What a great place to grab some food. Friendly as can be. I really should stop in more often the biscuits and gravy were great the French toast was awesome.

Stopped in for breakfast on our way home from Chicago. A little out of the way if you’re traveling I-90, but worth it. A perfect Midwest breakfast diner with great service.

I really enjoy coming to Great Lakes Cafe! Not only is there food amazing…that bang bang chicken and lemon rice soup this week was BOMB! But the owner Cindy has a heart of gold! Krissy was my server and she recommended items on the menu and never gets it wrong. Thank you ladies!

Cindy and her staff are extemely welcoming and hospitable. The food was excellent and served fast. Make sure to try the biscuits and gravy. It's off the beaten path, but definitely worth it.

Great food, started coming here after beginning a job at the mills. Amazing place to come before work. Service is always spectacular. Prices are also very fair I get a full order of biscuits and gravy with coffee for about $11 (excluding tip)
