Lakeside is a really nice spot in Glenwood, especially if you enjoy a great lake view while you…read moreeat. The dining space feels a little more upscale and fancy, but the prices honestly aren't bad and there are plenty of good options on the menu. I ordered the 10 oz top sirloin with green beans and a loaded baked potato. The steak was cooked how I asked and definitely hit what I was craving. It was pretty good overall, though it got a little dry toward the end. I also tried the Brussels sprouts appetizer because it sounded interesting -- it came with a creamy balsamic, bacon, onions, and goat cheese, which made for a really unique combination. Others at the table ordered coconut shrimp, chicken strips, and fish & chips. The coconut shrimp seemed popular, although the dipping sauce had changed. Overall, this is a solid place to stop if you're in the Glenwood area or spending time on the lake. Nice atmosphere, good service and a beautiful view, and a menu with enough variety that there's something for everyone.

Paid $162.00 not including the tip for 3 of us and it was definitely not worth the price. 2 appetizers, 3 meals and 2 alcoholic drinks and one root beer. Meals were a sirloin that was grainy and full of tendons, honey glazed salmon that was very dry and crispy and a surf and turf with a very thin steak and small shrimp that were definitely not quality and they came with the chefs vegetable of choice....canned corn, at least that's what it tasted like. None of us finished our meal. I would not recommend, and we visit every year to the area and this is one stop we will not go to again. Disappointed, we would have been better off going to a fast food chain.

This isn't "fine" dining, but more like upscale homemade cooking. Because of the prices and food quality I am giving it 4 stars. (Very good). This isn't a once a year or just special occasion place, it's an every other week place. Can dress casual or nice. Lounge and dining areas, but Lounge is nice. Wood fired grill. Food was just right, not charred, but had a good Smokey flavor (not overwhelming). BBQ meatball apps were great, different nightly specials. Ribs and chicken were great! Ribs fell off the bone, fat had melted away, and bbq sauce was just right. Chicken tender and juicy. Cornbread muffin tasted off the shelf but fine (nice size but need to nail the cornbread as it isn't hard and compliments bbq so well). Drinks were good and priced for 2nd's. My wife loved her Prime Rib sandwich. The popover was sweet and delicious. Great variety on the menu and service was great! Not a place you have to ask for things on the side or can you remove that. They appear to know what's important and nail those, with no negatives. Thank you for dessert (lava cake). Best way to put it, if we lived closer, I would be a regular.

I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt!
