We have been here so many times in the past and have loved our service and the food, and have given excellent reviews! But not today. I said I can't eat onions, yet she let me order the au gratin potatoes... onions! The stuffed shrimp were really not stuffed, the breading was mushy and hardly any shrimp or other seafood! My husbands shrimp basket was mostly shrimp breading without shrimp. The side salad was good. The waitress showed no remorse when I told her the scalloped potatoes have onions. It wasn't busy but yet she never came back to check on us. We will probably will never go back. Makes me sad because I used to like this place so much.

One of the worst meals I have had in years. The service was really slow and it took almost 45-60 minutes to get our food and was almost to the point where we were ready to leave without eating. When our food finally arrived it was BAD. Every dish was missing things. The Philly Cheesesteak was 80% gristle, the bun was an old stale hotdog bun with a ketchup thumbprint in the back of it (yuck), my side was less than a dozen cold from frozen French fries, they originally forgot the au jus but when I reminded them I wish I hadn't because it was so bad. My GFs order had sand in it and she was given some very off tasting mash potatoes. I would not recommend this place, especially at its price point.

Holy buckets.That about sums up my experience at the Waterfront Lakeside Grill. Immaculate, excellent, or outstanding are additional adjectives that would suffice. I will start with the atmosphere: the entry door is at ground level and leads to stairs which go up to the dining area. On the left is the bar and some booths, and the right is an open section with some tables and windows that overlook the lake. The bar was a little loud (it is a bar, so that's expected), but otherwise I liked the vibe of this place. However, we visited on a gorgeous Wednesday night that simply required outdoor dining. My group of five was led through the bar to the outside deck. Sat at a table with an unbelievable lake view, the hostess immediately raised the umbrella for us, and we then took in the scenery of Clearwater Lake.Next, our waitress, Natalie, brought us drinks and menus. There are countless options for food, and I attached photos of the entire menu to this review. Needless to say, Waterfront has a dish for you no matter what you are feeling like eating. I went with the Waterfront Baked Pasta, and my party ordered the Reuben, Stir Fry, and Chicken & Ribs. While waiting for the food, Natalie kept our drinks full and continually asked us if we needed anything. The food did not take very long, and it all arrived piping hot!The Reuben and Stir Fry both got good marks from my family. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone and delicious as well. Two of us also got a side salad with a variety of veggies, and they looked very fresh. Now onto the Waterfront Baked Pasta. I am not typically a huge fan of pasta, so I was on the fence about this dish to begin with. But I went with it and crossed my fingers.Dang am I glad I did. A large portion of fettuccine noodles smothered in alfredo sauce, topped with chicken, bacon, mushrooms, mozzarella, and cheddar quickly caught the eyes of everyone in my party. Double-plated due to it's recent emergence from the oven, the cheese was browned to perfection, and I wasted no time before tasting it. Creamy, rich, flavorful, and decadent, this was the stuff of dreams. You must give it a try!I'd like to give a special shoutout to our server, Natalie. Kind, positive, and helpful at every opportunity, she made us feel so welcome on this August Wednesday night.From the cabin-like atmosphere to the lake views to the attentive service to arguably the best pasta dish I have ever had, the Waterfront Lakeside Grill easily received 5 stars from me. If you're ever in the area you have got to stop by, especially if the day is nice enough where you can sit outside. Well done, Waterfront, I will be back!

My favorite restaurant to eat at when in Buffalo or Annandale. I always have the server order for me, and have received a different meal each time. The house special with added jumbo shrimp was excellent.

Saw all the reviews before I stopped in. Our service was good and the food was hot. It's a little in the pricey side for me personally. I got the breaded Walleye sandwich. It was good, but it wasn't amazing perhaps due to the plate size, the portion looked small. Would be nice if it came with coleslaw and fries; would help to better justify the price.I will say that the Waterfront Baked Pasta was pretty amazing. Wish I'd have taken a picture of it to post. Again, a bit pricey, but that one was large and delicious.Service was good, took a minute to be seated, get food etc. this isn't a face paced diner. That was ok with us since we were just hanging out with family.Hopefully the owners are Yelp users who can use the feedback to increase their ratings. Considering all of the 4-5 star reviews for other restaurants, there's some tough competition in the area.

My hubby and I just had dinner there last night, We were seated right away and right next to there cozy fireplace in the dining room. The service was great along with the food. The clam chowder was excellent!!! We eat there often and we are never disappointed. Indoor/ outdoor seating with nice views of Clearwater lake. We also like to come by boat in the summer.

I went to the Waterfront tonight for dinner. I patiently waited by the "Wait to Be Seated" sign. Numerous staffers walked by be, ignoring that I was even standing there. Only one said, "Hello" but nothing more. I would think one of them would have said, "We will be with you in a minute." I finally walked out.

Waited to be seated while staff walked by my group multiple times without saying anything to us. Took 2 hrs for food to be served.

Came to get some dinner and while waiting to be seated a lady came up and asked for silverware from the host, explaining her husband had a salad and had been waiting to eat it. So we left...

We were in the area for a week and stopped here on Friday night. There was a 30 minute wait but the hostess was doing what she could to improve that. She offered us two high-tops in the bar pushed together for our group of 5. We accepted it and it worked OK. The waitress was personable and efficient. They were busy and the kitchen was short-staffed so our food was a little slow but not too slow. When it came out, the portions were huge and cooked well. The ribs fell off the bone and the walleye hung over the plate. We certainly didn't leave hungry. It looks like the tables in the main dining room had views of the lake but the atmosphere in the bar was fine.
