    This is an awesome family owned business with home-made cinnamon rolls which are amazing delicious! They have mimosas in orange 🍊 or pineapple 🍍. Just remember to show your ID. Come on in and enjoy some wonderful food today!

    Absolutely delicious! Started with the French onion soup and cream of spinach both were fantastic. You could definietly tell they were homemade. The 30 mins we were there they sold 7 Reubens including one to my husband and it was one of the best hes ever had. I had the chicken salad sandwich. It was delicious.

    We stopped here while we were out fishing this weekend and were pleasantly surprised! Don't let the bland store front sign steer you away. Everything here was homemade, fresh and super delicious! First of all, we came in 30 minutes before closing...I know, we are jerks. But Felicia welcomed us and was happy to serve us. I had a sloppy Joe! haha! I haven't had one in forever, let alone at a restaurant and it was delicious! I also had a baked french onion soup which was one of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and his dad had the hot beef and the Greek omelet. The hashbrowns were fresh boiled and shredded potatoes (hard to come by anymore) and the hot beef must have been good because it was a big portion and dad never eats anything and he was scraping his plate clean! On top of great food, they also have coke, pepsi AND RC! How about that! Great service. It felt like family. Very welcoming and friendly. We will be back!

    The Lake Villa Restaurant is a wonderful spot for breakfast. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lovely view of the lake. Their breakfast menu is extensive and diverse, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you're in the mood for a classic American breakfast with eggs, bacon, and pancakes, or craving something more unique like avocado toast or eggs Benedict, they've got you covered. The food is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you have a great start to your day. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast in a beautiful setting, the Lake Villa Restaurant is a top choice.

    Lake Villa Restaurant is a hidden gem of a diner that has been around for over 42 years and is a must try! The homemade soups, pies and cinnamon rolls are so delicious. The food and service is great and I love the old time diner feel which you can’t find anymore. Highly recommend and I would rather support local mom and pop shops like this than chain restaurants. Excellent all around!

    Growing up, Lake Villa Restaurant was a staple in our community. Our family went to this locally owned, independent family restaurant often for breakfast lunch and dinner, as the food was always amazing, the staff friendly, and the other customers truly felt like family and cared for each other. Coming back into town after moving out of state for a few years, we found the same welcoming environment, familiar faces, and amazing food. It was like no time had passed at all and we picked up right where it was left off. If you haven’t been to this gem of a restaurant, stop on by and say hello while enjoying the truly homemade meals. If you are lucky enough to be local come on back and be welcomed into the family! It is truly rare to find this classy style of family restaurant among all of the chain restaurants around. Our family and friends will certainly be back any opportunity we get. Well done.

    Quiet small town diner with amazing food. Put it this way, I worked at both Ihop and Dennys when I was younger, and pancakes were ruined for me for many years. But having breakfast there the other morning, I decided to try pancakes again, and they were incredible! Now I will go in for breakfast once a week
