  Perhaps I shouldn't mention this but I have to because it is the thing that made Bayside so freaking awesome I just wanted to scream. They let us bring our dog on the deck so he wouldn't die from heat stroke in the car. And then...THEN...they brought us a bowl of water for him. The food was just fine and our server was attentive and friendly but the dog thing made me love them forever.

  Good food & drink. Good service and friendly atmosphere. I recommend the Cajun Burrito and Thursday night trivia contest.

  I really, really wanted to like this place as my family has had a camp on the lake since 1870 and I always support the local business if I can. But here? The food got in the way.  One of the two stars I give is for the view of the bay ... which is awesome.  Another star was for our waiter ... who was also awesome.  The food ... was terrible.  No, really terrible.  It tasted like sadness.
  
  We started with nachos which was just a bag of generic corn chips on a plate with some processed cheese food melted (barely) on them and then a little bland salsa spooned on.  YoungerSon and I both got the cheesesteak based on the recommendation of another viewer.  We were asked if we wanted peppers and onions (which we did) but it was quite the hunt to find them.  And the "steak" wasn't up to SteakUm's quality. You may think I'm harsh but they charge $10.50 for this really sub-par sandwich.  For almost $11, I expect a lot more.  OlderSon had the ham and asparagus melt which, while light years better than the cheesesteak, was also not worth $11.  
  
  So ... I'd actually encourage anyone to come in for a beer and the view.  Again, the waiter we had was great. Very attentive and super-friendly.  Plus, based on the tons of sound equipment located throughout the restaurant, I imagine their nighttime music experience is pretty good too. So, avoid the food and you're experience should be great.

  Best kept secret in all of St. Albans!
  
  Stopped in here just yesterday for lunch.  Had their restaurant special - Philly Cheesesteak sndwch and it was awesome, and what a great location...right across the street is St. Albans Bay - Lake Champlain, and with the water level so high, you can practically put your toes in the water from the restaurant...that's how close you are to the lake.  Service and people were extremely nice.
  
  Disregard google maps notice saying they're "permanently closed".  This is not the case.  They are definitely open for business and I intend on returning again, soon!  Especially on a warm summer day, sitting on the deck overlooking the bay.

  Where everybody knows your nnaaammmmeee!  Coming here is just classic. I love the BBQ the best. The jalapeno poppers need some love. Definitely different. They usually have something really good on special too.
