A great small business that cares for their customers! Every front staff person came by to check on us, bring us food, irrespective and bring refills etc. Our party ordered burgers, gripped cheese, and a hot dog. The person whobhad the gilles cheese added bacon. They said the bacon was perfectly crisp, not floppy, not burnt. The Hot Dog was a Costco style 1/4lb dog, nuff said. The burgers came out on a soft hamburger bun, topped with a generous portion of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The patty was a well seasoned 70/30 patty that hit all the notes. Just right, not overly seasoned with GSP or fillers. Salt pepper Beef that's all. Finally, the star... the hand cut fries! This was a bonus for us as we didn't know thet had them. When the server suggested them, we all said yes! They were that rich brown that fresh fair fries get...ya know?! Summary: If you're in the area and are looking for a place to eat, check out the restaurant masquerading as a house in the center of Buckeye Lake. read more

We both ordered breakfast and it was decent. I wish that my potatoes were cooked a little more with some color on them. The eggs and toast were spot on. This is the best diner on Route 79 at Buckeye Lake. Service was quick. Ambiance was perfect for conversation. We will be back. read more

Got the BEST country breakfast at this well-loved diner near Buckeye Lake. The bacon is phenomenal - thick cut and fresh. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The portions are generous and prices very reasonable. Our server was super friendly and coffee and food comes out amazingly fast. Coffee cups and waters were kept full. The menu is a perfect mix of traditional breakfast options, but meats can include perch, walleye or bologna along with bacon, sausage or ham! Lots of interesting options. They have daily specials that I did not notice until on the board until I was leaving. The dining room is not fancy or trendy, decorated with an abundance of lighthouses and fish. Seating is comfortable. The place is dated, but in a good way. The restaurant is only a mile off Interstate 70 and worth the drive. It's in an old house, which was easy to miss. There's plenty of parking around the building. Restrooms are spacious and clean. This was the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Will return to try one of the lunch specials. read more

Mary and I stopped in for breakfast this morning. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. Mary had two hot cakes and bacon, the hotcakes were ginormous, enough for several folks; also very tasty. I had the chicken fried steak, very tender on the inside, crunchy breading on the outside, very tasty; the eggs, hash browns, and toast were standard. read more

Best breakfast place on the lake. A local jewel where fresh made to order food is on point. They have perch and walleye for breakfast...which is different. I recommend the walleye over the perch. Servings are not small. The service is always friendly!! read more

Great little diner that serves breakfast all day. I had the country breakfast this afternoon, it's a mix of home fries, onions, green pepper, bacon and cheese. I had them add the sausage gravy and chose wheat toast. It was perfect in my eyes. I ordered the whole order, not the half, it's a lot of food and couldn't I finish it all. My brother had the sausage gravy and biscuits which he said was great. Our service was outstanding also, the two ladies and the older gentleman that helped us were personable and professional. I will definitely go back to try their Rueben or Patty Melt. read more

No place to check in. Extremely rude workers who said we were gonna kick you out if you didn't leave. I wanted try an American styled break feast diner but I guess Indian people can't. Depressing vibe. Don't go there. read more

Andrew, seven of our closest friends, and I spent the weekend in Buckeye Lake for our joint bachelor(ette) party. We stopped by Our Lakeside Diner on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. We ordered a wide variety of food between the nine of us, but everything came out hot and mostly together. Andrew ordered the Country Breakfast topped with cheese, bacon, and sausage gravy and I ordered the 2x2x2 with a side of toast. Our food was delicious and Andrew said his was the perfect hangover remedy. The reason I gave 4 stars is because the owner wasn't the friendliest and made us feel pretty rushed. We originally called to make sure they could seat all of us, but nobody answered the phone after a few tries. Andrew and I arrived around 12:30pm to see if we could get a table. Once we did, I drove back to pick up half of the crowd while the rest drove in a second car. While I was gone, Andrew said the owner came up on more than one occasion and asked if we were actually coming or not because they were closing. Since they closed at 2pm and we all arrived just before 1pm, this rubbed us the wrong way. read more

kicked us out because "we had an Indian with us". I don't know about the food because they kicked us out before we could be seated. very awkward when you walk in aswell. read more

Adorable. This place has its local charm. Let me start off by saying the portions are huge for a great price. The country scramble is a 1/2 size!!!!!! I always finish breakfast but had leftovers of these. Very small town old school watering hole vibes here. The tyoe of place where the waitress's call you "baby". Great breakfast and better prices. I'll have to try their lunch options! read more
