This is our neighborhood local diner. They have excellent breakfast. That is a good value. My wife and I are are too small children come here regularly. The servers are consistent and we see the same faces often, which tells me they have good management. The decor inside has been updated somewhat recently. It's not necessarily my preference, but you can tell they are trying. There are certainly other good brunch places nearby but there's something about Lake Highlands Café that feels like a local gem. read more

Decided to try out this local cafe. The breakfast menu is amazing! Omelettes, pancakes, crepes. You really cannot go wrong. Yes, there are bottomless coffee refills. The space feels a bit stark - the blue and white decor and the harsh fluorescent lights aren't doing the space any favors. A lot of the signs have a "laugh, live, love" sensibility. But the food is delicious and the service was very friendly. I sampled the Nutella's crepes with strawberry and bananas - exquisitely sweet! I liked the hearty serving on the veggie omelette - it comes with your choice of a wide variety of sides. I tried the hash browns and they were perfectly crisp and salty. I also picked a biscuit for a little extra carb-loading. So delicious! read more

Pretty good food and good service ! We came at lunch time on a Monday- there were 7 of us and we were in and out in about 40 minutes. The staff were very attentive and there were constantly people coming and going which is a good sign ! I got the pancake combo and it was massive- tons of food for a good price. My pancakes were so fluffy and were great! The restaurant itself was a little dated and warm but all in all I'd easily go again. read more

Lake Highlands Cafe is a good place for breakfast. Their chicken sausage was definitely the show stopper for my breakfast, and the eggs were cooked just right. The staff is friendly, and our waiter was on top of it the whole time we were there. It was a good experience. read more

Another of our go to for late breakfast/lunch. Tiki Hibby had the CFS and I tried a crepe. Omg the crepe was amazing came with fresh whipped cream. The CFS is on point but the star was smoky grits - grits with Gouda cheese covered in bacon(still craving ) Service was busy but everyone took care of us. Can get loud but ice tea is great. read more

Lake Highlands Cafe is darling, just a perfect neighborhood spot. It's nothing fancy, but it's great for a casual breakfast, brunch, whatever. The prices are reasonable, the service is very nice, and the food is solid. I had an egg plate, which came with plenty of extras, such as a side biscuit, and I added a side of chicken sausage. Again, it's nothing fancy, but it was the perfect diner-esque breakfast. read more

We've been to LHC a few times for brunch but decided to try it for lunch. Got off to a rough start when nobody came to take orders or bring water for over 15min before I had to ask for a server. Not a huge thing but frustrating with two cranky hungry toddlers. As for the food, I was IMPRESSED! I got the Buffalo Chicken wrap and it was phenomenal crispy chicken and bacon tossed in buffalo sauce with a nice "freshish" tortilla and mixed greens. I wish it was wrapped better and my fries were crispier but it was great. I will be back! read more

I've been here a couple other times. This time the food wasn't quite up to par. I ordered a Benedict option but my eggs were had no run, too overcooked. The pancake was so so. They are always busy so maybe just an off day. But my sever was great! read more

Great breakfast menu and some lunch. Service is fast and friendly. Just after noon on a Sunday there was a 10-15 minute wait, but it passed quickly watching the staff clean and turn tables so efficiently. This was my second visit to Lake Highlands Cafe. The food is top notch and the portions are huge! We were so impressed with the authentically poached (not steamed) eggs. I have to add a shout out for the grits too. The Smokey version has cheese and bacon. ..highly recommend! read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. The French Connection was just what my husband wanted and they made the hash browns crispy like he ordered. I ordered the Florentine Omelette without cheese and it was tasty with just the right amount of mushrooms, onions and spinach. It comes with fruit or grits and toast or pancakes. ALERT. You have to get the pancakes and pay the up charge for the berries and mascarpone berry topping. How could you not love this. Just look at the picture. The waitress was friendly and refilled our coffee and checked on us a couple of times. She brought the check (pay at the table) and a to go box. The leftovers were just as delicious the next day. The atmosphere is busy and the ceiling is exposed but they put in sound boards which helps. If you come once, you'll be back. Enjoy read more

I came here with a friend after taking a walk in White Rock. There were lots of parking. There were lots of seatings and the menu had lots of options. I felt healthy so I ordered the avocado toast. It was filling, but I thought the avocado was a bit bland. I thought it could use salt and pepper, but luckily there were some on the table. My friend ordered the gyro wrap. She liked it and it satisfied her craving. The staff seemed friendly and young. They were attentive and we received our food and drinks quickly. We came towards closing time so there weren't many people. Thanks for a great service! read more

Extensive breakfast/lunch menu with plenty of options. Ordered over the phone and it took ~15 min for an order of 6 items. Service was good and everything ordered was in the bags when we got home. Space inside looked cozy with plenty of seating. I went with the patty melt with onion rings. The patty melt was solid, great rye bread, was just missing some sort of sauce, didn't have any and was lacking. The onion rings were elite, great breading/crunch, fried to perfection. Will definitely be trying this spot again. read more

Amazing place. HUGE portions for a fair price. Service was good. Music and noise level was just right, we could hear each other easily. They managed to get the bacon order just like we ordered it. Service - our server was good, but when another server walked by with the coffee pot, she didn't top my coffee off. Oblivious to the situation at hand. Heck, they even wipe down the menus so as not to be contaminated by a pervious guest. read more

Want a great breakfast at a reasonable cost with super service? Here you go! I can see this spot taking over from some of the big name chains in the area. It is easy to find, easy to get in and out, easy to place an order or to pay, GREAT food, and exceptional service! The decor is very pleasing! The ceiling design dampens the sound so you can converse with those at your table in a reasonable voice. The menu is extensive! I had to compare it with the other breakfast/brunch places, so I ordered the chicken fried steak, eggs, and hash browns with a stack of pancakes. The pancakes were okay, the eggs were good, the hashbrowns were well cooked and the star of the meal was the freshly battered chicken fried steak. It may not be the best chicken fried steak in Dallas, but it is in the top 3! read more

Wonderful brunch site! Service was impeccable and the food was on point. My favorite is the decor, super welcoming and clean. One of the unique dishes is the chicken friend chicken (Fried Chicken Plate) because instead of just white gravy, they used sausage gravy!!! My hubby was over the moon with that little tweek. I wish the fruit was more ripe, or had more berries, but the cocktails were on point. Def. check out this hot and new family owned brunch spot! read more

I went here on my birthday. It was cute when I walked in, but more importantly, the two young women at the front greeted me so warmly and sweetly! I went to my table and ordered everything I wanted, it was my birthday so I got a spread! Everything I ordered was so delicious, especially the berry crepes! The latte was regular but still yummy! But even more importantly, my server was so nice and smiled at me and was so helpful and overall, I just had the best birthday breakfast all by myself! Thankyou Lake Highlands Cafe! read more

Great food; large portions - big enough to share in some cases - good service. Highly recommend.

Cafe serving breakfast/brunch/lunch in a strip mall. Stopped in for brunch on Sunday -- lots of folks waiting for tables. Waited about 20 minutes for a table. Standard cafe breakfast and lunch fare. Restaurant is one large dining room, lots of booths and a few tables. Since it's new, everything was nice and clean. Food was all good! Server was nice, food was served fresh and hot. Pancakes were very sweet and tasted like birthday cake, so if you like that, you'll be very pleased! Corned beef hash was tasty -- eggs were nicely done. Nothing stood out, but it was all good. Our only slight was that there were lots of folks waiting and very little sense of urgency from the staff...and there were several tables open but folks weren't being seated. I'm sure there was some kind of method to it, but it can get frustrating seeing open tables and staff not really hustling. read more

My best buddy (my sister in law) her sister (our baby sister) and a couple of other ladies met at Lakehighlands Cafe. I was my normal running late so the ladies had started without me. I ordered and the food came really quickly, was hot and delicious. However, Lakehighlands cafe is rather small for the amount of service the receive. The entire place was a little crowed. But the wait staff was very pleasant, the entire time, and the service received was nice. However, the reason the place was so exceedingly busy, the food was amazing! I had French toast and it was fresh hot and so good. My advice go early AM get a seats with lots of leg room too. If you enjoy people watching get a corner booth. Wonderful place to meet friends and do breakfast before your day takes off on roller skates! read more

The place is super cute. We were seated right away and didn't wait long for our food either. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich the portions are huge! The fries are well seasoned and crispy. Pepsi products which was cool! They also have mimosas etc.. drinks for brunch so definitely be back for that and to try some breakfast entrees. read more

I looked on Yelp for a new Breakfast/Lunch place and my fellow Yelpers did not let me down with this recommendation! The ambiance here was classic diner type decor and atmosphere. Tasteful, but simple and mainly functional. The service was great and everyone here was very friendly and helped each others sections out. I ordered the Country Breakfast, which was two eggs cooked to order, biscuit served open-faced and smothered in sausage gravy, and two sausage patties and two slices of bacon. It was really good, All Of It! My plate was clean after I finished eating! read more

Visited twice, always seated quickly and service is great. Usual modern American diner with a large menu and pretty much anything you could want! I love the breakfast tacos. My partner changes what he ordered every time and eats it all! Docking a star because they won't sub the side of pancakes for waffles..... it's literally the same cost in materials and a la carte on the menu. Does not make sense. read more

Dallas breakfast has been redeemed! I read about this place on Yelp, and it was very close to our hotel. Sitting was quick and the location is very pretty. Our coffee was excellent, better than the larger chain stores. We ordered the Big Apple bowl and the Egg breakfast. We made special requests and our server got every one of them spot on. This is rare. Refills were quick and plentiful and all of the employees look happy to be at work. The food was hot, fresh and reason nicely seasoned. Portion sizes are excellent , I never even made it to my pancakes. Overall great food. We will be back tomorrow to check on consistency. The decor is also very cute and the music was really nice also. read more

This is a sweet little place! We were headed to another brunch place in Dallas that we had our eye on only to arrive and find they were closed due to an event. I did a search on yelp and found this spot. It was crowded at the front but our table was available in about 10 minutes! We ordered up a feast as is typical when out with my 3 lovely daughters! Everything was delicious! One of my daughters particularly loved her s'mores French toast! I got a biscuit sandwich and the biscuit melted in my mouth. So good! And the hash browns were cooked just right... diner- style with a crispy top and soft potato in the middle. It's a great atmosphere, diner-like but a bit more trendy decor. Good, standard breakfast with great attention to tables (waters and coffee regularly filled) and well-prepared food. If you are thinking inventive dishes and over-the-top-sauces on your Benedict, that's not this. This is good breakfast food that delivers and definitely fills the criteria for the breakfast-niche. My sister said it hasn't been around long, so if in this Dallas neighborhood, stop in for a tasty brunch or even make it a regular spot! I definitely would if I lived here! read more

Found this gem on Google but we came here for brunch on Saturday around 10am and got seated within 10mins. They turn tables really fast so the wait should never be too long. We ordered mimosas and they were just okay. The two eggs scrambled with bacon were just average but the smoky grits were super good. The berry bliss pancakes and southwest omelette were also very good. Ambiance was very casual. read more
