I loveeeee Lakeview Harbor. Great burgers. I'm talking port of call burgers without the rats (allegedly please don't sue me I saw what I saw) and these loaded and then some baked potatoes ugh soooo good. They've got a pretty extensive menu so no matter your mood, they've got you covered. Burgers are their specialty, not the smash kind, but them thick chargrilled beefy goodness. It's a little divey but I love that vibe. Haley is the best bar tender this side of Carrollton Ave. read more

Should remove a star for the fries alone. Asked for crispy golden French fries, the second time asking. They can't fry French fries to save their lives. Just get the tots, must be a different person frying those because they are always crispy. Ok, third time was a charm smh. My waitress brought the pale fries to the kitchen and she came back with some pretty decent fries. This was after I wrote the updated review. read more

I ordered delivery, and because I was so hungry, I turned to Lakeview. I had never eaten there but neighbors & friends raved about their burgers. This is one of the top sub-par burgers I've ever eaten. Burgers King has a more favorable hamburger. I also got the corn on the cob. It was piping hot! What a plus!! However, one bite revealed that it had been cooked in crab boil, I am guessing the icky liquid kind. Way too sweet. Establishments should fully disclose the cooking methods on the menu, especially where something like crab boil is involved. A totally disappointing experience. read more

always so good everytime we go!! definitely a busy spot but if you don't mind the wait the food is delicious!

Are you a salad person? Don't overlook Lakeview Harbor--while they're famous for their burgers, I tried the Harbor salad and it was absolutely delicious. They offer a variety of salads, so you're sure to find one you love. The portion size is huge, so you're likely to have leftovers! Brewington really outdid himself with tonight's dinner--much appreciated! They also have toppings; I ordered fried chicken, but you can also choose grilled chicken or shrimp. Bring your appetite because you'll need it! A shout-out to Christine, our fantastic waitress--ask for her if you visit--and Lynn, the gracious hostess! read more

waitress was good, but the food was poor. i ordered a burger well done and it was burnt including the bun was black! burger was horrible. my friend got the chicken parm which was one of the specials of the day. she said it tasted like can sauce. my husband got the fish tacos which were ok, not with r $16 for three tacos. will not return to this restaurant. read more

Great food, great service, great ambiance, great people! Can't recommend this place enough!!

Excellent food and service! Rae and Amanda have done such an amazing job with the place! The burgers are the best in the city!

Food is great. Sondra is a wonderful server. Everything i've ever had is cooked to perfection. Hamburger is always the best bet.

Great restaurant! Food is always served fast and delicious! The staff is always very attentive.

Lakeview Harbor is in a great location near the lakefront and the restaurant and bar area have a relaxed and casual vibe. Ordered the spinach dip and it's tasty. However, it comes with chips that resemble and taste like Tostitos. I would order this appetizer again though! For my entree, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. This sandwich is juicy, tastes good, and comes with a baked potato. One of my main critiques of Lakeview Harbor is that everything is a charge. To sub fries instead of the baked potato is over two dollars and if you do get the baked potato, every topping is a charge. I will continue to go to Lakeview Harbor because I enjoy the chicken sandwich and the vibes! read more

Good service. Food was fresh and tasty. I will go again. The restaurant was clean and roomy read more

Parking is terrible, not much parking. Waitress was super rude. Smash burger special $10 comes with no sides at all (photo attached) and is super thin, they kept on smashing! Avoid the smash burger! Baked potato on the side was $4.50 (cheese extra $1.50, bacon extra $1.50, sour cream extra $1.25. So basically $10 for a potato! Avoid this place if you can. Much better food at other places. read more

amazing food and service!!! One Of the best burgers around!!! Always a great time out there with family and friends!

Great cheeseburger and baked potato. Also tried the fried pickles and they were delicious- lightly breaded and with a nice dipping sauce. The burger is huge and it's cooked to perfection. Added bacon and cheddar. It's a good 1/2 pound, so you'll leave full. Atmosphere is good, very casual. If you're looking for a great burger, add this to your just visit places. read more

Some good menu items but it's a gamble. Staff is incredibly rude 99% of the time whether busy or dead.

We came for my husbands birthday but have been before and they're consistently good. Burgers cooked nicely with fresh meat, good apps and service. My husband got a burger that was a special and said it was different but really good. I got a regular cheese burger, delicious! Comes with a huge baked potato, you can load it. It's about $21 for a cheeseburger and a loaded baked potato which is steep but you're on the lake it's to be expected. We got an order of fried mushroom, it was only a half order but you got a lot for $6.50. The wings are good, but the buffalo sauce is what pulls it together for me. My son got fried shrimp and it was a nice amount and they were good I tried one. Our server Bailey was really sweet and helpful. Overall a great place. They also have a bar attached that looked really fun! read more

Can't say enough good things about this lakeview neighborhood staple! The wings are amazing! The steaks are consistent. The smoked beans are absolute ! Even their chili is respectable! No beans in that though... Probably the most consistent, yet unassuming restaurant in lakeview/lakeside. Always my go to. Never had a bad meal or experience here. read more

poor service - this is the big easy -don't be rude. train your team how is it that everyone is in professional and mean.

They charge several dollars for all additions like cheese jalapeños etc and every time I've been there something is missing. Scammy.

Sadly disappointed with our dinner. This will be a one and done for us. Over priced and good quality was not good. $11.00 for potato skins that you could tell were out of the freezer. The fried pickles were okay but the bottom layer were soaked in grease. We were excited for the roast beef poboy until it came out looking like dog food on a pistolet. See pics. read more

It's filled properly fried chicken and a good Caesar dressing. If you're looking for a light meal to share, this would work. The beans are amazing. They got plenty of meat and just enough heat to make you want some more. In the top ten beans I've had. The service has been great for a weekday. The weekends it can get kinda crowded, but the staff is great. It's got that dive bar feeling kinda like port-o-call, so don't expect a quiet environment--but don't fret--The food is great. Deff worth coming by. read more

This is my first time here in many years, and my first time going to this location. I'll preface this review by saying that the burger is the only thing I've ever gotten at LH. The last time I went at the old location the burger was small and sad and over cooked. My husband and I really wanted Port of Call but they were packed so we decided to give LH another try. So glad we did! We got the pork belly burnt end app which was very good. Then we both got the burger, medium rare, with mushrooms and cheese, and a salad with bleu cheese dressing as the side. The burger was perfectly cooked, tasted incredibly fresh. The salad was big for a side salad and the dressing was delicious! If you haven't been in a while, you should give them a try. read more

My first time at Lakeview Harbor. Great local Place with the locals still enjoying the ambiance and great Louisiana cuisine. Service was great, food hot and enjoyed my meal. read more

Went here one day when Port of Call was closed for repairs and I was craving a monsoon. Came here because of the overlap in menus, and was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger the menu was. The pricing is about the same, but it feels less comfortable here. Just hard wooden chairs in a more corporate feeling type atmosphere. Ordered my typical burger, potato, and typhoon. I was really annoyed that all the toppings were extra, so I had to go sparingly. Service was okay, can't really complain, but it wasn't the experience that I was looking for. The food was okay. The price was fine, except for adding all the toppings in separately. Overall? Just okay. Would I go back? Probably not, but for what it was worth, it was fine. read more

So my co-worker and I were talking about places to get a good hamburger and he recommended this restaurant. The service was the highlight of the night. We had just come from Cafe Du Monde in City Park and wanted to get something more substantial than beignets. Overall, the food was underwhelming. Everything needed seasoning. My wife and I split the original burger, which came with a baked potato. We also ordered a side of onion rings. My son got the chicken tenders and my daughter shared a shrimp platter with her friend, which came with fries and corn and shrimp bisque. As I stated earlier, everything was under seasoned. The onion rings were ok; the baked potato, while cheesy and bacony, was just ok; the burger was ok. When asked how was your shrimp, my daughter responded by saying "I've had better." Something was off with the bisque. Can't explain it, but I took one sip and was turned off. My wife didn't care for it either. So maybe this isn't the place to get seafood. As for the chicken tenders, they looked and smelled great. Honestly, everything looked and smelled great. So when my son said he was full after eating four and didn't want to take the rest home, I was suspicious. This boy can put away some food. Maybe it was an off night. The restaurant was clean and they have great looking tv screens throughout the place. It might be off the chain if you're drunk. But if that's the case, you could save yourself some money and go to Waffle House. read more

I love this place. I do miss the old location because this place does not have that divey vibe, but this location is good and it is HUGE. Good for Saints games or any group you wanna bring. The staff is always on point. They are knowledgeable and fast. I was with some sour peeps, unfortunately. And I hesitated to answer the question on what I recommend they order since it only results in negativity, but I said of course everything is good here, but they are known for their burgers and delicious fully loaded baked potatoes. I was actually torn between ordering those yummy jumbo fried shrimp poboys they have here. I ended up ordering the cheese burger and the fully loaded baked potato. And of course the complaints of my unfortunate company, began. They were irritated that they had to pay extra for every topping on the burger and the potato, and sadly inflation is affecting EVERYTHING, they just wanted to complain though of course. The glistening burger arrives with that sweet, fully loaded baked potato just as I remember it. It took up the entire plate. I freaking love this burger. And I never used to eat burgers with the white raw onion. Now I do all the time! I also can never get my baked potatoes to taste as melty good as these potatoes are. What are you people doing?! How do you do make them so fluffy?! I bit into that glistening burger and that meat just melts. It tastes almost like it's ground up filet mignon or beef tongue, something super tender. It was amazing and I heard angles sing! Then, the singing angles were ripped from my peaceful ear drums in sort of a scratched record sound to the tone of barking from the complaints of my sour co-diner. Her burger was too pink for her liking, she didn't approve of her burger falling apart either, and she made sure - I knew - she should have ordered the fried shrimp poboy. Knowing my only flaw was mentioning what this place is known for, I closed my eyes in response to her misery she was trying to suck me into and took another bite of that glorious, melting, fliet mignon type burger and the angels returned! I finished that entire plate in like 2.5 minutes. Although, this particular dining experience was not as wonderful as past ones, that was not the restaurants' fault. I give this place 5 stars all day, every day. And that burger and potato - 1 million stars! read more

I really wanted a nice crisp Caesar salad before work so I planned enough time for a normal restaurant lunch. But apparently not enough for Lakeview Harbor. When I arrived, there was no hostess in sight and one couple was already waiting at the counter. Not having an abundance of time, I took a few steps into the dining room. There were no customers, but the staff (all the staff) had pushed 3 4-tops together and were carefully setting them up. I told the server that I had limited time and that there were already others waiting for the hostess. The server looked at me as though I was totally inappropriate and said "we're setting a table." Again, no one except all of the employees was in the dining room. (And BTW, that critically important table that they were setting had only seated 2 people by the time I left.) My bad. I know better, I should've left then. Eventually a young man came out and said that I could seat myself. I wasn't given a menu, but ordered what I could remember from a previous visit so that I wouldn't miss an opportunity to order. The nice, crisp Caesar salad may have been crisp a day or two ago, but not today, and the dressing was so salty that I couldn't eat it. My drink was not what I had ordered. I also ordered some cheese sticks, they were passable, but a long way from good. I took those with me because I was hungry and running out of time. That would have been enough for a crappy experience but, they added something extra! A football game on the large screen TVs -- normally no problem, until they cranked up the volume so high that dining chairs were vibrating with the sound. (At this point there were still only 7 adults in the dining room -- 5 of them trying to hold conversations plus 2 toddlers who couldn't yell loud enough to be heard over the tv.) In summary: $27+ for some somewhat edible cheese sticks in a completely inhospitable environment. read more

My husband told me about this little place after he had a delicious and affordable filet mignon one day for a lunch break. Obviously I had to Yelp it first. And seeing that it had low reviews, I was naturally hesitant. BUT I always like to try places for myself and give them the benefit of the doubt...and I'm so glad I did! It was brunch time when we came so I was leaning more towards something breakfasty so I got the chicken and waffles instead of the filet mignon that the hubs so desperately wanted me to try. Also, they offered breakfast and lunch menu so we had a lot to choose from! We ordered a half order of onion rings as an app and chicken and waffles and a ribeye with eggs for entree. Let me just say, they do not skimp on the portion sizes. And we like a good bang for your buck. The half order of onion rings was larger than we thought and it was pretty good! They're huge in size and the batter was very crispy and flavorful. The chicken and waffles was soo delicious! The chicken tenders were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The waffles had a slight crisp on the outside, but fluffy on the inside. Paired with syrup on the side..my mouth is watering! I can be picky with my home fries but these were soft and also packed with flavor-not just potatoey like some other home fries can be. My husband's steak was delicious as well. Cooked perfectly, paired with some sunny side up eggs and home fries as well. He couldn't complain! The steak was nicely seasoned and the eggs add a nice breakfasty touch. Since I didn't get the filet mignon that we actually came here for, we're definitely coming back! Also can't wait to try other items on the menu. Definitely recommend! read more
