Wake Cafe

Wake Cafe has the best fast food at Smith Mountain Lake! The prices are the same as you would pay at any mainstream fast-food restaurant chain, but the food is SO much better. The Grilled Chicken Avocado Ranch Sandwich is excellent, and the onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. The onion rings were piping hot, and very big, with the perfect ratio of onion and batter. The Greek Salad is another great choice, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service here is always great, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is very pleasant, clean, and well-decorated. The wait for your order is a bit longer than mainstream chains, but the food is definitely worth it. I can not praise Wake Cafe enough. Make sure to stop in during your next visit to the lake.

Admittedly, I am from out of town and was looking for something a little different. By the name Cafe I thought maybe I would find some thing like a home cooked meal from Grandma. While this place was more like a bougie Burger king, it was actually good. I had a burger cooked to Perfection on a roll that is much better than most. The fries were good and the milkshake was delicious. The service was on point.

Today I had lunch at Wake Cafe with my grandson and cousin. My cousin bought my lunch for my birthday, I gave my grandson my debit card to b order his. When they brought my grandsons food, they brought an extra fry, none of us ordered extra fries but he left them anyway. The food was great. As we were finishing the Manager stopped by and asked about the unordered fries, she said we had been charged for them so she woukd refund the money. She brought cash for the fries. I am impressed by the honesty and wonderful customer service.
