We came in for an event. They sure were busy! Our server was so attentive given what looked like he was running all open tables and tending to our event. Food was great - unfortunately I was unable to eat majority of what was provided..nonetheless, the drinks were GREAT! Espresso Martini, phew, it was prob the best we had in a hot minute! We were informed that they have live music, happy hours w/ certain specials etc. Only downfall is the parking. Def a struggle when they're busy, there's absolutely no where to park.. read more

Service is exceptional. Food is fresh and reasonably priced. Fish tacos and Cobb salad are my go to orders. Spin dip with warm mouth watering pita bread is a life staple! Canoe Club is charming and lakey, patio is large and plan to stay for live music on certain evenings. Great place to relax and enjoy! read more

We absolutely love this gem of a restaurant and bar! Such a cozy and good atmosphere and a fun vibe for the summertime! We went last night, on a Thursday, for their Thursday fish taco and margarita special! Tacos are $3 per taco and margs were $3 as well. It was all so delicious as always, and as always I had to get a cup of their lobster bisque! Also (not pictured) my husband got the carne asada tacos and said they were really good. Daughter had a grilled cheese and fries from the kids menu. Their fries are so good so I'll be back to get those with a salad soon! The service was outstanding as well - the staff was so kind and sweet and our server did a lovely job as well. read more

First to be sat on patio. After two other tables who arrived after us and an hour after being seated, we finally received our food. The restaurant was not busy when we first arrived, but was very busy by the time we left. Wait staff was not very friendly either. Luckily the food was good, just very slow! read more

Love Canoe Club! The wait staff is always super friendly, the food is always great & it is located close to us! We frequently eat there or get it to go. My go to order is always the CC chicken! Never had anything like it! It's delicious. We also love their wings and bruschetta chicken! If you are a ranch snob like me they have the best!!!! Like drink with a straw type ranch. read more

I eat here about 2-3 times each month. What makes it special is that it's low stress simple neighborhood bar feel with quality food, friendly staff, and good food for a fairly low price. Burger Tuesdays are hard to pass up! read more

Ordered the blackjack salmon and my husband ordered the CC Chicken. Both were really good! Also loved the drinks - Lotawana Mama was yum! Very laid back atmosphere, and the server assigned to our table was very friendly. Will definitely come back! read more

We went there Saturday evening and were a bit underwhelmed. We went there a couple of years ago and I remember the food being better. This time around, I started with a lobster bisque. That was actually very good! I then had the mahi-mahi. It was bland with a bacon guacamole on top of it. I thought the guac was unnecessary and felt like the fish could have been a hit if it was blackened. The broccoli was really yummy. The rice..not much flavor. My husband ordered wings and tempura ranch to go. He said the wings were average and both agreed the tempura could have had some more flavor. We will go back and try another night. Maybe just an off night? They have great reviews for tacos so maybe we will try that. read more

The steak sandwich was great. Little pricy but good. I gave 3 stars because of extra charges. You get 1 side and mashed potatoes of all things was a $2 upcharge. Also a hidden charge on the bill was a credit card service charge. This charge was aboat $1 and did not show on the bill anywhere but on the total. The bill was 29.70 and the charge was 30.59. We were in a hurry after we finished and when I asked that was what I was told. read more

Phish tacos are so good blackened! The artichoke dip is great but I would substitute the fried pita for chips to dip. Cocktails are real and felt the buzz LOL read more

This is a hidden gem. From the energetic service to tye engaged ownership, you'll work hard to find better service or engagement. That doesn't include the food. It was all cooked to perfection and was served expeditiously with focus on quality. We are definately repeat customers. Service 5 stars ownership 5 stars food beyond 5 stars. This gem shines!!! read more

Food was fantastic. So impressed. Service was okay, it wasn't very busy at the time we went but over server often forgot about us.

I came here with my parents on the way back from a family weekend in KC. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal on the outdoor patio. The three of us shared an appetizer of sweet potato fries which were perfectly flavored, but a little oiled. I ordered the fish tacos, which were great! The tacos were very full and had great seasoning. Between the tacos and sweet potato fries I was full. Really the only reason I just couldn't give this restaurant 5 stars is because of smoking. There were several people who were table hopping around the patio just trying to avoid the smoke. My allergies and my mother's asthma are really aggravated by cigarette smoking. I guess I've been spoiled by living in cities and states that forbid smoking. read more

I had high hopes for this place with all the positive reviews and word of mouth glowing reports. I expected good seafood from the canoe club... maybe my expectations were too high. Ordered calamari. Sent it back it was like chewing a rubber band. Server suggested the dip. It was better, but was creamy and almost like it was curdled. Main dishes nothing special. Won't be back, super disappointing. read more

Always enjoy the Canoe Club. Had the burger with extra mushrooms and an avocado. Hubs got the chicken tacos but it didn't fill him up. He had half of my burger :). I like sweet potato fries but prefer It without the cinnamon and sugar on top. read more

If I could give Canoe Club 100 stars I would! I grew up going to Canoe Club every week when I was in middle school and high school. When I went to college I truly missed them! My husband and I now go once a week again! The wine selection is fabulous, the food is always amazing, and the service is even better. Literally anything you order on the menu will leave you wanting more! But, my favorite part is the atmosphere. Every time we walk in they know us and everyone says hi and makes you feel like a local! I love Canoe Club, it's hands down my favorite restaurant! read more

Canoe Club Lakeside Grill - AMAZING prime rib and phish tacos (their famous dish) - Seafood Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

LITERALLY my #1 choice. This is the most reliable spot I've ever been to! Amazing food and drinks every single time. If you're coming here, the spin dip is to die for. Order the broccoli, you won't regret it! The staff is great and the owners are amazing! I've never met 2 people more passionate about their business! Definitely a place to visit! (Filets are the specials on Wednesday's, you're welcome) read more

Every time I've come to canoe club the service is just a smidge slow. They have a great happy hour with select drinks and foods. My fav thing is the burger and spin dip! They have pita and it's so yum. Canoe Club is near the lake so you get a vacation vibe while you're in there. During the summer their outdoor patio is also great. read more

Quaint and cozy. They've got a decent outdoor patio. I ordered the spinach dip; this was pretty delicious. I also got a strip steak with a side Caesar salad and mashed potatoes / steamed broccoli. Not 5-star quality, but still very reminiscent of a good backyard grillfest with the bros. The mashed potatoes weren't that flavorful, but the the waitstaff made up for it. The waitstaff is very attentive and accommodating, and will get you whatever you need. Definitely a good hole in the wall--I'd come here again. read more

We love this place! The atmosphere is outstanding, with a homey, cabin-like feel and good vibes from the wait staff and the music whether live or from their own playlist. The Phish Tacos are bomb. The Blackjack Salmon is the best in the city. The Pork Slider app is delicious, and with the best coleslaw I've ever had. The Lobster Bisque.... Mahi Melt... Wings, Bob's Style.... the Prime Rib, oh yes... also amongst our faves. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but the point is that there is a great selection of food and beers; and whether you sit inside or on the patio, have a Lotawana Mama, kick back, relax, and enjoy! read more

Service is always spot on, atmosphere is comfy/cozy, the strawberry basil lemonade is fantastic and the CC chicken is my favorite.

Appetizers: Spinach dip - very tasty! Great texture. Slightly tangy. I especially enjoyed the fried pita bread triangles. Yum. Lobster bisque - While I've had better, it was still alright. I give it an average rating. Chunky lobster bits are needed. Caesar salad - average. Entrees: Strip steak -Steak knife wasn't brought out with the meal, steak was your typical BBQ style taste. Prime rib sandwich - bun was a disappointment... it was like a hot dog bun from a bag. I expected a harder, crustier roll. The bun became wayyyy too soggy with the au jus. Atmosphere: Great music selection. Nothing obnoxious. Indie vibe. Open air (A/C was not on). It's a cute little place. Service: no issues! Notes: we went at lunchtime. Did not order any alcohol. Next time we will sit on the patio. No actual lakeside view. read more

First off, this place has GOOD fish tacos! However, I give them a 3-star rating for several reasons. Read further! I heard from a co-worker I needed to check this place out just for their fish tacos. And man she was right. They had great flavors and basically topped with a whole salad. I'm sightly allegoric to raw vegetables and fruits so I had to remove most of it, but I bet someone else would enjoy it. My only complaint, I wish the fish was more of chunks of fresh fish instead of the very thin grilled fish. Was a bit on the too crispy side. Now why they got a 3-star rating. The fish tacos were like a 31/2 or 4-star rating but the rest of the food and drinks receive 2-stars. Crab Cakes I cannot recommend. The texture was terrible. It was more like a mushy salmon croquettes. Hard to eat due to texture and flavor plus pricey. Second reason... beer menu sucks! In fact, our waiter told me they don't have any draft beers. Kind of weird at a joint like this. Summary: - Good fish tacos but a little on the crispy side. Would be perfect with bigger chunks of fresh fish - Crab Cakes... I can't recommend - Service was fine - Beer menu sucks! They don't even have taps read more

This is the kind of place you want to go to with your friends on a Friday night to enjoy a good drink, some awesome appetizers and great atmosphere after a long work week! During the warmer months you can enjoy your meal on their large outdoor patio; which is a nice option. I go here with a group of girlfriends at least once a month to unwind and catch up; and they never disappoint. It's not a classy, dress up sort of place..more of a casual hangout instead. They offer 1/2 price apps before 6p; so you have to try the spinach artichoke dip with deep fried pita points--you can thank me later. I always get the blackened fish tacos, they are very good!! For a drink try the St. CC, it's made with a sparkling white wine and St. Germaine.. Very light and refreshing. I get the same great service no matter if it's just me and a girlfriend, or the entire crew hanging out on a busy Friday night. The wait staff is always very accommodating and attentive. If you are in the area, I suggest you give Canoe Club a try! read more

If you are looking for a relaxed, unpretentious, place with above average service and food for affordable prices, then the Canoe Club is your kind of place. Located on Colbern Road near the lake it is what you should expect and get. There is no question that it is the place where the "locals" go (time and again) to relax and enjoy a pleasant meal. There is a "deck" outside (where, oh my gosh, smoking is allowed), and the "inside" is pure lake! I guess you could wear your 3 piece perfectly tailored Brooks Brothers and wingtips there, but you would notice that shorts and sandals are perfectly acceptable. Yes, relax and enjoy! I cannot say enough about the friendly and efficient service. Wait staff remembered us after the second time we were there, and they remembered us in a good way! They do not "hover" over your table, but are always there when the time is right. I like that. The place is clean and well maintained. Parking is in a private lot where I sometimes forget to lock my car. Nice. The menu is perfect for the location and market. Early small plates include calamari (that is never rubbery or over cooked), and a artichoke dip that is amazing (make sure to get the pita rather than chips, it is served hot and really make the dish). Of note should be their specials: Wed is steak night, with a filet that makes you think of Pierpont's, and Thursday is fish taco's (get them blackened) and Margarita's. Heck, even my vegan son can find a meal that suits him. Try 'em, you will not be disappointed! There is live entertainment on weekend evenings. For a small place it is not overpowering, and seems to fit with the place. Come back again? We have been going there for a few years now and it never lets us down. read more

Couple of tips for out-of-towners...lakeside and canoe are great sounding, but have nothing to do with the actual bar. The lake is not visible at all. The canoe does hang in the bar. Couple of big screens play the games. Definitely a sports bar atmosphere, but the best steaks we've had in a long time. Very tender and tasty. Masks are required, tables are spaced apart. Outside dining available. Other restaurants around this one. read more

Been here other times and alway had a good experience. Since it was a Friday night I tried their special which was prime rib! It was tender and delicious. The mashed potatoes were not anything special and that's what kept me from giving five stars. The staff was friendly and attentive despite being very busy. There was also live music. read more

This was our first visit but will not be our last ! Food and drinks were amazing. Sat on patio by the water and the service was superb.

We love Canoe club! I usually get the CC Chicken which is amazing! My husband is a big fan of the vodka sauce which is now on the menu full time! You cant go wrong with their Moscow Mule. Way more than you would except from a small town restaurant! read more

Hidden gem! It doesn't look like much from the outside and ambience could use some sprucing up but the food is amazing!! I plan to make it a regular spot for the family. read more

Fun happy hour. The shrimp cocktail was good. Spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips was smooth and creamy. The happy hour drinks are a good mix and price. We sat outside. The patio is fun. The only negative is the tabletops are sticky in humid weather. Yuk. They need a refinish. The waitress was friendly and efficient. read more

Canoe Club is another one of our favorite places to eat. Fish tacos are the best!! When the weather is nice, sitting outside is the best. read more

Sent steak back bc it was over done and came back with this , If this is medium rare ..... ummm Spinach artichoke dip was like glue and pita was like a fried funnel cake. We ate it bc we were starving. Next time I guess get the fish tacos but living in Florida, visiting the home of the cow state if thought I would have a good piece of meat instead I got Sysco ... frozen. Nope nope nooooppe read more

Great service and great food. Love the KC Strip, the tacos, and the prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights. We've been there enough that my wife and I are considered regulars now, even though we don't live in Lake Lotawana. Every single time I've been there the food and service have been excellent, and I highly recommend it all the time to everyone I know. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area hands-down! Without a doubt. Service is at a speed in which is a place of fine winning and dining. Vs fast past hectic & crazy restaurants.

After looking into places to go eat, it was later than usual. We decided after good reviews, a solid menu, and such we decided to give this a try even though it was a little bit of a drive. We got there and it took forever to get someone to come to the table to give us a menu or take our drink order. We kept looking around waiting. We then ordered wings, they were more like huge chicken tenders with sauce. Terrible. Then it took over 30min for our waitress to come back and take our order. Our daughter was starving. It's the place where everyone is running around doing everything. Waitresses didn't have sections. They bartended also... it seemed poorly run. I ordered "so cal" fish tacos, my husband ordered fish & chips and we got our daughter a hamburger/fry basket. Hers was the only good food. The tacos were terrible, salsa sucked and was bland. My husbands fish and chips were terrible and small. Needless to say, wasn't worth the drive. Terrible food & terrible service. Will NOT be going back. read more

My favorite place to go around lake lotawana. The staff is very friendly and they all seem to enjoy working together (something I find important). The restaurant could be a little cleaner, the tables are often just a little sticky. The food never disappoints even when they are busy. I've had the same thing almost every time I've went but I've tried friends and families food and it's all been good. I have the health club wrap probably 20 times and have loved it every time. The artichoke dip is always a great appetizer as well as the lettuce wraps. My friends have always enjoyed their fish tacos as well. Keep up the good work Canoe Club! read more
