Lakeside And Grill - Peoria

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! We enjoy their delicious food and appreciate that they’re dog-friendly while always airing the games on TV. The atmosphere is lovely, and the patio is very comfortable. It's definitely one of our favorite places to visit!

In many establishments that attempt to create a vibrant atmosphere, you would typically find the owner or manager mingling with guests and promoting their restaurant. Unfortunately, Lakeside Bar and Grill fails to meet any of these expectations. The food was unappetizing, lacking quality, and the prices were rather steep. They could really benefit from a menu redesign—streamlining their extensive offerings and making better use of the ingredients they already have on hand. Moreover, many diners prefer not to taste seafood—particularly fish—in dishes where it's not included. The oil used for frying also seems to need changing. Additionally, the kitchen could use a lesson in spices and seasonings; I found everything I tried to be completely bland, with no discernible salt. To top it off, I was served a stale top bun that was practically inedible. For the obvious reasons, I won’t be returning, but I truly hope they can enhance their menu, as the restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere with potential.

This was my first time ordering from this place, and it coincided with the last Fish Friday of Lent. The ordering process was really simple. I opted to substitute onion rings for the slaw, and there were no issues with that. It was a great choice, as the onion rings were delicious! The fish dinner came with five generously sized pieces; the fish itself was fresh and juicy. I was quite full after eating just two and a half pieces. I'm not really a fan of French fries anymore, but these had good seasoning. Unfortunately, they were a bit cold since it was takeout, so they were just okay. Overall, I was very happy and satisfied with my meal, and I would definitely recommend this place for fish!

Great place to eat with family and friends. They have quite a bit of seating and plenty of TV?s if you want to see some Sports. The salsa they make in-house that comes with the chips is fantastic!! The menu has a good selection of appetizers and different burgers made with Angus beef. Our server, Marco was very friendly. They also have a cute little area you can buy gifts. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

You know those moments in life where you realize you're right where you're supposed to be? We had one of those moments by stumbling upon the Lakeside Bar and Grill last night! We finally got a night to celebrate and decided last minute to give this restaurant a try. We honestly had no idea what to expect but as we entered we were delighted to see a live band! We got the table closest to the band and had an unforgettable experience! Michael Nitro was there performing with his buddy Charly and he was so entertaining. It was basically a comedy show with good music and I recommend everyone to go see him. We also ordered the steak dinner and the Chipotle burger and both were so delicious! You can tell the chefs pride themselves on their work just by the way the food tastes. Our server Marco was also great even with us sitting right next to the music he was able to hear us and everything came out exactly how we ordered it. We loved our night and are so happy and thankful for the people who made it unforgettable! ?
