8 Best Bar & Grill near Lake Shore

“Stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday evening and was quickly greeted by a nice bartender. We grabbed a table and the server was alone in the place that was quite busy. She did wonderful until her help arrived. Cold drinks and great food. Definitely return here in the future.Dietary restrictions: Not a ton of GF options“

“Excellent food and service. Order the pretzel bucket app, Swedish Goat Burger, Lobster Bisque soup, salads, and Saturday Prime Rib special. SKIP the Greenie drinks. We had a late dinner so it was too dark to enjoy the lake view scenery, but the interior decor was okay - definitely a cabin vibe. Our daughter's basketball team was there for a weekend tournament so we had a very rowdy and large group of 36. Not only did our waitresses flawlessly take our orders, serve our drinks, apps, soups, salads and entrees timely, but she also figured out our separate checks per family despite the fact that the team sat separate from the parents. She deserved that big tip! Here's what we tried: Soft Pretzel Bucket (4/5) $16 HUGE bucket shared by the entire table of 36. Great pretzels and cheese sauce. Didn't try the mustard sauce but I wished for a bit more salt. Swedish Goat Burger (5/5) $17 This sucker lasted me 3 delicious meals! A must try if you like goat cheese and lingonberries (like small cranberries). The caramelized onions and large bacon strips made the burger perfect IMHO. Lobster Bisque Soup (4/5) $4 very flavorful, filling, rich and creamy. I had no detectable slivers of lobster though. Saturday Prime Rib special (5/5) $29 for the large 16 oz portion. Best meal at the table. Everyone's steaks were cooked to order perfectly. The side salad was LARGE and fresh. 3 at our table ordered the Greenie drink since we heard it was their drink specialty. I could feel the alcohol but couldn't taste it. Good lemon-lime flavor but it was SO sweet, it gave us tummy aches. None of us finished the Greenies and we all switched to other drinks. Our daughter and her friend shared the chicken strip bucket and the classic burger. She said both were good but nothing special.“

“We can't speak more highly of luckys! The menu is huge, everything delicious and large portions! BEST bar chairs you will ever sit on in your life! The staff is always on top of your every need. There is a reason this place is always busy. Have been here 100+ times and never leave disappointed!“

“We were so pleased with our meal here! The cheese curds are some of the best we’ve ever had, splurge and order these for an app! We also got the pork ribeye and cherry bomb burger and both were incredible. Anytime we’re in the area, this will be our first choice!“

“We pick up from Side Track for dinner sometimes when we don’t feel like cooking but still want to enjoy a delicious meal at home just us family, it’s healthier than fast food and it’s right down the road. We also dine in sometimes. Always a good time, fantastic breakfasts! Thank you!!“

“My friend and I decided to go to Baxter Bar and Restaurant ( Arrow wood hotel ) . We enjoyed our martinis! Our appetizer was absolutely amazing! Delicious!! Our server and entrees were very good also! Only issue was the music was hard rock and LOUD!! They did finally get some one to turn it down and change the music!! Thank goodness!! We could not hear each other speak!! We enjoyed it! Cheers!!“

“We came too late for the restaurant, so we moved to the bar. Was pleasantly surprised that we could order off the menu still since we only had an hour before they closed. We never felt rushed and everyone was so nice and fun. Enjoyed our hour there!“

“Quick attentive service. Checked on us 5 times! Wild rice soup was very good-needed a bit of salt. Tots were super crispy, and cheesesteak was good size and yum. We came in from course starving and were quickly seated, served, food was super super fast!“
