Excellent Cafe - excellent service and food!
Great, fast and friendly service. Good food. Ample outdoor seating.
Good chicken fried steak. Service great.
Best Chicken Fried Chicken sandwich I have had in a long time!!
On my short list of must-go places to eat in Lake City! The coffee is perfect and I loved the breakfast options in the morning, then went back for dinner for amazing chicken and waffles! All this coupled with some of the friendliest staff you’ll run into make Lake City Cafe the best!
Very good food. Everything is prepared fresh and in house. Pork tenderloin and fried green tomatoes looked amazing. Grilled chicken sandwich was delicious!
We stopped in while exploring Lake City as there aren't too many options in town. They have an expansive patio with great views of town and the mountains. We ate here for lunch and everything everyone had was fantastic! The chicken tenders were seriously life-changing, they were so juicy, yet crispy and the batter had phenomenal flavor! These were some of the best tendies I've ever had and you get 6 of them for less than $10. Apparently everything is made in-house except for the fries and buns. We spoke to the owner/manager and he was really friendly. The servers were incredibly kind and super helpful, some of the best service we received out of all the spots we visited in Lake City, Creede, etc. The food here is outstanding, the people are kind, and I'd def recommend everyone to stop in and grab a bite!
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!
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!
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.
The food is amazing and the patio is so enjoyable.
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.
Fantastic food (you gotta try the pork tenderloin sandwich). Friendly staff and solid customer service. Great environment. Top of our list next time we’re in Lake City.
The food was delicious.. best green bean side dish ever ! Chester is an amazing chef !!! And we loved our chat with him ! Go Big Red !
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 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.
Best coffee in town and very good breakfast sandwiches. This is our go to place when we’re in town.
Friendly place! Greated by name by the sheriff when we walked in (not our names, unfortunately:) ). Heard some grumbling in the kitchen (we walked in 15 minutes before they closed for the afternoon at 2pm), but food was amazing. Absolutely would stop there again.
THE PRICES ARE EXTREMELY HIGH AND THEN THEY RIP YOU OFF ON A SO CALLED TAX. We camped in Lake City and went to Lake City Cafe for coffee and breakfast. The owner charged us 33.4% tax. The sales tax according to the city is 6-7.1%. Find a better option.
Great food and service.
