    Great food, great service, friendly family-owned business. The food is locally sourced and prepared exactly as ordered. Please note, LBT is under new ownership so the menu and vibe are different (BETTER!)

    Shroom and swiss truffle burger
    Tracy H.

    Went here for my cousins graduation and it wasn't too busy ((thank goodness!)) but there was a really good happy hour going on. $5 for a lake burger!!! What??!! The fries were done really well, their homemade ketchup was really a good compliment to the dish. Their mushroom and Swiss burger was good but I didn't really get a lot of truffle in the burger. It's ok, it was good anyways. The burgers were moist and done really well. The buns are the stars of the show in my opinion. The ambiance was a really relaxed setting. Service is good and the guy was really patient for a group of 7 people. Recommend this place for families and chill dates.

    Portobello burger
    Lakisha M.

    Yuuuuummmmmm!! Me and hubby finally had the opportunity to get out for a lunch date. I've been dying to try this location because I've heard about the burgers. I had the portobello burger, and hubby had a large olive burger. The food and drinks were great. The ONLY complaint I have is that the buns are just absolutely too big for the burgers. The service was good and the food was even better! This is a great lunch spot. I will definitely be back. GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS THEY SLAP!!!

    Cuban Sandwich
    Jim P.

    Nice little place on Westnedge. Food was really good, hot and flavorful. The Cuban Sandwich could be ranked up there with the best in the area. The Old Fashioned was decent but was not the best I've ever had. The service was good. It's basically order at the counter and they bring your food out. Overall I'd head back for a Cuban or Burger I'm the future.

    BBQ Bacon & Blue Burger and Boardwalk Fries.
    Alex R.

    I had high hopes for this place. The menu isn't bad, it just seems like someone tried too hard to create something different. We waited 40 minutes on a Sunday evening for two burgers. Our friends ordered before us and they received and ate their meals before we got ours. They are because their burgers were getting cold. We didn't order anything complicated but it just took FOREVER!!! It wasn't really busy either. You would think a burger joint would be pretty quick about making burgers. The BBQ Bacon and Blue was alright, nothing really special about it. Typical bun and the bbq was watery, more than normal BBQ sauce. The Board Walk fries are nothing to brag about. It would take some selling to get me to come back. I don't know how to word this but one of the gals working up front clearly doesn't believe in a bra and has her nipples pierced on a cold day. Seriously? Thankfully, we didn't bring our kids.

    Went here for dinner with my bf. Service from the start was awesome! Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing! I got the Lake Burger, tasted great, bf got Lake Bacon and he had no complaints! Plus the truffle fries which are a MUST. Cute date night or even a family dinner place. Prices were reasonable. Will absolutely be back!

    Steak frites! Fantastic!

    Two words: PEPPERONI ROLLS Ok, more than two words,…read morebartenders and servers are always quick and friendly. Perfect place to watch sports, big TVs everywhere. Other food is great as well, but you can't come here without the p-roll or pizza order (add butter cheese crust).

    Yikes. This place has some decent reviews so we gave it a shot…read more Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered some beers they were excellent!! Our chicken pesto panini sandwich was terrible. The chicken was old. It was dry and it tasted like dirty refrigerator. Server was pleasant enough and we wanted to make sure she knew we knew it wasn't her fault cuz some people are just jerks like that. We were turned off from the sandwich and didn't want it remade so we ordered some spinach dip. It came out so fast!! And it was. Seriously we both just cringed. The artichoke hearts weren't probably cleaned so the tough spiky bits were in the dip. But the worst part was the chips served with it. They were clearly reheated and the smell of dirty/rancid oil hit my nose before my tongue. We moved the dip around the plate to look like we ate some. Grabbed the check and ran!! Could we have talked to manager? Sure. But 2 meals out of 2 were bust we didn't want to deal with it. And given we'd sent our fist meal back we figured if a manager was interested in our experience they would have come out right away. There's so many great options in the area we don't need to go back. Hope your experience is better than ours!!

    One Well Brewing is the kind of place that makes you think, "Yeah... I could probably just live…read morehere." The kids disappeared into the games so fast I briefly considered filing a missing persons report before realizing they were just... happy. As a parent, I experienced something I hadn't felt in years: finishing an entire meal while it was still warm. I almost cried. The pizza is offensively good. My cardiologist has specifically asked me not to be tagged in any more of my Yelp reviews, but if you're reading this, Steve... mind your own business. Some relationships are worth fighting for, and mine with this pizza is one of them. The beer was fantastic. Every pint tasted like it was brewed by someone who actually enjoys making beer instead of someone trying to impress a guy named Chad who owns three flannel shirts and says things like, "I'm getting notes of pine and emotional unavailability." The place is huge, which is exactly what every parent dreams of. The kids sprinted off to the games, the dog made about 47 new friends, and for a glorious 20 minutes nobody asked me to open a juice box, settle a courtroom-level dispute over whose turn it was, or inspect a mysterious object they found on the floor. I wasn't parenting anymore. I was just a guy eating incredible pizza in public. One Well somehow found the perfect balance between brewery, family hangout, dog park, and therapy session. I walked in stressed, left full, and briefly convinced myself I could handle having more kids. Thankfully that feeling wore off before I got to the parking lot

    This is my favorite spot to go to great cider and root beer that's homemade. I like to take a…read moregrowler home with me. Bring them back for a discount. Also a decent spot for vegan food. I will say the food leaves me feeling heavy and I need a nap afterwards. no French fries or anything like that. I like the games and all the machines are still taking coins. It's a great place to go to spend that change! The bartenders are friendly and the decor is fun and casual.
