    This was my hang out back in the 80's when I came to town. I remember the old game room and bait shop. The new one (at least to me) is a bar and restaurant. Had the Rubin and Queso both were good. I never had a Rubin made with cubed corn beef, was surprised at how good it was. Queso is like my dads so it was good too.

    I've known about The Boat House for years but only recently came here for the first time. It's just off old highway 14 on the east edge of Waseca and it overlooks Clear Lake. I was there on a weekday just after the typical lunch time, so it wasn't busy but there were still a decent amount of customers. There was a lunch buffet. I believe there were two types of stir fry, three soups, a salad bar and maybe some pasta. I decided to order from the menu and had a Cuban sandwich and fries. I love Cubans. They are my go-to when I'm at a new place that has it on the menu. This Cuban was very average. It was a little light on meat and the flavor was adequate. The fries, on the other hand, were very nice. Basic no-frills crinkle cut fries, but they were delightfully crisp. The person I was with had their version of a club sandwich and said it was fine. The service was very good. The prices were typical. The food was good but not great. The view of the lake though was impressive. All together it's a good place to check out, especially on a sunny summer day. Parking Issue: Since one side of the restaurant faces the lake, the parking is on the other side. The lot couldn't possibly hold more than 10 cars, so you're forced to park on residential side streets. In front of people's homes. And it the restaurant wasn't busy at the time.

    Amazing lake views

    Nice place. But not worthy of a four star because service was just ok. Food was pretty standard, portions ok. A little pricey for what it is.

    We were in Waseca camping for the Memorial Day weekend when we decided to go to the Boathouse on clear lake. We were out on the lake in the boat and docked at the restaurant. I was a little surprised that the entrance from the lake was a little disappointing. But once we got in the lower bar it was awesome. We were met with the nicest bartender and had drinks and appetizers. The boneless chicken wings we found out were hand breaded and hand cut. They were great! The kids both had meals and the food was cooked perfectly. I recommend stopping in here if your on the lake or just in town. Also Sunday's is happy hour all day long in the lower bar. Come check it out.

    I liked the Reuben flatbread pizza. My wife thought the chicken Alfredo was ok. We will go back when in the area.

    The food was good but service was very bad. It was very slow and the waitress was rude and she overcharged us for our food.

    Spare Time is the local bowling alley with a bar and restaurant, I don't bow, so this review only…read morepertains to the restaurant. I've eaten lunch here a few times and I really don't have any problems with the food. I've had their pizza before and I was impressed. Good ingredients and a quality thin crust. On my most recent visit I had a ham and swiss panini with fries. The taste of the panini was fine but I thought there could have been more ham. The fries were very good. Just enough crispiness and mildly seasoned. Unfortunately the thing I remember most from each visit is sub-par service. My server was very nice but didn't know what beers they had on tap. When I was done eating I waited at least five minutes to get the bill and this was the first time I'd been approached since my food was delivered. In her defense, she was probably new and over-worked. She was the only one I saw doing anything. The prices were standard. The food is good but not great. My overall impression is that it's adequate.

    Very disappointed, went there for lunch, ordered the Hawaiian burger special for the month of June…read more They pulled it so no more. No new special. It's June 18th??? Then wanted fruit instead of fries, usually get two or three different kinds of fruit, grapes, cantaloupe and honey dew melon , got only the honeydew melon, ugh.. so frustrating.
