Lake Road Inn

Picture speaks for itself. Nice bar area though. Might be a good idea to chug a few down before ordering. Never seen nearly white-colored "steak" in my life.

If I came here again, it would be to drink. Otherwise, buckle up because you'll be in for a tight one.

Waitress was good, but the quality of food is that of a nursing home. Stay clear.

1st time at Lake Road inn. It was Sunday Feb 4th. My wife and I walked in and immediately liked the vacation like atmosphere. Sit down at the bar where they had very friendly staff working ordered appetizers which were very good and drinks were very reasonable. We continued over to the slot machine area, which could've been a lot cleaner. We played for a little bit and had a few more drinks before heading out. I would recommend this place to friends and family for sure.

Stick to the Friday fish fry. It's pretty decent.

We've been a few times now to give this place a fair shake. Beers are cold, selection is ordinary.

We came on a weeknight recently. There were 4 people at the bar, a table for two and two of us. The only front of house was the bartender who was also server and we sat 15 minutes waiting for menus. Wings were tough, pizza was God awful. Supposedly homemade - doubtful.

I read on FB today that earlier this year, LRI invested $250k here in improvements. If this is actually true, they got seriously ripped off. The chairs are saggy, lumpy, uncomfortable. The place is in dive territory.

I've been wanting to try this place since last year. Went there for lunch today, there where three of us.
One waitress and she had several tables outs down a couple inside. Husband ordered the catfish which we where told would take longer, not a problem it's a beautiful day. I ordered the the chicken bacon ranch sandwich very dry I couldn't eat but a little of it, and the tots where deep fried and over cooked.
The catfish was just ok. No reason to return seeing as they allowed smokers on the patio.

As an out of town-er, Lake Road Inn is a must stop each time we visit Bloomington.

Friday Fish Frys are fantastic!

This is a chill, fun place to hang out, have a few drinks, grab a bite and enjoy yourself.

This bar/restaurant feels like it is the middle of nowhere, yet it's deceptively close to many small towns like El Paso and actually about 6 minutes off I55 too.

Unfortunately, the service here has gotten horrible. Long waits for a waitress to acknowledge one upon arrival. Then prepare for another long wait to get that first round of drinks to be delivered to the table. If you're patient they will take a food order, and hats when it really gets SLOW! 45 minutes to an hour wait.

We're not coming back except if they have a special event or band. The restaurant at El Paso Golf Club is 5 minutes away and has become our new hangout for the Summer!

We tried the Lake Road Inn for the first time this summer and boy were we missing out. My husband is a huge fan of wings and he said "their wings are the best." He likes "hot" and I always get the parmesan. They are cooked perfect. My son loves the bacon cheeseburger. The brisket chili, fries, and cheese curds are all really good. We are looking forward to trying more of the items on their menu. Great job Craig and Crew!

Their large pizza is tiny (or they have us the wrong size... which wouldn't surprise me.)
It used to be nice when you could order by amount of wings, not weight. Now they will short you on wings... 7 itty bitty wings does not (usually) a pound make. . The cook there, is a piece of work too, a real people person (Not being at all sarcastic.) I would no longer recommend it.

I liked the patio in the back of this place. We had lunch here on Father's Day and it was a nice visit with decent, basic food and beer selections. I felt like we got away from the city and had been on a little lake outing. Actually, we'd just come from riding the bike trails at Comlara and were in need of refreshments. This place satisfied.

Stopped here for the all you can eat Walleye! First I have to say the service is great. Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. The fish was fresh and the batter was very tasty. The dinner came with fries, cole slaw, and and dinner roll. When you asked for more fish you got a whole plate full of fish. I also ordered some deep fried white cheddar cheese balls. Delicious!! The place could use some updates but it was cozy. The price was right for what you get. We will be returning.
