Gatehouse Tavern - Falls Lake

A Lot to Like A Few Disappointments Gatehouse is a tavern the whole family can enjoy. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly; and the service comes with a smile. For beer lovers, there are over 30 draft options and over 40 bottles and cans of all the old reliables, plus many locally brewed craft specialities. It 's also a great place to hang out and watch your favorite teams on TV. Their promise is: If it 's on, we 'll find it. We started our evening with the House Nacho Tray $11 add Pork, Chicken or Chili for additional $6) and Fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds $12). The Nachos were some of the best we 've had; and were loaded with plenty of Queso, Sour Cream, Black Beans, Salsa, Scallions and Jalapeños. The Fried Cheese Curds were crunchy on the outside and warm and melty on the inside. The tangy Marinara Dipping Sauce was just right. The Double Bacon Smash Burger $17 with Fries, Chips, Pasta Salad or Green Salad) was everything you want in a big, juicy burger. The flavorful House Burger Sauce is the perfect finishing touch. For a real treat, try the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends with Pickled Jalapeños $17 Sandwich $20 Platter with Cole Slaw Potato Salad). Sandwiches are served on a fresh baked Brioche Bun. I also recommend the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich $16 including a side). The Steak was tender and tasty and covered with Peppers, Mushrooms, Onions and Provolone. The Hoagie Roll was the star perfection. My sandwich came with just a dribble of cheese; but a quick return to the kitchen solved the problem. The Potato Salad was a nice addition. The disappointments were the Tavern Chili $10 for a large bowl) and Fish and Chips $17). Even with the Cheese, Sour Cream, Scallions and Jalapeños, I found the chili to be bland and uninteresting. If you are a true Chili aficionado, I recommend getting your Chili fix somewhere else. The 'hand battered ' Fish was breaded not battered) and lacked that distinctive crunch you expect from properly prepared fish and chips. The two medium sized pieces of fish reminded me of the ones you find in the frozen food section of a local supermarket. Give Gatehouse a try; I 'm sure you will find some of your favorites on their wide ranging menu.

Never an issue with the food, but had exemplary service from Colby a few nights ago. They didn't have the cherry peppers for the flatbread I wanted and didn't tell me until after it was delivered : . Still 5/5 based on past experiences.

Just met a friend for dinner. Oh what a great place to meet an old friend. And the food was perfect. My shrimp were better than I get at home at the beach. Fried to a perfection, tasted fresh and like local caught. I will be coming back and bringing others. Our server saw to all our needs. Good of wines. Good prices; food and drinks about $40.

Friendly service. Okay selection for a bar more of a fun dive bar vibe inside if that’s what gets ya going

Our food was delicious! I had Philly Cheese Steak my wife had a patty melt. Both were perfectly done, the waitress was attentive but not overzealous. It was the second time we had gone there both times were excellent!
