They have all of your traditional breakfast dishes and the sizes are very generous. Many of the dishes are enough for two people. They also have some fresh produce you can buy on the weekends. This is a great breakfast spot and is cheap and affordable.

They have a lot of seating, but during busy weekends, someone let the secret slip out about how yummy the cinnamon cakes are. The menu has a great selection, but it is not overwhelming. Breakfast is all day and there is a lunch menu as well. Classic breakfast food that will leave you full and satisfied; ready to take on a full day of the lake. Enjoy your meal in the back of the restaurant looking out into the beautiful woods and take a gander at the lake memorabilia on the walls. This is my go to breakfast spot on the West side of the lake. Hot coffee and French toast always hit the spot.

No one wants to smell that while they're eating their food if you need to clean a table maybe just try soap and water? If you need to clean the floor, maybe use something that doesn't smell so strong. The smell was offensive similar to someone smoking a cigarette next to me while I'm eating my food.

We went on a Saturday night in the fall. It was still really hopping around 8, and we waited a few…read moreminutes for a table. Our kids enjoyed playing on the juke box and pool table while we waited for our food. Four of the six in our party ordered pulled pork dishes and really liked them! My daughter and I shared the pulled pork nachos and they were awesome! The beans were really good. Let me just say the deep fried potato salad --YUM. It was soooo good. My son got the kid's cheeseburger meal and really liked it and the hand cut curly fries. The only person who didn't really care for their food was my dad, who got the brisket sandwich. The brisket was cut really thick and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. He's not the kind to complain though, so he didn't send it back. I think we will come again and definitely enjoy the pork and try the ribs (they had run out). We also want to try the slaw (they were out of that as well.) Courtney and the cook were super friendly and welcoming. We will come back next season!!

Food is just so, so. Not bad, not great. Ok for a quick meal. Fair warning on the "Specials"…read more... you will be charged 33% more if you want to take it with you rather than dining in in a smoking allowed environment. It would be nice to clearly state that on your Specials menu board. After leaving irritated with the explanation of my question "why would it cost that much more to take it home and eat it vs. eating it here?" I received, which was simply "because you aren't eating here and taking it home" in a tone like I was extremely stupid, I thought about it later and understand now its probably to just get you to buy more drinks which is somewhat understandable. However, I could have just stayed there and ordered water and received the actual advertised special price so, still irritated....more at the tone of the non-explaination i recieved. I might still go back, might not. Probably not if the same bartender is there as I know now how I will be treated up front. It is the only place open nearby sometimes. This makes the decision to drive farther away much easier.

They have had a turnover and have great staff! The kitchen can throw the food down! I chose the French dip (made with prime rib), topped with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, onions and green peppers and sautéed veggies for the side (which were the same fantastic veggies) and a side salad with homemade ranch dressing. I ate every bite of this before I left! Excellent!!

We started with a basket of onion rings which are enormous! They were really good too. Twice baked was good and the tater tota were crunchy but tender. Really nice dinner, and the service was excellent. One thing to note is that this was the first place I have been in 30 years that allowed smoking in part of the restaurant. In Illinois it isn't allowed anymore so we were surprised when we walked in the door. We did walk through the smoking section on our way to non-smoking and it definitely was aromatic where we ate. Still a really nice place, especially if that doesn't bother you.

We got there right when they opened since we were a group of 8 and wanted to make sure we could grab a spot. The pool fills up quickly, but the water stays surprisingly cool and refreshing even with a crowd definitely not like a warm bath. The drinks were also very reasonably priced, which was a nice surprise since everything at the lake seems more expensive than KC. We also got to meet DJ Mike, who noticed my Boulevard hat and started a fun conversation about being from Lee's Summit. He was a blast great music, fun games, and kept the energy going. My fiancé and I also shared a poke bowl, it's a lot smaller of a portion than if you were to go the ramen/poke bowl place. For a steep price of $24 but it was good to try. It's the perfect lake spot for a fun atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back!
