The Lake House - Hemphill

We have visited The Lake House multiple times and never been disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful and the service is friendly. The homemade bread and butter are exceptional. We will definitely be returning.

I wish I had taken a picture of the food! My family will definitely be back, already planning my birthday dinner here! It's just a short drive from Louisiana, over the Pendleton, for some top-quality, mouth-watering dishes! My husband and I shared the steak, which was cooked perfectly. The margarita was also delicious. This is a fantastic spot to visit when you're staying on Toledo Bend. I rate it a perfect 10/10.

I really enjoyed the ambiance at the restaurant. It was clean and our waitress was polite, although she only cleared our used glasses and dishes when we requested. Both my husband and friend ordered the Piero plate and the oysters were not good. Unfortunately, my husband got sick for the next 3 days. I opted for the shrimp scampi, but it was disappointing with too much oil and lacking in flavor.

Last night and eating was good! can't say the same about the hostess. we sat and never talked to her and I saw other people coming in and waiting for long time until they even knew they were there. she is the first impression of the restaurant and she did not seem like her job at all!

Tastefully decorated, easy going atmosphere. Varied menu. Complementary loaf of fresh bread was warm and soft. Varied selection of beers on tap.Table of 7. Meals all arrived together, were accurate and presented well. Crab cakes had a little kick and we couldn’t figure out if it was in the batter or dipping sauce. Steaks cooked as ordered. Southern green beans were perfectly bacon filled. Étouffée was delicious.Service was a little slow and used dishes were not collected from the table is the only reason it doesn’t get five stars.
