50 Best American Restaurants near North Lake

“ordered a pizza to go Friday night. While they stated they were short staffed. I received a salad drenched in dressing verses the dressing in a separate cup which then leaked all over the place along with a mediocre pizza with maybe 5 pieces of sausage. $40 for terrible take out. Do better... I would have rather waited longer for a pizza and salad done correctly.“

“Excellent food and service. Revere’s is our go-to place.“

“We had such a nice lunch today at around 2pm, the food was fantastic. The main reason for leaving a review though, is for the wonderful service we received from our waitress. She was so friendly and helpful, and we appreciated her very much. Her manner was pleasant and upbeat and we left with full bellies and huge smiles. We will definitely be back!! 💜“

“great place staff is very nice and place is very clean, i so come back again for sure.“

“😁The best service you'll ever get.“

“Great Food, Great Atmosphere and Michelle Thomas is hands down the best waitress you have, do not lose her 😄“

“Awsume smoked BBQ on menu !! Huge beer selection plenty of parking room Great music and entertainment outside“

“decent food. Friendly wait staff. Maybe 3.5 out of 5 stars for me. Only thing that I thought was odd is that you have to wait until your whole party has arrived before they will seat you. It's not a Bartolotta's restaurant, it's a bar. Only 4 of us looking for a regular 4 top table. They wouldn't seat us until the remaining 2 showed up. There were 11 open tables. The place was not packed. I thought that was strange.“

“Mobley burger is a favorite of mine, as well as the cheese curds!“

“Fish fry , fast professional service. Very friendly!“

“I had ate here tonight for the first time as we are from out of town. I am SO glad we found the 5 O’clock club. First, our server Melissa was amazing. Even though she was busy, she gave us the back story on the restaurant which made the experience that much better! How the OG Grandma Mary’s great grandson is now the chef, HOW COOL!! now for the food, I saw duck wings with a cherry sauce for an appetizer and immediately new I wanted to try them and I’m so glad I did. Probably a new favorite! Then I ordered salmon for dinner which was cooked perfectly and not to mention the French onion soup was to die for! We had 3 people at our table, everyone loved their food. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!! If I’m ever in the area, I will be back!!“

“First time here. Took a long bike ride with some friend and we were hungry for some ice cream.

Food:
When we first entered it didn't look like they had much in the way of ice cream. They had lot of different choices including cones, sundaes, and shakes. We ended up getting a couple of Turtle Sundaes, a PB Lovers Sundae and Pumpkin Shake. Took a few minutes, and had it delivered to the table. All of them were excellent. They looked great, had plenty of fillings, nice whip cream, and the cherry on top. It looked like it was made with care.

Service:
Not exactly sure, but I think the person waiting on us was the owner. Super friendly and helpful. Did a good job of explaining the different sundaes. Delivered the food to the table with a sense of urgency (don't want the whip cream to melt).

Atmosphere:
The place is part of a larger strip mall like building. It's on the end, and has an outside area with tables. It was a little cool, so we opted to sit inside. Big tables for groups of 4. Big windows with lots of natural light coming through. There were seveal other tables there, and people were having friendly conversations. The noise level was good.

Glad we stopped. We hear they have good burgers, so we will need to try those next time.“

“Beautiful, relaxing place even when it’s busy. Cocktails are very nice on and off the menu! Cheers!“

“The Crafty Cow is a fun spot for a quick bite. We ordered the Hot Honey Cheese Curds as an app, and had the True Grit Burger, Dill Dip Chicken sandwich, and the Nashville Hot Ramen. All items were fantastic. The curds had a Hot honey glaze that was delicious. The sandwiches were huge! The Dill dip was so flavorful. Burger was done right, with substantial toppings and crispy fries. The Ramen bowl was a unique twist, with a great flavor profile. Definitely a must visit in Oconomowoc!“

“very polite staff & great food“

“OUTSTANDING food, every time! Also great service, even when dealing with shortages. This is a (somewhat secret) GEM in this community!! My husband and I LOVE the Mexican Skillet! The fish fry is also great!!“

“Have been going to Woody's since August 2021. Friendly staff, and great selections on the menu. Location is great for people who like to ride motorcycles, bicycles or car. Located on HWY 83 and routes to many other contry roads. My personal favorites are the burgers or cracked chicken. Everything is good no matter what you order.“

“The crispiest golden brown hashbrowns and perfectly browned corned beef hash! Giant servings! Great value for the corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, and hashbrowns-my all time fav!!!:)“

“Went out of our way home to stop at Machine shed for the third time while on vacation last fall. ❣️❣️“

“My husband and I had dinner at Twisted Fire, Oconomowoc, WI on Thursday, June 17, 2022. It was fabulous! I ordered Truffle Fries, Chorizo Stuffed Dates wrapped in bacon & pipperada sauce = sooo delish! I have to go back and order these again! Out of this world amazing! I also ordered the Tuna Special which was grilled to perfection and came with baked small potatoes and baby broccoli tips all prepared just right. My Husband ordered the Italian Pizza with Breadsticks. He also raved about his choices. We want to give a shout out to our server Colton who was knowledgeable, and so fun! The whole night was worth every pretty penny spent there. We can’t wait to go back! This was my second time there and both times they didn’t disappoint. Kudos to you Twisted Fire for beautiful atmosphere and a ton of Gluten Free choices. The whole experience is worth going back again!“

“Great atmosphere good food and cool bartender.“

“My 7 yo daughter and I stopped in today grab some lunch for the first time. Our server was Christina and she was simply amazing! We never had to request for a refill and she made sure we had everything we needed. She offered helpful suggestions, too. Children's menu was great with lots of options and the menu has lots of variety as well. I did get the Artichoke dip which was the best I've had. 10/10 and we'll stop again when we're in the area.“

“Everything was fantastic! The food was excellent, and the service was fast and very friendly. We got our meal remarkably fast considering how busy the restaurant was. The view of the lake made our meal even more enjoyable. I would recommend the Copper Dock to anyone looking for a nice dining experience.“

“A warm ,relaxing atmosphere with outstanding service! I had the prime rib and my wife had the chicken Madeira, both excellent 5 stars !“

“Amazing food, amazing staff! Love Lauren!!“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch. Was busy! Maddy, our server was super friendly, helpful and quick. We’ve not eaten here before, she helped us pick out some fan favorites. The margarita pizza was AMAZING! Crust so good, sauce just a hint of spice, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Would I normally order this at a bar like this? No. But I will be craving it and coming back again! Hubby had the Reuben, said it was also awesome! Thank you! Will be back.“

“What a gem! Great food, service and affordable!“

“I stopped in for lunch today at Billy Ho's and had a great experience.
I had a chance to meet Billy while I was there — really nice guy who clearly takes pride in what he does.
Since I missed out on a Reuben on St. Patrick’s Day, I went with Billy’s Famous Reuben and added a side of tots. The sandwich was exactly what I was hoping for and the tots rounded it out well.
Billy Ho’s has been around since 2007 and feels like one of those local spots that has built a loyal following over the years. It’s tucked under the American Legion, so it can be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
The menu has a good variety with burgers, sandwiches, fish fry, pizza, and I’ve heard their wings are something you shouldn’t skip.
If you’re looking for a solid lunch spot in Pewaukee, WI, this is definitely worth stopping in for.“

“The young people that work in this store are always so pleasant, friendly and kind. Great work ethic! It’s really a pleasure to stop by and grab something to eat or drink. Thank you!“

“This is by far the best Culver's we've been to. Everyone is always so friendly, especially Heather working the drive thru. Friendly employees like her shouldn't be taken for granted, they are what makes your restaurant stand out above the rest! Food is always fresh!“

“The Delafield American Legion is your home away from home. Friendly atmosphere, you always leave making new friends. They offer food, drinks, and have a hall available to rent for special events. The patrons and staff are very friendly. We have spent quite a few days hanging out here, as well as been to a few events put on by The American Legion. Good place to spend time and make a few new friends when in town.“

“Linda our waitress was the best at our mother's day brunch. We always had refills before we even asked. She made me feel so special on my day. Even more than my kids, lol. Please give her a raise.“

“Whitney is the best server we have had, not only this location but anywhere we have visited. Whitney is kind, understanding, and very attentive. She anticipates the customers needs being quick and efficient in her efforts to please. We appreciate her tremendously. This Pewaukee location has to be the best. Management truly cares about the guests as well as her people.“

“stopped in to have lunch with my husband...got drinks mind u bartender/waitress wasnt friendly at all..must b real hard to put a lemon in water these days...sat for a good 15/20 min waiting to get our order taken ..it wasn't even busy!!!!!...Never again“

“The fresh bread, potato pancakes, and bourbon baked cod were PHENOMENAL. I will definitely be back. Staff was top-notch and very attentive.“

“Amazing lunch & it’s my sons favorite place in pewaukee - he lives 5 minutes away ❤️“

“Stopped in for lunch and was glad I did. Friendly service from the jump—felt like a place where everyone knows each other, but newcomers are still welcome. Locals at the bar, couple of regulars playing games in the corner, and the staff chatting like it’s just another day in paradise.

It’s not quite a dive bar, but has that same laid-back, no-BS charm. Heard good things about the steak sandwich—can confirm it lives up to the hype. Solid lunch spot with a comfortable vibe, decent menu, and just enough grit to keep it real.“

“I have Never had a bad experience at this restaurant. They make you feel at home! Very friendly and efficient staff! Entrees and desserts are large and Verry delicious!! I would highly recommend this restaurant“

“Great perch fry! Always great service“

“We haven't been able to eat at George Webb since the Hartford location closed. Since we were in Oconomowoc we stopped for breakfast. What an amazing staff you have. You even helped my husband by letting him have a few jelly packs for my mil in the nursing home. Thank you so much for making me smile and btw, the food was great!! Karen St George“

“I would like to give appreciation to the staff working at the Sussex location at 1pm today. I come to this location pretty often, maybe a bit too much lol and they always get everything 100% correct and have fantastic service. Today they went above and beyond. I usually order my drink with no ice and today I forgot to ask and they did it. I’m not sure if this was even intentional or not, but love them for that. If there’s any type of reward or something that even I can do to show my appreciation I would love to know! Thanks so much as always!!!!!“

“Although I recommend we haven’t experienced the great food and service we’ve had in the past. Bar area and Kevin were great as always but our dinner and service was below average. We waited an extended amount of time before we were greeted at our table. Our 1st batch of fish was warm at best. We waited 10-15 minutes with NO fish before our waitress returned to our table to ask if we wanted more. She then took our French fries and didn’t bring more back with the fresh serving of fish. My biggest complaint is if an establishment is going to charge extra per plate for the all you can eat option PLEASE train your staff to be attentive to their tables and bring the fish as needed as that is what we are paying for. Every time we decide to come for Friday night fish we always hope for a better experience but unfortunately that’s not been the case for some time now.“

“We have eaten at Belfre several times, but this is our first time with the new ownership. FANTASTIC! Everything from the food, service, and ambiance exceeded expectations. Our server, Andrea, was knowledgeable, experienced, and total energy!“

“Amazing ice cream!! No scrimping on add ins. Love it!!“

“This place is amazing!! Friendly staff all around the place! Food is incomparable to anything else! Was there for our anniversary and definitely the right decision. This is the second time we’ve been there and we will continue to go.“

“Amazing staff, food and drinks!! Be careful the chicken sandwhiches are addicting and definitely the best in the area!“

“Overall great place. Knew previous owners before the current but I am happy the vibes are still the same! Minor difficulty to get to the ramp if cars are there if you are wheelchair-bound or using a stroller. Still great! Love the food and ice cream!

Parking: There is only 3 or 4 parking spaces before the signs of tenants parking which is only 2.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Great to bring kids for ice cream

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchair access however cars aren't super mindful of it so you might have difficulty getting to the ramp.“

“Whitney is the best server we have had, not only this location but anywhere we have visited. Whitney is kind, understanding, and very attentive. She anticipates the customers needs being quick and efficient in her efforts to please. We appreciate her tremendously. This Pewaukee location has to be the best. Management truly cares about the guests as well as her people.“

“I ordered the fish and shrimp combo, and man let me tell you, it was outstanding! I had the fish blackened Cajun style had them dust some Cajun seasonings on the perfectly fried shrimp. I thought I was in Florida. If you know you know!“
