Happy Moose Bar & Grill

Visiting from NC and enjoyed the food. I had a burger and it was as ordered, fresh roll and decent fries. Everyone in our group was pleased. We sat outside and it was nice. Service was good and always someone walking around taking dishes and checking in on you.

The two words I can think to describe this place are «generic» and «forgettable»
I had arrived with a group of friends and were sat down at decent pace with decent waiting as well, by the process of elimination you can tell that the issue is the food at this point.
I had ordered 6 dry rub wings and sliders and my friend had ordered wings. The dry rub was generic to the point of boredom and the sliders where so bland that I only ate 1.5 of the the 3 sliders; the only flavor I got from them was the one pickle slice. My friend ordered hot wings, the issue is that they were over cooked and drenched in hot sauce to the point were he could not finish.
Even when writing this review I’ve grown tired and bored, I guess the only thing to do there is drink at the bar otherwise don’t bother.

Decent beer selection, pretty good variety of bar food. Good place to watch sports games.
This last visit I made a terrible mistake ordering the Tsunami burger. Oy. Wth was I thinking? I was looking for a Hawaiian type burger with pineapple but obviously didn’t read all that was on it. There were pieces of steak ON the burger. I thought it was a steak burger when I read «steak» in the description. Also, they put fries on it — pourquoi? And an egg — which I had them leave off because there’s a time and place for egg on burger and that was not it. Anywhoo, too much stuff going on and so unnecessary and a waste.
I’ve had wings, wraps and salads before, so I know food is not that terrible. Next time I’m sticking to something less stupid.
Service — waitresses have usually been nice, but some of the bartenders are not the friendliest bunch, but whatevs.

Three stars because I have had good and bad experiences here. Never really had an issue with the food, but being seated by the side door in the middle of winter was not a good idea. When we asked the hostess about the location and the door with the smokers, she stated that the door isn’t even open.
We sat there for about 5 minutes with people wandering in and out of that door along with the December air and their smoke trails before we asked to move.
Our next location was by the bathrooms in a location where they were moving tables for a big crowd coming in. Lots of fun … I guess she showed us who’s boss, lol

Ugh.
One star is for the server who was great, the second star is for my beer which was also great. The food gets zero stars. Go to Arby’s across the parking lot instead.

Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful and our food came out quickly. The best thing we tried was the celery and blue cheese dressing. THAT WAS THE BEST!
Sadly, the wings were salty and lacking in flavor. I ordered the Bigfoot burger. It was «big» that’s about it. My fiancé had a Southwest Chicken Wrap which was a bit above average. Oh, and our drinks were very weak. So weak in fact that I forgot we had them.
If you are interested in less then mediocre bar food, this is the place for you.

Not a bad spot to watch sports. TV’s easy to see from all over, especially the bar. Food is good, nothing mind blowing. Portion sizes are impressive. There’s a decent patio. When we were there, there were about six young ladies (employees) all standing around talking, must have been a slow night. The service was decent once I got their attention. I like the fresh cut fries. Beer selection was good.

Heard from a friend of mine that the tequila is good here. Came up here a couple hundred times to confirm. tequila still good

I think if I tagged myself there on Facebook the hostess would of noticed me… We walked out

Great place to come for a drink the bartenders are super sweet and the food is phenomenal. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely love happy moose. It’s like cheers with the staff. They love our kids and treat us like family. Food is amazing and service is great. Pat and the staff are the best

Very good bar food, excellent service and the bartenders and servers are efficient and easy on the eyes. If you like wings, this is one of the best places in Lake County and I believe Wednesday is a wing night.

The service is terribly slow! We visited on a weekday and the bar was empty. The waitress took our order quickly but it took a long time for it to arrive. We ordered the wing sampler. Most of the wings were overlooked and dry. Would not recommend!

I had to write a review after our experience. We had a party of 8 on a Saturday night so maybe that was our first mistake. Now, I never go to a bar and grill expecting to be wowed or treated like royalty but this was kind of ridiculous. We were seated pretty quickly. Once our whole party had arrived, everyone ordered and received drinks in a good amount of time. I thought it would be a good experience. But then we waited and waited… and waited. We finally saw our server… taking an order for a table who got there after us, getting drinks for said table, and running back and forth in the kitchen like his hair was on fire. He finally came out of the kitchen to flirt with the bartender while she made drinks for another of his tables. I made eye contact with him several times. I think our whole table was staring at him actually. He looked directly at us and then turned on his heel and fast walked into the kitchen. Maybe we looked menacing? All I know is we had been there for 45 minutes, most of us had empty drinks, and we still hadn’t ordered food. My husband finally got the hostess and told her we were just waiting to place our order. So our server, Mike, finally came over with a little tiny chip on his shoulder and efficiently wrote down everything we wanted. Then as he walked away he said «I’m Mike if you guys need anything» with just the slightest bit of attitude. Well, buddy, if we could get you to come to our table, we’d certainly rather deal with you than the hostess.
The food came out. Everything was ok I guess. My zucchini planks were sitting in oil. That was bad presentation and it also would’ve made them soggy if I hadn’t gotten them off the plate and set them on another. Use a paper towel or something, people!
My husbands «medium» burger was quite well done and dry. He didn’t eat it but our server was so inattentive he didn’t want to deal with asking for a new one or getting it taken off the bill. I ordered the Tsunami burger with a veggie patty instead of a regular burger patty. I thought that the teriyaki steak listed was just the kind of burger patty they used but apparently there are little chunks of teriyaki steak ON the burger. Oops. But if you were the server or the cook in the kitchen and you saw that someone was ordering a veggie patty, wouldn’t you ask if the customer actually wants the little pieces of steak on her burger as well? Maybe double check. Just a little customer service. All in all, it was memorable for the fact that we had such awful service and such ho-​hum food. It was REALLY hard to keep our drinks full on top of everything else. This server could’ve made some money on us. We’ve all been in the service industry and we get how challenging it can be so we’re good tippers. It’s a shame. I really wanted to like this place. I’ll still give it another try but I’ll be asking to stay out of Mike’s section. I was jealous of all the other customer who seemed to be getting much better service.

place was clean staff was pleasant but the manger not so good he was content on sitting at the bar and trying to pick up on the blond. now the food we ordered bone in and boneless wings they were good and a nice size how ever the pretzel sticks gross I use to love them but they changed something they are a must not to have. I will be back becase of the wings

Went on a Tuesday evening. Too many kids, boneless wings weren’t bad but I could’ve done a better presentation.

Tasty drink menu and great burgers, but the wings were just so-​so and the service was lacking. We had to stand up front for a number of minutes before someone finally came over to seat us, then our waitress never gave us a drink menu and came to take our order before we even opened our menus. She wasn’t very attentive and seemed scattered during the rest of our visit. We’ll probably give the place another shot since the food was good and give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just a bad day for the workers…

I remember when this place was voted best bar food in lake county, when it was called Cleats. But now, I have to say, the ownership has made it even better. Lots of the same wing sauces and better burgers.
A+

Good service and good food!

Sliders are tasty, no frozen patties here. All handmade! Try you won’t be disappointed. Staff is friendly, environment is welcoming and the music is a great mix to satisfy all. Definitely will be back soon!
