Back when Great Lakes first opened, we were never really impressed with the food or service. I have to say our last few visits with friends have put Great Lakes back on in our restaurant rotation. We were seated almost immediately as a party of 3 for dinner on Saturday around 5pm. We were shocked. Being craft beer folks, we were happy to discover the brew pub exclusives only available there, which is also nice after tiring of their standard beers. The menu offerings made it really hard to decide, I landed with the pretzel chicken which was solid, tender & tasty. And now that Becca Ritterspach is creating their desserts, we will definitely be back! If you haven't been to Great Lakes in awhile, try it again. Very pleased with our experience!
