Lakeview Grille — Restaurant in Bristol Township

On Good Friday after church we planned to go to Burnt Barrel. Unfortunately there was a long wait and we weren't feeling it, so we decided to cruise by Lakeview just in case it was less busy. We lucked out, people were leaving as we pulled in. This was only the second time I'd been there, but the first time was for an event, and I didn't eat. The atmosphere is nice, it's not super loud and tables are far enough apart that you don't feel like others are encroaching into your space. Our waitress was fantastic, I wish I had caught her name, I'm usually good about that, but it had been a long day...anyway, she was funny and engaging, and had a great personality. I stared at the menu...so many great options...I decided I'd go with a burger. I love a good burger! But I'm also very picky about them, I enjoy the taste of meat, I like it pretty rare and I do not like it over seasoned. I ordered it medium rare with American cheese, lettuce, onion and mayo. It came bedded on a brioche bun...They're truly the best with their soft, delicious sweetness. I have to say this burger was in my top 5 for sure, if it's consistent it could be in my top 2. It came cooked perfectly, when I say medium rare I'm knowing that it'll still cook a bit once plated and it'll end up in front of me a perfect medium leaning rare and that's exactly what I got. The texture and taste of the meat was exactly what I'm looking for, with no obvious taste of seasoning, but instead a perfectly cooked quality burger. I can't wait to go back, I'd like to try some other things, but that burger was so good that I don't know if I'll be able...

First, let me say we really like this place. Have been going there off and on for several years. Food, service and cleanliness of the facility always are excellent. The people are always friendly and welcoming and the overall value is excellent. Sooo… why 4 stars instead of 5? My wife and I were there yesterday for an early dinner. We have been doing “off times “dining to avoid crowds due to COVID concerns. It just so happened that there was a wedding reception in progress - actually just getting started as we soon figured out. People kept arriving, many WITHOUT MASKS. After a short time people began wandering out of their designated event room to the bar, the bathrooms, the parking lot, all thru the main restaurant. Many without masks. The management was kind enough to move us out of the main traffic area but people were walking pretty much everywhere – again – many without masks. We noticed a number of new arrivals (all for the party) arrive maskless and nothing was said to them by the people at the front desk. We decided to leave without eating. Much to their credit, management did not charge us for the bread or wine we consumed while deciding whether to stay or leave for safety sake. It shows they are a reputable organization, and I know restaurants are really struggling with the advent of this virus but I must wonder how many people were put at risk. There had to be at least 40 – 50 people in that room with a good number wandering all around the restaurant. We sure want them to succeed but at what cost? At least...

FOOD CHEF DOES NOT HAVE ANY PASSION, FLATBREAD HAD A 1LB OF MOZZARALA ON IT BREAD SOGGY, IN ITALY THEY WOULD LAUGH AT THIS, IF I WENT TO WALMART AND PURCHASED A FROSEN FLAT BREAD THERE IS MORE PASSION AND TASTE IN THIS PURCHASE,UNFORTUNATLEY THE PEOPLE THAT GO THERE NO NO BETTER AND THIER TASTE BUDS LIKE THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW GOOD FOOD. IT IS A GREEK OWN RESTRAUST AND BEING MARRIED TO GREEK THEY THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND DO NOT TAKE SUGGESTION IF GIVEN ONE. I HAD THE PORK CHOPS DECENT BUT THE VEGTABLES WHERE COLD AND THEY PRE MAKE ALL VEGATABLES NOT COOKED PER ORDER. MY FRIEND HAD THE SNAPPER AND SHE LIKED IT AND SHE IS PICKER THAN ME.
