March 15th I called and placed an order with Dave at the bar? he was great, wait for food was fast considering Friday night around 730. Upon arriving I made myself to the bar to pick up my order. Dave handed me the bill and I almost fell over. I had ordered 2 kings and a queen, burger and pork tenderloin. We hadn’t gotten food from here in a while and used our previous menus for an idea of how much the food might cost having in mind that the prices probably had gone up some. Some was an understatement as I walked in with a rough idea of say $115, nope $189.00, kings were $34 and queens I believe were $23. Not anymore, king was $50+ and queen was $40+, I had almost crapped myself as my wages have never jumped almost half but sure do wish they had. My friends $50+ filet was ordered medium rare and there was little to no pink to be found, my king was pictured and was close to medium rare but had a dryness to it where I was finding myself almost having to drink something to swallow my bite, my daughter really enjoyed her medium queen. I was sampling the burger and PT off my kids plates and the burger also seemed dry and not very tasty, same for the PT. I’ve always wanted to love the Lighthouses food but I never seemed to get my mouth satisfied, and with the new prices I may never have that chance. I’m all for paying more for knock my socks off food but not that night. My friend was very disappointed as she really didn’t care for her filet but managed to eat what she wanted and shared the rest with my dog, which made him happy?

The salmon terriaki didn't have much flavor. Bake potatoe too small. Broccoli cheese soup was good.

Had prime rib. An inch or more thick. Cooked just as requested. Delicious but too big. I'd do it again and take half of it home for another delicious meal.

Love that this family own place continues to be just as wonderful as it has always been.

First visit. Warm and cozy. Full menu. Burgers and fries to steak and potatoes. I was concerned about not having a reservation as the parking lot was crammed, BUT the neon sign was blaring immediate seating. We entered said, 4, please, and they said follow me. I couldn't find anything to complain about. I'm going back soon and doing the supper club thingy.

We went to the lighthouse inn for a special occasion dinner. We ordered the prime rib and salmon. It ended up they were out of both. We didn’t know this until the waitress went back to the kitchen for 10 minutes. Ordered sides of baked potatoes and mashed potatoes… they were also out of both of them. The waitress told us we should have came in sooner. Mind you not we arrived at 7 pm. At the end of our dinner the waitress interrupted and asked if she could have our bill because she was trying to leave 10 minutes before close. Very disappointed in the lack of communication between kitchen and servers. Finally, How can you be out of baked potatoes??

The way it's set up it's like going to grandma's house for dinner. It's a cozy quiet atmosphere and the people are friendly. It was a pleasant first experience. I can see why my aunt loves it.

Haven't visited here for some time but really enjoyed drinks and sandwiches recently. The old supper club atmosphere brings a smile to your face.

Our first time there. Heard good reviews. We weren't extremely impressed. Steak knives need to be sharpened because they wouldn't even cut our Prime Rib. Some food had way too much seasoning, and some had none at all. The place is very clean and the servers were very nice.

It's ok. It's an old school supper club. The food is edible, nothing amazing. The feel is kind of old, definitely needs some updating and remodeling. The pricing is average $20 a plate. Good drinks on the cheaper price point. Kud friendly. The 1st time, it was decent. Been there 3 times since only because my dad really likes it, and I don't want to go back. Much better places for the money.
