HE LAKE CAFE!
What a great place to eat! Tim & Tami Cox have been a pillar in this community for over 55 years! They are outstanding people to work for & treat their employees & customers with respect. Tim has been there countless times for their employees anytime one of them needed their help. Ive worked in restaurants for over 36 years & I will say that this small town cafe is one of the best places I ever worked. So if you’re looking for great food with a small town feel, stop in & see us!

Has a DELICIOUS Reuben sandwich! BEST service...non rushed.... good prices!
This was my first time coming here to eat breakfast with my family. I ordered chocolate chip pancake, and scrambled egg for my daughter and I will say she loved it!! I ordered everything omelet for my self which came with toast and hashbrowns. My husband ordered the Denver omelet and he also loved his. Over all I would recommend this place for fast service, delicious meal, and the workers are nice here . I also loved the fact that you get to choose your own seats so you don't have to wait too long. They also have all you can eat breakfast buffet and that has a lot of options as well. Definitely coming back.

My husband and I were in the area for a business trip and stopped into this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday. We walked in the side/back door and started to go to the front to be seated and were greeted on our way through the restaurant, given our seating options and possible wait time. As the restaurant was very busy with no open tables, we chose to sit at the counter. Our waitress was extremely friendly, efficient and kept up with the pace of a crowded restaurant with a smile on her face --- not an easy task as we noticed that several customers shorted or stiffed her on tips. The menu was comprehensive with a wide variety of options. The food we ordered was excellent with nice sized portions and quality ingredients. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely go back and would recommend it.

I can't believe I have lived in Big Lake all these years and have not come here until now. What a gem! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and every member of the staff that we encountered was beyond friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back!
