The Longshot

Happy hour drink prices looked good, but do NOT try the pizza. A cardboard box has more flavor. I cannot comment on any other food because this will be the last time we go there. It was that bad…

We have tried so hard to patron this place. We live close and really want to support local businesses. However this was our 5^th time and it’s always the same story: they are out of EVERYTHING. Every time we have been there we have ordered something and get the same story which is ‘we just ran out last night and our order wasn’t delivered today.’ Tonight we were the only ones eating at the restaurant. We ordered wings and asked to split it to try the 2 different sauces. They said they absolutely cannot do this. If they were busy I could understand but we were literally the only people eating. The chef was in the corner eating popcorn; he wasn’t busy. And to top it off my steak was well done instead of medium. The chef came out to talk to us about it we told him respectfully our experiences. No apologies, no discount, just a shoulder shrug.
The only redeeming quality out of all of our experiences was that the servers were always very nice and apologetic.
Do yourself a favor and go a quarter-​mile down the road to Sweet Melissa’s. Way better food! And apparently they get their deliveries on time.

This place is a good, local, newly-​remodeled bar and grill. We started with the chicken wings, which had great sauce. They pan fry them, so there’s no breading to «hold» the sauce to the wing. We were also there on a Wednesday, which is half price pizza night. Great thin crust and flavorful sauce. The best part was the server and the owner. Both were very friendly, and extremely attentive. You don’t find that often anymore! So, if you’re expecting white linen tablecloths and wine, go somewhere else. If you want a place that makes you feel welcome with reasonable prices, come here.

Have to say I don’t agree with some of theses post. What’s nice here the owners and staff care about you. As far as mot having what you order we have had no problem. I recommend this place if your looking to hang with fun people. They usually have a DJ or some kind of entertainment on the weekend.. We like it!

I’ve been there 4 times. 2 times they were out of Captain and Jack. Food is not very good (if they have what you want to order). Staff is nice though.

The «Longshot» here would be ordering something off the menu and them actually having it. A group of 8 of us tried this place out of the blue in mid January. We were seated rather promptly and had our drink orders filled quickly and that is where it all went wrong. After about 20 minutes they took our order only to inform us that they no longer had steak of any kind, mind you this was ¼ of their menu. We were then informed they had no tater tots or potato skins. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, about 20 minutes later I was using the rest room when the waitress returned and informed the table that they had run out of bacon and had to run to the store to get it. The unbelieveable part of this is that bacon is on nearly EVERYTHING they serve, if it’s a staple on your menu how in the world can you be out of it? If I had been there I would have said forget it just bring us the tab. We’re all about patroning local business as boaters, snowmobiliers, and bikers. This is one business I CAN NOT reccomend unless you want to use their video poker machines.
As a side note the place wasn’t busy that night, there was a total of about 10 people in the bar and a terrible keroke dj playing music way too loud for an empty bar.

I live close so I thought I would give it a shot. Big mistake!!! Walked into the place, fine, no big deal, it’s a bar. We seat ourselves, 2 servers walk by us without saying anything. We sit in front of a tv which also happens to be right in front of the kitchen door and server stand, so they see us, even the owner sees us. 5 minutes go by and we finally have a server come over who seemed like she could care less about work. We ordered wings and fried pickles, no big deal. After 3 – 5 minutes, our server comes back out if the kitchen to let us know they don’t have the pickles, they keep ordering them, but they never get delivered, so we ordered onion rings which she didn’t seem know they had, learn the menu. The wings were small, not worth the price by any means! The serves then stand by the server stand and talk about people in the party that was there, go in the kitchen and talk about them.
One of the owners did come by twice to check on us, so that was nice, other than that, won’t go back! I have worked in the industry for years, so I understand it gets crazy when it gets busy, but 2 tables plus a party in the dining room does not qualify as busy!

Went there with two of my friends for lunch the other day. The three of us sat at the bar and there was another couple across the bar from us. They appeared to have just finished eating. We waited what felt like 20 minutes and no one came to greet us, there was no one behind the bar and no signs of life… Needless to say, we left. I don’t have time to sit there and watch nothing happen. We went down the street to Buddy’s pizza and had a fantastic meal. You guys really need to step it up if you’re going to survive in Lakemoor.

New restaurant in Lakemoor? Sure, we’ll bite! Lakemoor’s so small, that anything new is a treat (most of the time). Heard their wings were pretty amazing, so I did try their traditional wings.
Delicious! The wings were huge, meaty and not breaded, which was great. The flavor of the sauce was awesome — not spicy, but had a nice zing to it.
Service was fast and friendly.
Was not impressed with the décor. I believe they just recycled the old décor from the previous failed restaurants in this building, and that just made it seem blah inside. There were some obvious improvements from the previous establishments, which was nice to see, but nothing that really stood out as exceptional, or stood out from any other sports bar in the area.
I, too, was disappointed to get disposable silverware/​cups. Since this is a very new opening, I am hoping that it will change in the future when they are more established. Personally, I think it cheapens the experience to get plastic forks and solo cups.
Other than those two trivial things, I would come back for the yummy food!
