Whitmore Lake Tavern

Been to the Whitmore Lake Tavern many times. Enjoy The wait staff and lake view. My only complaint has been the quality of food. Prices are going up but unfortunately the consistency factor of getting a good meal each time you visit is running on the downside. The fish dinner in particular is an embarrassing presentation in the fact that it is touted as one of the restaurants signature meals. My last experience proved to be a chewy/grisley over fried adventure at best. The portions are small. This restaurant has a lot going for it on several fronts. The food factor is lacking.  Sometimes you have to step back and take a painful look at your kitchen capabilities and make some hard decisions.  Now, despite my opinion, the one plate that this establishment has consistently excelled in would be their ribs. A+ in my book. If all of their meals were on the same par, Whitmore lake would have to build an airport to keep up with the traffic flow to the tavern!

Ordered the jalapeño catfish and thought it was great. My side was squash which also tasted wonderful. Only complaint was too much liquid on the squash which ran all over the plate and made the fish breaking soggy. Easily rectified by tilting the plate but, certainly something that could be improved. Always a good time here.

This our local favorite. Great service, consistently good food and fair prices.
