Lake Effect And Grill - Copper Harbor

Stopped in for a quick bite with two friends. The place was empty except three people sitting at the bar. The inside was nice and we enjoyed the art on the walls. I ordered cheese curds and the chefs salad. The cheese curds were pretty good. The salad was just okay. I picked out quite a bit of wilted pieces of lettuce and they forgot to put croutons on there. My friends got chicken fingers and fries, which they said was very good. They also got beer and wine that they enjoyed. Service was friendly and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Prices were okay. The cheese curds were $8 and the salad was $15. The salad was definitely not worth that amount of money but the cheese curds were. Once we were getting ready to leave, lots of people started coming in. Bathrooms were clean. Overall, I would return but would avoid the salad!

Had the Ruben, it was one of the best we've had. Lots of tasty corned beef!! The bar tender Mike did a great job.

In a town with few options to eat and no mobile data at all to check on online reviews, we went to this place with low expectations. We just wanted some lunch warmth from the elements. We were told to sit at any available table and there were quite a few guests at the late lunch hour. Our server came by and took our order and was very polite and soft spoken to our kids. He got our kids' drink orders quick and was sweet enough to update us on our orders arrival. I had a Hot corned beef sandwich for my lunch. My son had the grilled cheese and my daughter had the mac and cheese. My husband went with the Fanny Hope BBQ. I really liked my rye bread and corned beef. Juicy beef and very filling lunch! My kids too filled up on the tasty food and my husband mentioned that his bbq was tasty. More than the food, the server left a lasting impression by virtue of his cordialness and that he checked on his guest regularly. He truly had a wonderful demeanor. He made our lunch memorable and we will definitely stop by Lake Effect next we are there. FYI : They close for winter after mid-October.

This was one of the only places open in the evening when we were in Copper Harbor, and it was an easy walk from the Minnetonka where we stayed, so it was an easy choice where to go. The food was good! We got a reuben and chicken tenders. There's a full bar, beer, wine... There's an outside area too that had dog water bowls out, so I think they allow dogs. I'd go back

Great atmosphere and the Reuben was so delicious! Bloody Mary was also fantastic and I highly recommend this establishment! The service was fast and very polite
