My wife ordered small perch dinner which came with 2 sides nothing small about it. I asked the host would he recommend the catfish or walleye he said he likes walleye better it was a good recommendation. I had Mac and cheese and baked beans for my sides my wife also had Mac and cheese with green beans. Everything was made from scratch and came out piping hot. It's definitely worth a try

We stopped in before heading to the beach and I couldn't believe how much they had. You know when…read moreyou're packing up and think, "I wish I had grabbed..."(for food)? Yeah, they probably have it. Cold grab-and-go sandwiches, hot made-to-order sandwiches, pasta salads, charcuterie, chips and dips, crackers, drinks... seriously so much to choose from. I went with a cold sandwich and it was way better than I expected. It tasted fresh, felt gourmet, and definitely wasn't your average deli sandwich. Everything looked really fresh too. The service was super friendly and efficient, even with people coming in and out, and the shop had a fun, bustling beach-town vibe that got us even more excited for the day. This is absolutely going to be a must-stop anytime we're in the area. Highly recommend!

Everything on the 9-course tasting was next level. Perfectly timed courses allowed me to take my time enjoying the food, which means I did not eat too fast and felt full but not stuffed when I left. Notable plates were the risotto, tartar, Australian beef tenderloin, and pot de crème. Amazing wine list and great by-the-glass selection. Awesome service by Derek. Do not eat here first during your visit to Saugatuk or you will be disappointed by anywhere else in the area!

I can't remember the last time I felt so full after a meal! My husband got the gumbo and he said it was yummy and filling. The cornbread was a little overly sweet for me, but I still gobbled it up. I can't speak much for the authenticity as I've never been to Louisiana, but I found the food pleasantly spicy. My husband added hot sauce to his gumbo

I tried the shrimp boil with no spice, the mushroom etouffee, and the mauque choux. The shrimp and…read moresausage were good but the potatoes and corn get pretty hammered in the process, soft/mushy. The mushrooms needed more seasoning. They were out of cornbread at 2pm. The restaurant needs more ventilation because something was going on and anyone who walked in the door was coughing and had to go outside. Hopefully, not a common issue. I would not expect to eat in for this reason. The decor is cute though and I like the color scheme.

Dee was our server & he was great. The ayce fish was amazing much better than the previous owners. Lightly breaded and thick pieces. Fries were very hot & fresh. You got a side (fries) and soup or salad. My husband said it was the best fish he's had in a very very long time. I had the wet burrito which is one of the items I ordered when we went there frequently. It was better than before! The meat wasn't mushy and it was very flavorful not bland. I loved it and my husband tried it and said he's not crazy about burritos but thought this was very very good. We normally do not give 5's but Lakeside deserved it. The new booth tops were pretty & clean. We were happily surprised at the whole experience and will go again and more often.

The shrimp po boy was really tasty- the breading was just a light layer and shrimp was cooked perfectly so I didn't feel like I was only eating fried food.

If you have a family, do not even bother. This place is NOT family friendly…read more We arrived with our two children and infant and were told we couldn't bring our stroller onto the deck, so we went back to the car and carried our baby in the car seat instead. Yet we immediately saw another family dining with a stroller, and on our way out there was literally a lineup of strollers near the entrance. There also isn't a changing table, so I had to go back to the car just to change our infant. The food was equally disappointing and extremely overpriced. The calamari portion was tiny, my fish was soggy with the batter falling off and cold fries, and my daughter's sweet-and-sour chicken was mostly batter. My husband ordered a 20-ounce ribeye well done and received what was essentially a medium-rare steak. Our server, Jordan, brought the issue to the manager, Amanda, who only discounted the improperly cooked steak by 50%. When my husband asked to speak with Amanda, we were told she was "too busy" to come to our table. Jordan even commented that there were "a bunch of high schoolers in the kitchen." For the prices they charge, the food, service, and management were incredibly disappointing. Easily one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We will not be back.
