  Great Food, Poor Service. Staff does not greet you when walking in, Servers are not very happy to take your order. Could be a nice place with some staff improvements.

  I had heard the French toast was amazing. I stopped in on a Friday morning. Our waitress was less than pleasant. She never smiled once, not even for the surrounding tables she waited on. She threw down the straws at us. She did check back on us, but still did not smile.
  As for the french toast it wasn't what I was expecting. It seemed as if it was dipped in batter, then deep fried, which left it super crunchy and greasy.
  The bacon was really good though. That was the only plus.

  This is the place for breakfast. The lump crab and cheese (or spinach) omelets are great, as are the breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions and the sourdough toast. For pancake and french toast lovers, the specials include numerous alluring choices (including pumpkin walnut and lemon berry pancakes on this particular visit). Eggs Blackstone are my No. 1 favorite (think Eggs Benedict with US (not Canadian) bacon and a tomato slice); the hollandaise sauce is right on. We were thrilled to find a place at Harveys Lake offering breakfast daily from 7 AM to 4 PM. We were told that the restaurant has been open for a few years, and judging from the crowd, is enjoying great success. We hope to try the lunch and dinner menus soon.

  I've been here a few times with family, since they live not too far from Harvey's Lake. Besides Grotto Pizza, there really is a lack of casual dining along the lake - so I thought Lakeside Skillet would take care of that, but I was sadly mistaken.
  
  This place looks like it would be a cute little spot from the outside, but the decor inside is really unappealing. There's CARPET on the floor - something that really makes me cringe about carpet in restaurants - I can't concentrate on anything else except thinking how much food and particles and gross germs and bacteria could be lingering within its fibers. And to make it worse, it's an anchor-pattered carpet, making it wayyy too busy. The service is OK, the food - not so much. I've gotten the cheesesteak sandwich before and it was SO greasy. Like, drip-down-your-hands greasy. I've also had the spinach artichoke dip, which was more like cream of spinach soup with no artichokes in it, served with disgustingly salty tortilla chips.
  
  Honestly, as much as this place has a great location for being on the lake, it really doesn't even matter since there's no view of the lake from the dining room. The trip out here isn't worth it  - there's plenty of other places in the Back Mountain area to spend your time and money.
