Was Carlee Estelle at Lazy River Grill a mag?
This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Their food is excellent and they have the best house dressing! They have great specials, as well. Their walleye and basa fish dinners are signature dishes there and are delicious. Will 100% go again! So yummy! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback.

What Sam H dislikes about Lazy River Grill:
This was my second visit, and it was my first time at their sister location. The food was decent, but nothing stood out as particularly memorable. The staff was okay, but they didn’t come across as very welcoming. You can't go wrong with the Shore Dinner; it comes on a generous plate with all the sides included, making it a good value for the price. I'm not sure if I'll return, but I might consider it if I'm in a pin... View all feedback.

Didn't really appreciate the way one of the waiters came up and asked me and my date for drinks the way he did. He was very rude about it. I didn't get his name but he looked Hispanic. It was pretty much do you water more tea and water or not. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Crab Cakes

A local resident recommended The Lazy River Grill to us, and I'm so glad we took their advice. I ordered the Walleye and opted for chicken gumbo as a substitute side. My wife had the Basa platter, while my mom chose the grilled chicken breast. They use their own special batter blend for the fish, which was delicious. The chicken was incredibly tender—I could cut it with just a fork! My kids enjoyed the chicken strips, and they loved the scoop of ice cream that comes with each kids' meal.

The food at this restaurant is consistently comforting and delicious, with their incredible fries being a standout. The Shore Lunch has become a family favorite for dinner; if you haven't had the chance to try it yet, you definitely should! They also have an excellent weekday deal for kids, where meals are just $0.99 with the purchase of an adult meal. This charming local spot is beautifully decorated with a fishing theme, which my 4-year-old excitedly referred to as "Look at all the famous fishermen!" Every visit is a delightful experience.

We had lunch at this restaurant for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. My husband mentioned that the Bloody Mary wasn't the best, but overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return.

We dined here for the first time on Saturday night, and it definitely won’t be our last visit. Our server, Mark, was a delight—full of positive energy and provided exceptional customer service. The food was fantastic as well! We started with appetizers: mussels, coconut shrimp, fried onions, lobster Rangoon, and ravioli, and we savored every single bite! We even called our dad on his way home to invite him to join us. Highly recommend this place!

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! The Spinach Artichoke dip, salads, Walleye, and Ribeye were all outstanding and definitely must-tries. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. We also loved the decor. We will definitely be returning! Every minute spent there deserves a 5-star rating!

Our group of hikers stopped by for lunch after our hike in Castlewood State Park. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable for a Saturday afternoon. The customer service was excellent! Our waitress offered me samples of the chicken gumbo and the roasted red pepper and Gouda soup. I decided on the roasted red pepper soup and the shore dinner featuring basa fish. It was absolutely delicious! My taste buds were thrilled! I will definitely be returning!

Wow, this was our first visit to Lazy River, and it exceeded our expectations! I ordered the Walleye special, and it was incredible. The slaw was excellent too, and the cheese and crackers were out of this world! The drinks were fantastic as well! This place is definitely worth a visit!

It was Friday night and there were 3 of us and we did not have a reservation and Lazy River Grill was our third and final stop. We got in and it was nice and cool in there! (One of our first stops needs an HVAC visit ASAP! I used to live near here and I hadn't been in at least 14 years? It looks the same and the menu is the same but in a good way! My dinner dates ordered a salad, a Walleye special, and I got the Country Bacon Bleu Burger with Fries. I was hungry and tired and I have to say this was great! I like a charbroiled burger and I love bacon and blue cheese. I requested the fries crispy and that's how I got them. I love the spreadable cheese and crackers they put on the table. The service was great. I'll be back and I promise I won't wait so long!

I discovered this restaurant through Yelp and found it to be quite good. We were seated promptly. The decor has a definite fishing theme, and the overall ambiance was a bit on the darker side. I ordered the shore dinner, which featured a mild fish with a light, crispy coating, accompanied by a salad and green beans. The salad was fresh and well-prepared, complemented by a delicious house green goddess dressing that was full of flavor. It also came with a small container of cheese and crackers, and the cheese was so tasty that we ended up buying some to take home. My husband had the chicken club, which he rated a solid 4. He enjoyed all the ingredients, the meal was served hot, and everything arrived in a timely manner. Our waitress was friendly but tended to gaze off into the distance when I asked questions. Nevertheless, she was efficient, and the service was overall quite good. I would definitely consider returning if I’m in the area.

Finally got to try this place for the first time, can't believe I didn't get the fish but as great as the steak was I'm coming back to try the fish! I had a steak sandwich with added garlic cheese bread, my to go service was on time and still warm. Very pleased with this dinner. The inside is a nice restaurant, very humble waiting and dinning area with nice decorations throughout. The parking lot is large, has no problems finding a spot close. Looking forward to summer when we can sit on the patio, I read it might be dog friendly even. Thanks for the great meal!

Lovely evening to meet for late dinner! The grouper was fabulous and the cheese spread served with each dinner is a great touch Was disappointed no oranges to complete my cocktail request Seems standard bar ingredient for a cocktail on special Server was helpful

The food at this restaurant is consistently comforting and delicious, and they offer the best fries you'll find anywhere. The Shore Lunch has been a family favorite for years; if you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should! They also provide fantastic kids' specials throughout the week for just $0.99 when you purchase an adult meal. It's a lovely local gem, decorated with a "fishing theme" that my 4-year-old excitedly called "look at all the famous fishermen!" It does get quite crowded during Lent.

We tried a selection of appetizers, including clams, coconut shrimp, fried onions, lobster Rangoon, and ravioli, and each one was absolutely delicious! On our way home, we called our dad and urged him to join us there as soon as he could. I highly recommend this place!
