Chili came out lukewarm. The ketchup had some kind of growth in it!

Walked in to be seated was stared at by two gentlemen on the other side of the bar who saw myself and my family instead of greeting us they yelled “Sarah “ multiple times. Didn’t feel very welcoming so we left. It was only 830pm

A great place to hangout and listen to music
Great place to grab a bite to eat with a hometown tavern/restaurant feel! Come in and make friends.

Been coming to DCL for 25 years and I would say in the past 5 years since COVID this place went to crap.
The Nachos with chicken were 18$ and was legitimately 10x worse than what you would get at a gas station. The only toppings they had were semi diced tomatoes, sweet bell peppers that you would put on a sandwich, pump queso, jalapeños and a few flakes of cheddar cheese and maybe 1 crispy microwave chicken tender. Never in my life, My 5 year old could legitimately make better nachos than the so called cook can.
The server never bothered to ask how we wanted our burgers cooked, I think they’re scared of giving us food poisoning so they over cooked them. They were as crunchy as the nachos.
Also the server never bothered to bring straws or ask if we wanted refills, I think it must be his first serving job and might still be learning, idk.

Went here the other day with my family.. Waited 45 minutes for drinks because they said a big crowd came in but hardly anyone was there? Litterly 1 person taking food to tables and taking orders. My mom's hamburger was not done. I got the fish and chips. Fish was very slimy. The fries were good though. Nice staff also. Waited an hour for food as well.. Will not be back. Fish made my stomach hurt and threw up.

Horrible service. Sat for 15 min before seeing a waitress. Our to go order came out prior to our actual meal. They have reminders for wait staff to be nice.

Left much to be desired. Nachos were very disappointing. Wings were okay but everything else was below average. Wouldn't come here again. The waitress was not very enthusiastic and slapped the check on our table without asking if there was anything else we needed.
Update: Most of our party got ill with vomiting and diarrhea after returning home from our meal. Definitely seems like we acquired food poisoning. Additionally I found hair in my salad.
avoid eating the food at this restaurant!

Went in sat at the bar. There were 6 other people. Bar tender gave my menu to people who already had food 4 seats away. The customers gave me the menu. Very small menu, not many options. Ordered the queso nachos ... they came out with cheap junk canned nachos cheese. Huge chunks of onions and tomatoes, no care in the prep. The cheese was disgusting, not at all what I planned for a lake lunch. It was $19 for the nachos with chicken... complete waste. The live music was good and unexpected. It will be a long time before I would return here. Get it together.

I went to spend a nice time with my family there but unfortunately the red-haired woman who serves didn't want to give me drinks just because I'm Latina. I don't understand what her problem is. She ignored me the whole time and didn't want to sell me anything at any point. If any Latino is thinking of going there, it's better that they don't go. That's my experience with that place. Very Bad.
Great restaurant! Nice people. Good food
