Harborside Cafe in Lake Geneva

Nice place to stop for a few drinks.

View is nice but the food is not. We got there and asked if there was a wait and the girl was snappy and said its full inside unless you want to sit in the sun. Btw it was hardly full. Our waitress came (Sara) whom was really sweet. We ordered some cokes which tasted funny. We order pretty basic foods and we were waiting for 30 minutes before i finally went inside to tell them i wanted my things to go. They did apologize for the wait but seriously it was ridiculous for such simple meals which tasted like something from a freezer.wish I would have read the reviews before coming.

Horrible service and we sat down before 2 other tables and we were not even acknowledged so no service there which was very upsetting. I dont recommend at all. Don't waste your time.

people too soft these days, speedy burger tastes delicious 🍔🤤

By far the worst experience I’ve ever had, I ordered biscuits and gravy with two eggs over hard. I go the eggs and they were over Easy and I told the server who then took them off the bill, but instead of taking off the the three dollars it cost for the eggs she applied two extra sides of egg then discounted the extra eggs that we never even received so more like we just didn’t get the item comped like it was supposed to, and the other person with me for breakfast ordered a meal and a drink and I gave him my undercooked egged. So in total it was two small biscuits with a little gravy and his meal and a coke and ice tea and cost us 33.00 so about 17 dollars for the smallest portions and for undercooked food, will never be back here

Good food, nice view. Service was quick and Restaraunt was very clean. Would come back.

Waitress didn’t know what kind of whiskey they had and told me that they have a bartender for that. We waited 12 min when not busy for drink and then they didn’t have the beer I wanted and didn’t apologize either. Slow service. Old Fashioned was just okay and wife’s Margarita was very bland.

Was seated and forgot about lake Gevna seems to be having some problems...

Food was overpriced, not great, and the bathrooms had built up grime. Got the fish sandwich (actual size: one fish stick in a larger stale hoagie bun). Good luck taking your kid to the guys room, the size of a postage stamp and no changing table... an observation: the wood trim/walls were so poorly cut that no two boards lined up just right, kinda shows you they are not into quality...

Ate outside and enjoyed the people watching. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Had BBQ pork sandwich... it was messy but tasty! Reduced by a star only because I felt that the couple next to us waited way too long for their food. They had a different waitress though.n.

This place is hoppin on a Sun. Afternoon. Food is very good. Brisket sandwich is smoky and delicious on a nice soft roll. A little prices 15 for a burger but location is worth it. Would be 5 star but they said they would put the Cubs game on and never did even though I asked a 2nd time. Had lunch again at Speedo's and a nice experience. The outdoor seating is very comfortable. Service is good and they are dog friendly. Food is on the basic side but good, no compliments.

Other than the first drink taking a while bc the girl didnt know quite how to make it it was good. Pricing was not bad. A good place to stop in for a cool blended drink in summer.

They told us that we need to wait until 4pm for pizza. Then at 4:15pm they told us that the wait is to long because they did not have peperoni at the moment. When it came out, no peperoni. Burger tasted horrible, on store bought buns. The only good thing was the spotted cow beer, which I had to ask 3 separate times for a refill. Very overpriced. Usually I read reviews before sitting down, but for some weird reason I did not this time. Not making that mistake again.

Great food with an amazing view! Went with my 2 sisters and we all had different types of burgers. At one point we were all taking bites of each others food because, each one was just as awesome as the next. Our waitress was very sweet, knowledgeable and very accommodating!

Don’t order the gyro sandwich here. Did not resemble gyro meat and was reheated.

Looks like a neat place to grab food by the lake. But food wise. It was a disappointment. I would avoid and save your money and look elsewhere. Why ask me how I want my burger cooked and what toppings I would like if you can't even do that part. The buns were stale and for $8.50 for a single cheeseburger cooked dried, not worth it.

Horrible food, horrible service, over priced

Small space right across from the water. You can see the boats on the water from your table. Been here twice, no complaints either time. Friendly waitress.

Food was good, service is terrible! Waitress took forever to realize we sat down and took forever to take our order, deliver our food, didnt check up on us and didn't bother refilling our sodas which tasted like water anyways. One of the other waitresses took our bill to speed up the process but still took forever to get our card back. I went here once and that will be the last time.

Had a great experience. I feel sorry for those who don't and gave this spot a 1 star. Food was neat.

They claim they have certain beers on draft but end up pouring a canned beer into a glass and charging you for 16oz. Fish tastes like store bought frozen fish and the prices are way too high. Service was AWFUL, we had 3 different servers at the same time... Cleanliness was subpar, ketchup bottles and other condiments were not wiped down when cleaning the table and servers were pouring unfinished drink onto the ground and in the street instead of a sink. Watch the bill at the end because they charge you MORE than what is listed on the menu!

Ate there twice last week. -- Food was excellent and very friendly service. -- Their meatball sandwich is out of this world too!

Bathroom was so dirty. I was more afraid of bacteria from it than catching covid. Waited 20 minutes and was not even acknowledged by any of the servers. Several tables got seated and helped after we were sat. They were not even busy so it was incredibly disappointing not to be helped. Should have read the reviews before wasting my time.

Very friendly and great tasting food!

Personally, I don’t understand all the negativity with these reviews. Great food, friendly staff. Kendra is an amazing person!

We really like going here. On the waterfront. Dog friendly!

Just came to visit from Chicago. I needed a birthday drink. Pablo was amazing. The customer service is exceptional

Neat place set by shore of Lake Geneva. Staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were good. Had outside dining when weather is appropriate. Food was good too.

Absolutely terrible. Got seated and watched 3 other groups sit down after us. The two servers walked passed us multiple times to get to them and ignored us. Didn't even order. Walked out after we were passed up the third time. Can't imagine what the food is like if the staff is that cold.

Cheddar nuggets are unreal!

Our waitress Lexi was wonderful! However there were 4 unbussed tables while three employees sat at a back table I assume during their shift. It’s pretty hard to “seat yourself” when there are no clean tables. Probably a lack of management. Food was good though.

Outstanding service and great food!!

Server was rude, food was boring.. milkshakes tasted like ice was mixed with ice and flavoring.

I had the worst experience of my life with one of their Waitress, she was amazing in the beginning and then became super slow ignored everything I asked for or/and took forever to bring anything we asked for mayo from her and a different waitress and as I waited my food got cold, that’s how slow they were, plus there was this other waitress who was completely rude for no reason kept giving us dirty looks as I was sitting there I feel so discriminated against at the end we ask for the bill and they took literally 20 minutes to come and take the bill from us. Well waiting for her to take the bill, I went to go speak to the manager but the guy that was the hostess told me that there is no manager and the waiters are their own managers and with as much attitude as possible their food is 4/10 . Plus one of the cheese burgers wasn’t fully cooked. Worst place ever. I was honestly as patient as possible.

The fried walleye sandwich was delightful! Been a whole lot of years since I had walleye. Yum!

He called the cops on me for sending my food back, because he grabbed my burger and cheese and bacon with his BARE hands. He then explained to me that he did not need gloves. The owner/manager has some incredibly serious issues. The Heath department should get involved.

I'm worried about my family and friends during Covid 19. We didn't go here because when we arrive no one had masks. It's really disheartening.

It’s just gut filler food. It’s not a 5 star restaurant. It’s about Alcohol and good times.

After the long day at the lake, my other 14 family members and I were ready to have a filling lunch and so decided to eat here, which turned out to be a horrendous mistake. We came and was offered some questionable tasting water. The water had a weird aftertaste which really threw me off. After we ordered we waited for a good 20-30 minutes which was pretty ok considering it was quite a bit of people they had to cook for. But when the food arrived, I was more than disappointed. The food tasted mediocre and it seemed like the food was frozen beforehand and then recooked. We ordered 15 meals and only received 13 so we had to share, deciding to eat anyway since we couldn’t wait any longer as we were on a bit of a time crunch. Not forgetting to mention that one of the orders came without lettuce or tomatoes, which it should have. I thought the restaurant was pretty good....pretty good for a garbage can. Don’t bring your family to this place. I recommend any restaurant besides it.

Wow this place is a whole new level of weird. First of all there were 4 servers and 4 tables with people at them and my husband still had to go up and ask for his soda to be refilled. Then I got my nachos “supreme” the only thing supreme about these nachos was the amount of toilet paper I went through the rest of the day. Honestly I’d recommend Taco Bell over these sorry excuse for nachos. My stomach is still in knots and I’m not sure if I’ll ever recover.

Good Long Island. Nice place. Just stopped in for a drink. They have done a great job with social distancing the customers. Felt very safe indoors!

Friendly staff and attentive staff. If we had an issue with anything they fixed it with no fuss. My only complaint would be no pineapple for their teriyaki and mushroom burger.

My girlfriend and I came in here on a whim, and immediately we knew we’d love our server. His name is Austin! We sat on the patio facing the lake, took a couple shots, and shared a our entrees...a perfect cute, little Thursday early dinner :)

Is there 0 stars? Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. My daughter was served raw chicken and my salad was literally half rotten. After we complained the waitress noted, they had a problem with their fryer. Yet, you continued to attempt to use and serve customers food with it? Witnessed, three other customers with the same issue while we were leaving.

We come here a out once or twice a year when we visit Lake Geneva and the breakfasts are always great! The view out the window is great too, especially in the summer!

3-egg omelet was the BEST I had in very long time. Can't wait to go back!!!
