Was looking for a late night dinner and wanted to try something that would either be an amazing surprise or totally awful, this was thankfully an amazing surprise! Who would expect to find such good food next to a lake association, where half the space is an Italian restaurant and half is a sports bar. Tried the French onion soup and Caesar salad – I don’t know what they did to that soup but it was the perfect line between sweet and salty and gooey cheese, and the Caesar was coated with exactly the right amount of creamy delicious dressing. Also tried the “Baked Alaskan cod” and that is what prompted me to take a picture. Never had anything like this – light, perfectly cooked cod with a really different flavor profile and well seasoned vegetables. Also, it’s billed as Italian but there were a lot of interesting Asian and Caribbean inspired options on the menu. Gotta come back when it’s not 10 pm and try out a proper dinner.

Was looking for a “lakeside” restaurant near me and found this place. Stopped in for lunch and sat at the far end of the bar. Nice view of the lake and beach outside. There was an older couple in the middle of the bar having lunch and several very loud guys at the other end of the bar. They didn’t really bother me but I wondered if they bothered the couple in the middle. Maybe they were all locals and it didn’t matter. The dining room was behind me and it was empty. Maybe it’s more of a dinner and drinks kind of place. Anyway, I ordered the French Onion Soup and a burger and fries and it was all very good. The soup was hot, hot, hot so make sure you have a cold drink if you order the soup! Yeah, I’m the weirdo that orders hot soup on a 90° day! The bartender was friendly and the service was very good. Prices were very reasonable, too. Glad I stopped in and would definitely go back. I don’t think there was access to the beach/lake but I took a pic from the bar and also by holding my camera over the fence outside. Nice area.

Lakeside Restaurant in Wayne is a great bar/restaurant that left me impressed. The Buffalo Wings were outstanding, perfectly crispy, and tossed in a flavorful sauce. The appetizer specials were delightful, offering a range of delicious options. The Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection, tender, and juicy. Their generously sized drinks added an extra level of enjoyment. The service was top-notch. Lakeside Restaurant is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience.

The food is good, the cook was the server the day we went, on a Sunday. The Coors Light drafy was warm and stale, I think the lines need cleaning. The restaurant was dark and cold, odd atmosphere. The food is on the expensive side, but the worst part is that the tip (20%) was automatically added to the bill ( saved me $, I usually tip more ) , a credit card charge was already added on, and then when he ran it, the receipt that you sign still had space to add a tip! If you’re not paying attention, you could easily tip well over 40%. There are better places to spend your $ in my opinion.

Bright blue awnings make this place look like a green restaurant. Oof the decor is tasteless and cheesy. Food is not made in house whatsoever, that’s for CERTAIN. I could go to CostCo and get a better meal out of their frozen section.

I’m pretty sure they pull frozen food out of a box & warm it up – barely. My food was cold. Bartenders are inconsistent. My first drink was delicious, 2nd round not good

I can comfortably say I have never in my life received such exceptional service!! They’re so caring, attentive, the food is great and to top it off the prices are very reasonable. This is the second time visiting with my family and i wish i could express in better words how happy I am with the food and staff at this place. We will come back

The food here is delicious and there is a good variety of choices. Our waiter was very good and pleasant. Hopefully next time we visit the carpeting will have been replaced. It has seen better days and there are numerous trip hazards.

Neighborhood bar. Reasonably priced drinks, pretty good atmosphere with love music on some nights. My burger with pulled pork was pretty good. Bartender Steve was very friendly.
