Hard to believe this was the first time at Lindy's Landing! An iconic spot which I was informed by some regulars that it was rehabbed earlier. Great energy ( St Patrick's Day Weekend) Has a great vibe! Our Waitress, was a hoot and took our drink orders. Decided on a Cheeseburger with the works ( build your own, which we did). Have to say one of the best burgers I've had in some time! Appetizers consisted of: Chicken Nachos, Grilled Calamari, Bang Bang Shrimp, Rueben Egg Rolls (perfect for today...Right?) looking forward to returning with the whole family to Lindy's real soon! Mangia & Cheers!

Came here for the first time with my parents because they really like this place, and it did not disappoint.

I love all of the bars in Wauconda because there are so many waterfront ones; however, for ambiance, this one definitely beats the others. It's definitely one of a kind with having its own beach. Many young kids were playing with sand and building sandcastles near the water when we were there, and its cool that the restaurant has a closed off area in the water where customers are able to go in it. All of the picnic tables sit in sand, and there are cute, colorful chairs in some places not connected to those picnic tables.

The restaurant also has kayaks and canoes hanging up near the fence by the water, and there is a dock, too!

I did not try any food here because we ate before coming, but I ordered one of the tropical drinks from the bar called "Tipsy Mermaid". It's the blue drink and is made with rum, pineapple juice, blue curacao, and Sprite. It was amazing and definitely my type of drink. They also have other tropical drinks such as a frozen pina colada and frozen strawberry daiquiri.

We didn't have service come to a table because we took our drinks from the bar and sat at the colorful chairs, but the bartender was nice and explained to me what the tropical drinks all were when I asked.

Overall, I will be back, and I will try the food next time because everything looks awesome!

Loved the vibe and the food. Excellent tortilla soup and best carrot cake ever. And you can't beat it's location next to the lake.

Best thing about this place is the location and the view.
Ordered the Phila. Cheesesteak sandwich with slaw. Awful. this is what my $19.00 got me: about 2 oz. of crumbly beef rolled together with a little cheese, julienned peppers, onions, and some type of "big mac"-like sauce; all placed on a fluffy inconsequential bun which quickly fell apart. Food/value quotient is about a 1. At $19.00, it better be the best Phila. Cheesesteak sandwich I've ever had. This sandwich is a TOTAL failure.
The slaw was all very very sweet and just wet.
No one at our table of 6 was asked at any time if we wanted drink refills; as a mater of fact, nor did that happen at any of the other tables within our sight range. Must be a cheap place.
Aside from the view and location, this place has nothing for me.

A wanna be yacht club . Tourist avoid!! Beware you won't get a drink with an Out of state ID-avoid!! They will ask you for your passport... like everyone carries those around on a small trip to a little town in Illinois to visit friends/family??? Was just strange treatment for a group of 30 year olds .

Visited for the first time and had a great time! I had made reservations and had several seating options. Had i known how the seating was - i would have picked beach seating which is picnic tables on the beach. Thd are i selected was nice but was covered and it was a lovely day and i would have preferred to be in the sun. Food was good and the cheese curds were the best ever. GreT place, beautiful view of Bangs lake! I will be back!

Beautifully renovated restaurant next to the lake with reasonable prices, big portion sizes, and nice presentation. This is a good option if you want to have a more classy, but still casual meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The interior looks like a Viking Cruise Line Ocean Ship, with lots of nice pieces of art and different objects to add to the feeling of being inside a dock themed restaurant. The service was also friendly and fairly quick as well.

I tried a few items on this trip. The rotisserie chicken was nice and crisp on the outside with fairly tender meat within. It wasn't really marinated much, with much of the flavor coming from the hickory wood smokiness of the chicken skin which worked surprisingly well. The mashed potatoes were quite creamy and flavorful while the green beans had a nice crisp to them. The bacon jam burger was fantastic, cooked to a nice juicy medium level. The combination of the bacon jam, white cheddar, and garlic bun created an intense savory flavor that gave it an addictive quality without being overpowering. The fluffy bun along with the crisp lettuce and firm tomato all created a nice bite with clear textural contrast between the different elements. I also enjoyed the sweet potato tots which were semi-soft with a light crisp. It had more sweetness than I was expecting and a good level of fullness to each bite without feeling too earthy. The cookie skillet was alright for me, I feel the cookie may have been too molten and when combined with ice cream, syrup, and whipped cream - may have resulted in just feeling overall a bit mushy. With that said, the flavor was still good, but I would've preferred the cookie to be a bit more firm in relation to the other elements.

Overall I enjoyed my food and my visit here and would return again. On my visit however, my party and several others were not able to get a table since we did not have a reservation. During the course of the evening I did observe a good number of tables that were vacant for long periods of time and wonder if everyone could have been accommodated if seating had been managed differently.

We love coming here during summer time and it's a kids and pets friendly spot. Our kids love coming and enjoying the food and beach at the same time.

MAKE RESERVATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my biggest recommendation for Lindy's Landing. They haven't figured out how to efficiently seat people and this will save you a lot of frustration. We met a friend for dinner and didn't know that we needed to make reservations. We arrived at 6:00 on a Saturday in February. Since we didn't have reservations we were told that we would have to wait almost two hours to get a table. Instead we were shown to a lounge area. This is a great place to have drinks but this is not setup to serve food in. We noticed that everyone else in this lounge area had food. The tables are too low and small to get more that one plate on a table. The chairs were were low to the ground and very uncomfortable. There was a very loud group of eight that was seated next to us. It made it difficult to hear the people at my own table. But the worst thing of all was that whenever I went to the bar or bathroom, I could see multiple open tables, while I felt like I was seated at the kiddie table. This room was not well lit and was very cold. There were two space heaters, which were mostly for show as they didn't heat the room at all.

The food at Lindy's Landing was amazing. I had a bacon jam burger (8 oz. Angus beef patty, lettuce, tomato, bacon jam, white cheddar cheese, garlic mayo, classic bun), while my husband had the half rotisserie chicken (Seasoned hickory smoked half chicken, mashed potato, seasonal vegetable). The burger came out juicy and cooked medium, exactly as I asked. The burger had a wonderful taste but I feel that their are too many flavors on this burger. The garlic mayo was too flavorful and I couldn't taste the bacon jam, which should have been the star of the entre. I upgraded to the sweet potato tots for a side. This was a wonderful sweet treat cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy and the skin had a crispiness to it. I wish that the chicken had been seasoned a little more. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans as a side. The mashed potatoes also could have used some more seasoning. The green beans were crisp and warm.

For dessert. we wanted to try the cookie skillet . The skillet they served us was beyond too hot and was actually dangerous. I tried to hold the plate so that my cookie wouldn't slide around and burned my thumb on the skillet. I now have a blister on my thumb from this experience. The cookie was very thin but the generous amounts of ice cream and whipped cream and chocolate syrup made up for this.

Lindy's Landing is located on Bang's Lake and is really meant to be enjoyed during the summer. They have their own marina and seating triples when outdoor dining is available. Lindy's Landing is newly redecorated and the ambiance and atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting.

The experience was annoying and uncomfortable and dangerous despite the food being fantastic. I highly recommend the food, just not the restaurant.
