If you love to eat by a lake and the rustle of trees, this is the place. The burgers are tasty with local grass fed beef, yummy! Service is fast and friendly as well. Be sure to sit outside on the patio for a great view of the water. Even the drive to the restaurant is scenic!

First things first, I LOVE local food! The meat they serve comes from local farmers and is absolutely delicious. I’m not usually a burger person, but this burger is one of the best I’ve ever tried. They also offer the option to purchase their meat directly at the restaurant, which we did because local businesses must be supported! Stuff is very friendly everyone was so helpful!
Highly recommend it!

This place is a hidden treasure!
Had a burger, wings, and watched a band play with the beautiful scenery in the background.
Food was amazing, service was awesome, and will 100% be back for more!

Stopped for a snack and a couple beers. The wings were excellent crisp and moist. The beer was a very reasonable price with stuff was attentive and informed. Bonus, the outdoor seating area is dog friendly too.

Stopped in for Mother’s Day Brunch and it was delicious. Staff were friendly and options were tasty. Cute little cafe that’s great for a bite to eat before or after fishing. Lots of space to eat and outdoor seating. Alcoholic options and nice menu. The Mother’s Day options were delicious and presentation was perfect. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

Very casual, vacation atmosphere. The cheese curds alone are worth the trip. The view over the lake is wonderful. The menu is a bit limited, but everything I’ve tried has been of the highest quality.

We love this place! The owners are amazing! They bring in the meat from their local farm. All the food is amazing. Do not miss the ice cream or great beer prices! Check out boondocks bait shop next door for bait, fish licenses, sunglasses, shirts and sweatshirts, tackle, beer and more. ( Literally always the best worms around)

We love to eat here when we visit the lake, they have indoor and also outdoor seating, both with a lakeside view. The food is pretty awesome, the family raises the beef they use, which is grassfed, and their smash burgers are really good! I personally love their salads, the ranch is extra tasty and the lettuce and veggies are always super fresh. They also have ice cream for after dinner Even if you aren’t spending thr day at the lake, you should come try this place! They also have live music during the summer sometimes….

Super cute place! We were looking for a place for lunch and decided to go by water because it was a nice day. The place is welcoming, we were greeted by staff as soon as we walked in. We ordered hotdogs and burgers, all tasty.

Pokanoka’s restaurant is an absolute gem for me and my motorcycle group. As a family-owned establishment, they consistently deliver delicious food and boast a friendly staff who go the extra mile to bring your meal right to your table outside. Whenever my friends and I embark on our Shabanam lake rides, we never miss the opportunity to indulge in a delightful lunch at this fantastic restaurant.
