Lake Life Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Busti

EDIT: I truly appreciate the response from the business. That shows you how everyone should handle a business. Even when some situations are out of their control. That earns them a 5 Star. Original post: I come to the area yearly, and it was my 1st time here. Hands down the staff was super nice!, breakfast served fast. Pancakes were huge - tasted good. My eggs/toast/bacon, all were a little too greasy for my liking. I always enjoy local places such as this. However, we are unlikely to return and dine in. Unfortunately, that's because of the other customers we encounter. A few rude ppl while waiting outside (I dont even want to get in to the details). The other, because its tight inside. We sat at the counter -which I normally enjoy. A he customer next to me kept coughing, and not covering his mouth (ugh). Even pre covid, I would have been bothered by this. I would probably order to go -if I was in the mood for...

Quite enjoyed this place, the employees were nice...but seemed kinda snooty, honestly it could have been a bad day for our waitress but she didn't smile much. The food was really good, I got the Italian garlic pesto sandwich with sweet potatoe fries. Some of the fries were stuck together and weren't cooked properly but most of them were good. The sandwich was delicious, it comes with mozzarella, provolone, garlic aioli, tomatoes, and spinach. I got it without the provolone and got banana peppers on it. My family got the create your own omelette and they finished their plates so they are good. However their orange juice was oddly thick, none of us could even finish half of it. Their coffee isn't good, taste cheap. It was pretty loud but not enough to give you a headache and you could still hear and talk to each other. It is a pretty little place. Would go again, hopefully a...

The minute we walked through the door we were cheerfully greeted like we were regular customers, most customers turned to look at us when we walked in. I half expected them to call out "Norm" 😉 We were impressed with choices on the menu, crepes, kielbasa, even crepes. Their fresh brewed sweet tea was perfect, not overly sweet, the way I remember in the South. We highly recommend the hashbrowns done to perfection, browned on each side with a little crunch, complete with green & red chopped peppers, finely diced onion. The teamwork shown amongst the staff made our breakfast very enjoyable. A real family oriented restaurant, where you meet up great homestyle food at a great price. Do yourself a favor as you're driving down Rt. 394 in Asheville, NY heading towards Stow, stop in and grab some mighty fine food. Maybe I will see you there. Thanks to Sandy Ahlgren...
