Service is terrible! We were one of the only tables and took forever to even get water. Never was asked for refills or how our meal was. Took forever to get our food. There were two additional staff siting at a back table the bartender had to go ask them to Help. The food was good but service was one of the worst I've experienced. Would give zero stars if this was an option. We took the boat over for a "quick" lunch which ended up taking up most of the afternoon - 3 hours!!! read more

Fantastic burger and fries, and our bartender was amazing. This was a random stop on our way to northern Michigan. It's not very far off the expressway and we will make this one of our regular stops on the way to the great white north. read more

Went to have a nice dinner with family and ended up walking out being unserved due to the staff. Sat down for 35 minutes, waitresses failed to make eye contact after trying to wave them down. Purposely was ignored and tried to be patient and understanding with them but at the end of the day this is ridiculous. There were two waitresses on hand and each one blatantly ignored us but made sure to help other families that came to sit down after us. I am very disappointed! read more

First off start by saying , I'm a huge food critic, but for one beer battered cod dinner and one angry burger with fries , 4 bloody Mary's came to nearly $70!!!!! @ Lake side bar and grill! Like what! I'll start by two weeks ago we ordered two plain cheeseburgers, one fry and it came to $30!!!! I was appalled. I was charged .75 each box for take out as well! Today we needed lunch as we had a really long night and just didn't want to bother, so we decided to go to lake side bar and grill try it again, we each had two bloody Mary's , he ordered the angry burger with fry's and I got the cod dinner to go. Waitress stated rolls did not come with the dinner so I asked could I please get two added I will pay for them she stated yes. Clearly stated yes! While we waited for our food we ordered drinks . The first bloody mayrs were amazing , had the olive , 2 pickle slices a lime and cucumber. Three tables were served in the time we waited for our food and two came in after us! So we ordered another drink, this time no veggies in it just refilled plain. Ok no biggie. Food came we got our bill and it was 67. And some change!!!! Like WTF! So we looked at the receipt we were charged both drinks PLUS each veggie ! Like who does that! And we didn't even get any veggies in our second drinks!!!!! We left I looked at our food and my rolls were missing and we had barely any fry's. I went back asked and she said no we don't even have rolls, I stated mam you clearly told me I could order them separate! I said as well we got barely any fry's. She acted like it was an inconvenience to her! Then while I waited she continued to talk about my complaint to I am assuming her husband. So far after just moving here and being a big food critic for upscale companies I would think a small town and they would treat people not only better , but make sure they are taken care of. Needless to say the fry's we got are way under cooked , burger is way burnt , and my fish is as well. A total waste of $70! We should have just went to Arby's! I will say we have had excellent customer service with only 1 waitress there she is the shorter dark haired lady. She has always been kind. But after two bad experiences I would not recommend this place for food or drinks. read more

Lakeside Bar And Grill - Cod dinner on a Friday , and Angry burger basket. - Seafood Near Me - Lake, Michigan

This place is a classic! Once known as BIG AL's PLACE and reopened as Lakeside Bar and Grill. Same great American food menu. Classic watering hole and family style restaurant. Never gets rowdy just a classic roadside stop. Usually you'll find a bunch of locals sitting at the bar. Lots of TVs for sports and what not. They used to have killer soup and salad bar that came with the larger entrees but with COVID you just get a plain choice of soup OR salad. The soups are homemade. I wish I could talk more about their menu but I go there for the biggest piece of Walleye I have ever seen on a plate. A two foot long fish had to die for your supper! And you get half of it. Lightly breaded in a potato crust and pan fried it keeps the fish moist and you can appreciate the taste of the fish! Served with your choice of veggies or potato any way you want it baked, fries or smashed. I have also had their fried cod it good but probably came off a truck. Maybe it's hand battered ask them. Lake perch is yummy too. Always walk away too stuffed for dessert. read more

Food is good and good Long Island ice cream tea! Go there at least twice a year since it halfway to my grandkids house.

We tried this place for the first time this summer, and it was really good! The perch and fish and chips were excellent! Staff were great as well. This place can get busy quick. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Our large group had a very positive experience here stopping for lunch while on a long bike ride. Our server was helpful and sweet. You can tell they are here to serve their community. The pickle soup was so good!! It was a polish recipe. I also had a burger and chips. The girl across from me ordered the quesadilla which was large and in charge. There's a nice little outdoor seating area with beautiful flowers that looked cozy but we wanted out of the sun. I would recommend stopping here for lunch. read more
