We had the best time here. For apps we ordered the brown butter brussel sprouts, guacamole and chips and no cheese Mac and cheese. The guacamole was the best I've ever had. For dinner we had the burger, blackened catfish and soft shelled poboy sandwich. Everything was delicious but I have to give props to our server. He was simply the best.

Love this location of the Grand Lake Kitchen! So spacious, pretty, and the staff is so nice! Every dish was delicious. We particularly liked the chickpea stew, matzah ball soup, lox plate, and chicken breast dinner.

I am a member of the Laundy club and there is always a problem with them finding my account! Even with the card. The food is good, but smaller portions and we are not sure if the value is there anymore

We were celebrating a birthday, and everything was amazing — the food was delicious, and the customer service was exceptional. They even sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday girl! Although the restaurant closed at 8:00 PM, we stayed until 10:20, just talking and laughing. The staff never rushed us out; instead, they continued to check in to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. It was a wonderful experience!
