Lake George Lodge

Friendly staff, yummy food, great environment! We got "The Works" pizza and it was so delicious. We also loved the white cheddar cheese curds and southwest salad. Staff was great at preempting our needs and bringing us extra water and silverware without having to ask. Owner is very kind. Also, a jukebox to choose music!

I wish I knew what happened to this place. The recent reviews ring true unfortunately and the staff is the best part of this experience now. The food prices go up however the quality significantly dropped of the last few years. We understand how Covid affected prices however that is not a valid excuse in a quality decrease. Other similar establishments in the area made the same price hike but maintained quality. Why is this place and exception???

Bartenders are the best thing about this place. Friendly and speedy service behind the bar. Food...only ok at best. Half price pizza used to be good. Now they've changed the sausage and gotten skimpy on the toppings which are charged for each item. The kitchen staff could use a clean up, get some aprons or at least a branded t-shirt if you're going to let them out of the kitchen. These guys were a MESS and did not make my meal more appealing! While you're at it, the entire place could use a scrub down and a good mopping! Also, how cheap are you to charge the customers a transaction fee when using a credit or debit card? Add that into the cost of the goods, it's a cost of doing business not to be tacked on to the bottom line of the customers.

Dude, what in the dude with this place? It took us over 40 min to get a burger and a couple of ham and Swiss Sammie's. When they finally served us they were burnt, dry and taste like mayo covered bark. I really liked the bar staff, she was really genuine and attentive. Clean your grill, guys....

This is a rustic watering hole in the midst of transition. I was dragged there kicking and screaming as I had been there multiple times under past ownership when it was really dirty and icky. It is now very evident that there are upgrades being made to the building, and decor. It seems there have also been some serious upgrades to the food. I can recommend the steak sandwich in particular although the chips & salsa seriously lacked salsa and the cheese curd appetizer portion was minimal. The poppers appetizer was good. The drinks were good too. The place really used to be a dingy dump of a local bar, but the new ownership is clearly transforming it into a community asset. I can't wait to see the final product. WARNING: Major construction on highway 45 will make it very difficult to reach throughout the summer, but persevere, as it will be worth it.Cons: still a bit dingy, not enough tables/booths as 2 pool tables take up too much space, and some seating is too hard & uncomfortable, and they were a little understaffed. Hard to tell if they are going to make dinning more of a focus, or just staying a bar. Pros: the food is an upgrade from area pub grub, the bathrooms are new and CLEAN, good sense of place, very pleasant views of lake from some tables, terrific tv size meant a clear view of the Blackhawks, bright new floors & newer lodge themed decor will be a winner when complete, and a very long bar. Outdoor, lakesideish sand vollyball courts.No mixed/frozen drinks, unfortunately.

We have been there 4 or 5 times to have a hamburger. The pretzel buns are great, but the hamburgers not so great. Every time we have ordered medium well, comes back blood red and still dripping. We sent them back and it was returned to us warmed, but still blood red. The hamburgers were cut in half when we sent them back, how hard is it to look at the color of the meat before you return the food still raw. Not to mention the owner of the bar sat at the bar 2 feet from the discussion between my wife and the bartender about the raw hamburgers, and he didn't blink an eye or step in and rectify the situation. I guess his beer and pizza were getting cold, so our bad experience wasn't worth bothering with. Never again!

Only a three star rating on yelp. No way, this place is great! Excellent service, a good selection of beers and the food is Pub food, but so much better than any I have had. My bf loves pizza and it's pretty good, the burgers are the best I've had and I'm from Chicago. I also have tried the blt- really good, cheese curd not greasy and yummy. We also shared the potato skins (the half order) and it they were good. And more then enough for two. They also have a good selection of salads, but try the hearty not healthy stuff!

Should I even say this? Lol ok.... Here's the secret Seriously... "BEST Fish fry EVER". I say this not knowing the staff or the locals. Just stopping every time we're close! Crispy HOT Fish, the breading stays on the fish, doesn't fall off after you cut it with your fork. Potato Pancakes?? Oh My LAWD!! Its GREAT!! But It's my secret no more!! Lol Enjoy, and hopefully I'll still find a table!! Yum

Don't bother if you are hungry. Kitchen is always busy and you will end up waiting over an hour to eat. Place was empty and waited over an hour for our food. Bartender was less than friendly and gave us the excuse carry out orders were backed up. Same excuse last time we came. Owners need to address this issue. Telling customers there is a wait for food when ordering would have been nice. We wouldn't have wasted our time. Took pizza home and the crust was raw and soggy in the middle. We won't be back.

We waited 1 hr for an order of 3 burgers. The restaurant was not busy at all. They came out wrong and burnt. We won't be back.
