Sometimes you know you're in the right place before you even sit down…read more The smell that hit us when we walked into Lake Street Eats immediately made us look at each other and say, "Yep... we're eating here." It was our first visit, and the bartender quickly welcomed us, asked how we were enjoying the Bridgman area, and made us feel right at home. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed being there, joking with what seemed like several regulars seated around the bar. That kind of atmosphere is hard to fake. We started with the cheese curds, and I have one request for the owners: please bottle whatever dipping sauce comes with them. The portion was generous, and I'd give the cheese curds a solid 9/10 on the stretch meter, which I consider an important scientific measurement. We paired them with a local IPA and a Modelo while taking in the relaxed neighborhood vibe. Between the friendly staff, local décor, full bar, and laid-back atmosphere, it felt like one of those places where locals become regulars. The only minor downside was that it was pretty warm inside during our visit, but it was also a warm day outside, so it didn't take away from the experience. Next time we're in Bridgman, we'll be aiming for one of the outdoor tables. We'll definitely be back--and probably ordering those cheese curds again.

Dude seemed confused, or trying to play me. Had I been charged for it, I may have complained, but my Italian beef sandwich was delicious nonetheless!

As a chef myself, i recognize seasoning, care ,cooking,pairing,plating This place is my new favorite Even the fried mushrooms are not mushy canned and fried, they are whole fresh mushrooms and the breading is to die for tasty crunchy .

We showed up on a saturday afternoon after working on cars in shorts and a tee shirt with our friend from indianapolis and were treated with a four star meal . Will be back for many more.

As soon as my group walked into the bar, the patrons sitting at the bar made us feel very unwelcome. When trying to order drinks at the bar we were told by the bar tender that she didn't need to serve our group if she didn't want to. The reason being that we had empty birthday cups from our themed birthday party on us. We proceeded to apologize and order a round of beers. As the bartender was grabbing our beers, another patron was arguing with my girl friend on the other end of the bar, subsequently ending our visit. The racist and sexist behavior towards our group was disgusting. If you are on vacation and looking for a local watering hole Connie's isn't it .

They do not have sweet drinks, which I prefer, so I will probably stick with beer. I like that they have many nonalcoholic options, as someone who is not a big drinker.

It was refreshing to peruse an interesting small plates menu which we would definitely go back to try on a future visit. There is also a traditional menu as well as a special menu on weekends prepared by a guest chef featuring international cuisine. We tried the "Thai Night" menu and especially enjoyed the vegetarian potstickers in a delicious Thai sauce and the noodle salad with shrimp. The flavors were layered, with a delicate creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. There is a parking lot on site and reservations are a must on weekends, although an early arrival might get you a nice spot at the bar!
