Rice Lake Family Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Rice Lake Family Restaurant is like slipping into a warm, familiar embrace—where the pace slows just enough to savor a moment of comfort amid the hum of quiet conversations and the gentle clatter of plates. This is a place where families gather, neighbors catch up, and the day unfolds with the easy rhythm of home. The atmosphere is invitingly unpretentious, a blend of classic diner charm and heartfelt hospitality that makes every visit feel like a small celebration of togetherness.
The heart of the experience here is the food, thoughtfully prepared and served generously, inviting you to linger over each bite. Morning light spills softly through the windows, illuminating tables piled high with heaping pancakes, eggs cooked just the way you like, and the rich scent of freshly brewed coffee that seems to beckon both early risers and those savoring a slower start. As the day moves on, the menu shifts with equal warmth—from comforting chicken dumpling soup to hearty sandwiches and plates layered with both family favorites and unexpected touches that keep regulars returning.
There’s a quiet joy in watching families and friends share moments here, whether it’s a local regular settling into a Bacon Skillet with poached eggs or a group drawn together by the allure of homemade pie and a friendly smile. The welcoming tones of the staff and the carefully maintained, homey ambiance invite you to relax and feel at ease, making time between meals feel just as satisfying as the dishes themselves.
Rice Lake Family Restaurant feels less like a stop on the map and more like a small discovery—an experience that captures the simple pleasure of good food, reliable comfort, and authentic human connection all wrapped into one unassuming, cherished spot on Main Street.

You better be hungry if you order the 2+2+2. The pancakes are huge and delicious, eggs cooked to order and choice of meat. Coffee was good too. Definitely a typical family style restaurant, clean and friendly. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

Our group of 8 really enjoyed our breakfast here. The Rice Lake Omelette was fantastic.

Always delicious food served hot and portions are generous! I have always have friendly, prompt service. The menu offers a wide variety of food choices from breakfast to seafood. I’m not able to eat them for dietary reasons, but my husband loves the homemade soups! And if you like pie, they offer a lovely selection of pies for dessert. Great place to eat!

We went on a Sunday around brunch. Very busy- but the wait for a table was only about 5 minutes. Our waitress was great! Very efficient and knew the menu well. Attentive but didn’t hover. Our food came out impressively quick! It was pretty good. Like most restaurants, the dishes needed a bit of salt and pepper- but overall cooked well! Just amazed at the speed and efficiency, they really worked together like a well oiled machine!

We’ve been frequenting this restaurant a couple of times a year, over the last few years, every time we come, the service is great and the food is fantastic. It’s really nice when you only visit the area once a year, you know this is the place to come for a great meal. Thank you!
