Our appetizers were good and we enjoyed the rolls and apple butter. I don't even know where to start with the rest. There were 4 of us total so we shared everything. We did the sampler trio with mushrooms which were my favorite, cheese fries and cheese curds. The fries and curds were average. We then split the breaded tenderloin and spicy breaded chicken sandwich. I'm guessing since we said we were splitting the they split it for us but gave each person a full bun. Nice thought but you had half the meat and a whole bun. As soon as she sat the tenderloin half down in front of me I knew I wouldn't eat it. I could see the gristle and it turned me off instantly. I took a bite of the spicy chicken and couldn't even bite through the chicken it was so tough. 3/4 people spit one of the sandwiches in their napkins. It was so bad. Why a 2/5 stars instead of 1. The mushrooms were really good and the onion rings were too. The service wasn't bad. This place is in the middle of nowhere, it says Lakehouse but it's just a big pond. If you are feeling festive they still have Christmas decor hanging from the lights.

Went on Mother's Day, and got a nice seat inside with a view of the water. Outdoor seating also, and a great atmosphere. Got some free rolls with cinnamon butter and apple butter. I recommend the cinnamon butter. Ordered fried shrimp with a Caesar salad and baked potato. The salad came out and was amazing! They gave me grilled shrimp instead of fried, but that's fine; I like both. I recommend ordering two skewers if you get the grilled shrimp. The baked potato was massive! They gave each mother a free little cheesecake, which looked and tasted very good! Our waitress was very polite and service was quick. Even though it's not in town, locals know this is a great place! Definitely recommend.

Amazing! My wife, daughter, and me decided to take a random road trip today and stopped in on a whim. Man, are we glad we did! What a gem!! We sat outside on their deck overlooking a beautiful pond. It was perfect! Great atmosphere and family friendly.The food was great! My wife ordered the 10-piece shrimp with steak fries. I ordered the NY Strip with steak fries. My daughter ordered the kids fish sticks with fries. My wife and I split our meals and shared with each other. My steak was a perfect rare, the breaded shrimp were absolutely delicious! Our salads were amazing too! The onion rings were a great appetizer! My daughter's fish sticks were also great! Not you typical Gordon's fish fillets. No! These were hand-battered fish! I had to try a bite. They were delicious! The service was fantastic! Our server Theresa took excellent care of us. Theresa was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Our appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert came out perfect and she made sure our drinks were full and that we were all taken care of. I would drive back again! It was that great!

Everything about this place is great. Food is outstanding, we had the bluegill fillets and portobello fries shared between the two of us and we still had leftovers. It's got that feel of a quaint lakeside restaurant and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend.

I ordered Cod dinner with salad and mashed potatoes. The cod was wonderful and not at all greasy. The salad and Mashed potatoes were very good too. The food is good and I recommend it. However having said that this place is in the middle of Timbuktu so if you enjoy that kind of thing it's probably a good place to go. My boyfriend got some kind of chicken dish with mushrooms and cheese and he really liked it and his fries were not at all greasy either. In fact they were so grease free that I asked them if they had an air fryer but they did not

Enjoyed a fantastic evening on the deck at Big Willet's! Ordered the all you can eat (Thursday nights) Catfish, it was divine. Anastasia was a great waitress who checked on us just when needed, kept the cold refreshing beer flowing!Looking forward to my next trip back to Indiana... this place is now on my must visit list!!!

5 of us tried to go there to have dinner. They wanted to seat 5 people in one booth. There was table empty big enough to seat us but it was reserved. Upstairs dining was closed because outside dining was open even though it was overcast and looked like rain. We agreed to go outside to dine hostess seated us under a roof and someone else came out and said we had to move it was also reserved. The only place left was uncovered outside dining with rain in Forcast. All I can assume is they did not want our money. Very rude and unaccomidating. We left and had a great dinner at a different establishment. I don't know how food was staff was unaccomidating and rude.

I ordered the special that was prime rib served cold and baked potato that wouldn't even melt the butter and cheese. I won't return and at minimum wouldn't recommend either item. Sub-par dining experience at the least and if I could give it a negative I would have. If Gordon Ramsey or John Taffer experienced this they would have come unglued and totally snapped on the Manager and Owner. Good luck staying open.
