    Cute restaurant located on the water. Boat dock & parking lot for vehicles. Great patio & bar area outside. Next time I'll take pics of the amazing salads. We tried the chefs salad & ceasar. Both delish. Also tried pub pretzels with cheese & mustard. So good. Service was a little slow as our server was very busy. We didn't mind at all since it was a beautiful evening.

    rude ass server

    Stay away Very Very rude service. I feel like because it's the only place on the lake they can be rude.

We arrived and were seated at 6 pm, waitress didn't take our order until after 6:30, and we didn't get our food until 8:15. About 8 pm I asked the manager what was going on and she was rude. Said our order had only been in for 1 hour 9 minutes and with to go orders this was to be expected. No sorry. She acted like we were being rude. We got our food and immediately needed to leave (we had already told our waitress this) and asked for to go containers and getting them and the check took another 1/2 hour. The waitress felt like she needed to open the to go bags for us and literally stood there and waited for our child to finish her wings before she went to get the check. The waitress was so proud she got us a 10% comp. The 2 hours we lost was worth much more than $4. I mean not even free beverages.....will never return to this chain anywhere. This happened Friday April 10 2026.

Upon arrival we noticed there was not a big crowd, so we figured we would not have a long wait and decided to sit in the bar area. Took forever to be waited on. Waitress/bartender did not come back and ask if we wanted any more drinks and it took an hour and 45 minutes to get our food. When we did get the food, some of it was overcooked. Not a good experience at all.

While it has been several years since I ate in Camden, little has changed as I walked out happy and full as I petted the monkey on my way out the door. Walking in the place was well worn over the years but it was very clean. With their location and customer base, I like that they represent Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana professional teams and colleges. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We were able to order almost as soon as we sat down, had our drinks refilled several times without asking, and were checked up on multiple times throughout the meal. We both got burgers and that was the best part of the meal. I got their triple hog special so mine had bacon, ham, pulled pork, and lots of grilled onions and was in love. I thought the fries were solid but will ask for them to be a little bit crispier in the future. My mother got the basic bacon cheeseburger and had no complaints. She stated several times their burgers are better than any burger from anywhere they hand you your food in a bag from a window. Great food, great prices, great service, great experience, and I have no problems recommending the Clubhouse to anyone in the tri-state area.

    Thanks to the dishwasher we were welcomed and provided with glasses of ice water long before our…read moreserver appeared and our drink orders were taken. Kudos to him for observing and responding to the fact that we were seated and not yet greeted by our server. And yet, his attention to the situation is a check in the plus column for a decent restaurant that was unfortunately, seriously under staffed when we stopped by for dinner recently. It seems that the owner or manager was essentially handing ALL of the front of the house duties, as well as tending the bar -- greeting, seating, waiting on the table, making and serving drinks, running food, and handing payment at the end of the night. A child, apparently the owner/manager's daughter occasionally bussed some tables and strutted around wielding a fly swatter (though fortunately I didn't see any flies--but there was outdoor seating). I could only see one person in the kitchen (there could have been another but I'm not sure). All in all it meant everything was S-L-O-W. That said, we were the perfect group for the situation--a bunch of Boomer college friends fully engaged in conversation and reminiscing about the good old days -- which compensated -- to some degree -- the time we waited for service. Well, eventually things got rolling. Our drink order was taken along with an appetizer for the table. The drinks arrived after a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the house version of an old fashioned made with a bourbon distilled at a local/regional distillery. Tasty -- my only nitpick -- such drinks should be served with a LARGE chunk of ice, not a scoop of cubes from the ice machine. The appetizer for the table was the house crab dip -- an excellent choice for sharing and the flavor was spot on. For my entree I chose the lamb "lollipops." The three or four lamb chops were perfectly cooked, juicy, tender and unctuous -- really unctuous since the fat cap was not trimmed -- but as a great food critic once said, "meat without fat is dead protein -- so in short, the meat was bursting with flavor. The asparagus were nicely roasted. The sauce was rich and garlicky (thanks to confit cloves of garlic). It complemented the gaminess of the lamb perfectly, but the amount of sauce a bit more than necessary for a truly balanced composed dish. I still enjoyed it immensely and would order it again. (By the way, I was able to sample my wife's tuna. The 3/16 of an inch sear on the tuna was perfect and the rare interior was exactly how tuna should be cooked.) The owner/manager was appropriately apologetic about the pace of service and I will say that she, and the kitchen, did their best under the circumstances. As I mentioned, we were a good group because our goal was time together, not precisely timed service. I would hope another couple of employees could rectify the slow service and build their clientele because the food is quite good, the location is excellent and I loved the decor, especially the vintage outboard motors including one or two designed by the great industrial designer Brooks Stevens from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I think she thought she was funny. Food was ho-hum..... was even afraid to give the left overs to the dog. Charged extra for butter and never told the vegetable substitution would be an upcharge.
