I…read morearrived at peak time on Saturday it seemed since the parking lot was packed, and once inside, also packed. It took a few mins to clean the last open table. The menus are on the table but you really don't need a menu here since there are only a few items. Everyone comes here for po-boys obviously and they have a few to choose from. The top 2 choices are the most common, the special and the surf and turf. To me, what makes a good po-boy, is the bread....like many other sandwiches. If you have great bread, you're usually making a good sandwich. I tried the small special, while the rest of the table tried either the special or surf and turf. They don't have a formal kids menu, but they just have either PB&J or grilled cheese. We tried the grilled cheese. My fav ended up being the surf and turf due to it being cleaner to eat and more variety of taste and texture between the bread. I liked the special, but I forgot to ask the server to remove the American cheese, so it made it taste funny and would have been better without it.

There is another restaurant nearby that is similar that I've been going to for year's it's always been my favorite but I must say Cooler's Ice House really out did themselves. Lean Roast Beef, Ham and Turkey soaked in their house made au jus, dressed with 3 cheeses, lettuce, mustard and that delicious jalapeño mayo on a super crusty roll that is source out of Lafayette, Louisiana I'm told, the bread is definitely fifty percent of the sandwich's quality and taste. There were six of us in our party and the table service here was outstanding, Madison our server was on top of everything throughout our visit here. They weren't very busy when we arrived but quickly fill up as time went on - I thought the kitchen was a little slow but everything was well executed and delicious - no complaints from anyone at our table. This is definitely a place I'd return to and it's likely I'd repeat my order exactly, there's no sandwich that comes close to this deliciousness anywhere that I've experienced near my home in Florida - it's great when even the locals whom have access to this place treats it like something special...

The pancakes had such a good flavor, might be a touch of vanilla and the bacon was fried just right...crispy. Best thing, which a lot of places which serve breakfast don't do was the little pod of SOFT butter. Too many places give you ice cold butter to spread on your toast or biscuit or pancake.

Our waiter was extremely attentive, refilling our chips and salsa before we were out, and remembering our specific drink orders for refills. Chips were served warm with three different salsas - a great variety of spices, and warm chips are just my favorite. I got the salmon plate with cilantro rice and lettuce/tomatoes/cheese on the side. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the rice was nice and fluffy. Great portion size as well!! The menu wasn't too big so it was much easier to narrow down on a decision on what to eat. Highly recommend as a quick spot to satisfy any Tex-Mex craving.

What a quite surprise. I wasn't expecting much when I walked in. No offense, Lake Chuck -- but…read moreyou're not exactly known for Mexican food. This place was solid for the location. Did it wow me? No. But it definitely got the job done. Maybe I was starving, but the burrito really hit the spot. The steak was cooked perfectly -- which is rare since it's usually dry and hiding under a blanket of cheese sauce. This one actually had great flavor. The crispy taco, on the other hand, was mid. See that, young kids? I got the lingo. Overall, I'd come back if I'm passing through. Service was great, the bartender was super friendly, and the place is very affordable. Bonus: if you need to charge your Tesla or other electric vehicle (no discrimination here), this is a convenient stop. Cheers, y'all.

I really enjoy hanging out at the M Bar and I visit 2 - 3 times per week while working in the Lake…read moreCharles area. It's a small locally owned and operated bar and grill catering to the locals, but out-of-towners such as myself are always welcome. I visit during happy hours (4:00PM - 8:00PM) and take advantage of the $2.00 bottle beers (12 oz) and the 1/2 priced burgers on Tuesday's and the .75 wings on Wednesday's. On these days and times, the bar in not crowded and it gives me an opportunity to relax and un wine after a long day in the office sitting behind a desk. On occasions, I visit on a Thursday when there is a live DJ, but this place can get very busy as Thursdays seems to cater to the younger crowd. I always feel safe at this spot, and I never worry about trouble or the crowd getting out rowdy of control. The service is on the slower side, but the customer service is awesome due to only having one POS. I highly recommend they install another one to speed up the service. Now the food. I've had the opportunity to taste the wings, the M burger with fries, and the Firecracker shrimp. Everything is cooked to order, well-seasoned, and delicious. The M Burger comes with a custom blend perfectly seasoned patty that covers the entire bun, M bar sauce, white cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and purple onions, and served with hot Cajun seasoned fries. SO GOOD, I order one every Tuesday. After all, where else can I get a good made to order burger and fries for $6.10 plus tax. The wings come in a variety of flavors. They are perfectly cooked to order and no matter what sauce you put on them, they are delicious. They are however, on the small side, but I can't complain, they are very good and at .75 per wing on Wednesday's, you cannot go wrong when paired with $2.00 Bud Light. The Firecracker Shrimp I love me some shrimp and these are to die for. A little pricy for 6 shrimps, but the shrimps are large, lightly battered and fried to perfection, and served with the M Bar's spicy sauce. I believe in supporting small minority owned businesses. Providing them with the opportunity to grow by spending my dollars with them means a lot. But if you're looking for a quite little place to hang out without the large crowds, give the M Bar a try. They even have a nice patio area to hang out on.
