“ Love the food and place never miss it when I go to Lake Puckaway..good service...great brunch on Sunday too... ”
“ FANTASTIC AYCE fish and chicken on Friday nights! Served family style with coleslaw, boasted taters, German potato salad, baked beans, and rye bread. Very reasonably priced, with a nice view of the lake. You can dine indoors of out. There can be a wait, and the seating can be a bit tight, but you won't mind once you take a bite! ”
“ Every year we go on vacation and usually come on Saturdays for the prime rib and the salad bar and soup bar. This year we came on Friday and unfortunately they did not have the amazing soup and salad bar up and running. But we did have really good ribs and the Friday night special fish and chicken. All you can eat was amazing. There were eight of us and the kids had the chicken fingers and fries. The German potato salad is so good and the beans. We will come again for the fish fry for sure on Friday. Next time we go up. The place was a little warm but then it was hot outside and service was good as could be with them being so busy. Everybody's friendly there and great atmosphere. ”
“ The food was great! We stopped in from the campground multiple times during the 4th of July. The bartender Linda was awesome. She ran her butt off and was super nice. ”
“ Nice people. Very good and reasonably priced food. Great view of Lake Puckaway especially from the dining room porch. ”
“ Excellent food, t-bone melts in the mouth tender, and seasoned perfectly. Hubby had prime rib, said it was Excellent. Salad bar real fresh and delicious, soup was great too. Service was great, friendly staff, thank you. ”
“ Have not ever been here, but based on the reviews, I will absolutely be checking it out when we go to Arrowhead next time. Had no idea that there was something so close. Arrowheads' food is awesome, but throwing in a good friday dinner with the family is always a good time. Look forward to camping season '24. We will see you then ”
