Lake City Cafe

Great food. Service very friendly. As good a Chicken fried steak as you will find anywhere. The Egg rolls are incredible also. Ask for the green beans as they are also simply wonderful. Chicken sandwich off the charts. Great place, Drew runs a good show!

One of the best Chicken Fried Steaks i have EVER had, and i was born and raised in West Texas. Everything was homemade, and tasted amazing.

They also had, without a shadow of a doubt, the best mac and cheese me and my wife had ever had. If you are going to Lake City, or anywhere within 100 miles, you HAVE to try this place out.

The owner was a very nice and kind person as well. He took the time to introduce himself, congradulated us on our wedding, and then left us to enjoy our meal. 10/10.

My wife and I were looking for a good meal and a beer on a Wednesday afternoon right in the middle of July.
There are not many choices for restaurants in Lake City, but we thought that the Lake City Cafe looked appealing. They were very busy, so we decided to eat at the bar. We sat down and said hello to a very nice man with a grey beard and coveralls who was at the bar….it turns out that he was the manager or owner.
We sat for about five minutes as the wait staff were bringing meals to those seated, and those at the bar. No one said a word to us, but we chalked it up the the busyness. A waitress asked if we wanted menus, and we said yes as she hurried away without giving us one. Another five minutes, no menus or offers for drinks. My wife walked to the end of the bar and grabbed a menu. We read the menu, and sat for another ten minutes. Wait staff looked at us but never said a word. 3 people at the bar finished their meals. The gentleman in the coveralls whom we had sat next to over twenty-five minutes before, walked back and forth between the bar and the kitchen and said nothing.
It was at or about the thirty minute mark that we looked at each other and confirmed that this was really happening. So we left.
*On a positive note. The food looked and smelled amazing!

Fantastic service and the food was delicious. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were interesting and tasted great. I have the chicken fried steak with green beans everything was freshly prepared. There were options to sit inside or out on the patio but since it was warm that day we opted for the AC indoors.

We've had 3 meals here in the last month and let me say we love the food here. I had probably the best chicken fried chicken I've ever had!!! Oh let's not forget the green beans 😋. We will be back again without question! If you're in town give them a try you won't regret it!!

We found this place by word of mouth, since we were just spending a night in Lake City, and out of season. Very good food here, a step above the usual diner or food service food. BBQ was excellent and perfectly prepared, with a nice, toasted brioche bun. It's said to be smoked on the premises. Chicken & gravy was very good. Reasonable prices, too. With craft beers on tap, and a coffee shop adjacent to the cafe, they have everything a traveler needs.

Great ride from Silverton by OHV. They r OHV friendly. Place to get gas and food. Great view just outside of town.

We hit the cafe for lunch while doing the Alpine Loop. The food was excellent and the service was great! We even met the owner who’s a huge dog lover! We will definitely be coming back.

Very good food. Everything is prepared fresh and in house. Pork tenderloin and fried green tomatoes looked amazing. Grilled chicken sandwich was delicious!

Incredible food. All fresh and homemade. We had the chicken fried steak, tomato soup, and Gumbo. All were among the best I've ever had. The Tomato soup in particular was amazing. Would definitely eat here when passing through again. Maybe even worth a trip just to eat here!
