Fairmont Shores

If you can imagine a Wisconsin Supper Club (good food all around) married to a classic sports bar (TVs and good drinks with decent pours) right on a nice-sized lake, you'll get an idea of what Fairmont Shores is like. The first thing that strikes you when you enter is the crowded and noisy large single room with a square bar dominating the center, all with a pleasant welcoming neighborhood feel. This restaurant had unbeatable ambiance: inside with a wall of windows looking out over Fox Lake with the sun setting in the evening, and outside with a lakeside patio deck available when the weather co-operates. We started with cocktails and beer, all nicely brought off - routinely 4 star stuff. For appetizers we tried the Mozzarella Sticks (5 star cheese sticks nicely breaded and done just enough to get the cheese softened) and the Bruschetta (a 4 star offering with a nice baguette with all the toppings and a nice balsamic glaze). For mains, and since we were here on Friday: two of our party had the all-you-can-eat fish fry with a choice of fish (our selection was 4 star stuff, nicely fried white fish); another in our party had the grilled salmon (a nice 3 star offering of salmon - a hair overdone - served with hushpuppies, and fries or a baked potato): and what the last in our party had was probably a wrap (?). Service was on point: they had lots of servers, quick food preparation and delivery from the kitchen, and an active full-service bar. You may want to make reservations so you are not disappointed ... this place gets crowded fast, especially on weekends. And don't forget the standouts here: all-you-can eat Fish Fry Fridays, and Sunday Brunch from Easter to Labor Day. If you are out this way, you have to give this place a try.

Excellent restaurant, right off the water! The food was incredible as well as the friendly staff. Cant wait to go back!

When a friend invited me out for lobster mac and cheese I was pretty excited. I haven't had a good one in many years and sadly I still haven't had a good one in many years. To be fair, the pasta was cooked well and the lobster itself...if that is what it really was...seemed alright. But the cheese sauce. Oh the cheese sauce how bad can you get? I so wanted a creamy gooey cheesy goodness but what I got seemed closer to Cheez Whiz. Don't get me wrong, Cheez Whiz is great on an authentic Philly Cheese steak but not in my lobster mac and cheese. Is that what they actually used? I don't know. Maybe it was Velveeta. Who knows? The burgers others in our party looked good and the service was pretty on point so I may give them another try, but it for sure won't be on a Thursday night for lobster mac.

Great views of Fox Lake and good food and drinks! I had a Mai Tai and it was delicious...my husband had red wine wand was good. The shrimp salad with mango salsa is yummy and perfect on a warm, summer day!

Cute spot for dinner and drinks. Right on the lake, very nice patio. Lots of options on the menu, specials on the weekdays. Great salad, big with tons of toppings. I enjoyed my time here.

Had my birthday party last Saturday during the afternoon and it was fantastic! The food was terrific and the wait staff was excellent! Thank you to everyone who was involved.

Wonderful dining experience. Very calming and great food. Fair pricing and attentive service and as a bonus Great Lake views.

Great location and food. Fun atmosphere and good service. Try the meatloaf or fish fry on Friday.

Have been here several times by boat. I enjoy the fish fry and several other items on the menu but each time the service has been worse and it was never good for any visit. My last visit was indeed my last unfortunately, I consider myself very patient and understanding. Waited 2 hours 15 minutes from time of order for our meals last Friday. After 90 minutes we decided to ask but no notification pro actively to our group. Another 15 minutes later they tell us no hush puppies and we're not gonna change anything at that point. Mind you at this point the restaurant was past closing time and empty but we were still waiting. 30 minutes later we scarfed our food down which somehow was luke warm but good and headed out for our night of activities although way later then planned. Still tipped 20% for our $150 bill to not be a jerk but obviously it wasn't deserved.
