Pettit's Lakeview Bar and grill

Outdoor seating aplenty!!! Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I decided to venture to this hidden gem!!! I didn't even check in the large building -- it was too nice of a day to do so. Cocktails are very beach-vibe, light and refreshing mixes for sunny summer days! I tried the Mermaid Lemonade with rum, curaçao, and lemonade. So tasty and not as sweet (good thing!) as I was expecting. Food options are plenty and have very reasonable prices for portion size and quality. I orders the classic Bleu cheese wedge salad. I wasn't sure if it was order at the bar or table service, but sign stated to seat yourself so I did. I was planning to take a few photos then check in with staff, but a server came out promptly and got me set up with menu and tableware. Dogs are welcome and plenty of kids running around on and out of the water. Live bands every Thursday-Sunday. For safety-- I noticed an AED onsite outdoors which makes me feel good!

The atmosphere was so great! Awesome lakeside dining area and patio! The food was bar food... it's not fine dining but it was good! It was a busy afternoon and the servers were hustling their tails off!

Maybe we visited on an off day but this place really, really sucked. We ordered curds, a burger and the Italian beef sandwich all of which was bland and way overdone. Absolutely nothing was palatable. The service was inattentive and all the help seemed more intent on socializing with themselves than guests.

Great spot on the water with nice views, good food and service. We sat outside on the deck and it was awesome!! Definitely recommend!!

Was referred to come to this spot for lunch as we were in the area and also looking to a good lunch break. We were fortunate to have Lilly as our server and she did a fantastic job. Very attentive not to keep us waiting. We had the bloody Mary's, spicy - just enough heat and not spicy. Started off w the wonton cheese sticks. What a great idea! Really tasty. Dad had the CA chicken sandwich, and had the spicy shrimp appetizer and his daughter had the crab cake grilled cheese. All very good. We sat closest to the beach and enjoyed watching the littlest having a great time in the water. Definitely reminded us we needed to make plans for a much needed vacation. Would definitely recommend. Stop by and ask for Lilly.

Absolutely love the atmosphere. Restaurant is right on the lake and has a beautiful view. Menu has a lot of food and drink options. Loved the blue cheese wedge salad that was on special. If you're looking for a fun place on the lake with good food and drinks, this is the place!

We were there in a crazy Saturday night so service was crazy but we had a great server named Maddie and our burgers were great. Would return! A different day we were there for a band for lunch and it was great , quick service!

Lake view restaurant with live entertainment, outside, on the weekend, great place with some great food choices. Staff is very attentive and friendly. We talked to Kimberly and Alyssa behind the bar, they gave great recommendations and excellent service.

Nice lake view, good drink list, good service and wait time, but food was poor quality. We ordered the mozzarella sticks appetizer, a BLT sandwich, and I had the cod fish fry. Very disappointed in the cheese sticks. Just a school lunch string cheese wrapped in egg roll wrapper and fried, served room temperature by the time it arrived. BLT was okay. Fried cod pieces were tough, chewy, and small. The coleslaw that came with the fish meal was likely a day or two old, wilted and soggy. The mac&cheese that came as my second side with the fish was the same as my childhood Kraft mac&cheese from a box, shockingly the part of my meal I enjoyed the most. Would not return unless just for drinks, because those were good, well priced, and cold. We drank tap beer and Chardonnay wine, which came as an entire mini bottle just for me.

Food just ok, the bartenders tonight were treating the bar like their own basement party. Both vaping all over the place, male bartender vape was peach.... grilled cheese was cold. You can definitely tell when owners are in Florida for the winter. Very sad.
