I knew right away it was a good place to be because I am only dressed like this for work. After ordering a couple beers and making small talk I was welcomed with open arms by the initially grumpy older lady bartender. I'm from Minnesota, that makes me a Vikings fan. We had a good natured discussion about that. Long story longer great little bar to spend some time at. P.S. the fact that I am only the second person to review this bar tells you something. Lots of flip phones still.

My husband had the Bayside Burger with fries with house seasoning. The fries were SO good- hot and fresh. No complaints on the burger. I had the jerk chicken wrap with grilled chicken. My only complaint is that it really needed more chicken, it was mostly lettuce. I was advised to add jalapeños to the wrap for an extra kick and I'm glad I did. The flavor on the jerk chicken was great. Finished with a slice of banana cream pie which was good. Would definitely come back.

Service was very slow but it wasn't a huge concern for us because we weren't in a hurry. We started with beers (they were out of several of the options listed on their menu) and apps.

It was raining so we sat inside, it would have been nice to sit outside since it was a nice view of the lake. Very average bar and grill.
