The Lake Cafe

Very disappointed this AM with service here. Daughter & husband came from Brainerd to take us to breakfast, we recommened Lake Cafe -- food was served one plate at a time, serving others at other tables between our orders. The last one came after the first one was near...ly finished eating. Eggs were not hot, some bacon cooked too much, some not enough. Waitress indifferent. Plates not attractive. Probably won't go back. Read More

working at monticellow power plant, Big Lake Cafe (restaurant) has good food, reasonable prices, salad bar, buffet starting at 5 weekdays, very pleasant waitresses and good background music. No other place within 15 miles beats the service.

Excellent service and food! Drove thru on or way to the lakes and glad we stopped. Pancake was huge and tasty, eggs , bacon were great too. Hashbrowns were avg but evrything else made up for it.

We have been stopping at the Big Lake Cafe for breakfast on our way to and from northern Minnesota for almost 40 years. The food is very good (hash browns are incredible!), the prices reasonable, and the service is friendly and prompt. Highly recommended!
