We had an amazing breakfast, everything was fresh and delicious. Coffee is great, whatever beans they use, keep them, really tasty coffee. All the girls working there are amazing! Thank you for a wonderful start of the day

★★★★★ 5.0 Tahseen Bock · Dec 2024

The service here was very good and our server, Kelly, was so nice and very helpful. The pancakes were very good and very big ( to keep in mind). The hot chocolate was very delicious and the Bloody Mary was also very good. This is definitely a place I would come back to!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Gerry R · Feb 2026

Nice place and staff very friendly. But, the food was mediocre at best. My country fried steak came with "gravy" that I could hang wallpaper with. I scraped it off the soggy breading and piled it up higher than my crumpled napkin. The small piece of meat was decent and the soft, not crispy coating had good seasoning. The home fries were overcooked and mushy. The over-easy eggs were great. A bloody mary was really good. Oh, I got a whole $1 credit for the country paste. Pretty sad meal for $20. The wifes tuna melt was similarly dissapointing. It was a wasted $40+. Keep driving. All of the folks raving about this place have very low standards.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mike Shubic (Mike's Road Trip) · Aug 2024

Echo Lake Cafe is a cool spot with a charming ambiance, offering plenty of indoor and patio seating. The property is beautifully surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush green grass, making it a visually appealing place to dine. It's quite popular, so we ended up waiting around 30 minutes for a table. Once seated on the patio at a large table, we found the food to be quite good, though not gourmet by any means. The menu is a bit on the pricey side, and the wait for our food was pretty long—nearly an hour. Despite the delays, it's a great place for breakfast or lunch if you're not in a rush.
