Lakeview Bar & Grill

I wanted to go out for st. Patrick’s Day to have corned beef and cabbage. I didn’t want to go to a Irish bar because I knew it would be crowded and I would probably have to wait. A friend recommended Lakeview so I thought, what the heck. The corned beef and cabbage was very good. Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was fun. I will definitely go back.

We had burgers, chicken wings and potato skins — they are seriously the BEST potato skin i have ever eaten. Prices are beyond reasonable, we are definitely going back.

Last month my husband and I stopped in at Lakeview and I had a delicious Tuna Melt, «Albacore» per the menu. I had been telling people about it and looking forward to my next visit ever since. Finally made it back tonight and something was not the same. Twice we asked if they were still using Albacore — between the waitress, the cook and the manager they did not provide us with an answer. Conclusion — NOT ALBACORE!

Good service, good strong drinks, older crowd, nice view of the lake but patio…

We were here a few months ago for a karaōke night with Mary and Center Stage Entertainment. Had a blast! Great drinks and good service. Nikki wSas tending and she’s awesome. Crowd was great! Did not eat but we hear food is good. Matter of fact we r heading there tonite for karaōke and fireworks! Looking forward to another great time. Love that karaōke host… she’s the best. You need to have her more often. Maybe we will see u there!

Go here for drinks only. Food was basic bar food but tasted like it was straight out of the microwave.

Quick and simple food in a very simple setting. HUGE portions on some of the dishes, like the chopped beef steak, and they serve 16 oz/​1lb steaks as well. The only knock is the parking, which is pretty cramped, and the décor, which is very sparse. It looks like just a floor with some tables. It just needs maybe a little character inside, but there’s plenty of character in the good simple food they serve.

Great service and great food/​drinks all for a great price! Only knock on the place would be the location. middle of nowhere which to me is a plus cause its within walking distance of me!

Great bar where you can enjoy great friends and good food. Walk in and meet some nice peeps. Good waitresses, reasonable prices and a nice view of Walled Lake. There’s always something going on there, whether it be live music or a dish to pass football game. A very fun place!

Hey, this place is what it is — a neighborhood bar. I’ve lived nearby for almost two years and came in to have a steak, a beer (okay two), and to catch the UM/​ND game. My neighbors have given the place a good review and I agree with their assessment.
The waitresses were friendly and fast, the beer was cold and cheap, the steak was the perfect kind of «medium», and the whole bill was great.
It’s a little bit of «everybody knows everybody» kinda place, but they treated me right. As long as you come in with no pretensions and just looking to have a cold drink and a good meal, you’ll be happy.

5 stars! Love the staff and the atmosphere! Just your neighborhood bar (: Very keno friendly and great food! I love their burgers! Cheap and delicious! Thumbs up!

They serve a decent trout here and the steak specials are usually pretty good. Service is decent, and the view is great especially in summer.

I love this lil place. We were surprised to find it not packed to the walls, the day after Thanksgiving, at 6:30 p.m. Great service and great food. It’s pub/​down home cooking. Hubs and I had the fish and chips and our son had the fried shrimp dinner. It was all served hot and great portions, at a fair price. The clam chowder was delish. A great place to hand and enjoy after a day at the mall.

Wonderful food, great price, lake view and great service! Will def be back alot!
The best hamburger I have ever had!

I love this bar! It has that small town feel… but is so close to the mall and other great shopping areas. The food and drinks are priced just right! The staff is SO nice! It’s one if the best kept secrets on Walled Lake!

Boy, this restaurant teeters between two and three stars. The view pushes it to three, but it could easily go to two.
The food is OK overall, but the salad I got had slimy cucumbers — yuck! On the plus side, the sweet potato fries are tasty. Everything else Hubby and I ordered was OK, but nothing memorable.

Great food, affordable, and the people are friendly. The trout came with almonds and redskin potatoes. All for just a little over $ 10.00!
The live bands are awesome!

This place is a lot of fun, but that is relative based on what you are looking for. They had a band and usually do on Saturday nights, and even though this place is not huge, always have a bunch of people (all ages) dancing and having a blast. Everyone has always been friendly to us, and we usually have no problem making friends with the others when there.
Now what is really funny is, another reviewer commented on the place being like a «bar»…its interesting to me because after all it is called Lakeview «Bar» & Grill… not Ruth’s Chris or Spago !
They don’t try to pretend they are something they are not.
That being said, this place has a pretty decent view of the lake, which is cool for a «bar». They serve good food that is prepared well. Their prices on food and beverage are very inexpensive, considering most places really tend to jack their prices up when a band is playing… not the case here.
The service is good and friendly, and for what they are and do, they do it right.
I have been and will certainly go back.

Consider this. Imagine a total dive, ghetto ass bar with a drop ceiling that at one point in time was white, but which is now so disgustingly discolored from smoke and covered in spiderwebs that you can’t stop looking up at it the whole time you are in the place. That’s the Lakeview Bar. Gross. But hey, the beer that the old, overweight, cranky waitress brings is cold.
I went in there again last night to play keno and have a beer and guess what? Someone decided they were really gonna class the place up. Yup! They had SPRAY PAINTED THE NASTY ASS CEILING BLACK. No new tiles needed here! Good thing I had on a suit jacket or I would have felt underdressed. If only they took reservations!

Ok– stumbled unto this place after mt. biking at Lakeshore Park on a Friday at lunch hour. Service is great, beer is cold and the grilled chicken breast was excellent.
However, while licking my wounds (really just bleeding out on the deck) from a serious tumble in the woods, a young lady approached from the rear. It took a moment for me to realize that she was in very, very skimpy lingerie. Apparently we had stumble into an hour long stripper wannabe show during lunch, which consisted of hot young girls modeling intimate apparel for the patrons and selling «raffle tickets.» There I was on the deck, over looking the lake with cars whizzing by trying to avoid a half naked girl scamming money off me by selling raffle tickets to win porn cds or a tee-​shirt.
About five minutes before the young lady appeared, I was saying «my wife would love this place» because of the nice view of the lake and good food. Well, needless to say, I will not be taking her there on a Friday.
This afternoon was right out of a Hunter S. Thompson novel… Fear and Loathing in Novi.
