Our business had Lakeside Charlie's cater a meeting and the meal was Delicious and the server, Char, was friendly and very efficient. Arrived early, served hot and on time, all supplies were there, menu was what was ordered, and clean up was thorough. Will definitely request again.

You can either have "the best dinner/service or "the Worst. We have eaten there 6 times and I'd say 3 to 3... But when it was a "bad night, it was really bad. Seems when "owner is not around on a weekend...Better off not going in...But "how do you know?" It's NOT cheap, so I expect more in terms of... More

First off, I like Lakeside Charlies, it is a relaxing place not too noisy, usually, and it has good food. But that's part of the rub the food is good but not great, the prices are a bit on the high side for the caliber of the cuisine. Their rolls are very good but not worth the premium price tag... More

My wife and I have been here several times and the food is always great. Depending on which area of the restaurant your in you may have a beautiful view of Lake Mitchel, but even if you don't you will have a wonderful meal.

Stopped in for dinner on a ski trip to Caberfae. Had a great half-rack of ribs. Food and service was great and the ambience is great. Would recommend to everyone.

My wife and I have had several meals here and they always taste great and the service top notch. I would recommend anyone who wants a warm atmosphere and good food to stop by and grab a bit.

I normally wouldn't write a second review of a restaurant we've dined at, especially one that is local for us, but .. a location that was once a favorite continues to slip more and more to mediocrity, or worse. While the facility itself is very nice, the quality of the food seems to get worse and worse, regardless of what... More

While in Cadillac for a conference, we needed dinner on our last night in town. Spotted an ad for Lakeside Charlie's. Thought a spot on the lake would be interesting. A little hard to find on a gloomy evening and a little unsure about what we would find when we went indoors, but what a delightful surprise! Charmed by the... More
