Lake House Cafe — Restaurant in Oconomowoc

My husband and I are regulars at this place we enjoy coming here almost once a week for breakfast I haven’t left a review but something happened which made me have to say how amazing this place is. For some background I have crippling social anxiety so it is very hard for me to confront people. I ordered my food and asked asked for 2 things to be left out. Our food was brought my food had one thing I didn’t want in there so I told the wait staff and they tried to correct the issue. However the second thing I asked for not to be in my meal was there instead. I didn’t want to be a bother so I just started to pick it out not wanting to bother the staff again. My husband urged me to talk to them. But I insisted I would just pick out what was wrong with it. It was only when our server asked if everything was okay. That my anxiety started to get the best of me. I started to have a panic attack in the middle of the restaurant. I was really embarrassed. And I just wanted to leave. But the staff here was lovely and handled it amazingly. They didn’t bring attention to what had happened and made me a new meal. They are a great local business and I love to...

We were aware of this place for awhile but didn't stop to eat till now. Pleasantly surprised, the interior felt a little outdated, but not terrible. That's my only negative though, the staff was friendly and attentive. Our server was a very nice, my husband asked for recommendations and he gladly talked about the menu and what he really thought was best. The food was fast, fresh and tasted great. It was calm and relaxing while we ate. It was very clean and comfortable, tables with chairs as well as booths to pick from. We visited around 11am, there were about 1/3 of the tables in use, and everyone was greeted quickly, and given the same service we received. Bathrooms were clean too, plenty of parking. We are regulars at Kowabunga Comics nextdoor, so we'll be adding Lake House Cafe to our visits. Today we tried the Friday fish fry (Perch), got 3 good sized pieces of fish, came with a cup of soup or salad, choice of potato, a roll and coleslaw. Our server said on Fridays you also get a free beer with a fish fry, but I declined. We also had a corn beef hash with scrambled eggs and...

I had a delightful experience at Lakehouse Cafe today when I visited around 1:30. I decided to try the lunch special, which included the Beer Cheese Soup and a Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich. The soup was a standout with a unique twist – they used popcorn as croutons, which added a delightful crunch.

Service was prompt, and my server, Terry, was attentive throughout the meal. The food arrived quickly, and what impressed me even more was the affordability – the entire meal only cost $10 before tipping.

One small suggestion for improvement would be to add a hook in the bathroom to hang up baby backpacks. While they did have a baby changing station and a trash can, this addition would make it even more convenient for parents.

The cleanliness of the place was commendable, and the music was at just the right volume – not too loud, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Lakehouse Cafe exudes a charming cabin vintage feel that adds to the overall dining experience. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try for a tasty and reasonably...
