⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Maja Despot
A slice of heaven on the lake. From the moment we entered we were greeted with a blend of smiles and friendship. The atmosphere is so special, one foot in the door and we felt like members of Manny’s family. The food is amazingggg and Manny does the job of 6 people to make it. What a legend! Unforgettable experience!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brittney Brooks
An unforgettable Galentine’s + birthday experience at Manny’s Snack Shack! We were in Twin Lakes for a Galentine’s getaway with a group of 14 women, and it also happened to be one of our birthdays. We called Manny’s Snack Shack to see if they could accommodate a large group, and from that moment on, the experience was nothing short of AMAZING. This quaint, family-style diner instantly made us feel welcome. The food was incredible, the pancakes deserve their own shoutout (fluffy, flavorful, and absolutely worth the hype and made with LOVE). But what truly set Manny’s apart was the exceptional hospitality and customer service. They went above and beyond to celebrate the birthday, singing happy birthday, playing birthday songs, taking pictures with us, and even surprising our entire group with complimentary birthday cheesecake. As if that wasn’t enough, Manny himself let us take photos on his property across the street, making the whole experience feel personal, joyful, and unforgettable. We left feeling genuinely cared for and so satisfied with our visit. Manny’s Snack Shack didn’t just feed us, they created a memory. We will 100% be back and would honestly come to Twin Lakes again just to visit Manny’s. Highly recommend, this place is a gem 💖🥞
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Starresha Renae
The absolute best! The food and the service was phenomenal and it was a last minute decision for our galentines weekend out in Twin Lakes! So grateful they were able to accommodate 14 ladies so last minute. I had the steak and egg as well as the vanilla cappuccino! The cappuccino was so good I had to have another! Thank you so much for being so kind to us all!

The portion size was a lot of food they gave you.. very quaint little place to eat.. I would definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood. And I'm from Chicago on top of it. Awesome place awesome awesome
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Samantha Kraft
Wow. What a stellar little diner. It gets quite busy in here but it in NO way effects the outstanding service I received today. Ashley was my server and she was polite and prompt. The huevos rancheros was delicious and came to my table almost immediately after being off the grill. The portion sizes are massive; you'll definitely get your money's worth here. 10/10 💯 I can't wait to come back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — John Heinrich
The best diner around! Breakfast portions are belly busters. The hamburgers need to be cut in half just to get it to your mouth! Manny and the servers are so inviting and always having fun together. Great place to eat!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Rachelle Hicks
We loved the unique atmosphere and were warmly greeted. I ordered Huevos Rancheros and my wife a Denver Omelette. Beyond generous portions and was so delicious! Open kitchen. The music was club music which I found odd and appropriate. Great place, highly recommend. Come hungry!
