About Big Willys Lakehouse

Big Willys Lakehouse offers outstanding food and exceptional service, making it a great place to visit. The catfish dinner, fried bluegill, and portabella fries are highly recommended, while the Fillet Mignon and Cod dishes also receive praise from customers. The loaded mashed potatoes and grilled chicken are favorites, and many agree that the food is fresh and hot, definitely not frozen. The restaurant’s patio provides a lovely view, and the staff ensures excellent service, keeping glasses full and conversations enjoyable. Although the restaurant could use some cleaning and maintenance, the overall atmosphere is welcoming, with uniquely lit spaces that delight families, especially children who love pointing out their favorite colored stars on the ceiling.

Despite its outdated appearance, the food and service more than make up for it. Customers report that everything comes out timely and that the staff is pleasant, even when new. Big Willys Lakehouse is often busy, and reservations are recommended. While some customers note that the water may taste a bit strange, which affects the sodas, the overall dining experience is still enjoyable. The cleanliness and smiling customers suggest a well-maintained establishment. The only minor criticism is the lack of a current beer list, which could be improved by management. Overall, Big Willys Lakehouse remains a place where the food is actually seasoned and where guests are eager to return.

Waitress was less than desirable. She gave me the wrong drink (it happens ) but took 25 additional mins to get mine. I didn’t get my salad, had to ask for it. My prime rib was cold not cool but Cold. She said it happens a lot because of being busy and running them upstairs and prime rib isn’t usually real warm. I’ve had it several times and never cold.

All around bad experience. Not worth the 100$ we spent between the three of us. This is not a waterfront property. You can barely see the water through the weeds. The patio is not very well kept. Our food was not worth the cost. Over cooked and seemed to be unseasoned. The appetizer was the best part. Pretty disappointed in our visit.
