"So , I am conflicted as the pizza , potato skins and the marinara rolls were really good but it is a Monday night and not super busy so we put the pizza order in at 7 PM and at 8:40 the pizza just arrived.. So fun place , good food and drinks but I would say that they need to work on the speed in the kitchen and the did not seem all that apologetic that it took so long. I am local so I will try again and see how that goes a second time."

"We love this place. Phil and Carla renovated a drabby little bar into somewhere with a touch of class. It is welcoming, bartenders are always friendly, and the food is always delish. The specialty pizza is great along with quality drinks. Phil and Carla are super hospitable, and even hosted us for our wedding back in 2019! I'm impressed at all of the updates, and we are excited to spend time in the new pavilion :) The neighborhood friendly activities are always a plus with the Halloween party just happening last weekend that was a hit! LOVE LOVE LOVE. We will always be back."

"We just hosted a graduation party of 60 plus people at Lake George Lodge. We had pizzas, Italian beef, and more and it was all delicious! Many guests complimented the food and the atmosphere. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating in helping me plan this event. The service was great! I would highly recommend having a party at Lake George Lodge!!!"

"So, this place is one of our go tos. It is a great place to just catch a drink and some random conversation. The bartenders are all cool and professional. They treat everyone like a regular. The food options are on point depending on the day but for the most part...can't loose with the pizza or the Italian beef. Great location."

"We attended a Halloween party at LGL which was also a fundraiser for our local sharing center. They had lots of fun activities for both kids and adults like painting pumpkins & shuffleboard! There is also a great outdoor space with a volleyball court, bags & horseshoes which kept the kids busy for hours before the Halloween Costume Parade! The food was delicious & I definitely recommend the Italian Beef Sandwiches. My favorite thing about LGL is how involved the owners are with giving back to the community. They put a great deal of effort into a really fun family event that also benefited our local community. If you're in the area make sure to stop in for a drink & bite to eat!"

"Great place for food and drinks! The works pizza and taco pizza were both great and the build your own burger was huge! The games were free too so that was a nice feature. The prices were good as well so I'll be back for a night out sometime soon."

"If you're looking for a classic Wisconsin roadside tavern, this place will fit the bill. Cold beer, bar food at a great price, bar games galore (pool table, shuffle board, darts, horse shoes. They even have a volleyball net!). We got the Friday all day fish fry special. It was super good! They use Spotted Cow for the batter which makes it even tastier. The portions were big too. Two pieces of fish plus your choice of potato side. My wife and I split it and were both satisfied. It is also not far from the lake and looks like they may rent out canoes and paddle boats."
