Gluten free review: We stopped at Fargher Lakehouse on a whim while passing through, with the usual gluten-free prayer of Please let there be something besides a salad. And guess what?! THEY HAD OPTIONS! We ordered the cheeseburger with coleslaw and the shredded brisket sandwich with tater tots, both on gluten-free buns. I have to mention Alyssa, our waitress, because she was SO nice. We had questions about what was gluten free, what has spice, and whatever else could and couldn't have, and she was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding about all of it. When you have food restrictions, having someone who doesn't make you feel like you're conducting a federal investigation just to order lunch is always appreciated. The brisket got a respectable 4/5, but that regular ol' cheeseburger?! Listen. Sometimes a burger doesn't need a fancy name, seventeen toppings, or to be stacked six inches high like it's applying for a building permit. Sometimes you just need someone to make a cheeseburger REALLY well. They accomplished making it delicious. The burger tasted fresh, it was cooked perfectly, and that gluten free bun was toasted just right. I had the sauce removed because I can't do spicy, and I didn't miss it one bit. We walked in hoping I'd find something I could eat and walked out saying, "Well... I guess we're coming back for that burger." Honestly, the cheeseburger alone is worth the trip. Fargher Lakehouse, you got us. We'll be back. Ps thank you for not charging us for the bun and making us feel like the normal folk. read more

Second time here, and second time I had an excellent experience. Went at 10 o'clock right when they opened and was able to sit out front since we had our dog with us. Amber, the super waitress, brought Dave, he's the dog, not the husband, bacon and made friends with him right from the get-go. They have lots of space out here and water for the pups so it's really pet friendly. Anyway, back to our experience. Amber brought me delicious coffee, which I fully enjoyed, and it was not a long wait at all for our breakfast to arrive. My husband had the classic: scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast and enjoyed his. I had the half order of chicken fried steak and it was not only very tasty but also an enormous portion, and comes with their breakfast potatoes that include candied green peppers that are not hot at all. It also came with a piece of butter sourdough toast. It's a bit of a drive from our place in Woodland to get here, but I highly recommend it if you don't mind a little drive on picturesque country roads. Both breakfast and lunch menus offered from 10 AM to 2 PM daily read more

I had just moved into the area and was excited to try this local restaurant, but I was disappointed with the quality of the food. I've only eaten there once, but the steak dinner I ordered was extremely tough. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Once put into context, this is a very nice place! Prices are good, wait staff super friendly and accommodating. Nice comfortable tables and spacious layout. Food wasn't stellar, but absolutely good. Guten-free option available. Considering the location, this is a wonderful option to have! read more

Excellent service! Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will be returning in the near future.

Breakfast... Coffee was watered down brown liquid. Incorrectly made? Quality of beans/grounds? Waffle was child portion for $xx. for adult. Brisket tasted like pastrami and gravy was poorly seasoned and virtually inedible. Setvice was ok, only 1other table there. Building decor nice. You have lost my recommendation until above is addressed for breakfast or brunches. Lived in this area for 30+ years. Cost must equal QUALITY and PORTION. especially with the inflation higher standard of living we all have to endure. read more

Service was terrific! Ordered 2 pizzas, that were good. As was the salads. However, both the clam chowder and the brisket sandwich were not great. But we will give them the benefit of the doubt and we will return. Being the other food was good and the service was nice, we might have chosen the wrong night to order what we did. We will try their cheeseburger and the Reuben the next time. read more

They just started making amazing milkshakes. Both child friendly and adult shakes. A perfect consistency. And delicious. We tried the vanilla with chocolate drizzle and a huckleberry shake. Both were excellent. read more

Top 5 Absolute WORST dining experiences my husband and I have EVER had. After we were seated, three other tables were seated, and had their orders placed before we were even given the opportunity to place a drink order. 40 minutes after we were seated, our appetizers arrived. $14 for TWO fritters and another $10 for 6 cold mozzarella sticks. Meanwhile, the tables seated after us were already getting their meals .... Finally, over an hour after placing it, our order shows up. Not only was it NOT what we ordered, it was burned! But by the time a server came back to check on us it had been another half an hour. In the end, we refused the order. They charged us for the appetizers and ine drink, we were not compensated. We spent $29 and change on 2 appetizers and wasted an hour and a half at this place before driving across the street to a market and getting a frozen pizza for $11. I will never EVER eat at FL again. read more

We don't have too many options in North County when it comes to dining out, but I'm glad that we have Fargher Lakehouse. It's clean, friendly, and more upscale than the typical bar & grill that we usually have. The food and drinks are really good, and only cost a little bit more than driving into town. I'd rather save my time and my gas and support a local business than drive 20 minutes away to get to the next closest place. The burgers and fries are delicious and the cider on tap was very refreshing. read more

Food is amazing service is great. Love the interior great Ambiance. They make the best burgers and fries not greasy at all. read more

Brunch was amazing! Service was friendly and quick. There was many tasty options. Definitely going back soon!

First time here and was nervous with recent reviews but it was a great dinner. Definitely going back during the summer for a breakfast before the lake. read more

Had the Pollock fish and chips-fries were great, fish-meh not a crispy coating and a bit greasy. Side salad was good. Steak Mac&Cheese was outstanding as was dessert. Service was pretty good. Beautiful building and nice drive to visit the restaurant. read more

Fargher Lakehouse is so charming! We stopped in for breakfast before a day of exploring and we didn't want to leave. The menu is simple but they have something for everyone. I wasn't a big fan of the French toast, but the pancakes made up for it. I would recommend you stop here for the dining experience and not necessarily the food; a casual, laid back ambiance with great service. read more

My son and I had a very nice breakfast here! Food was fresh, cooked expertly and really hit the spot. Our server was super cute and friendly , always there to fill the coffee cups. I will definitely return! read more

Alyissa is a star. She is joy with feet and a great giggle and a super wait person. She is worthy of a 25%tip.

Nice place for a good drink and some yummy food. Prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food and service are good. The dining room is open and the seating is comfy. read more

Good food, reasonable prices, nice people, and on the night we were there, live local music. A very nice experience. Big fan!

Very good food. A good change on the menu. attentive staff. Family friendly atmosphere with country styling.

56 dollars for 2 cheese burgers and fries bring your wallet, you can drive to yacolt or battleground and still save money it is way to over priced read more

I can't believe how amazing the dining experience here is! From the drinks, ther service, everything was fast and so delicious. Low music playing huge tables it's so cozy here. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place read more

So super unfortunate as this place is only 1 mile from our house. Finally something delicious pepperoni pizza! Tonight- different story. Def not the same. Under cooked, pepperoni no longer crispy on the edge's, sauce is different too. The sauce was the reason I LOVED this pizza. Not to mentioned to service fee for getting 'to-go' pizza. :-( read more

Service was great! I waited for a friend to join me for quite some time and really got to know the wait staff. Friendly and very personable. Food was pretty good. Like several reviewers before me very small portion sizes. It's not a cheap date night hahaha bill came to just over $100 for the 3 of us. That did include two desserts and soft drinks so not horrible. Bacon wrapper meatloaf was not really my cup of tea but I could see people liking it. Not huge slices but it was filling. Sweeter than I thought it would be with the sauce. Calamari was spot on and if I were to go back would order again. The burger was your typical burger. Better than fast food for sure! My phone died before the dessert pictures:( read more

Came here a while back just to try it. I think 35 bucks for ribeye and sides is a great price. Followed directions and didn't murder the meat so I was happy. Side were fine. Service was attentive. Drinks were good I like the prices for bottles of wine, they don't cost an arm and a leg. Ambiance is chill, well it was chill the night we went. Kid friendly. Offered a kid menu which is cool. A little out of the way but fine for lunch or dinner if your close enough. read more

Had dinner here last night and I got the spicy Cajun Alfredo. It was not spicy at all and had very few pieces of meat. The sauce and noodles were good but I was expecting spicy. The vegetables had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. My husband had the chicken fried steak and said it was good. read more

I've eating here several times and typically experience very slow service. The last time we went we stood at the door waiting to be seated. No one came. I went into the bar and found the server. She didn't offer to help, just said she would be with us shortly. We stood around for several more minutes and finally left. There were two people at the bar and no one else in the dining area. This was on a Saturday evening! Past dining experience have been hit and miss. Food is barely acceptable. Service is always slow! We will never go back! read more

I've been going there with family and friends since they opened. Originally excellent food, service and atmosphere. Really wanted to see it succeed. Weekend breakfasts were another nice experience. Sadly, all has been lost in the last few years. Food is still good, not excellent, and expensive for what you get. Service has been OK, not great, but tolerable. Owner doesn't seem to care about running all the old regulars away, particularly when he brings in "artists" (often of very questionable talent) to plug in an amped up speaker and blast their songs so loud during the dinner hour that one cannot even have a nice, relaxing conversation with someone sitting with them at the same table. I don't go there much anymore. read more

What happened to Fargher Lakehouse pizza?? It used to be fantastic and now it's completely different. Different sauce, different pepperoni, very skimpy on the toppings and to top it off it was soggy! A whopping $25.33 for a 10 inch pepperoni and pineapple pizza! Just not very good at all! I'm done giving this place my business! read more

After spending the day hiking out at Moulton Falls & Lucia Falls we were ready for "lupper" and stopped in around 4 p.m. on a Saturday. There were a few other customers there and the food came out fast. Our server was very nice and checked on us just the right amount and never let our water glasses get low. Having skipped lunch we were starving and shared the Lakehouse Spinach Dip w/Smoked Salmon...wow, is that tasty with plenty of chunks of smoked salmon in it and served with grilled naan bread. We also split the Club Sandwich w/slaw and they were nice enough to put it on 2 plates and we both got a heaping helping of slaw and pickle spears. The sandwich was STACKED...chock full of fresh ingredients and very good. Of course, that was too much food for the two of us so we ended up taking about a 1/2 cup of the dip home and half the sandwich & slaw. They even have little paper cups with plastic lids to take home the "wet" leftovers, which was a bonus. read more

Fargher Lakehouse, a charming lakehouse full service restaurant out in the woods. No there is no longer a lake though there once was one. What remains is the most charming log cabin restaurant with the friendliest staff. Seriously, each time I go there I almost get ready to go home with the waitress thinking she must be my long lost sister, each time, with each wait personnel! One of the waitresses even told us the most amusing and personal story when I asked if she had any beer recommendations from their full service bar...and she told us about the time her husband asked her to be a judge in a beer tasting contest, which by the way she does not enjoy drinking. Won't spoil the punch line but it was funny! Wish I could remember her name...though do remember she is originally from California and transplanted in the area many years after meeting her husband. But I digress, the restaurant while comfortable is very nice. The star of course is the food. Delicious and well portioned, every single dish. My favorites being the smoked salmon dip and accompanied by bread, usually fried. One of the friendly regulars gave us a tip that she prefers it served with just warmed up bread, not fried so...we tried it this way the second time visiting and it was delicious also! Also love the fresh fresh seasonal veges...first time brussel sprouts. My friends had the meatloaf, the burgers, some other dishes...and they all looked amazing. I know they were enjoyed because I did not see any leftovers the next day (yes, there was enough to take out)! Fargher Lakehouse has become my favorite restaurant in the nearby vicinity and really the only one I enjoyed so much while I was there! Do yourself a favor and be sure to stop in ! read more

Poor everything. Avoid at all costs. I'm telling everyone I know not to go there!!! Overpriced and service is horrible!!

Hours are all over place have tried to eat here at least 5 times. Finally stopped today says open at 3 waited a few minutes after - finally we are going to be able to try the food - NOPE! Only 4 happy hour items on the menu til 4 - all fried foods! Asked the server if there were salads or other items - she said she didn't know it was only her 3rd day....We left guess not meant to be to eat there. I will give 2 stars for the place being clean and people friendly. Had high hopes to try their food. read more

No sign out front or in back! How does anyone driving by know that this is even a restaurant? Want more customers well maybe not! We were the only couple in the place with one man at the bar! Go figure! Excellent food and service. Had the Butternut Squash Ravioli and. Burger! Would come again if we're in the area! Love the County Western music too! read more

I'm giving it a 4 star because I'm like the Paula Abdul on Yelp... I would like to start off with how cool and unique this place is considering that it's in a rural area. The food is very good but the starters seems a bit small. For example, we ordered the Beer Cheese plate, that comes with a beer cheese fondue, a pretzel, small bites of steak and caramelized pieces of apple. The plate itself was very flavorful which was a plus, however, the size was a negative. The drinks were very good, they were strong but they were good, so that is a plus. The negative side is that it took 20mins (and I know because I decided to start timing after 10mins - after the order)... It took a very long time for the drinks to come and when they did; about 10mins later we received our main plates. Something you should keep in mind is that it's expensive. For example, I spent a total of $89 on 3 mixed drinks, a beer, an appetizer and two of their main plates which was a burger w/fries and a tuna melt w/salad. CONCLUSION TO MY JUDGEMENT: * Nice environment * Good food & drinks * Slow service * Expensive read more

Quality food. The best experience along with excellent service. I would recommend, the drive is worth it.

We came across this place when we were out exploring the outskirts of Battleground...It was quite a surprise. The decor and atmosphere was very upscale. The service was excellent ...food was wonderful. Highly recommend it...We will be back - with family & friends read more

Awful food, best thing on both plates were the green beans.....we really wanted to like it.....2 stars for cleanliness and live music, but can't go back without better food offerings. read more

The Lakehouse is fairly new. We hadn't stopped before because we thought it was just a tavern. Boy, were we wrong! This is the best restaurant in north Clark County. Who would have thought you could find a real chef and this kind of food in such a small community. The inside is gorgeous. It's very nicely decorated and the seating is comfortable. We chose a booth. Our order included the meatloaf dinner and the cheese shells. Both were delicious. The meatloaf was absolutely the best I had ever tasted. I had read some of the other reviews and the menu must have changed because I would have been tempted by some of the other offerings mentioned in previous reviews. Hopefully they'll bring some of them back. Great place and we'll be returning. read more
