    bacon egg and cheese on croissant with potatoes
    Jossairy M.

    The service was amazing! The staff were super nice and kept checking in on us. The food was great. The star of the show was the cinnamon roll it was so soft and goey on the inside. There was also quite a bit of seating. I wish I would have taken a picture but I sat in the best seat overlooking the lake it was just beautiful.

    It's been a few months and since I've only been here once, I was surprised the waitress remembered my exact order? Potato soup was hot and very good with a cream base I had the farm steak sandwich with well done fried potatoes. I enjoyed both. If there was something to recommend it would be a longer roll for the sandwich with a good portion hanging out both sides . Service was outstanding from Felicia!

    Finding a restaurant that does justice to traditional Polish flavors is rare, but this family-owned…read moregem is the real deal. As someone who grew up eating Polish food, this is some of the most authentic cooking I've had in some time. The galumpki was easily the best I've ever had, and both the borsch and the crocket were absolutely out of this world. We also shared a Polish platter, which offered your usual items --Polish sausage, galumpki, sauerkraut, potatoes and pierogi. All very good! Beyond the food, the atmosphere is exactly what I like to see from a family-run business. It has a wonderful, homey supper club feel that makes you want to linger, complemented by a great view that adds to the overall experience. What truly sets the place apart is the personal touch from the owners. They frequently wander throughout the dining room to check in on everyone, often sitting down to chat and making you feel like a guest in their own home rather than just a customer at a table. We're very much looking forward to returning (again!) to explore more of the menu and finally save enough room to try one of their desserts. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine taste of Poland.

    We went here with high hopes. The patio and view of the lake are nice. Cute wood cabin vibe. I was…read moreexcited to try the pierogis after seeing good reviews of them. The potato and cheese ones were very bland and pretty soggy. The pickle soup was fun to try. Apple pie was homemade and very good. Service was a little slow, but we've had worse. At the end of our meal, the accordion player came out, which we had been interested in hearing before we left. However, he proceeded to make a loud racist comment in discussion with another table. The 2 other tables around us burst into laughter. Needless to say this is not a place I feel welcome, and I will not spend money here again.

The food was good, and we usually go to Timothy O'Tools because of the wider and diverse menu. The food was very good, and we had the October Wienerschnitzle dinners and they were very good. We weren't in a hurry, and Daniella came to check on us many times, and so did Sam the GM and got the tv's just right for the Cubs game!!! Thank you Sam for that. We had just a pleasant experience, and the reason of the one less star is not any fault of the place or the people- now at- but to the owners: The menu is slightly less diverse than Libertyville's. Maybe because of storage space or smaller kitchen, but we sure do miss the tuna bowl, and the chicken entree on the lettuce, which is our staple in Libertyville. Match Libertyville's menu and you've got that extra star!!! So: No matter... we'd go back not only for the food & drink- the apple cobbler was good- but Sam and Daniella made the difference. They're great people, and we tipped her very well for the extra efforts. (It was 34% of the bill). -Again you're welcome Daniella. You busted tail and it was our pleasure- you earned it. We also waited for Sam to come to us and we personally thanked him for all the accommodations. You made us feel like VIP's and as promised, we wanted to give you all the recognition you deserve...

We walked in and they seated us fairly quickly, we were sat at a table but asked for a booth and there were a few opened but they said they werent available, which was fine, I dont think they had a lot of staffing on this day so I understand. The inside was nicely decorated with Chicago sports teams which was so nice. We ordered the Garlic Parmesan boneless wings, the birria grilled cheese and a kiss chicken tender and fries fpr my nephew. The garlic Parmesan wings were clearly frozen then fried which is not how I remember them, the breading was seperating from the chicken and the vreadign was so hard :/ the birria grilled cheese was very flavorful and juicy with such a nice crust on the bread. And my nephew really enjoyed his kids meal. Overall, I thought the staff was great but the boneless wings not so much..

    I'm a frequent guest at The Lakehouse and have always enjoyed coming here, which is why this…read moreexperience was especially disappointing. On Sunday, I visited and ended up waiting about 20 minutes due to new staff training. I understand training is necessary, but the situation felt disorganized and unfortunately reflected poorly on the restaurant overall. Then on Monday, I returned around 7:00 PM and was turned away entirely, which was frustrating--especially as a regular customer who makes a point to support this place. There was no clear explanation or effort to accommodate, and it left me feeling unwelcome. I've had many good experiences here in the past, so I hope this was just an off couple of days. That said, consistency and communication matter, particularly for loyal customers. I really hope management takes a closer look at how these situations are handled moving forward

What is the point of a reservation if you aren't reserving a table? I completely understand a 5-10 minute wait. However, It should not be on the customer if you overbooked reservations. The ambiance is great and the food is yummy, but I feel jaded by the reservation situation along with the attitude of the hosts.

The chicken shishkabob I ordered was seasoned well, the vegetables were grilled nicely, and the baked potato was fine. That said, the portion-to-price ratio on this particular dish was really hard to swallow. For $25, I expected a much more substantial plate. One skewer with literally four pieces of chicken and a potato on it is pretty ridiculous at that price point. Typically, shishkabobs are served in pairs to begin with, so four cubes of chicken on a stick for $25 is excessive. And that was on "Special". The food was good, but the value just wasn't there. I'll still come back because the place has a nice feel; the staff are friendky, and the meal wasn't bad by any means, but I'd definitely order something else the next time unless the portion size on the shishkabob is adjusted.
