Our dinner from onion soup to wedge salad to filet mignon with loaded baked potato to salmon with Brussel sprouts was absolutely delicious. Our server, Kirsten, was so polite and so professional. A perfect evening with a delicious meal

The food and service was excellent. Our server took care of us so well as we weren't used to this. This was my first visit, and my wife had been here with friends from work. There is plenty of room for bigger groups and a good number of food choices.

A great stop after a visit to the Wilds. Rakes was a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. We will visit again if we are in the area.

First time at Rake's Place. It was super good. Nice clean restaurant with great service! We tried several things including the crab cakes (best I've had in a long time!), parmesan crusted chicken breast (so good - recommended by our server), brussel sprouts and zucchini squash sides. And the rolls they serve with the meals . . . They kind of look flat when they were brought to the table. But they were so fluffy and oh so good! Served with whipped butter and a cup with cinnamon sugar to dip it in it desired. Two thumbs up for sure! We'll be back!

Free standing building. Lots of available parking on site and across the street parking. Great food and spirits. Friendly staff and owner was fantastic! Highly recommend the frog legs... scrumptious, with a bottle of Red! A great to go place for family and friends to gather and enjoy a wonderful menu and full service bar. Outside seating available as well as inside dining. Bon appetite and Godspeed everyone!

Lovely food. Absolutely worth a visit on a regular basis. The crab cakes and walleye were delicious!

Went to Rake's Place yesterday with a couple of coworkers and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. It is a really cool place from the main dining area, to the wrap around bar room, to the outdoor seating with garage doors. All the decor is really cool as well. The whole place was really clean and just looked really sharp. The food was fantastic. Everything came out quick and was absolutely delicious. Beyond that the people were just awesome. Staff was very freindly and attentive. We met with Michelle at the end and she was awesome! It's easy to tell the culture in here is incredibly strong and everyone is very proud of the guest experience they deliver. Will be back even though it's far away!

Everything was spectacular my husband got the seafood platter and I got the Parmesan crusted chicken! Yummy we'll be back
