This place turned out to be a really great place to stop and eat!! A very welcoming and friendly staff, with a beautiful nice sized bar and dining area. The food was excellent and the service was quick with no issues. Definitely head to this place for great food and cold drinks. Great views of the lake, and good music on the jukebox. Will be back for Prime rib Thursday!!! read more

The food is really gross here. Nobody at our table of 6 liked their meal, or thought they'd be back. 3 out of the 6 orders were wrong. One had to go back, one had fries instead of chips, one didn't get the starter salad with the 'specials meal'. Absent waiters/bartenders, gross food, flies hovering around your table while you try to eat....not great. Skip it. read more

Still a good pit stop. Good food and if you like the local pub feel this is the place. Service this time was not great but that has not been the case in the past. So I will give it a pass. Cold beer good food. Good stop. read more

McQ’s Pub At Lake Lenape - French Dip and Salad - Pubs Near Me - Andover, New Jersey

Everything we have eaten at McQ's has been excellent. The service is top notch and the ambiance is wonderful!

By far my favorite burger in sussex county. Very reasonably priced with a homey atmosphere. Wide variety of drink available and good service. Very nice location on lake lenape. read more

I can't actually give it stars for anything, since we sat for about 20 minutes without being acknowledged. We were really looking forward to trying their food, and drink menu. We were not greeted at the door, even though we made eye contact with staff. It seemed a lot of couples that sat at bar tables were being ignored. It's a shame, since I had heard good things about this place. read more

The food is always excellent and the service is always attentive and friendly. A great spot for lunch or dinner!

Order cheese quesadillas. Came with peppers on it. need to be more specific with you orders also ordered online and you didn't believe that we paid for the order. Disappointed and lost my appetite due to these peppers. read more

Stopped in on a whim, one day with my wife. We were coming down 206 and looking for a place to eat and found this place on an app. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. read more

This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments! read more

Even though it is still under renovation, the lodge looks great! I can't wait to see it completely finished. Drinks are good and not too expensive. I came on here to rave about the food. My group only ordered appetizers, but we'll definitely be back for a full dinner. The plate of nachos was bigger than my head! And the onion rings looked, smelled and tasted delicious. But the best thing of the whole night was the wings. I got them with the bourbon garlic sauce and they are the best wings I've had in a very long time. I would come back just for those wings. Highly recommended for a happy hour drink or to see some great live local music on the weekends. I'll update after eating a full meal, which I'm really looking forward to. read more

Another place we've driven past a million times, finally stopped in. A neighborhood joint on 517. The good. Reasonably priced, and conveniently located to Andover & Sparta. Our waitress was sweet, and on the ball. I really liked my ribeye steak (marinated in what tasted like, pineapple juice, soy sauce, maybe some cider vinegar.) Do not get this steak done more than medium rare. The Chicken Wings (they came with a choice of four or five sauces, but I always opt for whatever the version of Buffalo is) The less good The pirogi appetizer, could've been pan fried a little longer, served warm (not hot) kind of greasy. Carpet in dining room could use a good cleaning. All in all the good outweighed the bad, I liked it, will be back, and look forward to trying more items. read more

Best. Pizza. In. All. Of. Jersey. Hands. Down. The view is epic & the owner is a peach of a dude. If U don't eat here you're a moron.

I have been going to McQ's Pub for years. It was previously called the Lenape Lodge. Great bar area if you just want a beer, and wonderful family dining in the room facing the lake. Great food great prices. read more

A great find on 517 My Wife and I were riding to Newton yesterday and passed the Lenape Lodge. We have passed by numerous times and figured we would stop in. This was the best thing we have done in along time. The place is cute inside with plenty of friendly regulars inside. We started with the Buffalo wings (bone in ) of course and they were excellent with a great Blue Cheese and celery accompaniment. Next we both had the steamers , a generous portion in a sauce worthy of the garlic bread that was served with it. Loaded with flavors, ready to be soaked up with the breaded. A regular told me to try the mussels and they were fabulous as well. Black mussels in a green sauce excellent. My Wife ordered the Grill Blackened Salmon and it was to die for. My wife and I are both food snobs as we come from families that are in the food business all prime and top of their class. The bartenders were friendly and the Chef is fantastic. I saw large burgers come out with homemade potato chips on the plate as well as other fabulous looking meals. Friends have been in for the ala carte brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it.Before we left we met with one of the owners Mindy McQuaid and were filled in on Taco Tuesdays and some of the specials as well. Tim & Mindy McQuaid are both working hard at this business post covid to be on top. They hoping to get approvals for a deck outside over looking Lake Lenape soon. Best of Luck to them and don't pass this place as I did in the past A great meal, great people at an affordable cost Thank you again to the McQuaid's read more

No not 5 stars, this place deserves at least 10! Let's start out with the first thing that brings me back, the service and Kim is #1! Since the first day I walked in there on a Sunday morning for brunch she has had not only a smile on her face but she cares deeply about making every person happy! Then there is the food!! From taco Tuesday to Prime Rib Thursdays to brunch on Sundays this place is one of a kind and hands down on point on every dish they throw at you. Thanks to the very best of the best chefs CJ. Lastly everyone treats you as you treat them, they welcome you and become your family. If you are looking for that place that is consistent with engaged employees that care about the customer and amazing food, lake Lenope lodge is the place you want to be. read more

The best hometown place EVER!!! Food is fabulous and the pizza is the best in the county! Kim,CJ,Mike are a great crew! Kim works her butt off and makes you feel welcome at the bar or at a table! She is a very passionate person and cares about all her patrons! read more

My fiancé and I were driving around Saturday afternoon and stumbled on this place! We are so happy we did. The wings were amazing! The bourbon garlic sauce was so good. We want more! The French dip was great too! Will def be back! read more

This could be a really awesome dining place when they open the renovated dining area. Went with a friend and we both ordered the steaks; prime rob and new york strip. They were both wonderful! The sides were great and so was the service. The bar is terrible looking but seemed to be very full of regulars. I wish the owner lots of luck. read more

We really enjoyed our time here. Kim, per the yelp reviews, was welcoming, accommodating, informative, and awesome. The food was excellent. We had the wings which were done exactly to our liking. I had the burger which was made from local beef and my husband had the ribeye steak sandwich which was very good. We were the only ones in the dining room but the bar was packed full. Highly recommend. read more

Kim is the best!!! Great food and even better service! Will definitely go back. Not a great place for kids unless your far away from the bar. read more

Great food for a local bar. And Kim is the most amazing bar tender. Really know how to make a drink with a smile. The Mediterranean wrap is my all time favorite there. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find very good food. I understand that the beef is from a local farm. I believe them because it was very tasty. The pizza was light. The cheesecake was not dense. The entertainment was fun. Bathrooms are clean and neat. Overall a nice experience. Wouldn't mind going back read more

What a horrible dump...rude people, bartender ripped us off,guess her name was Kim,..anyway stay away...food was absolutely horrible and we heard it was good some time back. .well not now...bunch of drunks in there .....what a place.. keep your family's our of there... what a shame because it could be a nice place read more

Was on the motorcycle and stumbled into this lake side restaurant. The NEW owner Nick is very pleasant along with Kim the bartender and the rest of the staff. The food and drink is great with pub favorites and priced very reasonable. ALTHOUGH STILL UNDER RENOVATION , the atmosphere is easy going. I can see this being a great family stop on nights you don't want to cook, for a quick bite and conversation. I heard that it has completely changed from local dumpy watering hole to a safe frendlier eatery, with pizza oven. CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN WITH FRIENDS TO TRY OUT AGAIN. read more

Went there for drinks and food. Ordered the shrimp dumplings with seaweed salad. They had run out of the salad before I had ordered and tried to pass off the meal without it and without telling me. Food was not good at all and my boyfriend's cheesesteak was missing the peppers. read more

I hope I am fair in my evaluation... I did not enjoy my first and probably only visit to the Lenape Lodge. I will say the staff was friendly and helpful but that is the only "positive" I can muster. The dining area was in need of a thorough cleaning...it was drab and since it was empty we searched for a table that was clean. I ordered a mixed drink which was very watered down...the appetizer was adequate certainly better than the entree which could only generously be called "mediocre"...same for dessert...ok but certainly nothing to write home about. My overall impression was that this is a bar attempting to be a restaurant and not having the business or culinary expertise to pull it off...look for another spot! read more

Had excellent, really outstanding service from Laura at the bar. Brought home a pot roast dinner. Reasonabley priced. Was outstanding. Super tender beef, mashed potatoes loaded with veggies. An all around great experience. read more

Went to lodge on a whim and enjoyed my meal. I will go back. A place to relax after long week.

Great food excellent people just recently found this place and it has quickly become my local watering hall excellent food and people all around read more

Horrible Food...The Pizza was the worst we ever had in our life...We heard it was great but then found out that was a previous chef...Now the chef is horrible there...No flavor..small portions compared to precious years we were told...the topper for the evening was when we were leaving and saw a drug deal happen right in the parking lot in front of our kids...what a place..I cant believe it is in business. I would advise any family to never take there kids there and wouldn't recommend it to anyone...The people in there were loud and very rude towards us like we were outsiders...not very welcoming..we only went because a friend told us about it some time back but it seems a lot has changed there and not for the better...The bartender was the rudest of them all and was very short with us...What a horrible experience...Stay Away!! read more

What a pleasant surprise, the Lenape Lodge turned out to be. Set on a hill overlooking the lake, its' rustic charm and great food is as good as it gets. Hot wings are very good as well as the hamburgers and fries. Many daily specials and a friendly atmosphere. If you are in Andover on Rt517 and need a place to eat and drink the Lenape Lodge is the place go. read more

Awesome lodge with live music over looking the lake, a really great place for dinner and drinks!

My husband and I often go here for brunch on Sundays, always good food and service, but had to give a shout out to Kim this morning. She was the only server for the bar and the back dining room and was hustling! At one point I think I counted 50 people and she still managed to get us served promptly. Kim obviously cares about the service she provides, she certainly proved it today. read more

Found this place randomly while driving I recently moved to Andover township and was looking for a local place to hangout and this is it the food is great awesome specials I love the fact I can get the pizza deal on Wednesday's since I have 6 people to feed at home so it comes in very handy plus Tuesday nights are my escape I go for a few beers and some tacos not to mention the food is great and I can't wait till football season it's close to home and a laid back place to watch the games plus they have karaoke on Thursday night which I love read more

We held our Home Owners Association meeting here. The staff was both friendly and accommodating, the room was quiet and there service was excellent.

Thanks to the staff for their assistance in preparing the room and to the chef for working with us to make the meeting a success. read more
