The Lakes Bar & Grille - Commerce Township: Popular Local Spot for Quality American Fare

We have dined here several times and it has always been very good food, service, and drinks. I would call it a better than average restaurant offering different selections from burgers, fresh fish, baby back ribs, and fillet mignon. Good selection of wine, craft beer, whiskey, bourbon, and vodka. About 25 tables and a nice bar area in the center of the restaurant that seats around 20.

An unassuming restaurant in the middle of a strip mall with great service and delicious food. We just happened to be in the neighborhood looking for a place to eat and decided to try this. Everybody was very pleased with their food. It's clearly a popular place with the locals. I would definitely go back again.

The best crispy French fries around. The parmasan chicken sandwich was good, enjoyed the flavorful sauce. The chicken was a bit burnt on one side, I wasn't able to finish it. The bun is on a large side, thicker than necessary. The service was great, a place where the locals are known. The atmosphere is noisy. There are booths in the bar but there is very little room between people. I could barely hear the conversation at our table with all the surrounding noise.

The staff were very friendly. We came without a reservation and they still managed to seat us quickly and the place was packed. The food was delicious, generous portions, and nice atmosphere. I would drive the hour and thirty minutes to come back.

Saw an ad for this restaurant and decided to take hubby for a post-Valentine's Day dinner. I was a little skeptical, at first, because it sits in a strip mall right in between 2 other businesses. But it did not disappoint! From the popping atmosphere to the very wonderful server, Adelle, everything was just great! Everything she suggested was spot on! We started with crabcakes and southwest chicken spring rolls. Hubby's NY strip steak was tender and mostly cooked to his satisfaction, said veggies were perfectly seasoned, MI Cherry side salad was just right, and paired with his microbrew & wine, he was good for the evening. This was the 1st time I've ever eaten the entire bowl of French Onion soup (it was soooooo good!), along with a full MI Cherry salad. Finished off with a chocolate/peanut butter something and creme brulee with fruit. They were just so good and perfectly portioned. The atmosphere was jumping, but very homey. You could tell several people were regulars. It was not a cheap date ($134 without tip, for 2). It was our 1st visit, but pretty sure it won't be our last.

The food was delicious and the restaurant was nice and cozy. Looking forward to the next visit

Love smaller places like this. Small menu is always key when going out. Had the Mahi-Mahi special, wife had the Ribeye and kids had burgers and chicken fingers. The Mahi was a special and was GREAT. Wife loved the Ribeye as well. We also Calamari we had as an appetizer and it was cooked to perfection. Sarah B was absolutely a GREAT server and you should ask for her table.
