“First time stopping in. The food was great. And the price was very reasonable. The place has great atmosphere, clean & so much to choose from. Staff was super friendly. Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“What a place with an old time feel! They are on their game, we ordered on the road 10 minutes out and when we showed up our food was waiting for us. After looking around the building, they have a great condiments bar for all your needs! All the employees were working to get people their food and everything from the kitchen that was on the shelf for customers looked awesome! We got cheese burger clubs and some dogs, which were awesome! Bathrooms and everything was very clean and these guys definitely pay attention to detail on everything! In conclusion, all the food we had was great and these guys will see a surge in patronage as word of mouth goes along way. We just stopped in for a quick lunch on coming home from the beach, and the place continued to fill up as we were there! Johnny, Christos, and company are doing a great job and we will be back very often, because their food and menu options are that good! As I am writing, my wife continues to tell me about the food choices available from the Lantern, which is making me hungry as I write this! You boys have a great thing going and keep it up as we will be continuous customers moving forward!

Sincerely,
AJ Gorman (New regular customer)“

“Definitely Lakeside dining at its finest! 🌊✨ From crispy, made-in-house buffalo wings to savory empanadas, the diverse menu is packed with fresh flavors you’ll love. I chose to indulge in the surf & turf skirt steak with garlic butter shrimp, and I ordered a light refreshing salmon, berry, and goat cheese salad. Paired my meal with a fresh OJ, creamy matcha latte with oat milk, vibrant hibiscus Paloma with a Tajín rim. Savor the lakeside vibes at Indian Lake Bistro—where nothing’s frozen, and everything’s delicious!“

“Had lunch there with my wife my cheese burger platter was excellent. Marlene had a dog all way and onion rings excellent. Coffee was good. Nice place .going return soon.“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“My first visit to this restaurant on August 21st, 2025 was a resounding success, with the food being truly exceptional. The grilled salmon, accompanied by onion rings and vegetables, was a highlight, and our waitress, Jean, provided attentive and friendly service, making us feel right at home. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding cuisine, service, and ambiance. Oh btw, the complementary bread alone is worth the trip!“

“This is the second time we’ve had Samar as our server, and he’s just wonderful! He’s so attentive, friendly, and always has a big smile on his face. We came in for the Triple Chocolate Meltdown (which is always a favorite!), but having Samar take care of us made it even better. The service here is always great. Our food comes out quickly, our orders are always right, and even the manager stopped by to check on us. This place really has that cozy, hometown restaurant vibe that makes you want to come back again and again!“

“As a local mortgage lender, I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants, but Rails Steakhouse stands out as my absolute favorite. Everything I’ve ever tried here has been excellent — the honey bourbon ribeye is my go-to, the Caesar salad is phenomenal, and the blue cheese au gratin potatoes are incredible. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is top-notch. The speakeasy downstairs is such a cool addition and makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Rails for anyone looking for an unforgettable meal and vibe.“

“I went there for Amazon return. It’s just right next to #1 cashier, and the return process was quick and easy no label or box needed. Whole Foods market was huge and nice selection of produce and products available and convenient to go another shopping place like Loft and Talbot. Only concern was Google map guided me to middle of hwy 46 not the exact store. Be careful!“

“This is the best Applebees around! The wait staff are always very attentive and friendly. We love the food here. We will always be coming back to this Applebees. Thank you so much. Steven, the manager was so very helpful and Emily our waitress was truly something special!“

“The Second Half on Main is such a great spot! The owners are absolutely amazing—so friendly and welcoming. The service is always fantastic, the food is delicious, and the whole place just has such a fun and cozy vibe. It’s the kind of place you can go with family or friends and always feel right at home. We love it here and can’t wait to come back!“

“NOTHING... The service was horrible and the wait time incredibly long. Then on top of all that they AUTOMATICALLY added a 20% gratuity to our bill and when the bill came there was a space to add a gratuity... so if you don't look at your bill and just add the gratuity you got RIPPED OFF“

“I just discovered this place. Great Chicken.“

“If you have an expense account, enjoy. Well prepared, and way above average quality and taste. But price is even higher than what you would expect at an airport. Highly recommend the turkey sandwich, but all our entrees were really good.“

“Great burger and fries great server definitely coming back with the girls“

“Delicious, flavorful, high quality food every single time you order! You can tell the chefs put care into what they do! Large portions of fresh food. Staff is always kind of hospitable, always offering extra sauces and sending free food in their deliveries!
10/10 wonderful business 🙏“

“We dined at Robert’s for the first time. We were celebrating a relative’s birthday. The food was outrageous! The appetizers were amazing as were all of the entrees. I had chicken stuffed with mushrooms and I can honestly say that it was the best chicken I have ever eaten. The portions were plentiful. We had a large selection of desserts to choose from at the end of the meal. I chose one particular dessert but before mine came out, I asked if I could exchange it for one that someone in our party had in front of her. No problem. They accommodated me and it was beyond delicious. Also, the staff was very attentive during our whole meal. They could not have been any better. The only negative was the fact that there was also another birthday celebration going on at the same time and it was so noisy that we couldn’t hear each other talk. Despite that, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this fabulous restaurant.“

“Breakfast was so so delicious! Staff were all amazing, super kind and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“Las hamburguesas 👍🏼 estaban riquísimos y las papas con tocino“

“Stop in soon and see the renovations, beautiful, and the food, yummy and the staff, friendly and the wait time, almost none, and the prices great, the portions ginormas, and the parking, tons of it. Chris, Gerry and the staff are terriffic. Come in a sit a few and chat with them and enjoy a meal. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you won't regret it!!“

“We held a high school graduation party for my daughters in our back yard for 75 guests. American BBQ staff Dominick and Sophie showed up as scheduled and did their setup in the space we had reserved for them. Dominick proceeded to fire up the charcoal and then knocked it out of the park shortly thereafter. We went with the American BBQ menu and our guests ate to their heart’s content. Under the tent they provided, Sophie provided impeccable service to our guests as they came up for food ensuring all the essentials were readily available. She also cracked the whip on Dominick to keep the food coming at a steady pace. When time was up, they cleaned up, packed up and disappeared like they were never there. Every single one of our guests gave us positive feedback on the catering and now I’m passing that along to all who may be considering hiring this company“

“Great burgers, great prices! Our new “go to” diner!“

“This place cranks out the best Taylor ham egg n cheeses. Any negative review you see of this restaurant is false. Seriously, get the TEC w SPK on a roll and you will literally soon after be telling someone else about how delicious it was.“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Miguez at Yard House yesterday, and his service was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Thank you, Miguez, for making our time at Yard House so pleasant—we’ll definitely be back because of you!“
