| - The food here was just average. We ordered the fried chicken, fish tacos, prime dip Philly style and fried calamari. It wasn't bad, but just not that great; again just average.
The fried chicken batter wasn't very good and was too oily and the meat was a bit dry, especially the white meat. The coleslaw side was pretty good but the portion way too small for 4 pieces of chicken.
The prime dip was pretty good but the meat portion was neither big nor small; sort of on the unsatisfying side though. The fries it came with were the giant cut, out of a plastic bag variety.
The fish tacos were nicely presented but bland as sliced bread. The side of salsa it came with was paltry and barely enough for one taco.
The calamari was good but maybe because it was the appetizer and we were all hungry, and the portion seemed fair. The marinara was typical but the pesto sauce was salty.
For $40 including the tip, you can't complain too much about the price. But, our server was lukewarm, the ambiance funeral home quiet, and at the hour we went, 6pm, it was mostly elderly folks.
There's a lot out there where 40 bucks can buy 3 people a very tasty meal in a lively if not interesting setting. At Lakes Lounge, the most interesting thing were the Sunday night football games on the multiple flat-screens and the locals hanging out at the bar playing video poker.
Unless you like a serving of suburban Vegas boredom cum mild depression with your average American meal, you can skip this place.
