Tried for the first time and decided to sit at the bar. Service was quick and the food was very tasty! Highly recommend the enchiladas!

The restaurant was slightly remodeled, which gives it a brighter appearance. The staff was wonderful and so friendly. Adriana (server) was so attentive and efficient, and the drinks that Michelle (bartender) made was delicious, and shes always willing to remake it to your liking! The food was good. Im looking forward to trying some of the other items next time.

Food was delicious. It was very clean and looked amazing. Only reason not 5 stars is that the service was a little slow and the sides and mains came out at different times. It was overall a great meal and will be back again.

Good food. Nice music selection. Good service but just a bit slow, probably in need of more help in the kitchen, we had a big table though, but still 4 served fast and the others 15 mins after, they can fix that. Price was affordable too.

Place is clean and service is great 👍.Food was ok. Looks like the fajitas chicken was cooked before hand and mixed it in with vegetables for serving. Rice and beans were room temperature.Great location by the lake

My boyfriend & I ate at the bar last Friday and everything was fantastic! The cocktails were great! I had the Lakeview Margarita which was yum! I wasn’t as hungry as my boyfriend so I got a chicken quesadilla which came with a good amount of gauc and I had leftovers. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fajitas which were amazing! We will definitely be back!

The good: Staff was friendly, made small talk with the bartender, decided to come here for a light lunch with my wife. Average looking sports bar, wobbly tables, giant tvs, the works lolThe bad: ordered a simple drink, Jack and Coke, soda was flat and notified the barkeep, She said she get right on it. This was right after we ordered our food. Left the drink on the table and didn’t touch the rest. Didn’t get my new drink until I was already more than half done with my food. It got busy, low staff, I get it. But at least the second drink (MBB) was better.The worse: I ordered a chimichanga with beef ($14). There was something off with the meat. Chewy and weird aftertaste. Wife got the cheesesteak, it was ok. Food overall was unimpressive but at least hot. Heres where it pissed me off, the bartender came back with our receipt. She charged me a double shot of jack (which I never asked for) and god almighty! what an overcharge for a drink because that single drink cost more than the actual food!! The total for the drink alone was $16! $3 charged for double shot, $3 for the initial pour, and you guys are telling me your flat coke cost $10 a glass?? That is absolutely ridiculous, especially that sneaky extra charge.There are also card fees they don’t tell you about at the bottom of your receipt. So fair warning, bring cash. All in all, very disappointing experience.

Gina the bartender was fabulous. Unfortunately the Spanish music was so loud I thought I was in a Latina club instead of a sports bar. There was a few people in the back tables for a bday party. Why should I have to deal with extremely loud Latina music while having a cocktail and trying to watch some golf. I will not return.

I have been coming to Lakeview since they’ve opened, the vibe is outstanding, very fast service, even when the place is crowded. If you have food allergies like me they are extremely accommodating with how they cook the food. And if you want a great drink make sure to ask for Pilar!

Would not return here. Not many people and yet service was terrible. Took a long time to get drinks. No one ever asked if we wanted another drink. My friends dinner was all wrong. They kept bringing me the wrong soup until I finally said forget it. My sides came out 15 minutes before my meal. Don’t order lobster rolls. It was like a kid threw it together. Terrible communication. Was super disappointing.

We went here tonight to support a local business. It was early and the 4 of us were the only ones in there. Noone greeted us as we came in the door. We seated ourselves. A server came out, never addressed us or told us her name. It went downhill from there. The food came out at different times. It was cold. My husbands hamburger was dry and for an 8 oz burger was very small.The fries tasted like they were fried in old dirty grease. I ordered a cheese quesadilla. It was also small with a glob of greasy cheese on top, with no sauce or pico. The food was cold and flavorless. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Insanely expensive and not good food. Literally their pizza is $12 and maybe a slice and a half of real pizza. It cost me $85 for 2 cheeseburgers (one kids), a kids hot dog, 2 tasteless fried pickles that is weirdly served with marinara sauce, and a slice and a half of pizza.

I had a fabulous meal with my dad and my husband this past Labor Day weekend. We enjoyed the fresh fried calamari appetizer while sipping our drinks. My dad enjoyed the rib-eye steak and my husband gave the Atlantic Salmon a big thumbs up. There were plenty of vegetarian options available for me. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Our server was friendly and attentive. Support our local businesses!

Horrible. Service is awful, food is even worse. The bartenders ignore you to talk to their friends and eat in the back, I waited 15 minutes just to get greeted, the bartender never asked if I wanted another drink, she just gave me my check. I will never be back here. I have worked in restaurants for years, this was one of the worst experiences. Such a disappointment considering how close it is to home. This restaurant will be out of business soon. There is obviously nobody managing the ignorant staff.

Ordered through the app Slice. It took them over and hour to deliver. Pizza arrived completely cold, looked like it was made the day before. Does not specify the size of pizza, received a personal size pie that cost me the same as a large pie. Soup was cold. And was charged for delivery. I called the restaurant they would not do anything and said they would have to call me back after speaking to a manager.They attempted to put all the blame on the delivery person.

I have a soft spot in my heart for independent restaurants and small businesses, guys really need to step up your game with the food. Tonight I had a beef burrito it was 60% rice 30% beef and 10% beans. For $14 I would expect better beef maybe some guacamole and some flavor in the burrito. The burrito has to be one of the easiest dishes to make I don’t understand why you can’t make it greatI would really like to see you guys make it, but you need to step up your game.Service was a little slow.My Margarita was weak at best.Don’t be like Stay Fresh up the street from you, invest in quality and it will pay off in the long runOn the good side I think the atmosphere is very nice the karaoke tonight was terrific.Best of luckWayno

Ordered the blueberry mojito and Im not even sure there was alcohol in it (very weak). Chips and salsa were served to the table and the chips were stale. Zucchini sticks were good. My friend enjoyed her skirt steak. My other friend said her chicken quesadilla was dry and her side of guacamole was brown on the edges. A little on the loud side and echo-y. When waiting for my change after paying, the waitress had asked if I needed change. I misheard what she said because it was loud and thought she asked if I had gotten my change back so I said no. My mistake, so I told her I needed my change back. I waited almost 20 minutes and had to get up and go ask her for my change. Not sure if Id go back and if I do Ill most likely wait a few months.

Great place. Love the music and energetic vibe that you don’t get at other sports bars. I could imagine it being really fun for soccer games.

After three visits, Im ready to form an opinion.Bartenders: A+Servers: AFood: CAtmosphere: B--Asked for a taco dish to have no onions. Reiterated the need for no onions and was assured there would be none. Came with onions.- Atlantic Salmon stuffed with crabmeat is actually over-salted and over buttered salmon with a heated (formerly frozen) crab cake puck on the side.I cant see this as a destination for a family dinner as the poorly described entrees with incorrect photos are meh at best.I can see this as an after work destination for happy hour drinks and bar food (burger/wings)As for live events it looks like they will have the same fate as previous establishments due to terrible acoustics (loud) and tight layout. They have to keep the jukebox on low volume due to complaints... and lack of sports for a sports barJoe and Michelle are fantastic bartenders and should be recognized as why we would come back for happy hours during the week. Servers are friendly and polite but need to learn the menu more as there is quite a bit of Ill ask and going to the back to ask about dishes since the menu does not explain anything of how certain entrees are prepared/ cooked (grilled/broiled/fried)

Ordered the chicken Enchalada. Everything was fresh and tasty. The only concern I had was the quac. Im not sure if it was freshly made or store bought. It felt like it was too oily and didnt turn brown after keeping it in the fridge for two days 🤔
