Reviews for Lake City’s Family Diner in Lake City, MI
A group of us went in here yesterday. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The cappuccino was nothing more then... hot milky water, the raspberry iced tead was just tea with a very slight raspberry flavoring. The food.... Where do I begin? Thecoleslaw was horrible (they make their own sauce. Please, leave it to the pros!) The soup was bland, and the catfish wasn'tcooked enough to eat it, though my dogs will enjoy it today. I paid $16.37 for my raspberry tea and catfish basket plus a tip,not a cheap meal. They definitely lost several customers. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! Read more
If I could leave no stars I would. We went in there today (09/04/2022) The first thing I noticed was the table was dirty, not... horrible, but dirty. I looked around and sea the salad bar. I thought " salad bar sounds great" until I looked a little closer.The salad bar was filthy. I understand when you're busy you can't be on top of everything but there were only four tables whenwe were there. So no to the salad bar. We ordered and continued checking out the interior of the place. Second thing we noticedwas the woman's bathroom door was open after every use. I don't know about you but we don't want to be having that smell rolltowards us as it was only 8 feet away. Now I'm starting to think this was a bad call coming in here then I look over and watch acook ( btw no gloves) making what appeared to be mashed potatoes. He took the spoon out of the potatoes and tasted it and putthe spoon right back in the potatoes. We immediately asked to cancel our order. I've worked for Marriott as a chef for 8 yearsand had anyone in my kitchens done that they would have been immediately fired. That place breaks many health code violations.If you want food illnesses continue to eat there. The place is disgusting. Read more
Never have anything on the menu. No sauce for the mozzarella sticks, no oatmeal on the menu. Waitresses are rude, consistently. ... Last visit we waited 45 minutes for food. Not sure how this place is actually still in business? Read more
It took a while for them to take our order, even though we were the only people there. The food was fine except that the chicken... in my chef salad was tough and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. My main complaint is that one of the twowaitresses that served us was eating a big piece of buttered bread while she was waiting for our order to be prepared, and shetouched her face several times when eating and also wiped her mouth once with her hand. When our order was done, she did notwash her hands and just took my plate and served me. I talked to her about it, and she was nice about it, but it really ruinedour experience. We were just surprised that the staff isn't trained better in hygiene matters, especially during a globalpandemic. Read more
The food was great. The servers were friendly and personable. The restaurant is cute and the locals all seemed to be eating... there rather than at the place across the street. Read more
We went here because it was the only place in Lake City that was open at 9am for breakfast. They were so "short staffed" it was... about a ten minute wait between sitting down and getting coffee. I had blueberry french toast & scrambled eggs. The eggs weredelicious & so was the bread. Blueberries not so much. Great potential for this place. Read more
Why is it the Best Places to eat are the ones in small towns?? Because the People care and have real American Hometown Values as... if you were Welcomed to their Home. The Family Diner and Staff are all around great People, nice Atmosphere and fabulous Food.The double cheeseburger was bigger than my mouth could bite; the beef vegetable stew was top notch. Highly Recommended. Read more
Your typical middle of nowhere diner in Michigan. And that's not a complaint! We went for breakfast and had a good meal. They... have a few "jumbo" menu items if that's your speed. I saw a cinnamon roll the size of a plate! They have a five egg omelettealong with the normal sized portions. We will be back! Read more
