Lake Street Eats — Restaurant in Bridgman

I'm always on the lookout for local gems, and Lake Street Eats has recently jumped to the top of my list. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is casual yet charming, creating a comfortable space that makes you want to linger a little longer. The service was equally impressive – attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they were serving.

But let's get down to the real stars of the show: the chicken tenders and fries. Simply put, they were splendid. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked – juicy and tender on the inside with a satisfyingly crispy, golden-brown coating. They weren't greasy in the slightest, and the seasoning was spot-on, offering a delightful savory flavor that kept me coming back for more.

And the fries? Oh, the fries! These weren't your average limp and lifeless potato sticks. They were clearly fresh-cut, boasting a wonderful texture – crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They were seasoned just right with a touch of salt, allowing the natural flavor of the potato to shine through. Honestly, this was a pairing done right, a classic done exceptionally well.

Beyond the exceptional chicken tenders and fries, the overall experience at Lake Street Eats was fantastic. The staff were quick to offer recommendations and ensure everything was to our liking. The restaurant had a pleasant buzz without being overly loud, making it a great spot for a casual meal...

I've been here a couple of times now. What I love is they serve a full bar and menu all day. Lunch until 5:00 and then right into dinner. In my case, I had a very long hike on a winter's day at Warren Dunes and I wanted to sit somewhere to have a good meal and a cocktail or two while warming up post hike. It was already near 2:00 and I was worried I wouldn't find anything outside of fast food after 2:00 until dinner. This fit the bill!

I didn't want anything super heavy so I ordered the avocado salad and the lamb lollipop appetizer. It was a great combination with a glass of wine. I was a little disappointed they didn't have a dessert menu (they said they could get me a slice of banana bread or something which was nice), but I wanted dessert dessert, so I ordered a hot chocolate. With Whipped cream it ended up being perfect.

I sat at the bar since nobody else was at the bar and I wanted a little bit of quiet. It also felt closer to the windows (last time I sat outdoors). There was some kind of party in the other room, but it wasn't too loud.

I think the servers might have been distracted a bit by the private party. Otherwise, it was good despite a...

So me and my husband walked in yesterday to what seemed like a great atmosphere however, the Service definitely seemed rushed even though it took a while to get the food we ordered. We spent $70 on food and left a $10 tip even though we ordered to go, the steak was supposed to be a 20oz sirloin. It was extremely thin and overcooked the baked potato that was loaded was probably the best thing We received. The lobster bisque was old cold and taste spoiled so we didn’t get to eat it at all and the side salad that I ordered look like they took a couple leaves from the tree outside that were wilted definitely not $70 worth of food very upset with that. This was the first time I had ever ate there, and I was really disappointed. I will probably never eat here again since there is a restaurant right down from them that is half the price and way...
