Best burgers they have!

Great outdoor venue on a beautiful fall day. Spring salad and brisket toasted ravioli were very good. Was hoping for Sugarfire BBQ sauce instead of the commercial brand. Also ran out of Pilsner at about 2pm

Absolutely basic food. Fried mushroom, French fries and bbq chicken sandwich could not even make it to the standard bar. Similar to the typical food you get an amusement park. The lake view isn’t that great either. Just the fact that it is located in the heart of the Forest park makes you pay a premium price on everything.
