8 Best Bar & Grill near Lake Shore

“Nice bar grub place with decent food and generous portions. The steak tips were really good and I enjoyed the horseradish steak sauce that came with them. My wife had the brisket dinner and she enjoyed it as well. It's not the cheapest bar grub place I've ever been to, but then again, you are in tourist country.Overall a very solid 4.5 stars, especially because of the super friendly service.Advice: save yourself the $4 for the add-on shrimp, they are not worth it.“

“Excellent food and service. Order the pretzel bucket app, Swedish Goat Burger, Lobster Bisque soup, salads, and Saturday Prime Rib special. SKIP the Greenie drinks. We had a late dinner so it was too dark to enjoy the lake view scenery, but the interior decor was okay - definitely a cabin vibe. Our daughter's basketball team was there for a weekend tournament so we had a very rowdy and large group of 36. Not only did our waitresses flawlessly take our orders, serve our drinks, apps, soups, salads and entrees timely, but she also figured out our separate checks per family despite the fact that the team sat separate from the parents. She deserved that big tip! Here's what we tried: Soft Pretzel Bucket (4/5) $16 HUGE bucket shared by the entire table of 36. Great pretzels and cheese sauce. Didn't try the mustard sauce but I wished for a bit more salt. Swedish Goat Burger (5/5) $17 This sucker lasted me 3 delicious meals! A must try if you like goat cheese and lingonberries (like small cranberries). The caramelized onions and large bacon strips made the burger perfect IMHO. Lobster Bisque Soup (4/5) $4 very flavorful, filling, rich and creamy. I had no detectable slivers of lobster though. Saturday Prime Rib special (5/5) $29 for the large 16 oz portion. Best meal at the table. Everyone's steaks were cooked to order perfectly. The side salad was LARGE and fresh. 3 at our table ordered the Greenie drink since we heard it was their drink specialty. I could feel the alcohol but couldn't taste it. Good lemon-lime flavor but it was SO sweet, it gave us tummy aches. None of us finished the Greenies and we all switched to other drinks. Our daughter and her friend shared the chicken strip bucket and the classic burger. She said both were good but nothing special.“

“I had lunch by myself after a full morning of pickleball. I had a tall Blue Moon that was only $5. I ordered the Taco Salad....it was huge. Very fresh greens, tasty Taco meat and plenty of typical fixins including Jalapeños which the waitress asked if I'd like. She also offered extra sour cream and salsa....no extra charge like other places. She was so nice and very attentive. Great place ....always very satisfied with everything I order here. Definitely recommend.“

“Great food and service! We had the shrimp tacos and a Reuben. Both were excellent. Very good tap list and drinks as well.“

“My friend and I decided to go to Baxter Bar and Restaurant ( Arrow wood hotel ) . We enjoyed our martinis! Our appetizer was absolutely amazing! Delicious!! Our server and entrees were very good also! Only issue was the music was hard rock and LOUD!! They did finally get some one to turn it down and change the music!! Thank goodness!! We could not hear each other speak!! We enjoyed it! Cheers!!“

“A new favorite place to stop or make the drive for. I went for a bold move with the reuben sandwich for my first meal of the day, and it blew me away. Neither of us were able to finish more than 2/3 of or dish, and it fed us again later. Shrimp tacos are massive. Amazing, will be back! (The merch is top quality too, I setup some of it!)“

“We've been here many times over the years and it is on of my favorite places for a nice diner or a quick bite. Dave just does it right. The soups are amazing, main dishes are incredible and his quesadilla's are very special, never had better.A+A+A+A+ You can't go wrong stopping here!“

“Quick attentive service. Checked on us 5 times! Wild rice soup was very good-needed a bit of salt. Tots were super crispy, and cheesesteak was good size and yum. We came in from course starving and were quickly seated, served, food was super super fast!“
