Ate here on 8/4/25 and while eating my meal had a mouse run past our table with all of us having seen it. When approaching the wait staff to get a manger they stated they are aware of the mouse and its something that happens all the time and they have no solution for so they have moved past it.

The food was ok at best and definitely not worth the prices, but to be brushed off about mice running around is disgusting and was never approached by a manager just an 18 year that brought me my bill to leave

I ate at this restaurant today and was absolutely shocked to see rats running through the main dining room area. What was even more concerning was how unbothered the staff seemed — no one appeared surprised or alarmed. Our waiter sent over a younger employee (who didn’t even introduce himself) and told us they were aware of the rat issue, and that an inspector had come by earlier in the day and “approved” the rats because it had rained and the restaurant is near a field. Yes, you read that right — they told us the rats were fine because of the weather and location… and then casually handed us the bill. Even more bizarre, the staff continued to defend the presence of rats the entire time as if this was a normal and acceptable part of the dining experience. To top it all off, they seated two more tables in the same area where the rat had just run through, like nothing had happened. Honestly one of the most surreal and unsanitary restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. I won’t be returning — and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until the rodent problem is actually taken seriously.

We love to come on Wednesday nights just to have Staci wait on us, she is the best! Very knowledgeable about the menu and brings our drinks in a timely manner. Always very pleasant. Food is ok, but I really wish you would bring back the loaded fries, onion rings and some of the original menu. Our food runner Reece was awesome also.
5 ⭐️ for Staci and Reece
3 ⭐️ for food

My wife and I were in town for a couple of days looking at some real estate we visited for lunch our first day we like it so much we came back again the next day. Our waitress Robin was super! A big part of the reason we came back. We enjoyed the personal friendly service she provided. Thank you, Robin, and thank you Lakehouse Kitchen & Bar.
