I wish there were options for half star ratings because 3 seems a bit generous. I'm a nostalgic person and wanted to take my daughter here for dinner because I vacationed in the Lakes Region when I was a kid and we at at Tamarack Restaurant often. However, I feel it's glory days are behind it. We both wanted seafood and got two fried seafood dinners. My daughter got fried clams and I got the scallops and clams combo. We both substituted onion rings for fries ($1.75 upcharge). The portions are decent. I got 4 scallops and a good protein of clams. It almost seemed like I got the same amount of clams on the combo as the full fried clams plate The clams were cooked well but it seemed like they were cooked because Tamarack had the product on hand and didn't want to take a loss on them. The clams on both plates were dirty and grimy. Yes, full belly clams will be sandy but these were a bit excessive and had noticable darks clumps of dirt on them. My daughter only ate half of hers. The overall cleanliness of the place is lacking Lot of trash in the picnic areas and tables were not very clean. It was $60 for the two fried dinners with onion rings substitutes and two drinks. Would I return again? Unlikely.

August 2021 Update: Disappointed in my first visit back to Tamarack this year. I ordered a Lobster Roll Basket...they took the order and incorrectly so I didn't get any fries, but wasn't charged for them either. I went up to the window to let them know, and was told I'd have to pay the dollar difference to make it a basket - OK. So I got the dollar, but then I was told I would have to get back in line! After already waiting 20 minutes for my order, they expected me too get back in a line, and wait probably another 30 minutes to get what I originally ordered. Terrible customer service. To add insult to injury, the lobster roll looks significantly smaller than in the past too, and my sister had a little bit of shell in hers. I saved up to go three times this week, but I think I'll save my money. A lifetime customer lost. 2020: My FAVORITE place to eat when I'm at the lake. My family and I went THREE times during our week there! I can't get enough of their lobster roll - it's delicious!!!

Ordered the Jumbo 7oz lobster rolls with onion rings, fried chicken and grilled cheese. The lobster meat was probably really 7oz, could get with Mayo or butter on the side. it was a ton of cold lobster meat. Onion rings were a huge let down. Went right at 5PM hoping to get hot and fresh items but the rings were not either hot or fresh. Window service only (the image of an indoor seating option is NOT actually available) but the service folks we spoke to were extremely kind and responsive. Good experience overall!
