    Hamburger* with cheese and fries
    Julie B.

    We stopped here while on a weekend getaway and loved it. The outside bar had a great vibe to it so we sat there and had some drinks. Our bartender Jen was fantastic. She's really the reason we loved the place so much. I started out with my usual vodka and cranberry but then she recommended the raspberry vodka with cranberry. It was really good! We decided to grab some food while we were there. I ordered the burger with cheese and fries. The burger was good and the fries were very good. They were fresh cut. Our waitress was great as well she gave us really good service. I can't recall her name but she was going to school to be a nurse and was very sweet. If you're in the area give this place a try! I highly recommend it.

    Mushroom swiss burger and hickory smoked BBQ burger
    Mo T.

    Great place with multiple outdoor patios and a stunning view at sunset by the lake. Burgers will not disappoint. I had the mushroom swiss which was juicy and decadent, my friend had the hickory smoked BBQ burger. I'm not a fan of BBQ sauce but this burger was very well made, they did not overload it with BBQ sauce and only accentuated the flavor of the burger. Both burgers came with seasoned batter fries for a very filling meal. With 2 beers, cost came to $41, definitely worth it! They warned us that the food would take an hour as the place was packed but everything arrived in less than 30 minutes. Taking away a star because I am not a fan of paper plates or beer in a plastic cup. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

    Fried Pickle Chips

    Looking for something that's a bit hidden but still manages to deliver what's good sure you are as you really can't go wrong with something of that nature as hidden gems are never enough to be found! One given day some friends and I were just driving around killing time enjoying all the amazing views of that gigantic lake when we found Rayz it was purely by mistake or was it as this given night was like a Wednesday or something and I'm like why is this place cracking midweek so a few minutes later with use of some website called Yelp that I'm sure none of you ever heard of before I had my answer! My answer was the specials here mostly burgers at a super good price for a special that usually comes with fries or onion rings so how can you really not be into that! Every time I've been here my food as been awesome as the burgers have tasted fresh and just yummy so you know that will bring you back no matter what as they all have been simple but that's all that was really needed as it just worked! Those onion rings are the kicker beer battered so you know they are good as well as huge in their own circular way of fried goodness definitely some of the better ones I've had for sometime! The fried pepper jack ballz were also yummy too as who doesn't like fried cheese in every way possible! The fried pickles were alright not my favorite but definitely still good in their own pickle way either way you fry it! Overall awesome specials super cool little spot right on the lake just be prepared to be here for a minute as it gets super busy as you can tell it's the locals spot Forshures I'm sure I'll be back here soon as it's just what's good any given day of the week!

    This place was fun! Lots of locals. You literally walk in through the back bar lol! It's traditional fried food, but was great! It has a nice view and the staff were friendly and Accommodating .

    Took a drive with no agenda in mind. When we stumbled upon this place. It's kind of out of the way so we decided to give it a try. It's a bar with typical bar atmosphere. They have a small patio on the front and a second bar and outside seating next to the main building. We sat outside and watched the Ohio State game. It was nice. Dogs are allowed as well. They also have a 3nd story balcony which is self serve, but what a view the bay!! Our waiter was amazing we stayed longer than we planned because he was welcoming and very attentive. He said he's leaving for the army soon, hopefully we'll make it back to say goodbye. We both had the perch basket and it was delicious!!! Definitely a place to try

    Nice place right on the bay . Great in the summer.

    While the service is good and the view is great the food is meh in my opinion. The homemade chips taste like fish, the "sliced beef" on the philly is actually steakems, I think the burgers are frozen patties. If you just want fried bar food it might do...Its a shame because this place could be great. Definitely make this a summer stop on a nice Sunday drive for a couple drinks out on their awesome deck though!

    Great food options. Service was very good, besides the fact that I opened the place. Decor is very nice; modern but inviting.

    After a long day of travel, my friend and I decided to stop to caffeinate with a large mtn dew and…read morea chips and cheese snack. Now, we made sure to check the closing time before being our journey to ... great it was 1 am and they did not close until 2am. We arrive to a rather busy Taco Bell at 1:15, I would say maybe 6 cars ahead of us. The line was moving at a decent pace, I will give them that. However, that is all I will give them because as we pull up to be the very next car to order a man comes to our car window at 1:40 shaking his fist aggressively. We, my friend and I made eye contact with this man but not knowing at the time he was a worker. He just kept shaking his fist looking irritated as he stormed back inside, this is when my friend and I realized he was a worker. We were unaware of what had just happened, but we pull forward to order our chips and cheese and drink. When we got to the window they said sorry we're closed ... it was 1:45 am they closed at 2am. I had mentioned that I understand but I thought they closed at 2 am and we had been waiting for 30 minutes. No one answered the speaker. The car in front of us had just ordered a $22 dollar order, which may have been stressful for them at the end of the night. But now we had just spent the last half hour waiting for our food too and now every other food chain will be closing in 15 minutes. The situation would have been different if handled in a more appropriate manner. But an angry man coming at us at 1:45 waving his arms was not that. I have provided a time stamp of when we ended up LEAVING THE LINE after trying to talk with the worker still not 2 am.

    This was the worst Taco Bell food I've ever had. We had crunch wrap supremes that barely had any…read moremeat or anything else in them. It was so bad.
