    I requested a booth in the main dining room. When we arrived I was told there was a private event scheduled for that room. We were directed to a side room. (1) should have been notified when I made the reservation that the room wasn’t available (2) Didn’t notice any private event. The food was very good as usual and our server was very good and friendly.

    We've visited the Bungalow Lakehouse more times than I can count, but this was our first what I would call formal sit down. Kelly took amazing care, the menu was robust and the prices were very moderate. The food was excellent. This is a multi-modal establishment having a huge sports bar area, a cigar bar area, an inside intimate bar area, and a formal sit down restaurant. I was very impressed.

    Your festive Thanksgiving Buffet was wonderful as always. We especially loved that it included Chicken Marsala this year. My family would be tickled if you would include a traditional turkey stuffing that's made from 'regular' bread as well as that made from cornbread. This is our third year dining at the Bungalow Lakehouse for Thanksgiving, and for the first time we had to wait in quite a long line at the carving station. Perhaps if we had reserved a table for a slightly later hour this wouldn't have happened, as our reservation was for four-thirty when you 'reopened' for evening diners? Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make such an experience possible for us and so many others.

    I go there for the fried pickles I think we got a batch that had been sitting there, they were cold and taste like the oil they were fried in. The entree, salmon was bland I will stick to sandwiches from now on.

    We had the fried pickles, regular fries, chicken po'boy sandwich, and southern crispy chicken salad. The food was great, but nothing too special or different than what we expected. The fried pickles were the best part! Service was simple and fast as we went for lunch so it wasn't too busy. Overall would definietly visit again.
