BREAKFAST STATION
BREAKFAST STATION is a 4.6-star room with a D-grade kitchen — the kind of gap a star rating will never warn you about, which is the whole reason this page exists.
That D comes from 3 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 2 basic violations cited on May 7, 2026. It currently ranks safer than 15% of Lake County restaurants we grade — close to the bottom of the county. If you want the flavor with fewer question marks, the safer-options list below maps higher-graded kitchens within a short drive.

Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Diners rate this place well. The inspector did not. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.7 stars. After that, pacing appears most often — 41% of the corpus, averaging 4.7.
Of the 22 rated reviews, 20 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. A third strand, freshness, appears in 18% of them at 4.3 stars. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (18 reviews).
Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen a D (68/100), with 3 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 2 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. DBPR last walked in on May 7, 2026. That puts it ahead of 15% of graded kitchens in Lake County. The citations behind that grade include food from approved source and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
The practical read: people enjoy eating here, and the kitchen still failed its last inspection. Those are separate claims, and only the second one gets checked by anybody. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

Buen servicio y buena comida

The food was ok hashbrowns were burt this time usually pretty good. The service this time was terrible the waitress kept forgetting things had to tell her our drink orders three times she barely came around to check on us. Took her forever to get us our check blamed other people for not brining it. She forgot our to go items. I have I have had other waitress there that are not to bad. Thought I would give then another chance food was served very cold and service was not good. Closing the chapter on this place was amazing when I first started going here but it is just going downhill.

My husband and recently tried this little breakfast nook. A few neighbors had suggested it. We recently moved to the area and haven't tried many Breakfast restaurants since moving here. The waitress was quick and promptly sat us.Our waitress was very efficient and had a great friendly attitude with a sence of humor making us feel welcomed and at home. Our meal was hot and freshly made and promptly served. The price of our meals were responsible and good sized portions. We will differently will return.

Just finished a really good breakfast here. The garden omelet done just the way I ordered. Husband got the corn beef hash and not as crispy as he likes. He didn’t dislike it, would just try something different next visit. Server Rebecca G. was super sweet.

Had to get my car fixed in 2 visits and the tire place across the street recommended the Breakfast Station while I wait. Second time back and again another great experience eating here. Enjoy!

This is my new go to place for breakfast absolutely amazing. I got the hobo breakfast which is the corned beef and hash with two eggs over medium English muffin and a coffee to go. They were amazing and filled my to go coffee thermos to the top left a little room for cream. Amazing service recognized me as soon as I walked through the door without even knowing me just by my thermos and my special instructions on the ticket. The lady who helped me at the front counter was amazing and very nice. What was equally amazing was the food. The corned beef hash was crispy and delicious the eggs were cooked perfect the English muffin was big and buttery with lots of nooks and crannies. The coffee was delicious. Highly recommended and I will be back do not miss out if you're looking for a delicious breakfast spot with quick friendly service and amazingly delicious food.

The food was good except the bacon was too thin for me. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere needs to be updated. Bathroom was clean.

One of our favorite places!! We absolutely love the food, friendly staff and it's always so clean. Portion size is generous, food comes to you fast and they are quick to check on you and fill up your coffee. We take my elderly mother sometimes and she loves the trains and decor on the walls. My husband loves the Train Wreck, I love the ham & cheese omelette, biscuits and gravy with HOME FRIES YUM! Casual friendly atmosphere with amazing comfort food this is the place to GO!
