“ Great food, outstanding service and a great place to unwind and relax. Sometimes they have live music on the weekends. ”
“ Awesome casual ambiance that totally embodies lake life. Service was amazing so was the food (especially mozz sticks!). Great beers on tap. Highly recommend! ”
“ Husband and I went to Lakeview Inn Saturday late afternoon and had the deep fried mushrooms and onion rings. Both items were very good and the Bloody Mary was excellent!!! Ordered a small meat lovers pizza to take home and we're very impressed how good it was as well. It was awesome and will definitely return. That Bloody Mary though!! Must return for one of those!!! Service was good too, all around great experience!! ”
“ Went to dinner 8/17/23. Food and service were done. Great to have a live band (whisky retreat). It would be awesome to see if it was even better on the front porch. ”
“ My wife and I tried their buffalo wings, garlic bread with cheese and tomatoes and a 12" homemade pizza. The wings were the best around, crispy and sauced. The garlic cheese bread with tomatoes had such a rich garlic flavor and the tomatoes were fresh and juicy too! We waited till we got home to try the pizza which was also very good. The crust was my favorite part! Very good food all around and the service was great. We will definitely be going back to try their plenty of other food options as well. They get 5 stars from us for sure!!! ”
“ I really liked this place before the pandemic, but now that they have a brunch menu (and mimosa to appease the wife & sister in law) it's so much better. The breakfast pizza is AHHHHMAZING. the staff is so nice. I think we've been there every Sunday since they started doing brunch. See ya there!! ”
“ Oh boy, I found a new place for pizza. We stopped by the Lakeview Inn last Saturday as we heard they have live music. They didn't have music when we were there but D did talk to the manager about playing there. On the advise of our waitress, we ordered their onion rings. They came out piping hot and were very good. We chose the meat lovers pizza which came overflowing with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and salami. I have to admit it was one of the best pizzas I have had. The crust was perfect, sauce had a sweet bite to it, and the toppings were all fresh. I'm so glad we stopped into this small but friendly tavern. ”
