I ordered a very basic club sandwich. It was very good, made well, and presented well. Our waitress was very friendly and took her time with us. You could tell the rest of the customers were regulars by the way they family style bantered with the staff and the staff called the customers by name. Very friendly environment.

We went on a Sunday Drive and found the Lakeville Family Restaurant. We were quickly seated and our drink order was taken. My friends ordered Rasberry Tea. On the first sip, one gasped. "This is real brewed TEA!" All throughout our meals they talked about this being the best. We all ordered omlettes. They were served quickly and the care in plating and presentation was superior to an average dinner. We loved the food and plan to visit again.

Jack, Ken and Steph’s Breakfast Review took us to Lakeville, NY to the Lakeville Family Restaurant. A family owned diner that is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Small diner but very clean and bright with a nautical theme. Amy the waitress was super friendly and kept the coffee coming. Breakfast was delicious. Chris makes a delicious omelette. The hash was from a can but it was super crispy the way hash should be. The portions were good and the price was fair. I didn’t mention how delicious the coffee was. Ken paid forward for a Veteran’s breakfast. So, if you’re in Lakeville and it’s breakfast time, stop in and eat here !!!
