    One of the only places in minoaqua area we've found to be dog friendly. Plenty of outdoor seating, waterfront. Lovely atmosphere for a summer day. Classic boat drinks menu and pretty standard outdoor pub food. If you've got a dog and don't want to leave them heat-stroking in the car, I totally recommend here. Just make sure you've got a good dog. The tables are quite close and don't be that person that comes in and upsets the vibe.

    It was an extremely busy Sunday of Labor Day weekend but we had excellent service. Only 32 minutes from seating to food. I had the mahi sandwich & hubby had the chicken wrap, both delicious. Kettle chips fresh made & potato salad side tasted homemade. Will visit here again!

    Cute restaurant off the beaten path. The view was spectacular! Food was wonderful. My husband had a Cajun mahi-mahi sandwich and I had a salmon but wrap. Both were excellent. Potato salad side was very good. I only found this restaurant because of Yelp, so keep posting folks!

    What a beautiful day on Lake Tom, Lake Minocqua and Kwaga. Awesome fish tacos and chicken bacon ranch wrap on Waters edge at Lakeside Grill. Our server Kaitlyn, a soon to be UW-LaCrosse alum, was the best - we really enjoyed our conversation, absolutely the best and most personable service we've experienced in the Northwoods. Mojito and Ice cold beer is the best at Waters edge.

    We love this place. Great location. Yet EVERYTHING is STICKY. I've been here a few times this year and noticed that everything is sticky. The menus are disgusting. Doors, bathrooms and menus are handled by almost every customer and should be cleaned daily. Please review and make changes as we love coming here.

    Ignore the few disgruntled locals, this is a great restaurant. We stopped in from out of town and decided to get an early lunch at Lakeside Grill. It's all outdoor seating and right on the lake so the view is spectacular. My friend and I ordered cheese curds, a chicken club sandwich and a mahi mahi sandwich. The food was excellent. Besides the fries being a little too crispy the meal was perfect. Also ordered a cocktail which was pretty tasty and pretty strong. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lots of customers brought their dogs with them and the staff brought out water dishes for them. This is a very nice, scenic spot and will most likely visit again when in the area.

    Great location, great food, and you can order your choice of drink in bucket form...Perfect for taking to-go on the boat! Pina coladas were the best, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

    Was at Lakeside Grill yesterday for the first time. Walleye fish fry is very expensive for what you get. Won't be back.

    Don't often visit German restaurants. I have to say I was pretty pleased with this one. I had the…read morebrat with a side of potato salad. It was very sizable and delicious. The service was very good and it was fun to watch the waitress come to the table with three big mugs of root beer in one hand I won't say it actually made me feel like I was in Germany, but it was a lot of fun. They have outdoor seating in the back but we ate inside. Totally worth the visit if you want something different!

    We unfortunately had a really bad experience and hadn't even made it to getting our waters yet…read more.. what a disappointment after my husband had grown up going to Minocqua in the summers and was so pumped to finally try Otto's, as he had never been yet. You know that red flag feeling you get after you're seated and no server acknowledges your presence? That was this place. And it was actually the second red flag. When the hostess seated us in the outdoor garden area she informed us it would be 45 minutes until food came out. Interesting information right from the get go. Our group of 5 was puzzled at this....many tables had just cleared out and it seemed that there was plenty of servers and bussers working to handle the amount of customers. From there it just went downhill even further. We ended up finally talking to someone asking if we could switch tables to get out of the direct sun. It took them WAY too long to clear the table they told us we could move to. In the meantime, no one had yet come over to at least give us waters. Once finally at our new table and acknowledged by a server, we put in our drink orders which we kept to waters only because we were at this point questioning bailing. After many minutes of waiting for our waters and never receiving them, we called it quits. We got up and told the server it's been too long, and checking the time it had been 20 MINUTES WITH NO WATERS. The last and worst nail in the coffin was that my mom had a view of our server who had in fact filled our waters towards the back of the garden area and then set them on a tray....and then....was just standing around. Literally. We also witnessed a busser moving at incredibly slow speeds and other servers seeming "busy" but not sure with what....There was absolutely no reason for the delays we experienced. We think the only explanation for all this was that there are simply far too many inefficient workers. Or workers with no sense of urgency or awareness to help one another out. It was quite sad to witness and should be even sadder for the business that they missed out on a customer, and in turn receives a bad review. What a bummer. Will never return.
