We were in town for a wedding and had 19 people in our group. We called ahead and they had tables waiting for us. I think between us all we covered most of the menu. Everyone was happy with their meal. I recommend the corn nuggets for a unique appetizer. I would tell you it’s a dry county so bring your own libations.
The staff are just great out going and personable. There is not a lot of other dinning out options so it can get crowded. There are outdoor dinning tables that come with nice views.
The road in also lends it self to many different exotic cars.

Really good food, super friendly staff. They don’t sell alcohol, but the venue is BYOB.

Their trout sandwich with the fries green tomatoes was nothing short of incredible!

Also their wings were perfectly crispy.

I didn’t get to try the nachos, but the looked like a must try!

Lakes End Coffee and Grill is a charming spot for a relaxed brunch, tucked away in a peaceful lakeside setting. Be sure to ask for a table with a view of the lake—it adds a beautiful, serene backdrop to your meal.

I highly recommend the steamed trout served with rice and steamed vegetables. It’s a light, healthy option that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Their sandwiches are also a hit—huge portions that are perfect for sharing, especially if you’re looking to sample more from the menu.

Whether you’re fueling up before a hike or winding down for a quiet lakeside meal, this spot is well worth the visit. Great food, friendly service, and unbeatable views.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. You HAVE TO sit outside to get the full effect. The inside is small, crowded and noisy but the deck out back is a delight as it overlooks the lake and the beautiful grounds. Both the service and food were excellent and I really can’t wait to go back. I’d love to rent a boat and go out to the lake, looks magnificent

Lakes End Cafe and Grill offers a delightful dining experience. The service is impressively quick, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. Laura, in particular, stands out as an amazing waitress, providing top-notch service with a smile. The restaurant maintains a high standard of cleanliness, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. You can dine inside or out on the covered porch while enjoying a view of the lake. Highly recommended!

This place is a hidden gem! Food was amazing, people were friendly, and the view was beautiful. Great atmosphere overall. Will definitely be ordering some “Pizza by Boat” before I head home.

If you come here, come hungry! We were out for a day of riding with some friends. This place was suggested to us and the reviews looked great. We were very pleased! Everything was delicious and large portions. The street corn was fantastic! Our friends had never eaten it before and were skeptical to try it, but learned just how tasty it Is! All of us talked about how good the food was. My only (minor) complaint was, the ribs were a little fatty and a little tougher than I like….but cooking myself, I understand that this is minor. The taste was fantastic and nit overly covered with sauce.
