Good food, reasonable price and the prime rib on Saturday is awesome. Good servers, pub atmosphere

We had an awful experience here due to the waitstaff. Horrible attitude off the bat. We asked for a drink menu and she said there isn't one. The table next to us had one. Odd. The food runner made a face when dropping our food to the table...these people must absolutely hate working here and it showed. The wrap and soup we ate were great but will never be back to be treated like trash. Awful. read more

I got a Ceasars salad. Can't mess that up. Wrong. The dressing did not taste good at all. My husband got a piece of fish. That was fine. But the waiting to get seated. Forget about it. We were waiting for a table. And some lady behind us, sat herself. My husband said to the host. WTH he said she insisted on sitting herself. I'm like, hell no bitch. We all wait our turn. I had to walk away. Or I would be in jail. The establishment did nothing. Never going back again. You are literally all on top of eachother. read more

Great local place! Hidden next to total wines Keno is a fun plus! Definitely will return read more

Worst service at the bar in my lifetime. They don't pay attention. Girl named Katie is extremely rude. Older woman Lisa is ridiculous she talks to her friends and ignores customers. read more

We visit Lakeside Bar & Grill almost exclusively for takeout food, not that we wouldn't enjoy dining there, but that is just our lifestyle right now. The food is delicious and the portions are always enough for two meals. The owner and staff are wonderful, always kind and helpful. I recommend this restaurant highly !!! It's a Shrewsbury gem !!! read more

The food was delicious! The steak tips are Devine and well seasoned! The shrimp on my salad was so well cooked, I would order it again! The staff could have been better. After waiting 30 min, they gave my table away! Never called me or anything. On top of that, gave me the wrong plate and also are not as friendly as I would have thought. Other than that, great restaurant! read more

I have been going to Lakeside since they opened and I have never had a bad meal. The food is consistently good and the prices are awesome. The drinks are well made and they have keno. Service is always top notch. read more

Stopped in prior to a hockey game at Buffone Arena. It's located in a strip mall and I almost drove by it. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside there were only a few seats available, which was a good sign. The menu is a bar and grille menu with a ton of sandwiches (also available as wraps), many burger choices and quite a few salads too. There are also entrees, but we were just there a beer and sandwich. The four of us all got different sandwiches (3 wraps and 1 sandwich). One got chips, I got onion straws, another fries and the 4th got cole slaw. The slaw and pickles were homemade and delicious. The onion straws were excellent. Everyone raved about their sandwiches too. Service was prompt and courteous. Definitely going back. read more

First and absolutely last time. There were five of us, my girlfriend's meal arrived after everyone else was almost done eating, basically the same time that the check did. We were never offered a second drink, or even a drink menu, and our server had no idea what beers were available. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had, I made the choice and I'm absolutely mortified about my decision. read more

Ordered takeout for my family and went to pick it up and realized it was a whole different order that was given to us once we got home. Luckily it wasn't too far of a drive to drive back and switch out the order for ours. That wasn't really even that big of a deal for us... yeah we were starving and the inconvenience of going back and forth was definitely annoying but we get it it was super busy and a simple mistake. I finally arrive back home with the correct order STARVING and take out my Cobb salad... 2 bites in and I find a WAD of black hair in my bite. Definitely not hungry anymore! This is also after us giving this place many chances as the food really wasn't great. read more

We finally tried Lakeside Bar and Grill. Not a fancy place - just a pubby type place. I have to say the food was fresh, cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced. I had the California Chicken Wrap Marinated grilled chicken, guacamole, roasted red peppers, thinly-sliced cucumbers and mixed greens with ranch dressing. $13.95. Another person ordered All American Burger topped with American Cheese. All Burgers are 1/2 lb. Black Angus and are served on a Bulkie roll topped with lettuce, tomato and red onion. Also $13.95. Al sandwiches come with freshly cut French fries. They had a rather large menu so there seems to be something for those picky eaters!! I had heard a long time ago that this place was pretty good and "where all the locals go"....well from what we saw - that is true! I'm giving this place a 5 star because they deserve it!! ***** read more

Amazing chowder and great fish sandwich. Great service and friendly atmosphere with great prices. read more

Not on a lake!!! Not even close to one. Food was ok. Has outside seating. Parking lot side. But nicely closed in so you're not looking at lot. But if you think you're going to sit outside on a lake. Nope. read more

Lakeside was busy on Monday 10/14 so service was a little slow as to be expected. Server was nice but inattentive. The Antipasto platter was good except for the tuna fish which was so dry it was like eating sawdust. I wouldn't recommend the antipasto platter because of this major flaw. After eating we needed to contact another server to let our server know we wanted to pay. read more

Great spot! Good food, good service! Friendly environment! This is a spot if enjoy regularly!! read more

Quick pleasant service food is great and priced right ... restaurant is clean and bathrooms clean feels comfy as well

What an unpleasant experience we had as a family. Horrible customer service. The food did not taste fresh.

I went in last week with some buddies. We heard good things about the prime rib and wanted to give it a try. Draft Beers were very cold and 22oz! Good wings and tenders. We all ordered prime rib. Medium rare and rare. They all came out medium well. I mean Completely brown. We asked the waitress to get us new slices and she responded, " sorry they're sending them all out like that.." Well why didn't you tell us beforehand!? They were terrible. Tough and chewy. The only redeeming quality of the entree was the onion strings. They were excellent ! Terrible job on the prime rib. Waste of money. read more

First time at Lakeside Happy they have Keno. Staff very efficient. We had Holly as waitress. Soup was good. Food overall was good except not hot. Calamari not hot and onion ring sides not not. read more

Hit or miss. On a good night, friendly service, great nachos, ok drinks, a decent burger (although "medium rare" seems an elusive goal.) On a bad night, service can range from apathetic to grumpy. Fries/onion rings usually limp and greasy. Meatballs mushy, pasta always overcooked. Turkey dinner ok when they haven't sold out if it. Salads are fine. As others have noted, lots of vocal locals at the bar yelling about sports or politics, depending on who they're more pissed at. Convenient location, plenty of parking, and open late, so it's sometimes the only option available. But more attentive management could make a real difference here. read more

Good neighborhood place to eat. I've always had good service here. The food is good and the service is excellent. Very friendly waitresses.

Small place. Service was pretty good. I had the pastrami sandwich with onion rings. It was perfect not soggy or anything. The place could do with an update though the high top we sat on and the chairs were very wobbly and a little squeaky. read more

the waitress there was unprofessional. I wanted my burger well done and when I told her she started yelling at me. my spoon for my soup was dirty and I was afraid to tell her read more

Not a place I'd recommend. The waitress was nice but the service was slow despite there not being a lot of people there. I had the Mac n cheese which was grainy and greasy. Then there were just flies everywhere. Not planning on going back. read more

It is always interesting to find a restaurant that is popular among the locals. That should mean good food at good price, or at least I think that is the secret recipe for local's choice. We heard this is one of those spot, so we went to check it out. It is a local sports bar, and while we were there, people of all ages kept coming in and out. The inside is not so big, a bit smaller than I expected. It has a long bar counter seating from the entrance to the back, and high table seating throughout the space. They had several TVs on the walls for the sports fans. We went there for lunch, and we were pretty hungry. So, we decided to share an appetizer first. We had no idea what we were getting into at this point... We ordered Quinsigamond Platter, which was HUGE!!! It was too much for the three of us, especially since we all ordered individual lunch item on top of that. We had Fish Sandwich, Meatball & Sausage Combo Sandwich, and The Brenna Salad. Each one was crazy big portion, and at very affordable price. No wonder they are one of the very popular spots among the locals... We took home maybe half the food, as it was just way too much for the three of us. The generous portion of everything is just unbelievable. It was a nice lunch, we were completely stuffed, needed a good nap afterwords. The service was ok, friendly and casual. The atmosphere is comfortable, no-frill, and laid back. If you need a massive amount of comfort food or salad at great price, this is the place to go. read more

Amazing food ! Great staff. Outside seating is perfect if you're not into the tavern/ bar atmosphere.

My husband, myself and our grandsons 7 & 9 had dinner here last night and were very happy. Lasagna and meatballs....very large portion and delicious. BBQ chicken quesadilla...lots of filling and tasty. only negative was some edges were burnt. Chicken bruschetta app very good. Kid's grilled cheese. Could have been cooked more evenly. Fries and onion strings very good. Kid's sundae was awesome. It is noisy. The best part of the experience was our server, Tracy. She went above and beyond making everyone satisfied and happy. Will definitely return. read more

After reading some positive Yelp reviews I stopped in here for lunch. Place was rather crowded which is always a great sign! Seems like there are a lot of locals which is another good sign. Bartender is friendly. Soup was good and the buffalo chicken salad was delicious! I would definitely return. read more

Lovely drive to restaurant. Good handicapped parking. Beach windowed dining room. And the fish was excellent. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant is tucked away off of Route 9 in the same plaza as Trader Joe's and Petco. It was a great little find! They don't have tons of tables but they do have lots of bar seating. It is a fairly small place which I think adds to the great atmosphere. We came here for lunch on a weekday. I got the meatloaf sandwich special - it was really good. Meatloaf can either be really good or awful - this one was flavorful and cheesy! My mother got the pastrami sandwich so I had to try it - pastrami had great flavor and was not fatty at all. The fries I would pass on next time - they were thin and almost tasted burnt. They did not have any crispness to them but I have heard a lot of people say they like them... I also tried the onion strings which were perfect! I would def get them again. The waitress was very friendly and always there when we needed something. We tried to get in here on a Sunday afternoon but they had a 1/2 hour wait - definitely worth the wait if you have the time! And how can you beat $15 for a great lunch for 2? Hard to find these days except at a fastfood joint!! read more

We used to be weekly visitors of lakeside. There was only 2 of us and our waitress forgot both of our drinks to start. I ordered steak tips and sides, both came out cold. The steak was ordered as medium and came out cooked liked leather. I sent them back, not 30 seconds later same plate came out with the same cold food, not even a sad attempt at microwaving overdone beef. I can't remember the last time I sent food back at a restaurant. Don't waste your time visiting lakeside. read more

The cheddar bacon burgers were good - crispy, delicious bacon done right. Very generous serving of French fries or onion strings, although they didn't seem to be hot upon arrival. The Mediterranean platter was also nice, and could either be a complete meal or a nice shared appetizer. The bathrooms were in need of a good cleaning, and the ambiance was mediocre, but good portions of comfort food at fair prices. read more

This hole in the wall is a gem! Excellent service. Best burger we've had in years! Very generous helping of guacamole on the burger. Fries were perfectly crispy and plentiful! Also had the soup and sandwich special. Chicken & rice soup was loaded with chicken and veggies! So good! And my grilled cheese with bacon and tomato was perfectly cooked! Pricing was reasonable too! We will be back! read more

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of my shrimp scampi. Their portions are very large which is amazing. My shrimp scampi was extremely saucy though. Super saucy. Not that it's a horrible thing. It tasted good but it was a little messy. The fries though, if I had an extra stomach just for the fries at this place, I would order extra fries. The fries are thin and crispy, as well as plentiful. They're the portion of fries that if you're out with your gf and you ask her what she wants and she says she's fine with her shrimp scampi and you order a burger and fries you'd be able to survive because they have given you enough for the both of you. read more

Came here tonight based entirely on the positive yelp reviews and pics. Thanks to all the Yelpers out there! You have once again drawn me into a satisfying culinary adventure. Based on pics I had to order the Quinsigamond platter appetizer. Wow. It's a monster meal in its own rights. The wings were tangy, the mozzarella was fresh, and the potato skins on point. It's a heart attack on a plate, not to mention all the onion straws. We took a lot of it home. My meal was the fish and chips. First, the plate was a mountain of fries topped with a piping hot huge piece of nicely breaded fried fish. The tartar sauce was a bit runny for my liking, but tasted good and helped cool it down. Now, for the atmosphere, it was packed. We Had a table next to the bar. They allow people to stand next to the bar, even when no seats at the bar are free. That kinda crowds the nearbyh tables, like ours. I almost felt like i should offer a stander a few fries. Overall a very good meal, huge portions, and nice menu. I'll be back. read more

loud crowd for a Thursday night - there's space on the covered patio if you want quieter - why Thursdays? that's Lasagna night! and get there earlier than we did! Bummer - but the Moroccan platter was a great substitute- we'll get there early on a Thursday next time! The staff was helpful, the beer list was good too. Seems like a good neighborhood place! read more
