Just visited for the first time, wanting to try something new for our anniversary. It was a fun experience. Wonderful Moscow mule and yummy chili cheese fries as an appetizer. I forgot to take a picture of our main dinner- the steak sandwich for me and chicken strip basket for my hubby. The steak sandwich reminded me of an elevated Philly cheesesteak with horseradish. The steak was so tender and juicy which makes me want to try the steak salad next time! Just not the best place to bring a toddler. Lol We still had a blast!

We just had drinks here, but the service was great. They were pretty busy, but that’s the nice part…. If you feel yourself getting a little crowded, you can just wonder outside and enjoy a beautiful Montana beach. ( Yes, they do exist). My buddy has his boat at a dock right there, and took his kids out… Plenty for all to do here….

Absolutely beautiful and enjoyable! Went to our HS Class reunion- all graduating classes in the 1980s from JHS in Boulder, MT. It turned out fantasic, although the waitress serving food was a bit unnerved lol

I dislike leaving this kind of review when my dad said, “This place is fun.” we went to see live music, which the live music was the best part. My dad asked for pretzel bites, and we looked at each other like it shouldn’t take that long. I was babying my beer because I was wondering where our food was. Being a waitress myself, I was confused about how little we were checked on, except when our glasses were low. I went to the bartender and ask where our food was, but he never put the order in. He apologized when the food came out, but for an appetizer to take over 1 hour when my dad asked about it an hour ago is unacceptable. Waiters/Bartenders/Waitresses should double-check with people about food if they hold off a bit when they first get there. I know they make their money through tips.

Lakeside has a great atmosphere and can be fun on a warm summer day. Unfortunately, there’s not much else good to say about the service or the food. Food is subpar—basically fresh off the Sysco truck to your plate; Little creativity or effort. Service leaves something to be desired—not very friendly or attentive. Prices are outrageous! $10 for a basket of fries. A good bar, yes. Not a great restaurant.

The pinned photo is the chili they served me. Be careful though because it can be really busy so be patient. You have a beautiful view of lake Hauser you can even eat somewhat by the lake! 1000 out of 5 seriously though don’t think this is a forged review because it isn’t. I’m from Arizona and in Montana to visit my aunt and uncle please take me seriously when I say they are busy. It is worth it though. Thank you for reading my review!

Had a burger and a Malibu Bay Breeze. They were super busy and short on servers, but who isn’t these days? Live band was really good.

The staff here was absolutely incredible! Austin gave us the best service and had an incredible attitude! We had a very large party and he handled all of us with care and attentiveness. We will be back all summer! Thank you Austin.
