If you have 1.5 hours to wait for a burger, this is the place for you. If you enjoy asking for maple syrup for your pancakes, this is the place for you. If you enjoy having to ask for water repeatedly, this is the place for you. If you enjoy watching your server doing nothing majority of the time, this is the place for you. Bad service, slow, food extremely mediocre.

*Update to owner: there was no line, there was no one in the room with us. Good try though. Also, I watched our server pacing back and forth the entire time we were in there doing nothing. This experience is exactly how the first one did. Maybe instead of rudely responding to honest reviews, you should be training your employees and teaching your cooks how to make a medium burger. After all, if your going to take 60 minutes to make a burger, you should at least do it right. That brake pad I had was closer to Jerky. That bowl of slop you called soup had hard pieces in it I had to spit out. Those wings are absolutely awful. I can’t believe you would actually serve someone those overcooked with that disgusting cold sauce. Your now the third negative review I’ve ever left for a restaurant. If you actually look, you will see most are five stars. Again, nice try. Luckily it appears most of your customers are seniors so you don’t have to worry about how your...

Came here this morning with my husband and dad, it was $100. It was $26 just for drinks.(coke,milk,apple juice, 2 coffees) if you charge for refills you should post a sign or let people know before you get it. Our waitress only checked on us 1 time, we never saw her after that. Honestly can get the same food at the Lighthouse Cafe and a way better price. Even if you are looking for a beautiful place the Harbor Grill in Empire and the staff is way more attentive. The attitudes from this staff was some of the worst we’ve seen here. While we were here we saw them mess up several peoples orders while we were waiting for our table.Went here last year with my husband and it was great with a decent price, I’m not sure what happened this time around. We come to Michigan every year to salmon fish as a family trip and we all agreed this was the worst service we’ve seen in our 5 years of coming up here. I’m sorry I usually don’t write reviews but this one definitely threw...

There was just one waitress and cook for the whole place this morning. They were hopping and getting meals out hot and wonderful. VERY good breakfast!! HIGHLY PROFFESSIONAL waitress. She handled everyone with a snappy, sweet comeback. I just can't say enough for her attention to all the details. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

As always Missy does a SPECTACULAR job. The place was packed with the power company guys getting a hot breakfast. She never missed a thing. They got what they needed and so did we. The cook did a WONDERFUL job. Hot and delicious!! Keep up the great job!!

Wonderful little café that I always visit when I am close to Manistee Michigan. We'll worth the drive for one of thier skillets! Have you been here? #vanlife #travels #Michigan #Manistee

All I ordered were hash browns, extra crispy. Not terribly hard, right? This is Lakeside Cafe’s interpretation of extra crispy. The poorly cooked food was only worsened by the smell of cigarettes coming off the waitress. I suspect any sort of competition would put this cafe out of business. In Bear Lake, this is your only option for breakfast though. Bummer. Edit to add: look at that insane response. A good reflection of the service (or lack there of) you can expect to receive. Just admit you made bad hash browns and that your waitress should probably smoke after their shift. Blaming a customer is nuts and assuming you have video of something that doesn’t exist is equally nutty. Hope you guys go out of business

First time in Manistee, much different from California where I reside so I was interested in seeing the difference. It was spectacular, the service was on point as well as the food. We got greeted and sat immediately, got our drink orders out of the way and as soon as I ordered, they started cooking. I got the Country fried chicken and waffles and it was 10/10. I highly recommend this cafe for the service as well as the food. Good for groups, good for breakfast and lunch, and a great location with a view of the lake.
