    Lake
    Laura B.

    Cozy up north cabin vibes, lots of seating with a Great Lake view too. Loved the food, hand battered cod sandwich was excellent Very friendly staff, will be back when the weather is warm for a patio visit

    Baked spaghetti
    Kristie N.

    From the outside it looks small, but on the inside it's pretty nice size. Really cute place. On the lake. Spaghetti was ok. But to me it was too watery. Needed to be thicker. I don't like a lot of sauce but this didn't have enough. Also cheese was like a cheap cheese when cold it got hard. Bread sticks were good. A bit crispy but it worked. Cream cheese sauce was so good just enough garlic in it. His au ju sandwich (idk exactly what it was lol) but he said the meat was a bit cooked too much as it was charred. Overall I would go again. Service was good. But the plate guys was on point with picking up the dirty dishes!!

    Despite the large line on Mother's day, my daughter and I were seated immediately. Love the atmosphere especially being on the water.....we are coming back in the future to sit outside! We ordered delicious drinks...one was a Mother's day special but the one that took the cake was my daughter's blueberry mule. Wow! We shared food from the mothers day menu....crab cakes with a lobster sauce and BBQ pulled pork quesadilla from the regular menu. All amazing, prompt service despite how busy they were. Can't wait to come back!!

    The deck seats 80-90 people.

    Beautiful, lakeside location. Wonderful food, friendly and competent staff. We truly enjoyed our visit here.

    Lake Inn Steak Sandwich
    Lea D.

    The chicken caprese sandwich was very good I don't usually like balsamic but it was done very well on this sandwich. The only thing I can complain about is that it was pretty greasy. My son didn't care too much for the Alfredo he said it was just okay. My husband said he wouldn't get the steak sandwich again it was dry and just wasn't good. The bread was okay it looked better than it tasted unfortunately because it's quite expensive. If you get to go and it's nice outside sit on the deck! It's beautiful. They are always pretty busy and there's usually a wait to be seated. Service is usually pretty good

    Soup salad and awesome bread!

    Absolutely awesome. Just moved up here on Jan 1. Came here for lunch with guys from my new job. It was great! Decided to bring the wife here for supper. WOW!! I had the full rack of ribs which I could not finish. My wife had the burnt ends Mac and cheese which was also huge. The drinks were potent and affordable. My wife is a margarita lover and really liked the blueberry margarita. The BBQ sauce has a bit of a kick but is amazing! I'm sure we will become regulars here! The views of the lake are also quite nice!

    Large pizza
    Deanna D.

    Very friendly service with great food. We both ate a side salad then shared a large pizza. I love the ambiance of being near or on the water. The wait for sitting on the patio was over an hour so we chose inside and was seated immediately to my surprise. Very busy place. Ample parking

    See all

    Nice dining room and bar area, but frankly the food was pretty lame I would eat somewhere else.

    Always an excellent experience. Worth the 30 minute drive from Lake Orion. Baked spaghetti is great. Everything they have is great.

    Great food, we love sitting on the deck by the lake. The fish tacos are amazing, and the Traverse City chicken salad.
