On our recent visit, we had a large party, but the staff handled it well. We sat in the back area, which was spacious and very clean. The younger guy that helped us was super friendly and able to handle our party with ease. The food was excellent and arrived to the table hot, fresh, and around the same time. My patty melt was amazing. It had tons of grilled onions, and the rye bread was toasty and buttery.

And they weren't wrong. I had the famous recipe roast beef sandwich with sweet potato fries, my husband went for the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, my sister had a grilled chicken sandwich, my brother-in-law ordered a mushroom burger, and my daughter-in-law got the crispy chicken wrap... everybody loved their meal and excited that Mary's Bluegill is catering a family wedding on the 4th of July and we decided we are coming back on Sunday for the prime rib special night. I'm happy to recommend this restaurant!

When we first walked up, it was clearly a dive and we were wondering if we would feel unwelcome because we are not locals. Absolutely not the case! Steve got us drinks and Kevin, the owner, chatted us up and made us feel like regulars. His mom was there watching a soap opera with some friends and she shared some delicious homemade cake with us. Kevin dropped $5 in the juke box for us to listen to some songs and made us The Best Pizza! Cheeseburger with extra pickles. There is a reason it has won awards! We are the whole thing! The bar area has a fantastic lakefront view but the outside is awesome too. There is a stage area for a band and plenty of outdoor seating if you want to keep your distance from others but still enjoy getting out and about. When COVID-19 goes away, this would be a perfect place to get back to normal!

This place is a glorified dumping yard- should've left right when I saw the camping chairs in the backyard and all 50 ashtrays. The locals all gave us dirty looks upon arriving, aliens as we were, including the bartender (who also unfortunately made our pizzas too). Speaking of pizzas, I mean y'all... seriously??? Good pizza?? Ive had better pizza from a gas station in a pinch. I'm pretty sure there was no fresh ingredients on it, even had canned mushrooms. I wouldn't have even bothered writing this, if it weren't for the fact that I paid severely for this mistake all night and into the next day with trips to the bathroom, thanks Hoots. Do yourself a favor and find anywhere else.

We sat at the bar in both occasions so the bartenders were our severs. Both ladies were attendant friendly. Our first lunch, I ordered the BLTA sandwich with Seashore Fries. The sandwich was delicious. Bacon thick and crispy. Having the avocado really brightened the sandwich. I didn't care for the seashore fries. They weren't thin or thick. Couldn't taste the potato. They were just there in my opinion. These could change. My husband ordered the special, a Lobster roll. He said it was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful. Tasted fresh. A lot of lobster in the sandwich. For the side, he ordered the sweet potato tots. Although a large portion, these were soggy and not crispy. The second visit my husband ordered the special again. A salmon sandwich. He loved this as well. Full of flavor. Cooked medium rare. Delicious. For the side he upgraded to the cheese curds. These were hot, crispy and delicious. I ordered the Rueben. So delicious. I've never had a Rueben with such thick cut corned beef before. So flavorful. I loved the horseradish which I believe was in the dressing. For the side, I upgraded to the onion rings. I would not order these again. Mostly breading and couldn't taste the onions. We thought the food was delicious. I'm docking a star for the fries, tots and onion rings. These could be better. But mainly for charging me .75 for 2 small packets of mayo and charging an extra 3.5% for using a cc. The charge for the mayo is just petty and the cc fee is the cost of doing business. I'll never understand this.

We got there by 5 pm on a Friday and the place was packed (the parking lot is small, so keep that in mind, too), but luckily we snagged a table. The fish fry is AMAZING!! Delicious beer batter, fried perfectly, and the tartar sauce was yummy too but you really didn't need it given how wonderful the fish was on its own. My two only small critiques would be to give lemon wedges without people having to ask, and to cook the French fries longer.
