We visited around 10 am on a Sunday. It looks like stepping back in time about 40 years and we loved it. The food was great as was the service. The waitress didn't seem bothered at all by needing more time to look at the menu and was over all friendly. We got pancakes and the goatcheese scramble. The portions are small- but it was enough. We were satisfied rather than stuffed. The jam is local too! We'll return when we're in Seattle again.
Like stepping out of the dreary weather into a lakeside Cafe, Lost Lake is a haven at (nearly) all hours of the day! Great food, great vibe, and perfect for filling up or relaxing. They will take care of you no matter what.
This is such a fun place to brunch! I always get their signature Bloody Mary. It's spicy and so delish! The service is always great, and I know that whatever food I order, it will be fresh and flavorful. The staff are always friendly and quick.
A typical diner, open around the clock. The mushroom scramble with Swiss cheese was good. No choice of sides or bread -- came with three small smashed potatoes and two half slices of sourdough(?). No espresso machine and would not bring hot milk for my drip coffee. Our waiter was a bit of a space cadet: he asked if I wanted more coffee but never came back to refill. And he gave me the check, I gave him my credit card, and the signature slip had a total about half the original. I don't even know how you make a Point Of Sale terminal make that mistake. I pointed out the error and he sheepishly corrected it. Many better breakfast choices at 8a on a Friday in Seattle.
If you're an old school, Seattle kid that remembers the new wave scene in the '80s... And the punk rockers and the whole scene on the Ave and Broadway... This is your place. Great food and music that throws back to that era. I had a great time.
Tasty American-style breakfast at relatively cheap cost. Server was also very nice. Felt very welcomed here. Will return!
The food was absolutely excellent! Everything from the hollandaise, to the thick cut bacon, to the luscious carnitas, caffe vita drip and the standout star, the rosemary potatoes, could not have been any better, absolutely delicious! The true star however was the service and our server, Ricardo! Thank you for helping us celebrate a great day and for being an amazing person! Absolutely wonderful dining experience!! 10 stars! 👍👍
I’m posting this because another reviewer took pictures that did not accurately reflect the vibe, atmosphere, and decor of this true diner. It’s warm, cozy, and the people who work here are laid back, and friendly. They work to make your order just what you want (within their ability). We are here every morning we were in Seattle. The food, service, and ambience was excellent, especially when considering the great prices. Do yourself a favor and visit this gem if you are in the neighborhood!
This place was awesome! Great food, fast service and the waiter was very friendly and communicative. The music is perfect and we came around pride month so the rainbows were abundant! 🌈
We arrived around 1 pm here for brunch on Saturday. We didn't had any reservations and needed to wait for 5 minutes as the place was full. We ordered their special crust sandwich, vegetarian huevos rancheros and lost lake french toast. I like all of the food except for salt and spicy. It was a bit bland for me even when i told them to make it a bit spicy. Otherwise the prices are nominal and plenty of vegetarian options.
I got the chicken (country?) fried steak and it was top notch. The fried steak breading was phenomenal! The gravy was also killer to top it all off. The hashbrowns had a buttery flavor to them, which was a nice surprise. Scrambled eggs and toast were also great. Our waitress had only been there a few days and did a fantastic job taking care of us. The price was also very fair for the portions we got. This was my first time visiting here.. I'll definitely be making more frequent visits!!!!
Delicious! Lost lake had some amazing food. I am a southerner and I loved the biscuits and gravy! The service was pretty good and the restaurant was very clean and had a great atmosphere. A great place to relax for a nice brunch in Seattle. I would definitely recommend!
Amazing food and fun atmosphere - I had a great breakfast sandwich, a bit heavy on the ham but the hash browns were perfectly crispy.
My boyfriend had the Philly cheese steak that he has been talking about for days. But I'm like 90% sure the Coke was Pepsi just FYI.
As an individual with chronic illness the bathroom was gnarly and not very friendly but if you're out for drinks on a weekend night it's not going to matter much.
We had breakfast while waiting for my wife's procedure @Swedish hospital.
Our Mushroom and caramelized onion omelet was very good.
Our server was the bartender, she was friendly and attentive.
Thank you.
This was the funnest cafe I have ever been too. The vibe of the place was SO FUN. It's a great place to start your day. I had their biscuits and gravy and let me say WOOOOOW. That was the absolute best breakfast I've ever had. I give it a 10 out of 10 and absolutely recommend it. The folks that work there too are so fun and so nice. They really contributed to the fun and lively atmosphere. If you're visiting totally go here. If you're a local who hasn't tried it yet...get over there. ASAP. You won't regret it!! Also, I didn't pay attention if it has vegan, vegetarian or gluten free options, but I'm sure if you go to their website you can view the menu to find out! 😊
The food is amazing especially the buttermilk pancakes and yummy mashed potatoes. Sausage rocks! The French toast is exquisite. The ambience is cool. Wait staff are warm & friendly.
Back again, during busy Sunday brunch time, on Father’s Day, nonetheless, and the wait staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is all you’ve ever wanted it to be. Can’t say how much this place makes me feel like home away from home.
Returned here for lunch one lazy July Saturday. My meal: a perfectly grilled burger and a substitute of the delicious kale salad for fries. Worth every penny.
