The White Lake Inn — Restaurant in White Lake Charter Township

Last night my family met at The White Lake Inn to enjoy a night out together and celebrate some birthdays. The staff was VERY nice but unfortunately the service was VERY poor. We arrived at 7 and were seated around 8 which is somewhat reasonable given our large party. 24 people is A LOT! Shortsightedly they provided us only one waitress when two would have been better. They pushed a few picnic tables together outside but there still wasn't enough room for all of us and three were left standing. For quite a while they refused to bring us an add-on table which seemed silly! Eventually they did and we were comfortable. The bar functions well and the drinks were flowing, but the kitchen not so much. First off they were out of quite a few menu choices including fish and chips. My husband was forced to get his third choice!! Next we ordered at around 8: 15 and the food didn't arrive till after dark. The pizza others had ordered was good but my hamburger was terrible. Several of the plates were miss prepared but most sucked it up because they had been ready to leave an hour already. I want to stress that everyone was very nice and for the most part very accommodating... For example they kept ice cream and a birthday cake in their freezer for us and provided us with paper plates and utensils....But it would seem the capabilities of the restaurant simply don't...

Really didn't want to give them a bad review based on this experience but everyone woke up feel ill after eating here for dinner.

We arrived pretty late in the evening and were seated right away. Lots of open tables.

I ordered cheese bread as an appetizer. It took over 40 minutes to come to out, after my husband mentioned to the waitress that it was taking a while. The waitress mentioned that they were backed up on tickets. Asked for no pizza sauce and ranch. Got pizza sauce and no ranch.

It also took a while for our order to be taken. We ordered 2 pizzas. Those were taking equally as long to the point where we were worried about the sun going down and getting our boat out of the water. Ended up asking for the pizzas to go and asking for the bill. The waitress dropped off the 2 pizza boxes and took my card for the bill. I looked in the box to ensure the order was correct, and of course, one of the pizzas was 100% wrong and not even close to what we ordered. We ended up not taking the pizza and asked for them to take it off the bill.

There 1.5 hours, $45 + later...and only 1 pizza, cheese bread, and drinks...100% not worth it.

Later in the evening and in the morning after eating, everyone in our family felt sick. Very...

Mine, along with another family decided to stop here for dinner after a local event. The instant smell of a dirty bar was a surprise but decided to stay anyway. We all agreed the table in the middle of the dinning room with lake view would be nice, but was told that server was just sat and our choice of the dingy corner table by the dartboard or the hallway table across from the bathrooms with the draft from the front door was the only option. So unfortunately we poorly made the decision to stay and order a drink and dinner anyways only to see the next people walk in stroll right over the nice lake view table we wanted. Seriously! Like what the F$&@! Our drinks sat on the table empty waiting for the waitress to come by, our food came only for us to get up and get our own silverware otherwise who knows how long we would’ve sat there without silverware. The food was overpriced and mediocre at best! The potato tasted like it’s been reheated, the vegetables seem like mixed frozen vegetables reheated by Chef Mike #microwave. Good luck maybe you’ll have a better experience definitely...
