This is a local, very casual atmosphere. In my opinion, dinner is the best time to go. The lunch menu is limited to mainly sandwiches.
The dinner menu claims they have the "best steak on the lake" (Friday/Saturday only) of which my husband agrees. The grilled chicken is excellent. They also serve lobster, prime rib and Baby Back ribs (Thursdays only).
