We went back last night, many months after our first visit, and had a much better experience. They now have a kids meal - score! The kids burger was huge for the price. They don't have a printed menu so it's either verbal or you have to hunt around on the website. I wish they had a coloring sheet kids menu. The spicy chicken sandwich was phenomenal. The nachos were good/different. The fried pickle/jalapenos were so crunchy and served with 3 different sauces. We were seated upstairs which has a nice quiet vibe with 1 giant TV and 2 smaller ones. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Glad to have come back!

We visited on a nice Friday evening, opting for the patio with heaters and live music. The entertainment was great; not too over-bearing and the song selections appropriate for the ambiance. The food was solid. We ordered the meatloaf, fried pickles, and venison chili. The portions are hearty so we easily shared our meal with some leftovers to spare. The service was prompt and attentive. We gladly recommend to anyone seeking a great meal in a laid back environment.

Went here today with my Family.Manager Josh needs more training. 1) he forgot to bring out condiments after being asked repeatedly 2) did not provide refills for tables without a male guest present3) did not engage in conversation with tables without a male guest4) did not greet or thank parties without a male guest present I am seeing a pattern here. Shameful.

This is my 2nd time here and everything I've ordered was great! From the employees to the food and the environment/ambiance, I dig this place.

We checked out The Rackhouse a second time after a disappointing first visit. To our surprise, we were delighted with the food options, live music, service, and management. We went on a Saturday when they had a guitarist/singer perform. He was amazing. Sadly, there weren't many people on the patio supporting him. Check The Rackhouse out on a Friday or Saturday evening for live music and a great view of the lake. There are space heaters propped along the tables to keep you warm this winter. We tried Berry Me Please, Fried Pickles and Jalapeños, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Ribeye, and Sloppy Sundae. Hands down, the Fried Pickles and Jalapeños were the best item of the night. Second would be the Sloppy Sundae. The Ribeye didn't have enough marbling so it was a bit tough. My husband really enjoyed the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Make sure you get it with the sauce so it's not too dry. The staff is great and the general manager and store manager are awesome. We'll be back!

I was recently looking for a restaurant with private seating for a small (13 person) family Christmas gathering, including dinner and a White Elephant gift exchange. I submitted the request form on The Rackhouse's website and immediately received a canned response that they were working on another event, also providing some more things to consider - things like menu selection and things like that. I actually appreciated this email and its contents, even if it was an auto reply!The private room upstairs sounded great but was really too big for our small group - we wouldn't order enough to reach the minimum spend but now I want to find a larger part and use that space!Amy quickly reached out to me to discuss my request. After a couple emails she called me to answer any questions and nail down any details. There is a room just off of the main dining room that they use for a semi-private space. There are a couple ways that the room can be arranged based on wants and needs. Amy was very accommodating, even thinking to include an extra table for the gifts so we don't have to fit everything on the dinner tables. My husband and I decided to have dinner there to see if the food would be something the others ("picky eaters") would like before pulling the trigger and booking the space. We had dinner the next night and afterwards I immediately booked the space! Turns out there will be a couple of parties in that space at the same time but Amy assured me that will not be an issue. We are so excited to introduce our families to something new!We met JT, the manager on duty, and discussed room setup with him for a bit as well. When we asked about the menu he said that the Buffalo Chicken Dip appetizer was his favorite appetizer - maybe of all time - so we began with that. It was very flavorful without being too spicy to enjoy. We both loved it!! We chose the naan bread to go with the dip. Chips are the other option. I also ordered one of their Summer Cocktails, the "Berry Me Please." It consisted of Bacardi, Simple Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice, Black RaspberryLiquor, Blackberries and Mint. Since it was in the Summer menu I'm not sure if it is still available but if it is - get it!! Yum!!A restaurant owner/chef we know told us once that his test of a new restaurant is the cheeseburger. He said that if they mess up a cheeseburger that they are less likely to do other things well. Rich has taken this to heart and he ordered the Rackhouse Smash Burger. He thought it was great - it is definitely on my list of things to try! The fries were very tasty as well. I ordered the Baked Stuffed Shrimp. There were 5 good sized shrimp with quite a bit of stuffing. Both the shrimp and the stuffing were outstanding! The shrimp wasn't overcooked at all and stood up to the delicious stuffing. This will be included as I build my rotation of meals I like for sure. The dish comes with yellow rice pilaf and sautéed veggies. I substituted mac & cheese for the rice and kept the veggies. If I have any less positive feedback at all, it is that in my opinion, the veggies were a little overcooked. I prefer a bit of crunch - or at least a "bite" to them that was lacking. Instead, they were a bit mushy. I might try them once more to see if this was a one time experience or if it is just how they cook them, in which case I'll simply substitute something else going forward. No dessert for us this trip - we both had hearty sized to go boxes and couldn't handle another bite! As we ate, we could hear JT visiting the other tables, asking how things were and conversing about how the diners had heard about The Rackhouse. That is always good to see and hear - it shows me the restaurant family cares about the opinions and feedback from the guests. Finally, I have to say that Amy was wonderful to work with!! The Rackhouse is locally owned and she and her husband are a couple of the owners. Amy gave me a little history of the building's past (dive bar) and also said to try and time our visits to see the sunset. One entire side of the restaurant is garage doors and the sunset is supposed to be really amazing. Unfortunately for us, we went on a cloudy day so there was no sunset to be seen (but be sure to check out the sunset photos others have posted on Yelp!) but we did move the time of our party up a bit in the hope that the skies will be clear that day. We are both looking forward to enjoying the food and experience either the family. Fingers crossed for clear skies but even if we don't have them I think the food and overall environment are good enough to stand on their own!

First time here since they changed into this new spot and it's definitely much better than whatever restaurant it was before. The atmosphere is great and staff is wonderful! Our waitress was really nice and so was the bartender. We actually got pretty full on the buffalo chicken dip so we had some left overs but food was good. Really loved the dip! We'll be coming back.

This is such a cool place It doesn't look like much from the parking lotWe pulled up midday midweek We opted to eat on the patio as the weather was beautiful The view of the lake is surprisingly breathtaking We had a great waiter but forgot her nameMy friend is gluten free and she went back to check on menu items. She was able to advise her on menu items that were gluten free.It was a really nice meal. I def will like to visit again at night on one of their live music nights.

Lunch selections included breakfast foods- nice! Portions were very large- easily twice what you'd get for the same money elsewhere for some entrees. Every entree was tasty: tacos, chicken fried steak, and guac toast. Bread pudding sauce was served boiling but I was warned. Bread pudding was very average. Waitstaff was sparse and inexperienced, but supplemented by management. Would return.

My Girlfriend and I made two visits since they opened. The first visit they were busy and the outside was full so we sat inside. The second visit we requested and got the outside as it was not as busy when we went during the week. We also got live music when we were seated outside and it was a little loud to hear each other talk. However, if you were going to hear the live music then it isn't an issue. The server was very attentive and helpful on the first visit BUT the food came out very slow and the stuffed shrimp was cold so not great. The second visit the service was not as attentive for ordering and refills on drinks but the food did come out promptly after ordering. My girlfriend loves a good gin and tonic and she ordered the house gin. We didn't ask what the house gin is and assumed a more generic brand. The Rackhouse is fancy and the house gin is Aviation. She is not a fan of Aviation as it is very heavy on the elderberry and very fruity shall we say. So if you are more a fan of say Tanqueray you should be sure to ask specifically and not get the house that is Aviation. For the first visit i had the Ribeye. The steak was really good as well as the mashed potatoes. The only complaint was it was a very small serving of the mashed potatoes as a side and the steak as well for the price. Potatoes are cheap so could have been a second scoop. The side salad was very good and i really like the croutons. The Stuffed shrimp was stated to be really good all the way around except for coming out cold. The bread pudding was good and the sauce on it was very good. And was a solid dessert all the way around. On the second trip I had the Country Fried Steak with the Jalapeño Gravy and did the Mac and cheese with bacon. The gravy was very interesting with a little spice to it but not hot. The country fried steak was solid but not the best or worst i have ever had so it is a good choice if you like Country Fried steak. The Mac and Cheese was the same but you can never go wrong with bacon on anything. The outside patio is great so if looking for a good outdoor venue they should be on the top of the list. The food is very good as well so you should come try them.
