This place has a fun relaxing environment. Hannah was wonderful and she took over a shift after 7-8pm. She was hardworking and super friendly and helpful. I loved her drinks. The pizza had fresh ingredients and had plenty flavors. The salad mix greens was great with their vinaigrettes dressing. Of coarse my date got red vinegarete and I got white. Both dressing were refreshing.

After hearing so many good things about this place, I was finally able to go. We got there about an hour after they opened and luckily it wasn't packed. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, hot honey chicken wings and the barbacoa grilled cheese. I loved every single thing. The food is just so dang good that no other bar can top this place.

We grabbed some dinner. Great family times. Great food. The ricotta cheesecaake was amazing. Pictures speak for themselves. We also had some spicy wings. Plump and Juicy. Fresh fried mozzarella. Not pictured a spaghetti combo with meatballs and a salad & some french onion soup. Great meal as always.

Let me be honest. We came to go to happy hour at another place that is VERY close. Their bar was full so we came here Our bartender, Kenny, was awesome. His drinks were on point and he let us know about the appetizers! He was friendly and working hard We had a bunch of appetizers. The meatballs are SOO good. Also had the Queso fundido which was the best Queso I have ever had (and I'm a foodie)! I could have eaten it with a spoon!!! GET THIS!! Had the French onion soup - after I was told that it's the absolute best around and that people drive here for it!!!! It was good, but I don't have to have it. Hubs got a five cheese flatbread. It was very good Hubs said Black Manhattan is FANTASTIC I tried several martinis, all were good. My favorite was the Italian 75, but I had it made with vodka instead of Gin

Found this place on Yelp and was really looking forward to trying the Walleye tacos. I must admit they were a bit disappointing. The slaw was delicious but overload the taco in volume and flavor. There was a small fried roll-shaped piece of walleye at the bottom but I honestly couldn't tell you what the walleye itself tasted like. The mushroom flatbread with balsamic glaze was the complete opposite! It was a round flatbread, which was surprising but that could be usual for the area. It was very generously topped with so many delicious mushrooms! The restaurant area couldn't accommodate a party of two so we sat in the bar. It's an attractive space with a large stone fireplace and tables as well as bar seats. The service was friendly, quick and accommodating. There were three large screen TVs with sports on each one and a good size crowd for a Wednesday night, but we had no trouble having a normal volume conversation. Cool place overall despite the disappointing walleye tacos. I highly recommend stoping in for a pint of the Masthead Haunted Hayride Pumpkin Ale!

Jake's On The Lake - Fried shrimp platter

Jake's On The Lake

Decided to try this place as we wanted to take a drive and get some fish. I will say the name is…read moredeceptive. It should be named "Jakes near the Lake" but we could not of had a better experience. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Sarah, was awesome. She was attentive and extremely pleasant. Now to the food. We got the platter and got to sample most of the fish they have, except for the salmon. I will say it was delicious. Wasn't a fan of the fries, but that's on me because I don't like fresh cut fries. The drinks were great. My wife got a pear martini and it was delicious. I would def recommend this place for anyone in the area wanting some great food.

We never had been here before, so we drove out and found ample parking and a very nice restaurant…read more We were surprised that Jake's was NOT on the lake, but across the street from the lake. If you're going for a lake view restaurant, this wasn't it. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. Seated by the window, we were pleased by the menu and the daily specials. Our server was very prompt and courteous. We ordered the walleye sandwich and the perch sandwich. Both sandwiches came with hand cut french fries and coleslaw. Our son ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup. Our food arrived very promptly. My wife and I both loved the fish and felt that it was one of the best fish sandwiches we've had in a long time. The fries were rather limp and could use some more attention by the kitchen to make them stand out more. I like a mayo based coleslaw, so I didn't really love the slaw, although it was fresh and tart. The soup was very tasty and the grilled cheese was done just right! Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and we can tell that the local crowd likes this place and has kept it in business for a long time. Now if they only had that lake view restaurant!
