    Ordering at the bar is standard of service. They do bring the food to you. The burger and dog were delicious. Especially enjoyed the gluten free options. The place is a bar/restaurant so the atmosphere was what you would expect!

    There's not a lot of restaurant options in this area and Chuck's is definitely one of them. Good, standard bar food. Has some nice outdoor seating along with plenty of indoor seating. The turkey burger I got was well cooked and the onion rings were very crunchy! Food came out quite quick too, as it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday at 1 PM, but it can definitely get way more rowdy.

    Standard bat food. It is loud and crowded inside. There is seating outside with views of the lake and much quieter. I would give it closer to 3.5 stars but I am forced to give whole star ratings and thus it gets rounded down to 3.

    Brat burger (special of the day), cheese curds, side salad

    Great local bar on the water - no frills but good food, drinks, and chill ambiance. We sat at the bar of this big place. My spicy margarita was refreshing with our cheese curds (deliciously soft) and side salad. The brat burger on special was interesting and tasty - I'm glad we tried it. Basically brat flavors and toppings in the form of a burger - genius!

    They were extremely busy, but you wouldn't know it. From take out orders to bar orders! We sat at the bar and I was impressed with how efficient everyone was behind there!! This place is a regular bar, but has a great vibe and delicious food. My husband had one of their burgers and onion rings, both were great! I had the Ahi Tuna Salad that was seasoned and cooked well. We've gone to Gordys, but was glad someone local suggested we try Chucks. And it's always great to visit WI because Moon Man and Spotted Cow are on tap!!!

    BLT was good

    Nice joint to get a sandwich and a beer or cocktail across the street from the waters edge. Outdoor patio tables and a large bar indoors and more tables. Order at the bar and they'll bring it out to you. Be warned, it gets crazy busy. Simple menu with salads, sandwiches and pizza. My BLT was described as having six slices of bacon which was really three slices broken in half. It was served on some killer grilled bread. Another good sandwich was the Italian Beef with mozzarella cheese and giardinera. The table next to us said they loved the Bratwurst.

    The stars are for the location, the view and the fun vibe. This was our first stop during our Lake Geneva day trip. We stopped here because a friend recommended this place. We didn't eat, we had a couple of drinks at the bar. Bar tenders were friendly and attentive. It was early on a Sunday and the bar was not very busy. Music was playing and the vibe was fun. Would stop back next time I'm around.

    COVID review: I was't too impressed with this place. We were doing the hike around Lake Geneva and Fontana was the halfway point so we stopped for a bite to eat. I am from Illinois and was completely shocked at the lack of rules they had for social distancing. We called ahead to order our food so we could pick it up and eat outside far away from strangers. There was no such thing as sitting "every other table" and no one was wearing a mask. When I walked inside to pick up my order I was wearing a mask and was completely judged by the other customers and staff. The bar was packed with shoulders touching. I ordered a white claw and the server got annoyed when I asked politely if she could not touch my I.D. and just look from afar. I got out of that place as fast as possible as they HAD to swipe my card inside. The salad I got was very flavorful (great buffalo sauce) and the sweet potato fries were great. My friend said the 'Chicago Dog' was a bad choice and that she should have ordered the brat. We sat outside across the street (poured our drinks into empty water bottles, shhhh). If you are a cautious person about this virus and want somewhere to eat that is cleaner, go to Gordy's next door. Their staff has masks on and it looked like they were at least trying to practice social distancing.

    We had a beautiful fall day at Lake Geneva and started it out at Chuck's. We were seated immediately with a beautiful view of the lake! On this day it was very busy and there was limited table service with our order being taken at the bar. We got our food quickly and the Cajun Chicken Sandwich served on a pretzel bun was great. Will definitely be back when the weather warms up to sit outside.

    Unfortunately, we couldn't find a parking spot. Maybe next time! It did look like a cool place with a nice view.

    Bouncer was completely rude. There was no need to be disrespectful. We took our business to Gordy's and will never return.

    stopped in on tuesday night to grab my pickup order for the lady and myself. food was ready quickly…read moreabout 10 minutes before the website had estimated. wasn't overly busy in there but they were playing good tesla songs in there which made me happy exiting the door. Food kept temperate nicely as i drove home roughly 10 mins and was super super good. Burgers were dope, probably the best and most surprising burger i have had around the area for a little while. seasoned fries were awesome too and had a nice crunch when necessary. definitely an awesome experience and will be back soon!!!

    I was excited to try the shrimp on Friday's fish fry. I ordered the Cajun fried shrimp and it was…read morecompletely burnt. The potato pancakes had no flavor even after I put sour cream and applesauce on it. It was so bad I didn't eat it. The owner had to leave the building to go get cocktail sauce for the shrimp, which were stone cold by the time he got back, but it didn't matter because they were inedible anyway because they were burnt. My friend had a burger that was good and didn't want me to say anything. We were charged for three beers when we only had two. It took a while to have it corrected because the owner was cooking. When he finally came out and corrected the bill, he said nothing. no oh, sorry, no how was the food (obviously not good since I ate 1 shrimp and 1/2 a potato pancake). Extremely disappointing and disgusting. What a waste of money.
