This place was amazing. The fish and chips were huge and served hot and fresh . The onion rings were also delicious. Our server was delightful and knowledgeable about the area. We will return read more

Lakeview Restaurant - Fish and chips , salad & onion rings - Diners Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

Horrible reviews but we are there twice as a family and loved the food and service. I think people need to give this place another chance as I have no complaints. My son asked to go there again for their pancakes before heading out. Right on the water so the view of the lake and people is great. read more

Ice-Cold Food, Ice-Colder Attitude Lakeside Restaurant manages the rare feat of being cold in every conceivable sense of the word--and not in a charming, minimalist way. The dining room was so uncomfortably cold that it felt less like a restaurant and more like an unheated waiting room. Keeping your coat on is not a "vibe"; it is a failure of basic hospitality. Unfortunately, the temperature was the least offensive aspect of the experience. The service was frigid, detached, and borderline hostile. There was no warmth, no courtesy, and no pretense of welcoming guests. Staff moved through the space with the enthusiasm of people who would clearly rather be anywhere else, making customers feel like an inconvenience instead of patrons. A restaurant by the lake should lean into warmth, comfort, and atmosphere. Lakeside Restaurant instead delivers sterility, indifference, and a sense of being quietly judged for having the audacity to show up. It felt less like dining and more like being tolerated. Hospitality is about human connection. Lakeside Restaurant offers none. I left cold, uncomfortable, and genuinely confused as to how this place remains in operation. Save yourself the discomfort and go literally anywhere else. read more

I never would write a bad review but I came in for a hot dog and the lady didn't offer me any condiments for my hot dog. And then when I asked for sauerkraut / ketchup and mustard .. she said I DONT KNOW ASK THE CHEF . She's the waitress , Tita with an amnesty rainbow letter shirt was black , straight across bangs with a bad attitude .. The hot dog is 8+ tax which is ridiculous already . - I don't need to be snapped at for asking for simple topping . ; The next waitress who helped us said she's always like that .. Unfortunately i always tip but this time i wont because the first waitress completely ignored me the first time i went in for breakfast , and i went back later because they weren't busy . And she still gave me attitude . Fire her , keep the nice friendly waitress In a white shirt and professional .. She asked me what I needed and definitely deserves a higher position for her service . read more

After reading through most of the reviews of this restaurant, my interest was peaked! A few friends and myself decided to stop by and see what the buzz was all about.. Oh boy. I'd like to start on a positive note and say our server(s) was lovely, and very diligent at keeping the coffee hot and the water full; but... the food is another story, I think it is ridiculously priced for the quality that is served. We tried a variety of breakfast dishes and all came to the same unsatisfactory conclusion. Most of our food was cold or stale, which I wouldn't care for if I wasn't spending so much money! The amount of food waste that must happen here is remarkable, not one of us finished our plates. Your best bet would be to visit one of the neighbouring restaurants. read more

PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. I know you might be in the area and trying to find a restaurant that has a patio and wanting to enjoy this beautiful summer at this beautiful lake. This only good thing about this place is that it's got an outdoor seating so you can eat while enjoying the weather. But the food and the service over here are tremendously terrible. You could go to some other restaurants like the German bar beside this. Ordered their fish & chips, bacon burger, onion rings and nachos. They all taste like frozen food. On top of that, the server kept on forgetting our orders when he actually wrote the orders down. We ordered onion rings and coca cola. We waited for a long time. We asked the same server and he told us we did not order that. We told him we confirmed with him and he started to remember but never apologized. We then asked for extra water but he never gave it to us. He did return just to give us the bill. This is my first 1 star review out of all the restaurants I've been to. I've been to restaurants with bad service and/or terrible food but not one deserved one star like this restaurant does. read more

Please read all the reviews saying this place is not good. I'm sorry, I usually wouldn't review like this as I know a business is someone's livelihood BUT there is obviously an ongoing issue. Our server was amazing. She was quick, attentive and really sweet. But the food is awful. My pancakes had a rubbery texture and I can guarantee the link sausages cannot be any type of real meat. Reminded me of wood pulp they use in cheap parmesan cheese as a filler. Even the hot cocoa was watery and tasteless. For the prices you charge please get it together and fix your food. read more

I hate giving low ratings but avoid this place. The food is stodge. Burger meat tastes like a cat gave its life for the meal. Ordered a salad thinking I'd do a good thing by skipping the fries. The lettuce I got I wrinkled and old. The parmesan is sprinkled out of a Kraft container and is orangish in appearance. Disgusting. Avoid for your health. read more

Lakeview Restaurant - The lettuce - very poor quality - Diners Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

This place gets a well deserved 4/5. Pretty close to getting a 5. Seated quickly, coffee arrived fast and no shortage of refills. Food also arrived timely and was really good. Eggs were poached perfectly and farmer sausage was great. Only down side is the price. However, there are limited options for breakfast this time of year and you are in a "resort" town. So I suppose it makes sense. We paid $55 with tip for 2 coffees, 1 regular eggs benny and 1 famers eggs benny. This place is definitely better than the 1.5 star overall review (at the time of this post). Enjoy!! read more

Lakeview Restaurant - Farmer's eggs Benedict $20.95 - Diners Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

Well.... where to start. Had the Spanish omelet, the eggs were WAY over cooked, past rubbery. My well done hash browns were barely brown at all, not to mention cold. My dining partners eggs Benedict were devoid of flavor. Hollandaise was split, lumpy and cold. The ham was dried like leather. Both of us had sides of sausage, which was again flavorless, with a texture like biting into fat. read more

Alright, mix reviews for me about this place. The first time I went to this place food was terrible, I didn't like it all, it tasted very mediocre and something just thrown together without care. I went for a second time and ordered fish and chips, cheese and chicken quesadillas and I might say, not to bad. I enjoyed my lunch, I'm from the city and usually I would have expected the bill to run up to 70$ for three people but I paid 50$ for 3 meals and drinks. Also, about the service, there wasn't too many people so service wasn't too bad. I guess it all comes down to what you order and what time of day you're there. read more

Breakfast stop before saying farewell to the lovely village of Harrison. Unimpressed. I opted for the Lakeview breakfast and upgraded the hash browns. Big mistake. $3.95 for a dollop of sour cream, odd tasting bacon and a few sprinkles of gren onion. Ham was my meat choice which was utterly inedible. I think it was a piece of sandwich meat warmed up on the grill. Sunny side eggs were too runny. Toast was not greased up with real butter. My partner tried the omlette king. Luckily this was filled with fresh spinach and tomatoes. Used a weird proceed cheese and the weird ham again. His hash browns were regular and tasted more like potatoe. This and a juice landed us at $34. Grossly overpriced for the breakfast quality. Ambiance was not my cup of tea. The front door slams when closed which was irritating this and elevator music did not relax me. Maybe a better lunch spot but I doubt it. Food was fast but that says a lot about quality. View is stunning though! read more

Definitely go by the reviews posted this place is disgusting! Soggy toast,not sure what was used as ham but it tasted bad and gross, hash browns were the shredded kind they were mushy and greasy. KEEP CLEAR AND SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR APPETITE for somewhere else! read more

Went to the Gelato House with family, and they had many sorbet flavours there for my lactose intolerance including a great lemon flavour and good waffle cones as well. So why am I giving only 2 stars despite the good service? Simple, the woman working behind the counter when I was there wasn't wearing a mask despite the provincial health regulations. That right there is a red flag to me. read more

If you like paying out the ass to feel like shit this is the place for you. All their food is either frozen and microwaved multiple times. Or scraped from the inside of a 7/11 dumpster. If you're in Harrison avoid this place at all costs. I'd hit up the gas station around the corner for cleaner food. If you do end up eating at Lakeview Restaurant, remember to throw up at the table cause I can't see them getting any other kind of tips. read more

Fast service and friendly. Good food love the onion rings and the chipotle sauce that came with them. Overall good experience.

I was going to explain how horrible this place really is but it's just not worth the time. If you want to know how bad the food is just dig through a dumpster near another restaurant in town. The food will be better and you won't have to decipher the screaming Mandarin. What a dump. read more

Awful service. Server came and went several times until we were finally able to flag her down to order. Our beverages never came. Breakfast Sausage, bacon and eggs were mediocre at best. French toast and pancakes were okay after dressing with butter and syrup. read more

Poorly managed and over priced. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Food service was incredibly slow. Took them almost 45 minutes for my half order of crispy chicken salad ($9) and daily soup ($5)! When the food did come out, the food was sub par at best. The $9 half order of crispy chicken salad, consisted of (maybe) 2 cups of wet salad leaves, covered in store brought sauce, one premade chicken strip chopped up and topped off with yellow mustard. The daily soup (calm chowder) was cold when it got to me, The soup came with overcooked mussels, and cheese like strands in it. How do you mess up daily soup!? Your better off going to the hot dog stand next store. Edit: My boyfriend upgraded his fries to onion rings for an extra $3, big mistake, we ended up with 6 onion rings... that $.50 per onion ring.... read more

I'm sorry I wasted one of my weekend getaway meals here. We stopped in because it looked like a cute diner-style place to grab lunch. I ordered the Caesar salad, which was watery with bottled dressing and dry croutons. My bf actually liked his club sandwich a lot, but the fries tasted like they'd been triple fried in old oil and left to harden. The service was just strange. It was a young girl so maybe she was new or nervous - it wasn't a language barrier as she spoke perfect English. This is how it went when she tried to take our order. Her: Audibly sighs and takes out her notepad. "What can I get you?" Me: "Can we have a few more minutes?" Her: Stands there silently, pen poised over notepad. "Yes?" Me: Realize she's still waiting to take our order. "We're not ready, can we have a few more minutes?" Her: Stands there silently staring at us, pen poised over notepad. My bf: Giving me a WTF look: "Can you come back in a few minutes?" Her: "Ok." Turns and walks away. The icing on the cake was the large family who seemed to know the owner or waiter, squawking and nattering in a corner booth, the teen boys wrestling around by the front door. We couldn't wait to get out of there and pretty much raced each other to the counter to pay our bill and leave. read more

Absolute terrible service and food isn't much better. Your drink is never refilled, the servers are not friendly and food was bland/soggy/Luke warm. Would highly not recommend. read more

After a long drive, we weren't up to leaving the hotel, and with a toddler this was our only option. It was not flashy at all and the menu was simple (burgers, chicken strips, Mac & Cheese). The view of the lake was lovely. The food was actually okay - better than I expected from the reviews. The service was good. My son asked to go back today for the Mac & Cheese, so not a bad option if you have young children. Prices are similar to Vancouver restaurants. If you are tired and don't want to leave the hotel, this is not a bad option. read more

Not good. They don't know what is in their own menu items. Everything tasted a bit off and service is very slow. Would for sure skip next time. read more

Very disappointed: Oat meal was watery and instant. We sent the oatmeal back, but still paid $6 for it. Omelet was a microwave egg patty with about 2 tbsps of filling. Omelet was the size of a petite woman's hand. All food was cold. Coffee wasn't bad. read more

I used to come here with my family as a teenager for fish and chips, because it was an absolutely great little diner with delicious food, but I guess it has changed owners, or management, or something critical. It's nowhere near the same now. The food was edible. Not awful. The SERVICE, however, was probably the worst I've ever had. Our server practically threw everything down on the table, rolled her eyes at us when we asked for anything (water.) I'm not a difficult customer, I've worked in customer service, I get it. But this was next level. It felt like she was angry with us just for being there. I won't be returning. And I wouldn't recommend wasting time or money here. read more

A bustling diner that focuses on breakfast and lunch (fish & chips). We stopped in for breakfast which is your standard fare. I had the french toast which are three huge slabs of bread. It was grand in size but a little bland on its own - no vanilla or cinnamon here. Although they use and re-use plastic syrup bottles, I believe they are filled with an actually good *real* maple syrup, which caught me off guard. It definitely livened up the french toast. read more

Not horrible. Wish I checked yelp first though. We went in for a quick bite after a long day of driving. The burger we ordered that was like $13 dollars was like a Mc Donalds happy meal burger with some onion rings on it, why nothing was horrible about it. We also got a cheese quesadilla for like $10 dollars and it was literally just just cheese and tortilla. So, I though the quality of the food was meh and it was WAY overpriced for what we got. On a side note. I we didn't try the Asian item but I think they're the way to go if you eat at this place. read more

Wish I'd read the reviews. Probably worst fish and chips I've ever had. Patio looks nice. Place itself looks cute but keep on walking. Very expensive and if I could give less than 1 star I would read more

The halibut was decent but this place is very over priced. A grilled cheese for our daughter was 9$!! It's right on the main strip so I'm sure it gets a lot of traffic. I would suggest you try and find a different spot. It also feels a bit dirty and old in there, and not the charming kind. There are much better places around for the same price or cheaper. read more

Avoid if at all possible -- this place has gone downhill since I was there last which was about 6 yrs ago. Where to start... the only positive is that we were promptly seated. Otherwise: SEVERELY over-priced for such a memorable experience (sarcastic roll of the eyes). Definitely worse dining experience! There were two flies in the restaurant that keep buzzing around our table when we were having our meal. The server came once to refill our terrible, bland, stale coffee given to you in a mini cup. Despite the fact me shoeing the flies away from our table in front of the server, he was totally oblivious and didn't acknowledge our plight. To top that off, the coffee cream/milk came warm. Fortunately, we were able to use the honey. The service was non existent! There were two servers for a diner that was 1/2 empty at dinner time. The experience was as follows: 1) seated 2) took our order 3) brought us our coffee and water 4) brought our food 5) came by to refill the coffee once 6) we promptly paid our bill and left 7) questionable 10% tip (I don't think they even deserved that) Food: Fish and Chips and their specialty burger. Cod is average -- very hard to screw up deep fried cod and fries, but they managed to do it. The fries were very hard like its been reheated or re-fried to many times, but I could not figure out why. The coleslaw was bland and I couldn't taste anything except raw cabbage. Green peas was bland, didn't think those could be screwed up, but they managed to do it. Specialty burger was small and very bland. My wife said she couldn't even taste the beef. I didn't try it myself, but I didn't think a burger could go so wrong... they managed to f'it up too! Last time I will ever dine there unless there is new management and there are some great Yelp reviews. That was my fatal mistake, I should have used Yelp instead of relying on my previous experience. This is not meant to be an insult to McDonald's since I am using them as a comparison, but for a rating to give you a better idea: McDs: 4/10, this diner 1/10!! In conculsion, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!! McDonalds is cheaper and the food is far superior to this crap this place serves! read more

I didn't check the reviews from Yelp until we had already ordered so I was a little scared of what we'd end up getting. I shouldn't have worried. The food was fine. I ordered a normal breakfast with bacon, 2 eggs and toast. My sister had the omelette, shared with my nephew. I don't remember why my brother-in-law had but I remember that it looked really good too. The service was fine, the meal was good, the price was fine. For 3 adults, it was around $40 and we all walked out of the restaurant full and happy. They brought us 4 waters which made my nephew quite happy (20 month old babies can be demanding) and re-filled my coffee. Much cheaper than the hotel breakfast buffet. The only real criticism I have is the lighting. Their lighting is a string of lights through the restaurant and it changes colours. It's oddly distracting and kind of hurt my eyes in the beginning. I think if light changes adversely affect you, you might not want to come here or send someone in to grab take-out. But otherwise, it's a fine option for breakfast. read more

Price are a little bit expensive but acceptable cuz you are in Harrison Hot Springs. Got a sausage lakeview breakfast, love the sausage but green salad is terrible. Veggie omelette is tasteless, with veggies that I feel like they were uncooked. At last, I would say they need better coffee and service. Credit for the location and patio view. read more

Lakeview Restaurant - Lakeview sausage breakfast, sub hash brown to green salad which was a bad idea - Diners Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

This place has a great and friendly staff, great food (My fav is the Hangover Breakfast ) and a view that is unmatched in the area. Perfect!

Sausage tasted so gross to start with. It tasted like freezer and old pork. Smells bad and greasy bad aftertaste of sausage. Hashbrowns I wish it was more crispier and held together. Omlette was mediocre but the bottom part with cheese was rubbery in texture. Probably uses can and frozen veggies to make their food. Coffee cup smelled of very old coffee with coffee stains on the cup and thr spoon that they gave you with. This will be my first and last time here. read more

I've been coming to Harrison for over 20 years and the Lakeview Restaurant used to be the only restaurant reasonably priced in this area. Yes, it was always a bit of a dive, but the food was adequate and it had a nice view of the lake. This year my wife and I returned to Harrison and thought we'd eat here one night. Checking the hard-to-read, sun-bleached menu on the window (which probably works in their favour) we noticed they jacked up their prices... almost double. Even though it has a lake view, for a dive restaurant it was far too expensive. Fifteen dollars for a bacon cheeseburger? No thanks. We ended up driving 10 minutes to Agassiz and getting food there. read more

Simply the worst breakfast ever, I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs, my wife ordered two poached eggs and toast and my daughter the pancakes. My corned beef hash consisted of raw shredded bag potatoes with a slice of cut up luncheon meat mixed in with cold eggs. My wifes poached eggs came covered in a package yellow sauce, while the pancakes where thin as paper napkins and everything was cold. Whats worse is the high prices, freezing cold restaurant, even the server wore her north face fleece. Great location wasted on total lack of food care our knowledge. Do not go here for anything, is all I can say. read more

After taking a stroll around the lake, we decided to find a place for lunch. Despite reading those really poor reviews, we saw this restaurant has a big menu with many asian food options, so we tried it anyways. This restaurant does have a good view of the lake. The service, contrary to previous reviews, was actually great. Food was served timely. The shrimp rice bowl was good. The chicken wings was overly crusted with flour... the salad simply overpriced. But overall, I think a three stars rating is fair. read more
