Tall Town Café & Bakery — Restaurant in Lakeview

July 14 2019 breakfast. We bought a slice of apple and a slice of cherry pie $4. each the day before. Not certain if it was a frozen pie or just frozen crust and canned filling but you could taste the corn syrup. Not very good pie at all. We went back for breakfast today because I loved the ambiance and wanted to taste something freshly prepared. I ordered spring spinach omelette $8.95 and he ordered the BMP omelette $8.95. Did I say what a nice job they did on the decor?  So both omelettes had great flavor the problem is they were cooked in way too much oil/fat The outside was slathered in fat. We each received 1 slice of sourdough bread cut in half for our toast so two "pieces" but only 1 slice of bread... first time we have not recvd. two pieces of bread.  Each omelette came with  hashbrowns drenched in oil (image included). I couldn't eat mine, he slurped his down. They looked crunchy but were not due to the drenching of the oil. The coffee was typical diner coffee. The service was outstanding 5+ stars. The entire facility is very clean and the ladies bathroom immaculate 5+ stars! I am giving a thoughtful review because we really did love the ambiance and the flavors are there the cook just needs to cook the food with a little higher heat and whole lot less oil/fat! Food 3 stars as typical diner food but the food could easily be FIVE stars if it wasn't so greasy! Oh and 2 full pieces of toast is typical this place the exception... give us a second piece of toast, please. Four stars is high but the cleanliness, service and ambiance felt like 4 stars. Hopefully they lighten up on...

Went here with my family while visiting Lakeview. I have been here before and the food is ok. My mom ordered the “TAB” sandwich. When she got the sandwich and started eating it she immediately said something was wrong. The cheese smelled very ripe and was sour. She told the waitress when she came by and the waitress very loudly yelled to the cook that he needed to come talk to my mom about it! Strike one in my book. The cook came out, chatted with my mom and in the course of the chat even admitted that he noticed the cheese smelled a little ripe! It was mozzarella by the way which is not a sour cheese. Strike 2. They offered something else but my mom didn’t want anything. The waitress was then very loudly, (whole restaurant could hear), saying how no one had ever complained about the food here and it was not his fault. I think it was very unprofessional and rude. Very unnecessary and poorly handled situation. Strike 3. I will not go back here, we were embarrassed and humiliated. Worst customer...

Lakeview is not a world class city. But like most post peak America it is trying to hold on to a bit of pride that heavy resource extraction brought it. The detrimental food stuffs that have created the obesity and diabetes that are epidemic now can be found here. This might sound like a put down but quite to the contrary it is just a sad observation. I had biscuits and gravy and thoroughly enjoyed them. The service and surroundings were perfect. I even bought a $10 souvenir tall guy wielding a six shooter coffee cup to honor and recall the experience. Travel in the desert towns of the west has its own distinctive cuisine and requires a lowered sense of quality to truly appreciate. Good luck, hang in there until your healthy diet...
