text: The inlaws discovered this place a few years ago Back then it really was a hidden gem Although the entire plaza has always looked old and ghetto The food was not outstanding but it was good enough and you had no reason to complain about the prices Sadly over the years and more recently I feel like the quality of their food has gone downhillnnI have ordered a variety of food here but nothing really stands out The fried shrimp has never let me down But then again fried shrimp pretty much tastes the same everywhere I do like the sweet potato tots and they do give you a generous portion of them The clam chowder that I had once was tasty and my husband said that the fish and chips was good here Some of the things I did not like was the chicken parmesan which was very bland and the grilled wild salmon The salmon was alright but the rice pilaf was horrible and the mixed veggies were dry nnService is usually friendly and attentive although there were a few times that we waited long to be seated and to order In my experience both the service and food are bad on Friday nights They have a bar side which is open hours and the dining room side which is open daily from am to pm nnSo the Lakes Lounge is definitely affordable and gives you big portions but they need to work on the quality and taste of their food I do not think I will be back anytime soon Honestly you will be better off going to Dennys and ordering from their value menu
