Visited this restaurant after an early morning run in White Rock Lake. The parking is convenient and the restaurant's proximity to the trail is a winner. The staff member who served us was amazing. She was funny, friendly and gave the best recommendations. Prompt and impeccable service! The food tasted good and everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. The patio seating was perfect for a lazy brunch after some running. This is an easy choice of restaurant if you are looking for a quick bite after a stroll around White Rock Lake. Pricing : Moderate Will I return? : Absolutely. read more

Hot fries, cold steak. I think we got a steak someone else sent back to the kitchen. 2nd time reviewing, but so tremendously disappointed with the food tonight. Service was ridiculously slow with the server also working the packed tables due to an event, but the customers and quality shouldn't be the ones who are short changed just because management didn't make a better effort with handling increased demand. We waited awhile before getting menus, to order, to get any food. Service was friendly but overburdened. We FINALLY got our food. Mussels were good, but rushed and there were shells, for once, in the sauce. Mac and cheese was thrown together and just one notch about the blue box you get for a dollar at the grocery store. I shouldn't have paid more than $3 for it. My daughter was STARVING, so she ate it. On to the main meal I used to talk my daughter into waiting for over an hour: the hangar steak. Her first time trying this amazing cut of beef. But it was so DAMN COLD!!! WTH???? The fries were hot and tasty, but the steak was cold like maybe someone sent it back and we got it. It didn't fit the cook on the fries. She said the flavor was there, she can eat a lukewarm steak, but it was COLD. I'm so angry. The server asked if I wanted to speak to a manager. For what? I just paid and will never go back. Lake House RUINED my daughter's entire impression of one of the best and most underrated cuts of beef. read more

Had a great time patio dining with fellow Yelp brunchers. After a little cardio at White Rock Lake Trail we dined here. Had refreshing cocktails my favorite was the Cool As A Cucumber $12 which had Gin, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, Mint Leaves, and Cucumber. It was well balanced out, I was worried the mint would power the cucumber but thankfully I had nothing to worry about! For my meal I ordered the Portabella Wrap $16 which had onion, yello and green squash, roasted bell pepper, mozzarella, baby spinach, basil pesto cream sauce, Portabella mushrooms all wrapped kn a sun dried tomato wrap. Loved all of the veggies, the thick cut of mozzarella, and the dressing that just brought all the flavors together! I had the chance to try their breakfast potatoes, nicely seasoned and crispy, just how I love them to be. read more

Really fortunate to have visited on a really nice day. We sat out back in the patio and it may have been the perfect brunch weather. This may be my fist time to recommending tots on any of my review. Haha. This place have really good quality and delicious food. I ordered their Lake House Burger and it's really very good, complemented with the best tater tots I've ever had. Juicy and very tasty burger with we seasoned crispy outside and tender inside tater tots. That plate was 10/10!! Service was pleasant and attentive. Definitely a good stop when in the area. read more

So great! Loved this spot! Great customer service, great atmosphere, and food taste great! Order the burger. Made it custom with no purple onions, cooked medium, added mayo, ketchup, mustard/ and extra pickles - this is a must! Bun is a signature with the pickles on top, some of the best I've had! Your choice of fries, tots, or sweets! Get the tots ! I'll be back! Parking in the back! - covered patio area! read more

Met other Yelpers for brunch. Great morning for a meal on their patio (which is dog friendly, incidentally). I am not a huge egg fan but the Crab Benedict sounded so good, I couldn't resist and I was not disappointed. This particular Benedict is on wheat toast instead of English muffin. Not a bad trade at all! The only negative would be that the bread got kind of soggy, more than just from the egg yolk. The flavor was very good and even though it doesn't look like a large portion, I found it very filling. I ordered mine with fresh fruit, which was very refreshing. I had the option of potatoes but decided against them since my boyfriend ordered their tater tots and I knew I would be sneaking some...now those were delicious! Soooo crispy and salty, but not too salty...no ketchup needed! They had the option of traditional mimosas and pineapple mimosas, as well as poinsettias (cranberry juice and champagne). I didn't try them but people in our party enjoyed them. If you order a carafe rather than a single drink, they bring the carafe of champagne and the juice in separate containers so you can adjust the ratio to your own liking. We had outstanding service and great food. Definitely a place to go back to. read more

First time here, met some friends and had brunch on the patio. The service was great, she checked on us frequently making sure our needs were being met and she got everything out to us accurately. I ordered a beer flight - basically told her what I liked in regards to beers and let her pick them for me. I really enjoyed the cider and would come back for a glass of it. I also named off a few options I was looking at and she told me the Benedict or the chicken and waffle. I went with the later. Overall it wasn't bad but it was not what I was expecting for C&W. I got what seemed like a pounded chicken breast on top of a waffle. Although I could see seasoning on the chicken, it ate flat. What I really enjoyed was the cubed potatoes. I seriously could have ordered that and drank my cider while watching the game and been in heaven. The person sitting next to me got the BLT - I guess I missed that because I love a good BLT - and it came with tater tots that she said were delicious - so their potato game is on point. Would I come back? . . . I would & I'd give something else a try as it was apparent that I missed a lot that was on the menu. read more

Great experience at my first visit to this place! Met some friends here for lunch and loved the place at first sight! You really feel like you are at a boat or lake house when you pull up. When you walk in the ambiance continues to lake house feel. On nice days, they can even lift up the rolling doors to put a nice breeze that rolls through the place. Our service was really good. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. We had everything we needed throughout our experience. I ordered a shrimp poor boy, that in addition to the shrimp had a fried green tomato on it. I would have never paired these items on a sandwich, but not only did it work, it worked like magic! It was amazing! Great experience, we will be back! read more

Just finished a delicious Easter brunch at Lake House. The Huevos Rancheros was seriously the best I have ever had! Flawless service by Cindy! We will definitely be back. They serve brunch Saturday and Sunday. They also have an extensive menu and nice back patio! I will take a picture to share next time I am there as I am certainly going again! read more

Stopped by this restaurant one evening after work. It's a quiet place, good little outdoor seating area. It's definitely an older crowd. They played 80's music. The decor is all lake themed, and yes, technically, it's somewhat adjacent to White Rock Lake, but don't get fooled: there aren't any lake views. I tried a wedge salad, which oddly had a lot of lemon flavor, and an old fashioned which was so-so. The bartender was friendly enough - they run some happy hour specials if you get there before 7. read more

This is based solely as a neighborhood restaurant and not fancy, just comfy and good. We only stopped in with for a quick happy hour as we had plans later. We had eaten there a few years ago before they closed to revamp, that was not a good experience. As it is close to home, wanted to give them a second chance. First, dog friendly patio, big kudos in my book. Second, Monday night is apparently 1/2 price wine night and Harken Chardonnay at $21 is a win! We ordered some mussels so as not to waste their table. Yum, yum, yum. If we didn't have plans, I'd have ordered another dozen. They were delicious, the chorizo doesn't overpower the flavor which it usually does. Not a ton of GF choices, but enough and they have GF buns so I will try them next time. Our server was thoughtful, kind, and between her and the manager everything was great! read more

Lake House Bar and Grill never disappoints, the service is always great, the food hot and freshly made and the drinks are always cold and refreshing. Tonight I sat at the bar, enjoyed a Lakewood Temptress, a brisket sandwich and the All-star game with the husby as we enjoyed our dinner at a place that always feels welcoming and familiar. This is definitely one of our favorite neighborhood hangouts. The brisket sandwich was very good with a generous portion of both brisket and sausage, it was topped with napa cabbage and the bread was toasty and chewy and held up well to the juicy meat. The garlic butter fries were so delicious, you definitely have to try them anytime you come here. read more

Food was average or below average at best. Slow service. You are paying for the outside patio which is a nice setup and vibe. Dog friendly.

The staff remains courteous and gracious and I like the open air ambiance. Something has changed. My last three visits to The Lake House have not impressed. A year ago the quality and menu specials were delicious. The food quality has declined substantially. After three tries, I don't think there will be a fourth. read more

Nice getaway(feels like it) from the city. Came on a Sunday, had the meatloaf, pork chops, Muscles and cider. Relaxing environment with great attentive staff. read more

Service is excellent, I felt like Norm walking into Cheers. They clearly get hospitality and how to make you feel welcome.

Ok food. Service was pleasant. Note: they charge extra for sour cream when we ordered steak tacos.....wish server would have told us...kid friendly..clean bathrooms. Mussels didn't taste fresh. read more

My partner and I went on our usual run around white rock lake and after being in 96 degree weather for a couple of hours, we needed a cold crisp beer. We stumbled upon this spot *literally* and sir, had 2 hazy ipa's and I had a Kolsch and then a michelada. Both were exactly what we needed and wanted. The miche was perfectly made and the juice tasted light and not too heavy to where I didn't want to finish my food. The presentation isn't pictured because I was far too excited to just get a big gulp. We ended up moving from the bar to the patio since they had plenty of fans and the set up was nice. For starters we had the chips and salsa, can never go wrong with that on a hot day. For my partners entree he had the shrimp poboy. He's from Louisiana and was skeptical at first because of the fried tomatoes but he LOVED IT. Every bite was the most perfect combination of savory and salty with a hint of sweetness from the chunky, thick sweet pickles he asked to add inside. His entree came with an option of sweet potatoes chips (fries), regular chips or salad, we of course went with the regular chips. If you're a fan of a crispy on the outside and soft on the inside type of chip, then you'll love these. The salt was my favorite. Pretty sure it's kosher salt which makes it THAT much better. I usually douse my chips in ranch but these didn't even need anything *chefs kiss*. I had the wedge salad and no joke, it was THEE best wedge salad I've had in my entire existence. I'm a big salad girl and so is my man but this one, we could eat every day and never get tired of it. The iceberg lettuce was fresh, the crunch is always the best part of those types of greens. The brown butter baked pecans with the blue cheese crumble and the best part yet, lemon vinaigrette, all were a bursts of flavors that tasted like absolute HEAVEN in my mouth. It was light, cool, citrusy and savory. YUM. I also added a side of the shrimp which were grilled and seemed to be glazed with the best of their seasonings. Had a somewhat herbal flavor to them that I can't get out of my head. They were insane. Can't wait to go back and try out their dinner menu and of course get those delicious fries again Cindy was our waitress. She was incredibly nice, enthusiastic about her place of work which made it all that much more welcoming, and had a way with words when describing the food. She ALMOST had me switch my choice to the crab sandwich but I couldn't be nudged. The lemon vinaigrette was the Apple of my eye and I am so glad I went with it definitely trying that next time Cindy! Ps. The patio is dog friendly so please bring your furry animals! Excited for Cooper and Simba to join next time and meet the great waitstaff read more

I didn't think much of this place when it was brought up on our debate to go eat. But I went with it as they said it was delicious. And that's a understatement of what was to come with our meal. Turns out everything is scratch made and made with a whole lotta love. Started with some local craft beer and ordered the hot wings with house made ranch and blue cheese, Perfectly crisp and cooked. My brother had the shrimp Po' boy sandwich. Colossal tender shrimp and that bread? Wow. Reminded me of New Orleans bread (if you know, you know) the service was exceptional as our server was personable and honest with recommendations. My brother and his wife had made this a regular weekly stop and I can't wait to go back the next time in I'm Dallas. read more

Ordered to-go for the family from this local spot. Food was extremely good. BLT was tasty and good sized. Tater tots were awesome; perfectly crunchy and not too salty! Steak tacos were good. Chicken breast - a special request - was well-seasoned and tender. Lava cake with creamy vanilla ice cream was a nice finish (though the chocolate sauce on the side would have been even better). read more

I really liked this place and would for sure go back if I'm in Dallas again. Don't let the theme or atmosphere deceive you. It's laid back place with really good food! First of all the service was incredible. Our waitress and the manager were both super attentive and awesome. The food was good. Their tater tots were perfection. It's a weird thing to say but their ice tea was very good, I was told it's a special blend. I would have taken a gallon with me if that was offered (did take a to go cup). They have gluten free options which is a huge bonus. Beer and bar selection was solid. read more

This restaurant is near (not on) White Rock Lake, just as a heads up. Its name comes from the decor inside which is very quaint and meant to look like a lake-on bar and grill, which I really love. Great TV and bar set-up for watching sports, which I love, and a good draft beer selection, The food is really good for a reasonably priced local spot. I really like the burgers, and my wife loves the salmon. The service is about average, but the owner John is very responsive if you have any issues. We live nearby and come here often, and he really tries to connect with his patrons who become regulars. Overall, I rate it a solid 5-star local place. If it was on the lake, it'd be 9.5 of 10 stars, but there aren't really any restaurants on White Rock Lake, and this is the closest in terms of decor we got. Totally recommend this spot to anyone in the area, or those just visiting. read more

You know a place is special when the chef, Ray, makes it a point to connect with his guests. Whether it's a busy Friday night or a quiet weekday lunch, the Lakehouse staff works together seamlessly to make every visit awesome.This restaurant isn't just about amazing food--it's about the people behind it. The staff greets us like an old friend, and the food feels like it's been made just for us. This little gem is more than just a place to eat--it's where you catch up with friends, celebrate milestones, and enjoy food that's better than anything you could make at home. We (and our kids) find Lakehouse our home away from home and I encourage you to try it again if it's been a spell since you've been there...it will not disappoint!d to perfection. It's the kind of place that makes you feel lucky to live nearby. read more

Came here to have lunch with my family and celebrate my mom's 70th birthday (her choice)! Service was fantastic; a bit slow, but they had a posting that they were short-staffed due to COVID and I could tell our server was very aware of all of her tables and checked in with us to make sure we were good. Appetizers were amazing- the queso was a huge hit with kids and adults alike. Lunch was great and huge portions. The icing on top of the cake? (Pun absolutely intended) When we came in, I had my mom's birthday cake and a separate platter in my hand. The manager came up and offered to refrigerate it in the kitchen, and then brought it out when it was time to sing and had the cake precut. It made my mom's birthday even more special!!! I'm very grateful to the staff read more

I want them to do well, because they are a hidden gem! I had it in my memory that they were not so good from old reviews, but friends wanted to meet there, so I read the recent reviews and was encouraged, if not excited. Thanks reviewers! We visited for the first time Thurs. 6/20/24 from 5:30 - 8 pm for happy hour (4-7pm M-F) and then dinner, and when we arrived, it wasn't too crowded. By the time we left it was filling up. The service was great, the happy hour a treat, with the lowest priced martinis I know of around here, and we had a great time catching up. I was really hungry, so I chose the Caprese Salad as my appetizer and the Basil Puree on it was so fresh. It hit the spot as did the Vodka Martinis and later wine. Friends got the Queso & Chips as an appetizer, and for dinner, hubby and I shared the Caesar Salad and the Honey Blue Flatbread which actually had a firm crust and was really, really tasty! One friend got the fish special of blackened Mahi-Mahi (absolutely delicious, not too salty, PERFECTLY cooked!) with really good Brussels Sprouts and the other got the pork chop & accoutrements. They let us taste and I tell you, these were elevated dishes... in a casual but refreshed bar/restaurant. It is landlocked, with a fanned back patio and a front patio overlooking parking lots and next to a Liquor Store, but when inside it's really pleasant and bright. Even the wood chairs are made well and only boney bums have trouble sitting for a long time (bring a cushion if so because you'll want to spend time here). But, be aware of the sun setting coming through the window as we were fortunate we could move tables. We complimented the Chef to our server, and she passed on and not long after Ray came out to inquire how our food was...he said don't call him Chef, he's just Ray. So humble, because it's probably tough to be called a grille when you're serving elevated main courses cooked to perfection and presented well! Turns out we'll be visiting again tonight, just me and hubby. Thanks to Ray and the team, it's our new casual go-to for economical and delicious treats and eats! Apologies, we should have taken photos but we hadn't seen each other in a year, so that's not where our purpose was. read more
