    Peach cobbler!  Batter and peaches

    Soul food dinner - catfish, yams, and greens were awesome. They get five stars. This rating is for the "peach cobbler". I hate to say it but it was not a good choice. I don't know what type of cobbler this was but it was not make with a pie crust. Perhaps a dump cake version with batter and peaches. In summary... service 5 stars, food (excluding peach cobbler) 5 stars. Cobbler 1 star because it had peaches!

    From my Hubby's personal experience and his story goes a lil something like this, hit it! Upon landing at O'Hare in Chicago, I placed my to-go order. A fish wich, beef link and fried wing dinner with chicken dressing, Mac n cheese, greens and sweet potatoes (yams). The pics look good but you better believe that Boonie and Charles put their foot in those sides and such! Psst! Don't let the Fall weather deter you from getting that summer summer time lemonade. Boonie's version will quench that thirst!. Their good ole lemonade was perfectly tart and sweet (Hubby was drinking that hours after he got his order so I know he liked it like Mikey liked Life cereal! Overall, this family-owned restaurant was well worth the trip so let's support each other and eat good food. Stay safe. Stay blessed. Eat well. Let's support Boonies's. Congratulations! With blessings success and patronage! Patrick Davis

    Outstanding. Great food. Excellent friendly service. This was my first experience coming here and what impressed me the most was the very friendly, inviting welcome from the lady behind the order counter. There's other local non chain BBQ places nearby but none of them are as friendly as this place. My experience with the others is usually service with an attitude with zero regard for the customer. Boonie Mac Shack does it right! Great service with great food. That's the formula for repeat customers. They got me hooked. I'll be back.

    Good food. Tender rib tips topped off with delicious bbq sauce and down-home sides. Food is consistently good.

    Food For Thought at ThunderHawk

    Excellent food. Average to below average service with the bartender continuously requesting we come…read moreto the bar to get our drinks to "save her a trip." C'mon. Air conditioning was supplied by one of those indoor units that absolutely could not keep up with heat and humidity of the day. Would expect much more from a golf course of this caliber.

    If I could give more stars, I would! My husband and I just got married at Thunderhawk on June 18,…read more2016. We originally visited in early November 2015 and were blown away with the natural beauty of this place. We had looked at a couple of banquet hall/hotel like places before that I had not liked at all. I knew this was THE place the minute we stepped into the rustic restaurant for our meeting! Some highlights: 1. Location: Thunderhawk is rustic and beautiful! The patio is green and well kept and reception hall is equally beautiful with high ceilings and wood beams. They have a double sided fireplace at the entrance to the reception hall which makes for a perfectly cozy spot for a fall wedding and a great blank canvas for welcome decor during the warmer months. They keep Christmas lights outside which makes the outside beautiful once the sun goes down. The lighting in the reception hall is beautiful and warm! No need for purchasing or renting string lights or other lighting! It felt like we needed to do very little to make the space look great and provided the perfect casual elegance we were looking for. We ended up with our ceremony outside, but honestly I would have been equally happy with the ceremony inside, if the weather required it! 2. Planning: Planning with Jody was by far the easiest and most enjoyable thing about wedding planning. She was laid back, extremely helpful, and always prompt with estimates, answers to questions, etc. She was so incredibly accommodating at every point of the planning (food tasting, linens, coordinating decor pickup). We left every meeting raving to each other about how wonderfully easy and fun the process was! She is truly talented and a joy to work with! 3. Service: Thunderhawk was no less attentive and accommodating on the day of our ceremony. While other places allot you about 2 hours before the ceremony for set up, Thunderhawk let us come a few hours the day before to set up, because they did not have another event on that Friday. They had the linens and other included decor beautifully done. This made the day of the wedding so much more relaxing. They used my aisle decor to decorate outside after the ceremony and made my husband and I a plate of appetizers and put it at our table so that we could have a taste of everything! We were able to pick up all of our items the day after, so no worries about packing up the car on the wedding night! ...just a few examples of so many thoughtful, little details!!! If there were hiccups throughout the night, I was completely unaware! I only heard raving reviews from the guests. I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT! 4. Pricing: The pricing per plate is very reasonable and there are no hidden prices, like many other venues. They have basic options with available upgrades. You are able to pick and choose add ons/upgrades quite easily. NO pressure to upgrade. When we got our final bill, there were no surprises. 5. Food: We got so many compliments about the food at our wedding! Chef Ann is truly talented! We were able to taste several entree options at a private tasting and tasted all of the appetizer options at a tasting open house. Everything was delicious! We particularly loved the Parisian salad, pecan chicken, and spinach lasagna! The gnocchi and carved sirloin were also very good! Several of our guests had allergies and they were more than happy to accommodate these! Everything was so easy and fun! The servers were incredibly attentive and kind. Simply wonderful people. I could go on and on, but I will end with saying that this is truly a hidden gem of Lake County! I can not more strongly recommend researching this place for your wedding, shower or corporate event! Thank you, Thunderthawk team for making my wedding day so beautiful and carefree! I truly got to enjoy and savor the day because of your hard work! Tips: The bathroom baskets were totally worth the cost and, in my opinion, would be more expensive if you DIY. Again, several compliments about these from guests! The fall dates seemed to fill up faster than summer dates, so make sure to contact them relatively early if you have your heart set on a fall wedding.
