Janssen's Lakefront Restaurant

Attempted to get a reservation for Valentines Day, answering machine said “no reservations, don’t even ask” (nice message, huh). Drove almost an hour and a 1/2 to be “first come first serve”. Arrived only to find out reservations were required?? Hostess was very rude. The owner actually hung up on my wife. When my wife posted a true statement on the owners facebook page, he decided to reply with foul language. We refuse to support such people!

We’ve been going to Janssen’s for years. The salad bar is epic, the entrees rival the first dining establishments in Little Rock, and the carrot cake is iconic, but then all their desserts are. Definitely worth the wait during peak season. We snagged reservations for Valentine’s Day (the only time they accept reservations) and it was delicious. Highly recommend!

Would give this place 10 stars if possible, we had the beef tenderloin valentines special and it was amazing, the pie was amazing, such a hidden gem!

We eat at Jassen's often and at various meal times. Staff remembers your name and most of the time they already know what beverages to bring to your table. Food is GREAT and that is not an exaggeration. Prices are what you should expect for this caliber of food. Brunch on Sunday's is unbelievable and too much to taste of all the items in one visit, you must come again. To sum up our experience would be to say the food, staff and service are beyond authentic and enjoyable.
Only one word of wisdom and that is to remember that a lot of people visit this restaurant and at times the line can seem endless, but it isn't and a little patience will get you in and ready to eat just as quickly as being grumpy and waiting in line, lol. I have to remember that myself!

We arrived when they opened and still had a half hour wait which wasn’t bad. Relaxing outside next to the lake was quite nice. They alert you on your phone when your table is ready, also nice. The restaurant was quite busy, loud and very crowded. The wait staff was great as was the food. Prices were a bit high.
