Burgers were great! Tables and walls could use a little maintenance and poor kid was the only server but he did the best he could. All in all good place to grab a quick burger.

Ok, so tried this restaurant tonite. Not impressed. The food was ok, but what killed any chance of going back is my broasted chicken came with one side but I got charged $6.00 for my sweet potato side. Why? And the waitress was too busy to discuss with me. Also, $5.00 for an IBC soda? Really? I am aware that prices for food is climbing, but I ended up spending $22.00 for broasted dark meat chicken and a sweet potato. Too much money for just ok food. We won't be going back.

Not much needs to be said about the lantern! An institution. I appreciate that they keep updating their menu. Today’s special was Korean beef bulgogi wrap and it was declared delicious at the table. Also a patty melt and taco salad were consumed. Friendly local service.

Best shrimp tacos I ever had hands down. Great service. Great regulars. Plenty of stuff to talk about with the nice locals. Too young to get a beer, but Im sure they got great beer too!
Great place to go after a Lake Forest sports game. We came here after watching the Foresters hockey game and had some drinks and food. The free popcorn was a great start and we also got wings, cheese fries, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. I would recommend the jumbo Michelob Ultra.Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and fun overall place to be.

If you need a place to kill time while in Lake Forest, it’s a great spot. Good food as well!

First time there we got seated probably a good five minutes before somebody came and took our order. That's unacceptable at least check and say are we ready to order I have the lantern burger it was cooked. OK when you can taste the way they cooked it probably on a grill you need a little seasoning on the burger really disappointed and a bit pricey
