The Watershed Saloon

Reviewed By MinaHKerr

My husband and I try out many of the fish frys in SE Wisconsin and this is one of our top three favorites. The broiled cod was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The potato pancakes were crispy with a hint of sweetness. Loved the coleslaw too. And the applesauce was very smooth, not that "rough" texture cheaper brands seem to have. The service was very attentive (until it was time to get the check, but they were busy). This was our second visit for the fish fry; we will return!

Owl Tavern

Reviewed By OtherBeach

But friendly and welcoming staff is what I experienced in this old-school tavern in the rural Lake Geneva area. Chief complaint...and correct me if I am wrong is they dont serve draft beer, just bottles and cans. Other than that, atmosphere galore, but off the beaten path.

Lucke's Cantina

Reviewed By larryd6578

I felt compelled to order Mexican food since that seemed to be Lucke's specialty, even though it was tempting to order one of the Friday fish specials. I decided to go with the chimichanga. The menu states the burrito comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, while the chimichanga comes with just lettuce and tomatoes. But just to be safe I ordered it without cheese. It was really good, but about 2/3 of the way through I saw that it was filled with cheese. Oh well - I'm not allergic to the point that I go into shock. The beans and rice were good, as were the waffle fries that a friend offered me. The prices were good, and the decor was nice. And the service was good considering we were there right in the middle of the lunch rush. But next time I'll try the fish.

This used to be one of favorite places...not anymore. Waitress acted like she should couldn't wait to get rid of us. Rushing us through dinner, bringing entrees out when we were working on salads and brought cheese and crackers with the entrees. Ribs were tough. Then disappeared when we were ready to pay.

Pino's Last Call

Reviewed By momk2018

We had never been there before, went on a slow Tuesday night and almost walked out. No one seemed to notice that a group of 7 had walked in and was waiting to be seated - I finally had to go to the bar area to even be acknowledged and the bartender only had ONE customer!! There were 3 other tables of people eating, so we became #4. We seated ourselves and waited & waited & waited for a waitress. She did finally come by, dropped off menus and disappeared again! No smile, chit chat or drink orders exchanged! It seemed like all we did that night was wait and then wait some more!! The pizza was good, but we definitely couldn't recommend the meatballs - very chewy! And the second drink order came as we were finishing our meal!! We also had some older kids in our group who were excited about the game room during our marathon waiting time, but soon came back to the table to report how many of the machines were broken and out of order!! Maybe Pino's would be a good place for carryout pizza, but we are definitely not going back to dine in - it was our Last Call going there!!

We stopped here for lunch - we enjoyed walking the path from the Main Road. Very upscale restaurant - beautiful decor inside and we enjoyed browsing the gift shop and reading the signage on the walls after lunch. It was interesting to watch the boats on he water - since this was a Wednesday and some schools have started back, it was very quiet here today. I ordered a burger (Classic Burger Sandwich) and found it to be very good. We all enjoyed our lunches here and Brooke was a great server. Thank you!

Harpoon Willies

Reviewed By musiclover26

It's hard to believe that we've never been to Harpoon Willies in all the years we've been coming to this area. A friend recommended so we went for dinner before visiting the Belfry Theatre for a show.We ran into several people we know who also were dining pre-Belfry. I had a delicious mushroom/swiss burger and sweet potato fries and my spouse had a chicken sandwich and salad. All the food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We will definitely return again very soon and highly recommend it.

We had several meals here. At lunch the service was slow, much better at dinner. The food ( burgers, etc. ) was very good. The chairs inside were a wee to hard for me; if you need a softer seat ask for the small booths just to the left of the hostess stand. I also found the outdoor wooden chairs more comfortable than the indoor wooden chairs. Good variety on the menu.

Chuck's Tavern

Reviewed By andyw604

We visited at an off hour to grab a sandwich after driving up from Chicago. We were warmly welcomed. This is a place your order at the bar kind of place. I have found this format frustrating when places are very busy, but it was a nonissue due to the off hour. The sandwiches we ate were delicious and the prices seemed low, until we realized sides are extra. (Which I like if all I want is a sandwich). It has a fun view of the lake. Being an indoor, outdoor place the flies were annoying but the lake area seems full of them this year. One young employee was given a fly swatter and bottle of cleaner to decrease the population. Relax and eat here.

Reviewed By madcheddar

We live relatively close to Lake Geneva, and we are there a few times annually, however, we typically go to the north-east side of the lake, where the majority of the restaurants, shopping, etc. . . are located. A friend recommended Gordy's and we were pleasantly surprised. Gordy's has a nice lake view, some outdoor lounge chairs where you can have a drink while you wait for your table (and it's busy, so you might have a wait), and the area has a lively atmosphere, but not as crowded with tourists as the downtown area. We had a good meal with a nice view and discovered a part of the lake we had not visited.Thank you for your review!
