Lakeside Inn — Restaurant in Laona Township

This place has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots—whether I’m craving a big, satisfying breakfast, a laid-back lunch, or a delicious dinner with a drink in hand. The menu is impressive and versatile, with something for everyone at any time of day.

Breakfast is top-tier: fresh, flavorful, and served all day (which is a huge win in my book!). The lunch and dinner options are just as good—hearty, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place where you can grab pancakes and a mimosa in the morning, a burger and beer for lunch, or unwind with a great dinner and cocktail in the evening.

The service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is welcoming—whether you’re flying solo, meeting friends, or bringing the whole family. And having the option to enjoy a drink with your meal? That’s just the cherry on top.

Great food, great drinks, and great vibes all day long....

Probably the only restaurant that charges .99 for a extra clean plate and .99 for any sauce that would normally accompany the dish. Food is appalling that usually gives you diarrhea for the next six hours. It has taken them up to one hour and a half to serve our food without an apology or a care but it was one hour and a half without stomach cramps and frequent bathroom trips which is the only plus side. During our visit some of the locals were referring to them as “shitside” and informed us of impending colon problems. Our money is and will continue to go to other establishments that take pride in their food and know what customer service...

The biscuits and gravy was very good. The sausage links seemed like they were reheated. Kind of dry. The staff were friendly and attentive. The last thing that I will say was that it was difficult to have a discussion. The acoustics of the dining room bounce the sound around. They should really install some sound baffles to absorb the talking and laughing. There is a great opportunity at this location. All these homes right across the street and just down the road. Spend some money on the quality of the food and people will come. Make up the cost increase with volume...
