Shout out to Lakes Tavern for great food and friendly service. We've eaten a Lakes Tavern several times this summer and each visit was better than the next. The menu offers several choices that are unique to the area. In addition to standard "Up North" fare like burgers, there are several Asian inspired dishes that are really good. We've been to sushi night and it really is the best sushi up here (not many options - but it's solid). I've been on a Tuesday and had the Kung Pao Chicken special which is great, and last night we came in and I had the Thai Green Curry which was flavored just right. My husband had the walleye and Jody suggested he order it broiled and he raved about it. Service is super friendly - Jody was a delight, and Tracy and Ryan behind the bar are always friendly and make great drinks. Highly recommended. read more

Teddy Roosevelt. Mint julep. Buffalo trace bourbon. Very good Scotch eggs $16. Very nice version with a nice spice hit in the sausage. Emily Greens Banh Mi $16. Great bread. Ingredients were not as bright as some I have had but all seemed fresh and good. Server Tiara W did a nice job. read more

Walleye sandwich with onion rings & Cobb salad. Both were delicious. Be warned the Cobb salad is a very generous portion. Good ambiance and excellent service. Waitress was friendly and attentive. We really liked the batter coating on both the fish and onions. read more

Excellent lunch experience in my first visit to this institution. Had the Walleye Legacy Sandwich and a crock of the French Onion Soup on a quiet Tuesday. Excellent service from Angela (also tending bar) while the Walleye was perfectly breaded and prepared. French Onion soup was delicious. Will definitely come back in the evening with this great Bourbon lineup! read more

Amazing food and staff! Thr blue cheese burger was sooo good and, the best onion rings that ive had anywhere in years. Very nice, clean, and classy. Will definitely go back! read more

Sadly not up to par. Very expensive, poor service and not what we are used to. We will try again.

Lakes Tavern continues to get better. We have had several stays recently and loved all of our food. The Blackened Grouper is very nice. Good sized portion with a decent amount of heat. The Jambalaya is very tasty with a lot of depth and makes for a hearty meal. The burgers are all good. The salads are well made with excellent dressings. The spicy Thai salad remains spicy in a good way, but beware. My only issues are small and mostly involve the drinks. They really need big ice cubes a a few more good, classic cocktails. Also the noise level remains high in the main room, but seems better than before. read more

Service? Amazing. Food? Delicious. Drinks? Perfect. After a long day out on the boat, and all of the restaurants on the lake having a 1+ hour wait, my family of 6 was happy to find the Lakes Tavern without a wait. We were quickly seated, and had the most lovely waiter. She was knowledgeable, but honest. Which we always appreciate. My family shared the cheese curds - very flavorful! My family ordered the following: fettuccine x2, seafood linguine, dive in burger, petite sirloin, & the spicy Thai Salas. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Probably the best burger I've had. I ordered custom. With onion rings. Patio is amazing up north feel. Dianne was awesome. Dogs welcome on patio. Nice up north feel. Great food and drinks. read more

Super service, we had the homemade soup of the day. Great.Pull Tabs & Great Drinks. Wonderful Variety on the Menu.

We really liked the Lakes Tavern and have gone to it many times. But since the owner built the Riverside Tavern they have jacked up the prices for their food a lot and their drink prices as well. Last year my wife and had a very nice steak and shrimp dinners that now the prices has gone from around $28 to $34 for shrimp and the steaks are now at $51 and $56. We may stop by for a burger but we can still get affordable dinners else where. You don't make a high end restaurant, just by increasing the prices! read more

Great food, great drinks, nice atmosphere, and Steak sandwich is a must try!!! Really convenient location to Gull lake. read more

Interesting menu. Nice place, nice atmosphere. Service was good. Food was ok. I would try it again.

We were at the restaurant on a Thursday mid-afternoon. I had the Tav Burger with onion rings. It was very good! My wife had the walleye sandwich with onion rings. She agreed that the onion rings were very good, but said her walleye was fair. The service was good. The ambiance of the restaurant could be better. The dining area is wide open and could use more character to improve the ambiance. read more

The Caesar's salad was tiny servred on a small plate. The crab cake were HORRIBLE. Very fishy tasting and expensive.

Everything was fantastic! I was so pleased with the service, and also the food! I will be back again soon! read more

First time I've ever been there, looked to be either new or remodeled. It was a clean and nice, staff was very friendly. They were out of some items but understandable, I ordered the steak sandwich and it was amazing ! Sandwich was loaded with steak cooked exactly as I ordered, mushrooms and grilled onions. The service was excellent, I will definitely be coming back ! read more

Nice place. Great staff, great service and really great food. The Onion rings and the walleye fingers are amazing

Nancy and Diane are the best!! The scotch eggs, whitefish dip and grouper sandwich were the best!!!

GREAT Walleye! Sat in the bar - wonderful service- just the right place to have dinner with friends!

Food is very good. Service needs improvement. Maybe growing pains? A bit noisy. 2 hours for dinner. read more

4 of us had the Seafood Linguine, a burger meal and the jumbo shrimp and two appetizers. They all were delicious and reasonably priced. In a resort area that serves a lot of typical bar food this was such a nice change. We will definitely be returning. Our server Sonja was so pleasant and attentive, she really added to our experience. read more

Outstanding food and service. We enjoyed the entire experience. Can't wait to go back!
