Good food, good service. Great view of the lake. Red Flag Flank steak salad was made with fresh greens, feta, dried cranberries, and served with delicious dressing. The flank steak was flavorful but had too much tough fat in it and thus was awkward to cut on top of the salad. The Garwood sandwich was topped with pepperoncini and a mustard thyme dressing on fresh bread and was very good.

Yikes had to ask for to go containers before our food ever came after an hour of waiting. Slowest service I may have ever had.

While the soup was good, they were unable to fulfill the full order. The staff was ungodly slow and rude. Did not provide ice with drink or refill in timely fashion.
Overall not great, won’t come back.

We dined hear twice while on our vacation. By far the BEST food on both lakes!! I would highly recommend Lakeside Charlie's. Food was very CLEAN, nothing processed & portions were very generous!

This place use to be very nice but they need to invest in some new decor and outside updating and cleaning. The stake was ok. The drinks were okay though the margarita was heavy on sours. 5 people $140 plus tip - most in pur party said the food was OK. The server was split between inside and outside so she had to be flagged for refills and to get check. So overall I can say it is a 3 but priced like a 4.5. Would not say hard no to returning but might think about options.

Nicest view of the lake we found with outdoor seating. Food was a notch above while not being overpriced. Service was pleasant and accurate. Clean with nice bathrooms. Lots of seating and parking.

We stopped here on our way to Traverse City. It had a great view of the lake and food was delicious! Our three kids loved their meals and were size appropriate for the price! Great place! 😊
Lakeside Charlie's! Great service, great food, great views! Sat Lakeside at a swinging table, listened to good music and everything I ordered was delicious. Definitely recommend (Spinach Dip, Chicken Morel and the Espresso Cheesecake)

Turkey wrap and sandwich were really good, Mac and cheese wasn't that good. Very good fries. All were reasonably priced. Outside had swing tables, inside had nostalgic decorations.

The staff is very friendly. We were seated when we arrived. Our server was quick, friendly, and efficient. I had clam chowder and seafood Alfredo both were wonderful. My son had firehouse chili and Mac and cheese ham sandwich which he enjoyed very much. It was an overall great experience. We will be back.
