Here, breakfast isn't just a meal—it’s a celebration of hearty, home-cooked flavors served with genuine Midwestern hospitality.

Their Stuffed French Toast is a standout—thick, golden slices generously filled and kissed with just the right amount of sweetness, offering a perfect balance of fluffiness and rich flavor.

Mexican-inspired dishes, such as the Wet Burrito and Quesadilla, bring a zesty kick to the menu, with generous portions ensuring that every meal is a fulfilling experience.

Diners consistently applaud the restaurant’s attention to detail in classic breakfast staples—fluffy Scrambled Eggs, crisp Hash Browns smothered in savory sausage gravy, and thick-cut Bacon that boasts perfect crispness. Pair these delights with a cup of their reliable Hot Chocolate or homemade iced cinnamon roll, and it’s easy to see why Lakeside Inn is a weekend favorite for families.

    It's your basic small town diner. I was there on Tuesday noon and the service seemed a little slow, but the food came out very rapidly once I got a menu and was able to order. I got a fish basket. The fries were excellent. The fish was good. I upgraded to a garden salad for another dollar and it was OK. If I was going by, I'd stop and eat again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

    Oh my goodness, not a thing to complain about. We both had the country fried dinners, everything tasted homemade and so so good. Waitress was great and she kept checking to make sure everything was okay. It was better then okay, it was delicious. Our first time but it definitely won't be the last.
