Lake House On Pepin - Lake City

We've had great experiences at Kelly's in Red Wing, so we stopped off here when we were in Lake City. On a Sunday at 4pm, the place was pretty crowded inside; seats were offered offered on the patio, but as the temperature was in the 50s, I'm not sure if many were taking the offer. The TVs over the bar were showing the Packers game and bowling, which seemed quite regionally appropriate. Service was consistently slow throughout our visit. We had a tiny high top and it became increasingly crowded with dirty dishes and platters that weren't picked up as more things came out. My husband had a stack of signed receipts from previous customers that were sitting on the room divide inches away from him, and they weren't picked up until near the end of our visit. The food, however, was delicious. We started off with cheese curds. My husband ordered a beer and I had a cider. For our main dishes, I had the margherita flatbread while my husband had the Barge, what they call their all-meat pizza. Everything was excellent. My husband had a lot leftover, and when he asked for a take-out container, he was given a standard Styrofoam box. Not the best conveyance for pizza, as pieces had to be stacked, making the bottom layer steam and go soggy. I think we'd come here again based on the food and the nice vibe, but I hope the service issues are fixed soon.

Go to sit on the patio-maybe. These reviews must be fake. 5 people and $140 later and I couldn't be more disappointed. Nashville hot chicken sandwich-served as a flat dry tiny processed patty. No hot no sauce. It shouldn't be on the menu. Burger was ok. Nachos were small with barely any toppings. The smoked pork tasted good, but the portions are so small it was sad. So over rated, over priced, small portions. Slow service-probably due to not enough workers. Do better! Keep driving.....

The view of the lake is lovely, and the service is excellent. The food is delicious! The brisket grilled cheese was amazing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely come back!

The food was just okay overall, but the fries were disappointing. The broth lacked flavor, and the beef was also bland. On a positive note, the service was good.

It was such a pleasure to sit outside and enjoy the view of the eagles and the lake. I had a fantastic, massive walleye fillet, along with my all-time favorite Cuban sandwich!
