“ What a great place to eat. Food was delicious. Service was great, our waitress was on top of everything. She was amazing. Atmosphere was great. ”
“ The food there is absolutely fantastic! My son did order something that he did not like and the waitress took it off our bill and had a burger and fries made to go for him!!! Could not ask for better service! ”
“ Had lunch at Lure while in Alexandria for a visit. Nice location with views of a lake where you can sit either inside or at outdoor patio. Inside is very open and modern looking. Bar in middle of restaurant is surrounded by a number of flat screen TVs to watch various sporting events. We started things off with the tater totchos which everyone enjoyed. Combination of tots drizzled with queso and topped with bacon, onion and jalapenos. Definitely a little kick to start off the meal. We then had entrees ranging from fish and chips to the Buoy burger to the foot long Le Homme hot dog. Six walleye fingers with the fish and chips which were very good. For the Buoy burger it was your basic quarter pounder with cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions that was very tasty and filling. Finally the Le Homme dog was every bit of a grilled beef hot dog on a very large bun topped with chilli, home made mustard sauce, caramelized onions, cheese, bacon and peppers. According to our host he really liked the flavor and obviously the portion. His toughest task was to find a way to tackle eating this gigantic hot dog. All meals came with home made fries that were about the same as most places that have fries. Nothing overwhelming but complimentary to the entrees. Would recommend trying out Lure when up in the Alexandria area during your trip up to the lakes. ”
“ The food was good, and we were so glad they were able to seat our party of 6 and 2 dogs on the patio. Food was good and the service was great. ”
“ We enjoyed everything. We had: crab cakes, calamari, fish and chips, cobb salad, walleye sandwich, etc. Staff were friendly. Would be a great summer spot to check out as they have outdoor seating that overlooks the water. ”
“ Late lunch on a windy cold day, clam chowder - nice thick and full of claims. Partner had the lobster roll nice, not a ton of mayo. Nice a light let the lobster be the star. ”
“ I really owed them a review from three years ago when we made our first visit. We've gone for lunch both times we've been here. We can recommend the Cobb Salad, the fish tacos, and the walleye hoagie. The food was excellent each time. Service was attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere and lakeview. We had a nice, relaxing lunch. Again. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. This one is added to our list of favorites. ”
“ For a nice place like this one. I was disappointed with the half pound shrimp. They should be using 16/20 count.. my perceived value was not met. The oysters could be larger but was delicious. Atmosphere is first rate. Abbi our server attentive and knowledgeable. Abbi got a table of 20 and got in the weeds and her existing tables lacked an attentive server. Thank goodness Lilly came in from in back to assist her with her tables. And we enjoyed the rest of our supper. . As in all it was a great meal. We come in often and will continue to do so. ”
