“ There is no end to the awesomeness that is The Lighthouse! The food is absolutely fantastic! My personal favorite are the fried pickles and breaded tenderloin! My husband loves those fat, juicy burgers (FYI the "double" burgers stand about 4 inches tall). Sit on the screened in deck and enjoy a view of the Mighty Mississippi. Best way to get there? By BOAT, of course! But highway 22 is an acceptable route too! :-) Call ahead to find out about the specials, which range from a catfish dinner to prime rib! FYI - they are only open seasonally! ”
“ Good food, friendly staff, seating with a river view...what’s not to like?? There is plenty of seating, a stage for live music (I’m not sure if they have it though), a pool table, and video games. The food was quick and very tasty! They also have an amazing collection of beer cans! Definitely a hidden gem on the river! ”
“ Casual fair, fairly priced, laid back atmosphere on the Mississippi River! Good variety of food, including catfish fillets, calzones, burger baskets! Bar with beer and mixed drinks also available. ”
“ My parents Debbie and Steve Paulsen, my roommate Brian Burke and I did celebrate Matt's birthday party for dinner at 6:00 pm. ”
“ Food is always amazing here and we just love taking the family there on the weekends usually for lunch. The staff are nice and helpful. I gave the service 4 stars only because the last time we were there we waited forever for a couple small appetizers we ordered. We had actually finished our meal and had watched as multiple other meals, that were placed after our order, were severed before we got ours. This is not our typical expirence though and most of the time they are 5 stars all around. We will still go and I encourage anyone who wants to try a place they haven't been and wants great food to stop here and eat. ”
“ Takeout pork tenderloin sandwiches and waffle fries. In less then 10 mins! Good food, affordable and friendly staff! First time here! It's fantastic ”
“ Don't let the disposable plate fool you. Nor the fact you have to pick up your meal at the counter. And order it there. Just as good as a place with table service. Look out on the main channel of the Mississippi. The ribeye was done well. Not a crazy amount of onion rings. And the cole slaw ... delicioso! Will be back! Don't know how we missed this venue in the past. P.S.: Love the urinal humor. ”
“ Love the atmosphere,foods great drinks are cold and the Mississippi is stones throw away with docking capability. ”
