    Great food, great service, friendly family-owned business. The food is locally sourced and prepared exactly as ordered. Please note, LBT is under new ownership so the menu and vibe are different (BETTER!)

    Shroom and swiss truffle burger
    Tracy H.

    Went here for my cousins graduation and it wasn't too busy ((thank goodness!)) but there was a really good happy hour going on. $5 for a lake burger!!! What??!! The fries were done really well, their homemade ketchup was really a good compliment to the dish. Their mushroom and Swiss burger was good but I didn't really get a lot of truffle in the burger. It's ok, it was good anyways. The burgers were moist and done really well. The buns are the stars of the show in my opinion. The ambiance was a really relaxed setting. Service is good and the guy was really patient for a group of 7 people. Recommend this place for families and chill dates.

    Portobello burger
    Lakisha M.

    Yuuuuummmmmm!! Me and hubby finally had the opportunity to get out for a lunch date. I've been dying to try this location because I've heard about the burgers. I had the portobello burger, and hubby had a large olive burger. The food and drinks were great. The ONLY complaint I have is that the buns are just absolutely too big for the burgers. The service was good and the food was even better! This is a great lunch spot. I will definitely be back. GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS THEY SLAP!!!

    Cuban Sandwich
    Jim P.

    Nice little place on Westnedge. Food was really good, hot and flavorful. The Cuban Sandwich could be ranked up there with the best in the area. The Old Fashioned was decent but was not the best I've ever had. The service was good. It's basically order at the counter and they bring your food out. Overall I'd head back for a Cuban or Burger I'm the future.

    Lake Bacon (L) Lake Burger(R)

    Went here for dinner with my bf. Service from the start was awesome! Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing! I got the Lake Burger, tasted great, bf got Lake Bacon and he had no complaints! Plus the truffle fries which are a MUST. Cute date night or even a family dinner place. Prices were reasonable. Will absolutely be back!

    BBQ Bacon & Blue Burger and Boardwalk Fries.
    Alex R.

    I had high hopes for this place. The menu isn't bad, it just seems like someone tried too hard to create something different. We waited 40 minutes on a Sunday evening for two burgers. Our friends ordered before us and they received and ate their meals before we got ours. They are because their burgers were getting cold. We didn't order anything complicated but it just took FOREVER!!! It wasn't really busy either. You would think a burger joint would be pretty quick about making burgers. The BBQ Bacon and Blue was alright, nothing really special about it. Typical bun and the bbq was watery, more than normal BBQ sauce. The Board Walk fries are nothing to brag about. It would take some selling to get me to come back. I don't know how to word this but one of the gals working up front clearly doesn't believe in a bra and has her nipples pierced on a cold day. Seriously? Thankfully, we didn't bring our kids.

    Steak frites! Fantastic!

    Yikes. This place has some decent reviews so we gave it a shot…read more Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered some beers they were excellent!! Our chicken pesto panini sandwich was terrible. The chicken was old. It was dry and it tasted like dirty refrigerator. Server was pleasant enough and we wanted to make sure she knew we knew it wasn't her fault cuz some people are just jerks like that. We were turned off from the sandwich and didn't want it remade so we ordered some spinach dip. It came out so fast!! And it was. Seriously we both just cringed. The artichoke hearts weren't probably cleaned so the tough spiky bits were in the dip. But the worst part was the chips served with it. They were clearly reheated and the smell of dirty/rancid oil hit my nose before my tongue. We moved the dip around the plate to look like we ate some. Grabbed the check and ran!! Could we have talked to manager? Sure. But 2 meals out of 2 were bust we didn't want to deal with it. And given we'd sent our fist meal back we figured if a manager was interested in our experience they would have come out right away. There's so many great options in the area we don't need to go back. Hope your experience is better than ours!!

We stopped by around 1 PM on a Saturday! It was super busy and packed! I love that it's family-friendly! It was fun seeing all of the kids running around and playing games - there are SO many games (two full rooms) from air hockey to arcades games to darts to duckpin bowling to pinball machines to pool tables - they literally have it all! Our daughter enjoyed playing ALL the games while my husband and I enjoyed our beer flights and waited for our food! Food: Our daughter ordered the Kids Mac and Cheese with Kettle Chips. The mac and cheese was cold and dry and her kettle chips were cold and stale. She did not enjoy her meal at all! I wonder if her food sat out while my husband and I's food was being prepared as my kettle chips were more fresh and actually tasted good! I ordered the Cuban with Kettle Chips. This was probably the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had (and I have had quite a few Cuban sandwiches in my lifetime)! The pork was smoked and absolutely delicious and tender! They were not skimpy on the pork either (like some other restaurants can be when ordering a Cuban sandwich)! The bread was perfectly toasted too! My husband ordered Buffalo Wingdings. These were perfectly smoked and fall-off-the-bone good as well (maybe a little too fall-off-the-bone for a wing though)! However, the chicken wings still tasted great! Drinks: My Flight - Straight Forward, Grandpa's Hard, Bad Adz, BBA Wizard Potion, and Bogged Down. Husband's Flight - Stained Glass, Ripped Right, Bad Add, Rogue Red, and Simco. These were all good and we enjoyed them! We will definitely stop by again if we are ever back in the area!

I can honestly say this sandwich is exactly what you are looking for in a Chicago style Italian Beef. The bread, definitely sliced beef, the giardinera peppers and juice is perfection. The fries are crispy and well seasoned crinkle cut fries. The service is friendly and the order came quickly. I can't wait to come back and try other menu items.

I also liked the art on the walls, as it really brightened the restaurant up. There was only one other table occupied when I came in, which I assume was because I came in about 11:15. Overall I really liked the food, employees and atmosphere. I can definitely see myself coming back.
