“Happened to be in Antioch with my daughter and stopped in The Lodge for a late lunch. I had one of the best, if not the best chicken wrap with fries. It was wrapped, then heated on the outside, delicious. My daughter had a grilled cheese with tomato with onion rings, she loved it. We were too full to eat desert, but we took a piece of homemade tiramiso with. It was a slice of heaven. Great service and wonderful food“
“Ordered for my daughters end of year softball party. Everyone absolutely loved all of it!! We ordered chicken, barbacoa, and steak tacos with tamales. My husband, who LOVES tamales, asked why we didn't order more for just us and the girls and their siblings gobbled all of the tacos up. Every parent asked for contact information. Highly recommend. Hoping to order more in December!!“
“It's easy to drive past this place. I wouldn't pass it up, though. Good deals every day of the week allow for great meals. For not so much money. Save your money for your drinks and cheers to the good service. Felt welcomed and well taken care of.“
“Went here for the first time a few weeks ago the staff and owner were super friendly and welcoming. I decided to go back to eat a few days later with my family all the food was great and we are quite picky!! This will definitely be one of our new go tos whether it be for lunch/dinner or just a quick beer. Very happy we tried it out!Kid-friendliness: Was nice to be able to bring my kids in on a Sunday for lunch and not feel like we were out of place. Kids were happy with the food as well !“
“First time here. Not much to look at on the outside, but nice casual atmosphere and good food inside, plus a great view of the lake.Shared corned beef egg rolls and pretzel bites. Our main courses were blt wrap, Reuben, and cheeseburger. All really good. See pictures. Finally, servers were very friendly. Will go back again.“
“Pizza was horrible! Undercooked top with a burnt prepackaged bottom. Apps were cold and just not good( dried out and just low end) Drinks were top notch and our server was incredible! Love going here but the kitchen lacks the luster the bar has. It's unfortunate as a few years ago it was consistently good but now not much.“
“I'm definitely a fan of this place. There's cornhole (or as I like to call it), plenty of pool tables, and delicious food! The only downside is that you have to be 21 to enter. However, the music here really sets the mood. Renting a table and pool for 2 hours cost us around $30, but it's still worth it for a fun time with friends or for a date.“
“Austin’s blew me away. An amazing jumbo shrimp cheesy pasta dish. I opted for the added protein (shrimp); yes!!! Austin’s is ‘famous’ for their steaks. Well, everything is great! And the shows, well, they’re so much fun too ?Five stars no doubt ? ? ? ? ?“
“I love this place for their AYCE fish-fry Fridays. They also have amazing beans & rice as well as hushpuppies. Annie is by far the best server in the place, 5-stars for her service. There is at least one server that would get a 0-star review for her service, I don't really remember her name. Everyone else there seems to provide high 3-4 star service. I haven't stopped in for any other meals. So, the food review is specific to the meal described. The place can get a bit crowded and loud, but what can you expect from a place with great food and service. That said, there has really only been one occasion that it was overwhelming crowed when I've gone.Parking: You really gotta get there before the dinner rush, otherwise you might not fine parking. They really don't seem to have enough space to accommodate the amount of parties they can fit inside the establishment.“

“We love Steve's! Steve and Rita are the best, and so is the bartender Liz! It's one of our favorite places to hang out and play some darts. The backyard in the summer is beautiful, your surrounded by flowers, with a beautiful wooden swing and volleyball court. Definitely should check it out.“
“I mean I know I review 5 stars almost every time, but that’s because I give props where props are due. I had the double smash burger and it was Aaaaaaamazing! Cooked to perfection. Thank you for being our hidden gem. Every time we choose the Side Lot… we go home happy.“
“This place has never missed the mark with service in my experience, and I frequent at least once a month. The drinks are always cold, fresh, and reasonablypriced. The food is delicious and fresh as well... my favorites are the smoked wings, cheese curds, beer nuggets, and chicken pesto sandwich. The staff is uber friendly and it felt great seeing many of them take the time to greet me (while I was on crutches) after a couple months hiatus (since I was injured). The Live Entertainment on weekends is always a huge plus as well! SIX SPEED TRANNY rocked the house yesterday“
“What a delightful spot. Just what you want in a neighborhood bar. Stop by and meet some new friends. Love this place EXCEPT when someone jacks up the jutebox at 4 in the afternoon when everyone else is watching the news. We just left. Not everyone has your taste in music.“
“I've had the privilege of stopping by the Squaw Bar on several occasions and have enjoyed every visit. What is refreshing about this establishment is that it's cozy and not over refined like other establishments. This means that one can get to know just who they are enjoying the company of. The Squaw Bar even has the latest technology that blends in well with a good old fashion campfire by the sands. I'm speaking of .SVG TV... no not your regular run of the mill squabbles from all over the globe but a personalized cast of stars that light up the evening sky. Take for example the ale tale of Helen Liz Hunt. It's an October ghost story told at this time in the light of the Hunters Moon. The legend says that Helen walks the .3 mile route from Hunt Ave on a westwards journey. She crosses Helendale Road and arrives at the Squaw Bar in search of dark rye and molasses bread ðŸž. Helen pays for her meal in Indian Rupee legal tender and enjoys the Raisins And Honey as the Sultan as played by myself offers her a 🔠hamburger bear hug.“
“Always friendly staff and patrons. Great place to rest a while. By ? ?♂️ or ? or ?. My go to place while out fishing with the grandkids too. It's the only place they want to go for lunch and to fish the channels getting there. ?“
“Rookies is a good stop for a great lunch or dinner. we stopped for all you can eat Fish Friday, the Fish, fries, and coleslaw were delicious. My husband loved the wing. Our bartender Taylor was fantastic. she helped with menu items, and made sure we were happy with our food. Taylor also made sure we were happy with our beverages. Rookies is lucky to have Taylor on their team. We will definitely be back. Kudos to the chef and Taylor for a great lunch time !“
“There are lots of places to get wings now but this place, at least in northern Lake County, is the best place for them. Service is always good and friendly. Good selection of beers and cocktails too! Highly recommended for a casual meal with friends to enjoy great wings.“
“So, we usually head here after playing volleyball. It has really become a place where most of the locals go. It is a very interesting atmosphere cause most visitors know each other and bartenders know customers by name. You get a homely vibe when you enter. Great beer selection. The owner goes out of his way to introduce new beers from local or distant breweries. This place is one of the few which carries Zombie Dust from Three Floyds. Again, they have a great selection of beers. There is also gaming there. The food comes from Rosati's which is next door. Can't go wrong with having some wings, fries and pizza while enjoying drinks with friends. The bartenders make you feel welcomed which is a good reason to return often.“
“I have had the pizza, which is always tasty. Today, I didn't feel like cooking and ordered a Friday Fish Fry dinner to go! Was delicious with nice portions of cod, fries, hush puppies and cole slaw. Scott always gives great service and cooks everything to perfection! J's often has some nice events and bands too.“
“Sideouts is an awesome place to eat, drink, bowl or watch live music! Huge outdoor patio with tvs, music, baggo, violleyball and so much more. The food is excellent, the pizza is some of the best around! Summertime they have car shows, bands in the sand concerts, and many other events. You gotta check this place out!“
“A Storied place, legendary for its erstwhile pool leagues, with patron owners, a static stock of barristas and "Cheers" regulars, a kitchenette for pizza and wings, fairly lucky slots, live bands, bingo nights, and best of all, "Kevo" the maestro who runs Karaoke, sings withal, and DJs like a pro.“
“Well, this place wasn't around in my younger years pulling up by boat...and mooring the boat to the Turnkey Motor boat pier docks to swoop up Chuck (RIP) and Frank. However, remembering it being only a parking lot. It's a great addition to the Reef across the street. It's a nifty little bar just to the south of Burtons bridge. Not sure, if you can pull up by boat and dock (might want to consult with Turnkey Motors first) before doing so. I can honestly say...I like it's location. To bad this wasn't established sooner back in the day. They have a taco Tuesday special for a $1.00. Surprisingly, the menu is quite elaborate. They have eggs Benedict - that I'm definitely coming back to try. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked awesome and tasty. Very nice place and atmosphere. They have an outside river bar beer garden, live band entertainment, horseshoe pits, volleyball. Even met some nice bikers from Rebel Cause - in which I knew nothing about them until that day (Highly Support & Respect) them and their cause. It was a great time, I enjoyed hanging out there. It brought back some good memories. Definitely worth while stopping in, even more so if your an old gearhead from back in the day. Great job! Look forward to coming back again soon. ??? A+!!!“
“First time random choice visiting the area from Chicago. Obviously very popular (the best sign) with the locals and the food (and price) was great! So was service from busser to server to manager who checked in with us. Perfect casual spot!“
“I am an event photographer and am at WhirlyBall often. The venue has a lot to offer including dance area, games, cars and laser tag. The staff are great and organized. Venue has easy parking and offers a variety of food items. Check it out.“
“2020.New owners care very little about their customers. Burgers are pathetically small for the starting price. 2024- update. My wife and I decided to give another try and the burgers are back to a better size. We ordered the triple cheese with bacon and it was delicious. My only suggestion is to get rid of bag lettice( it tast like chemicals) and go with slicing fresh heads of lettuce. Service was on point too.“
