Echo Lake Cafe was first established in 1960 by Dickie Conley and his sister, Betty. The restaurant had a few owners after the Conleys, and in 1996 Bob and Christi Young purchased it. The Youngs spent time fully renovating the building and completely revamping the brand. They used the same logo style and menu from Fire Sign Cafe, their first restaurant, which they owned from 1980-2020 to create the new Echo Lake Cafe.
Both of the Young's restaurants have always involved the family. From their oldest sitting in a highchair in the kitchen at Fire Sign while they cooked, to employing all 3 of them later at Echo Lake Cafe. Amy, their middle child, worked at Echo Lake Cafe starting at just 12 years old. After graduating college, she and her husband, Mark, moved to CA, to run Fire Sign Cafe.

We do not take reservations, just first come, first serve, including all holidays. After over 50 years, we have learned that for our business, we are able to stay more organized and efficient if we do not take reservations. We stick with what we are good at, which is Breakfast and Lunch only.
We do not host/ facilitate any special events during or after business hours (including rehearsal dinners/ brunches, or large group private seatings), nor do we do any catering.We are busy year round, making this a great opportunity for consistent hours, even in the winter!

Acts of Kindness
Report
Since 2017, we have taken a majority of our advertising budget and committed to spending it on, "Random Acts of Kindness" throughout the Flathead Valley. Theses random acts are as simple as buying coffee for the person behind us in line at a coffee stand, paying for a strangers tank of gas, collecting items to give to the Samaritan House, or even covering a pet adoption fee at the animal shelter.
