“The food is really delicious! Every meal we have there is always cooked to perfection. I really suggest the fluffy Omelets and Eggs Benedict. Also, their Chicken Philly is one of my favorites. Everything always tastes so fresh. The staff at Lakeside Grill are incredibly friendly and efficient, always making our experience outstanding!“

“me and a friend of mine went there last weekend for their ribeye steak. it was melt in your mouth perfect. the atmosphere is awesome it's friendly and everybody's so kind. 👍🏻👍🏻 100% 👍🏻“

“Food was excellent, hot and cooked how I ordered it. Waitress a little blah and I’m disabled so when I took some food to go it would have been nice if she offered to help put in boxes, Also front desk to make reservations wasn’t to friendly either, they told me I had a reservation made for 730 and they took my phone number and told me that they would text me when the table is ready. I got here at 7:30 waited 10 minutes. No call. I asked the desk and she said oh no, that’s not what they do just show up so I was not happy with that information that I received incorrectly,. also, the waitress should have came and asked if our food was OK after we were eating it to make sure it was the one thing I did appreciate was she brought us some extra bread.“

“Anything that I have had here has been good. Its just hard to get in and out when you work. I would come more often if I could but we have to be back w/i the hour.“

“the food was great, just like the old burger places growing up. The girls are very nice and I dropped a $100. bill and they even called my office to let me know I dropped this in their restaurant. so talk about honesty and integrity which goes along way also !!!“

“pogeys is outstanding, always excellent service especially Lora, Stephanie, Bethany and justice. they always do their best and always looking out for the guests, with pam, James, Josh, Simon and more in the kitchen they always served outstanding food and are quick. outstanding team and service a plus restaurant“

“Fantastic bowls! Never had a bad meal here, always fresh and tasty.“

“The first look needs updating, inside and out; relocate to a newer facility or build a new larger bldg., toilet area in men's rest room, needs a door, so the urinal can be used at the same time. The food and service were very good. large portion was large i feel that, if the bldg. was updated, that more family-type people would be coming. just looking at the bldg. is a turnoff“

“awesome food . great atmosphere and service.“

“This was my first time there. Contrary to the view from the outside, the inside is very nice. Very clean, good service great people and good food. I had wings. I will have more. Reminds me of the places where I was raised. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.“

“We love going here never have a complaint“

“Would recommend everyone to try out. Coleslaw was not my top choice. The mahi tacos were delicious.“

“One of the servers did not weigh my food right and the manager idk her name exactly I think it's Laura something. But anyway she was awesome! She told me to come back and fixed the problem immediately. Very good manager! That's how someone treats customers and manages a restaurant. Thank you!“

“Applebee’s Girl + Bar is a solid choice. The staff is generally friendly and welcoming, and curbside service is very quick, which makes picking up food convenient and hassle-free.

The food can be hit or miss—sometimes it’s great, other times not quite as much—but the overall experience is enjoyable. Connie, in particular, is an amazing waitress who goes above and beyond to make your visit pleasant.

Overall, I’d recommend this location for good service, fast curbside, and a reliable spot to grab a meal, though the food consistency could improve a bit.“

“The food was great and the restaurant was very clean! All pluses and a reason to return!“

“The food and the service were both wonderful. Danielle was our server, she was fabulous. We will be back ! February 4, 2026. Sheila and Steve“
