There is indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is limited. They do have a small dock you can pull up to if you're coming from the lake, but it probably can't accommodate larger boats or multiple boats at once. The candy selection has decreased over the years but they do have a fun options of candy, chocolate and ice cream! It can get pretty busy in the evenings and on warm days, but the line moves quickly and the staff is always welcoming and efficient.

It's just a roadside bar/ restaurant. We were there in the winter so a lot of snowmobiles had stopped to eat. The pan seared scallops seemed out of place but looked so good. I'm glad I went with it. I love celery root puree and the greens and bacon just brought it to a new level! My husband enjoyed the huge braised beef shank. I would highly recommend. Service was great as well and the prices were right.

Ordered the curry cauliflower, cherry and almond appetizer it was was good however being from the Caribbean I couldn't taste the curry but I love cauliflower and it was a nice combo just needed a little more flavor. The salad was good and the dressing was homemade and delicious. Our soup tasted great as well. The prime rib was good and the mushrooms were awesome because they were real mushrooms. The only problem was my prime rib was cold, I let the waitress know and they gave us a discount. My partners prime rib was perfect. The service was great our waitress to good care of us and the restaurant was clean and our table was clean and quiet. We will definitely go there again to try some other things on the menu.

Someone needs to do quality control. Those ribs should not have been served. The baked potato option was good the brocolli option was bad, tasted odd left it on the plate. Mentioned it to the server with no response. The salad I had was a little wilted and one piece of greens was black and shriveled on the end of one of the stems. The old fashions were spot on. The bartender, he's top notch. Service was just okay nothing special. This will be the last time for Thursday nite special for us. The meals alone were 54 bucks and the only good part of the meal was the bread and broasted chicken which were both prepared fresh. Their Sunday all you can eat chicken dinner is really good.

I was greeted by a happy young lady and the other woman and man there were very welcoming, friendly and upbeat! The displays of candy, ice cream, fudge were perfect and so pretty. It is much nicer than Dan's as far as atmosphere by 200%! Ive gone to Dan's for 30 years and the men in the front window never smile or wave...they act like they are there against their will. And they dont really train the kids on customer service that they hire....they can whack off an uneven chunk of fudge for you, but they look like they are bored or afraid and dont provide the personal service. AND KILWINS GIVES YOU BUY 2 FUDGE, GET 1 FREE....VERY NICE!!!!!!!! Although Kilwins has a huge variety, present the goodies more pleasingly and are much more customer service oriented, the taste of the fudge is better at Dan's.

Mad Dog Jake's did not live up to the name, there are no mad dogs. The place is quite quaint. They only have the standard cones which is sad. When you are up at the lake and dig some ice-cream Mad Dog Jake's is the best shop in the area. Real bear in shop very scary, worth the danger for the ice cream.

They offer free samples and do whatever it takes to make sure the customer is happy. Even when there's a long line, everything is served with a smile. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else!
