If you want to eat grilled food with your favorite drink on the lake, go to Famous Freddie's. If…read moreyou want to dance the night away, also go to Famous Freddie's. I've gone during the day and at night and I love the environment during both. During the day is when you really get to enjoy that it's on the lake. The outdoor seating is so nice and there's also a large covered bar outside if you need more shade. Waitresses will take your drink orders, but you do have to go inside to order food. They have the order numbers on display outside too though so you can go back to your table and wait instead of standing inside. My seasoned vet friends told me I had to try the kabobs and definitively, I will never not order the kabob when I'm here. Also the shrimp with cocktail sauce are the perfect lake day bite and they'll give those to you as soon as you order. The vibe definitely shifts at night and is a much younger crowd with everyone hanging out upstairs either at the bar or on the dance floor. The DJ always plays good music that you just want to sing along to, but the nights can be hit or miss as far as it being packed or not. Either way it's always fun. Everyone on staff is pretty helpful and they add to the fun. The vibes are just right. Price wise, you may spend $20+ a person for food but it's great quality and sooo good. The drink prices are pretty normal for the area/being on the lake. The last time I went on a Sunday there were some ambassadors that were giving out drink samples too so even if you feel like drinks are pricey, you might catch a break by getting a chance to try a drink or two. Freddie's also owns the Airbnbs next door so you can rent those out and spend the whole weekend out here.

The bar itself is huge and lots of space for hanging out and having drinks. Plenty of docks to tie…read morethe boat when out for the day. However, weird setup with food and drinks. The food is inside, like a cafeteria style setup, but the food isn't horrible. Tiny menu but not terribly expensive either. But they allow you to sit outside all the way down the stairs and you have to go all the way back upstairs to order and get food. I just felt like this could be a way better set up and enjoy food by the water.

I attended the 3/16/2012 Grand Opening and was impressed by how the management pulled out all of…read morethe stops. Hot and cold appetizers, $1 drafts, lots of waitstaff on hand, johnny on the spot bartenders, etc. In other words- everything was present for a successful new business launch. Both the bar and the patio facing Lake Antioch are beautifully decorated- the patio has a nice fireplace and water feature. Lots of tables with umbrellas and comfortable chairs. I can imagine that the sunsets this summer will be spectacular when viewed from the patio. Plenty of parking either in their lot or the shopping center next door. All of the elements are here to make this a go-to destination as either a sports bar or a nightclub. I have to question their choice of opening night live entertainment, but this small misstep is easily forgiven if they bring in popular area bands this summer. Wishing them success- with the effort that they have put in, I feel that they deserve it.

After a few visits I've found it's actually a lot more than that. Pre-pandemic they would have a ton of live entertainment come through and not just boring or sad stuff you'd expect to see in a small joint - they really do care about bringing in good entertainment and the bands I've seen have not disappointed at all. There's a few different areas for stretching out, including what looks like a party room with a pool table and some games. Usually when I've gone they've had a raffle out for one charitable cause or another too. I'm not sure exactly what they're doing during this far into the pandemic but the visits I had before it all broke out were nice, and when I went once over the summer there was a huge outdoor space available for people and people were sort of keeping their distance inside.

This local town pub starts your table off with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn to get that salty fix we all desire before indulging in an ice cold beverage. Their menu includes everything from burgers to seafood specialties. My sister gobbled up their shrimp tacos that were bursting with flavor! As for myself, I devoured their wings, as they came out hot, crisp, and spiced perfectly without having to drench them in sauces. For the first time, I brought my pup with me to enjoy sitting outside - who then proceeded to entertain fellow diners along with their live musician. My Frenchie took pictures with town residents, had a young customer take him for a walk, and even got a selfie with our waitress. Everyone treated him like a celebrity! Casual, extremely friendly, and great tasting food sums up a hometown experience you shouldn't pass up! Keep popping GROVE!
