Michael SheehanJanuary 21, 2024If you need a place to kill time while in Lake Forest, it’s a great spot. Good food as well!Upvoted Dec 24, 2024
The Lantern usually has Three Floyd’s and Revolution Brewing Company beer on draft. Drink local and drink the good stuff.
Ricky ASeptember 6, 2017Portions are quite large. Want a light lunch? Too bad! ;) Mozzarella sticks are B-. Marinara sauce was not good, but the sticks are okay with Ranch Dressing- $1.50 drafts now. Great place for a meal or to kill some time while waiting for your train!
A lot of new things here. Popcorn machine, jukebox (touchtunes), games (megatouch)...
- Everybody is nuts when they drink at the best bar in lake fores
PooBear & FathedAugust 25, 2015Local & college hangout known for their burgers which aren't bad but aren't that great either. Nachos w/ chili average. Nice waiter.
Free burgers all day tomorrow while supplies last. 8oz burgers. Come and get 'em
The food is just so-so but the balloon lady on Sunday nights is phenomenal

Kinga SzymoniakMay 25, 2012Worst restaurant my family and I have been to in Lake County... Very slow service, cooks who cannot get a simple order correct and servers with no customer service and attitude...

"North Shore breakfast classic. The friendliest, most attentive staff, great coffee in cute mugs, and delicious, affordable food that comes out quickly. Love the Caps Supreme (off menu), skillets."
