Awesome seating outside where the building protects you from the wind. Great bourbon selection, the drinks are awesome. The wait staff are friendly and funny. They're not afraid to help each other out to make sure you have a great experience.“

“I have found the best Walleye dinner I have ever eaten here, and my favorite waitress, Tia, is just a real treat if you get lucky enough to be served by her. Have also had other meals at this place, and they were good, but thinking about the walleye makes my mouth water, its that good! Just do yourself a favor and make it to this place on a Wednesday, Tia is the walleye princess for a reason! It;s hard for me think of a better dining experience, I now look forward to Wednesdays.“

Parking: Front and side parking. Lots of lighting.

Wheelchair accessibility: West front side of building.“

“My husband and I have enjoyed our dinners here for 45 years. Similar menu and same receipes. We celebrated our wedding rehearsal dinner here. Our favorite restaurant for our anniversary and birthdays, the best restaurant for Friday fish fry in the state of Wisconsin!“

“Fish fry was the best I've had in a while!VERY VERY BUSY!! Staff was great but service was kinda slow due to the amount of customers. Our experience was positive and we will go back. We will try to get there early next time! Things are tough all over but I thought they did a great job.“

“Exceptionally excellent food and peeps!!!“

“It is New Year's Eve 2024. We just got home from Michael's On the Lake and my husband ordered the special 44oz Porterhouse and it was divine! This steak was at least 3 inches thick.....but maybe more, so flavorful and melted in our mouths. (He shared a piece with me.) He ordered it rare snd it came out perfectly. All the food was fresh. The music and atmosphere were classy and subdued. The wait staff is well trained and friendly. The old fashioneds were great too. Michaels on the Lake is a jewel of a restaurant. This family owned and run place is worth the drive!“

“Love this place! Right next to my work.“

“Great food, but Not Sure For a Quick Lunch
We were driving down 173 the other day, saw their sign and tried them out for lunch. You enter into a fairly large dining room with many tables. To the left is a large bar. There was one other couple and two groups of 6-8 seniors having lunch. We later saw that the seniors were bridge players and started playing cards after lunch. Only one server/hostess was working and she worked hard. She took our drink order, ice water for me and fresh brewed Iced Tea ($3.00) for my wife. We then took to studying the expansive menu. It is just like the menu at Dockers down in Fox Lake. You name it, they have it. We see our server refilling drinks for the other diners, bringing out some appetizers, etc. and finally taking our food order. We were in no rush and just sat and talked. Then we saw our server bringing meals out to people that were there way before we got there. Not a good sign as there was another large group still to get their meals in front of us. Our drinks got refilled and we sat some more. Our food finally arrived after an easy half hour, maybe longer. She did explain that it was only her and the cook so that's what took so long. The meals were worth the wait. My wife had the Dockers Style Marinated Chicken Plate ($15.99) with fresh fruit. A warm pita was topped with a juicy and tasty Greek seasoned chicken with a side Greek salad and several slices of fresh fruit. I had the Grecian Salad with Chicken ($15.99). Prior to bringing out our meals, our server asked if I like anchovies on my Greek salad - I sure do and she loaded me up. The salad was composed of plenty of the usual Greek salad ingredients and a very tasty dressing. This could easily be shared. Our meals were excellent, fresh and flavorful! Everything we saw go by looked delicious and we would go back again if we were in the area, just not if we're pressed for time.“

“Haven't had/been there in so long. It's been like 6 or 7 years. Possibly like 2018 or 2019. Customer Service went well, Concrete Mixer is so good, Restaurant is cleanliness even the floors and I will be returning! Good job Culvers in Antioch! ❤️“

“This store frequently has very slow service, even during off-peak times. Possibly short-staffed? Other fast food restaurants in this area seem to have same problem so not just Culver's. Food is always good quality and staff is nice. Just slower than normal for a Culver's. Waited for about 15 mins for a simple order from drive thru; single cheeseburger, fries and a drink; nothing out of the ordinary.“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“I can't say enough good things about the people at Red Oak. Everyone who works there is delightful, friendly, professional, and accommodating. Their mission of serving local farm foods is also wonderful, and not only helps the community, but I feel better about what I'm feeding my family. The chef crafts a seasonal menu and great specials based around what is in season. Plus the food is delicious. We typically come for Sunday brunch, but dinners are equally great. We live in Illinois but spend time in the area frequently during warmer months, and dine here regularly. Family friendly. Great patio (occasional bees, beware). Fireplace in colder months. Retail items like locally made jams. Highly recommended!“

“Burgers are excellent! Love the Hot mess.. Service is Excellent! If you havn't been.. GO.“

“Walking into reflections is like walking into a a family home. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with wonderful memories, cozy vibes, and history. Once you are seated, depending on where you are either looking out the beautiful window overlooking the deep lake, or a perfect view of the stage where there is a piano player (very soft and light music). If your lucky, which you will be, Jack the owner start playing the accordion. Your table feels like your own dining room table. This a is a polish restaurant so I recommend getting the polish platter to sample all the amazing staples they offer. Whatever you get you be satisfied. The food is absolutely delicious. Grab the pickle soup if it’s the soup of the day, but any soup they serve is delicious. They also have a great kids menu which is a bonus! If you choose dessert, they will show off their amazing arrangement of treats to choose from. You can’t go wrong with any of them. Jack and Lydia’s has been a local staple for the community and it’s always such a pleasure to dine with them!“

“great owners great food love the deck in the summer looking out at the water“

“I stopped by here on a whim last Saturday night because a friend recommended it to me. it's a quaint little joint in a 'middle of nowhere' kinda town. I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. Not too big, well lit and a friendly crowd. I was told that I had to try the food. Whenever I first try a new place, I usually try a burger of it's on their menu. Lots of smoked meats are available here as well! Brisket, ribs, wings etc. Quite the selection! I got the bacon cheeseburger and omg! It was BANGIN!! Come hungry too cause it's a half pound of mouth watering beefy deliciousness! The crinkle cut fries are an awesome addition to this monster burger as well. 😋 I ended up staying longer than expected as some people that I knew showed up and it was worth it! Great time here. I'll definitely be back (if they allow me) Did I mention the awesome bartender? 😎 Highly recommended.“

“What a great local place. Just had one of the best fried chicken dinners tonight. Homemade soups and dinners are always top notch. 😋“

“Great bar and great food. The bartenders are some of the best. Fast, kind and look out for patrons, highly recommended“

“Excellent food and customer service!“

“Five Stars!!! The Stumble Inn is a staple in the area! Whether you are after their world famous “Crispy Pig” or one of their other awesome burgers, this is it!!! Cold beers, great mixed drinks and a friendly waitstaff (and owner). You can’t go wrong!! Enjoy!“

“fun times and good people.“

“Awesome place friendly staff and people great food 😀 👍“

“One of my absolute favorite steak spots. The quality and portion sizes can’t be beat! When given the choice between Ruth Chris and Wilmot I pick Wilmot everytime. I’m fairly certain you get an entire stick of butter with each baked potato too. The history is an added bonus. The museum area is so unique and really walks you back in time. I suspect it may be a little haunted up there but not in a bad way. I’ve never felt uneasy upstairs. Perfect place for a special dinner or when you are craving a perfect steak! If we lived closer we would be regulars.“

“delicious and Jamie the bar tender is so good“

“Stopped here on a Saturday night on our way through to Illinois. It was very busy. They had St Patrick’s Day specials as well as their normal menu and regular Saturday specials. Everyone was nice and things appeared to run smoothly in a crazy busy atmosphere. Food came out promptly and was very good! If we ever find our way down here again I’d stop back and recommend to others as well. I don’t usually do reviews but was impressed enough that I felt I should. Thanks again!“

“Always a good time here, good service, and delicious food.“

“Love coming to this bar & grill when I can. The extreme burger 🍔 is what I highly recommend. Great staff and great owners!“

“I came to try the meat loaf stack and my wife the steak sandwich. We thought the food was delicious, and the service was great. We arrived a little before 5 on Friday which was a good time because the restaurant filled up quickly after wards. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Hosted daughters baptism party upstairs. The Food was great and staff was even better. I highly recommend them if you’re passing through down town Antioch!“
