service was excellent and our food was hot and tasty. The western omelet was so good! I can’t think of anything to criticize about our experience.

Very disappointed. The food was bland and had an odd chemically wood taste to it . I didn’t want to complain , I paid for it and it was pricey . Now my stomach hurts . I will never ever ever go back there . The staff was nice though. I think they might need a new chef or a new way to store food? I don’t know what happened there but it was horrible.

Tucked into a quiet corner of the shopping plaza this was a good stop for us to get out of the rain. We shared a bacon waffle with two eggs over easy. Cooked perfectly and kindly served on our own plates. Waiter was a kind young lady who promptly asked how our food was and provided refills on iced tea. Thank you!

God awful experience. First visit and last visit there. Frazzled waitress, incorrect cold Benedict order, incorrect tab total I paid just to get the heck out of there. No management to even complain to.
