I wish I knew the name of our server this evening. He has been our server other times as well. He is wonderful, he is always happy and he makes you feel like he knows you. I can't say enough good things about this gentleman. Overall we like the Lakes, the food is great, it's a great place.

First time eating here yesterday. I ordered the boneless wings. I've heard this place Is known for the chicken wings and pizza. Well the hype Is real about the chicken. I was very satisfied with them. Plenty of meat on them and I didn't feel like I was cheated In any kind of way. The pizza will be the next Item I try.
