Great place to dine. Friendly cool service, very attentive and listens. Full course meal, from appetizer to salad, then soup, then meal, like holy moly, we loved that, that’s what we love about dining out. We sat outside and ate our dinner, it may be loud for some people with the traffic, but we were so focused on our date night, and our meal, my Papi forgot he ordered mushroom and onion with his steak. We’d definitely be back again.

Came in Sunday with 7 people. Our food was disappointing to say the least. 4 fish dinners and all were under cooked. Lake Perch was the size of a chicken nugget and you got 5 for 20+dollars. Also had the white fish and it was a disappointment too. We hadn’t been In for awhile and unfortunately things have changed and not for the good. Likely won’t be in again. So sad.

This is not the place for a quickie, definitely not a fast food joint. Expect to pay a higher price for better quality and service.

Hostess really spoiled things for us. She was chewing gum on the floor. Wiped her nose several times with the back of her hand, hair hanging down into her face- when I mentioned that to our server the response was too bad I don’t have time to address it. Humm it was after 6:30 pm certainly a couple of minutes could have been spared. Realize we are not regulars since we live in AZ now, but I remember why we didn’t visit often when we did live here.

I am not normally someone who will write a review like this, but I was very disappointed in our meals. We returned 2 of our meals. We had cheese burgers and both were burnt so bad we could not eat them. Another person in our group ordered a steak, It had more fat in it than meat. I will most likely never go there again.

Portion sizes were excellent, half of the deep fried mushrooms had no batter on them. Mushroom swiss burger was ok, comparable to Hardee’s. My daughter said her Latern burger meat (plain 1/2 lb with everything except onion on it) had no flavor. Really slow service, to busy hanging out with there other server. Had to wait forever for another beer. Place was dead, only 1 other table occupied at 6:15 on a Monday evening. Really disappointed.
