    Amazing food and service! Nicole was our server delivering fantastic recommendations and service with a smile. We can't wait to come back and try more delicious options!

    Catfish platter
    Neil B.

    This was a good taste of home in Louisiana. The shrimp poboy and fried catfish were very good. Will definitely be back

    Filet with mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies!!

    Back for dinner. Andrew our friendly bartender. Both had the filet with mashed potato and sautéed vegetables , filets were wonderful, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Finished with the special champagne cheese cake!

    Burger

    I ordered the shrimp basket. My husband ordered a burger. Both were huge! The food was delicious. They had several menu items that sound great. Prices average around $17 per entree. Some items are a little less, some are about double that. The outdoor back patio was nicely decorated with tablecloths, flowers, and fake candles. They do have patio heaters. They had TVs on and a local sharing his life story with anyone who would listen. The bar area patio was enclosed for warmth, but absolutely filled with cigarette smoke. They had slot machines at the bar. It's like a dive bar serving top quality food and attempting to be nicer than a dive bar . The vibe was a bit odd. Our waitress was very welcoming and friendly. She had that southern hospitality charm. We received excellent service.

    Came across Walter's Tavern when traveling through Lake Dallas. Had the French Dip sandwich and fries, it was the best. We didn't know the restaurant had a fire in the past and they are currently rebuilding. We sat on the patio, was Leary at first but the outstanding customer service made us want to stay and eat, they brought 3 heaters to our table and made it very comfortable. They made sure we had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back. Nice to support a local when they are rebuilding.

    Lobster and shrimp strudel

    We had been been wanting to try this restaurant for a while based on some neighbors recommendations. Wow- We we're not disappointed! It likes like a small pub from the outside, but the food is top notch! Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and helped us with picking our meals. We started with chips and queso (the hubby couldn't wait, he was starving) and he said it was good (I did not try it). We ordered fried green tomatoes for another appetizer and it was yummy. For our meals we ordered the filet, a blackened ribeye, the lobster and shrimp special, and the giant meatball bowl. Everything was amazing. I had the filet, and I must say it was just as good as some of the best steakhouses we have been to. We can't wait to go back and try some other dishes as well.

    Cheeseburger with white cheddar
    Bob L.

    Walter's Tavern is a gem located in the small town of Lake Dallas a short drive on I 35E north of Dallas. The menu offers the usual bar items with a few surprises including chicken fried brisket and jalapeño gravy. My friend and I opted for the cheeseburger and we're not disappointed. A thick and well seasoned beef patty with all the fixins. We both had the white cheddar cheese and I added bacon. Fries were included. We both had iced tea served in whopping big glasses. Service was efficient and friendly without being overly attentive which I like. The decor is somewhat upscale for a tavern. The lighting is on the dark side befitting a bar. Several tvs graced the walls. The bar is on the back wall. This seems to be a "Cheers" kind of place where locals meet and greet. However my friend and I did not feel out of place. If you're at the lake or just passing through Walter's is worth a look. Right next to the Sonic.

    Great food and service. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves great food. A bit pricey for certain things, but well worth it.

    Flawless vibe and killer food…read more It is incredibly rare to find a spot that can pull off a fresh, healthy sit-down dinner and a laid-back bite after a brutal workday, but Elm Fork completely nails both. We went for dinner first. Brian had the lamb tacos and I ordered the mesquite-smoked salmon with steamed broccoli and a sweet potato. It was perfect--light, smoky, and genuinely healthy without being boring. We loved the atmosphere so much that after a crazy busy workday the very next day, we headed straight back. The smoked wings are top-tier and the queso is exactly what you want at the end of a long day. What really made our visit stand out was a delightful conversation with one of the co-owners, Michael. He told us all about how they source their unique draft beers from all over--including an incredible one from Iowa that Brian absolutely loved. The vibe here is just right, and the bar staff and servers are amazing. Whether you want a great dinner or just a solid spot to unwind with a unique brew, this place is a must-visit.

It's usually a pretty happening spot which makes slower service to be expected. Big open interior with a ton of seating but kind of an awkward hallway style layout. It's good for the area.

We entered on a weekday mid afternoon and was greeted with a friendly hello and any help to see the menu. There were no paper menus, just the menu up on the screens above the counter. There are few sandwiches and salads, but they all looked very good so we chose the Cuban Press and Turkey Pesto Press sandwiches. After a short wait, we got our orders each on a silver tray with nicely presented half cut sandwiches and homemade chips. The Cuban press sandwich was warm, filled with seasoned chopped pork and sliced ham melted with cheese and brown mustard on a grilled ciabatta bread. It was really good like a comfort food. The turkey pesto had two thick, sliced turkey breast, warmed with freshly made pesto spread, which bloomed with the bright green color and the smell of prime freshness, and nestled with melted cheese on a grilled ciabatta bread. The first bite really welcomed the combo of warm turkey and fresh pesto. Delicious! The homemade chips were super delicious and we ate every single piece. The sandwiches were so large that we had enough to take home for another meal. The dining room was small and cozy and had two tall tables, 2 medium tables and one couple size table in the corner. Service was super friendly and sincere. Their workers really cared about the food and making it right the first time. This really is a foodie place. They had bottled wines on the wall to select from and another small cooler with chilled wines and specialty beers. They had fresh made sides upfront and desserts, but we skipped this time. Definitely something worth getting on another visit. This place was very clean. Bathroom was well taken care of. This place is in a small strip mall and is definitely worth stopping by just right off the interstate. When we're around this area again, we'd certainly will stop by again.

Now about their lemonade, it was so close to my father's that it almost brought tears to my eyes. The lemonade is tart and sweet in perfect harmony and so refreshing for these crazy hot Texas summers. Their menu is very mixed, something good for everyone so we plan on making a few trips a month so as not to miss out. Try any of their desserts, choosing will not be easy as they all look yummy. The staff is absolutely wonderful and very helpful. A place we're service with a smile is true! The restaurant was super clean and organized, staff was cleaning tables and clearing the dishes. Overall, great little place to grab a bite or take home!
