Lakeshore Grillworks

My wife and I just had lunch there. The BBQ pork sandwich and the brisket sandwich were amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! The people there was awesome too.

Thanks, Tom D for your great review of this place, it encouraged us to give it a try!
So we were at EBC West for a late lunch/​early dinner, and we wanted some ice cream. I saw Tom’s review of this place, and so we decided to come over to check it out.
This is one of those classic roadside shack type places. They have everything from burgers to dogs to BBQ, and of course the ice cream. Lee decided to go for a Hawaiian sundae, and I went for the maple-​bacon BBQ sundae. I was a little too chicken, and opted to not have the BBQ sauce on it, but had it on the side.
Portions are generous for the price, and they are using standard Turkey Hill Ice Cream, but they have a creative mind for sundaes. Lee really enjoyed his, and I found that dipping the ice cream into the vinegar-​based BBQ sauce actually worked.
One of my favorite things about the décor of the place, which is pretty much outdoors only seating, was their planter boxes. They are filled with a beautiful assortment of flowers, but also, functional garden items. I saw tomatoes and basil growing in amongst the flowers. Very nice touch!
We didnt’ try the savory options, but if we were to be in the area again, I’d definitely give it a try.

Parm fries are exceptional!

For what this place is — I have to give it 5 stars because you can’t go higher then that, but in my book it’s a TEN!
There are a few things that set this place apart from the rest. For starters — the staff are OFF THE CHART in friendliness — it doesn’t get better then this! Even the owner/​cook came out to talk to us!
Another great feature is that they smoke everything on location in their own smoker with wood right from the apple tree out front!
Pricing seemed in par with everyone else, but the flavor of our Bacon cheddar cheese burger was incredible. Followed up by what I assume are fresh cut sweet potato fries with a special BBQ smoked dipping sauce. Amazingly good! But, I can’t just give the sweet fries a go without tasting some curl fries with malt vinegar — mmm mmm good!
There is plenty of parking and seating — plenty of variety and in fact — this place is so good it is my goal to try everything on the menu before they close for the season, which I believe is around November — my birthday month!
As an added surprise — the day we stopped was National Ice Cream day — so we also got a free small cone — we asked for extra small because we were already stuffed. We tried the chocolate peanut butter and the firecracker, both were superb, but that cinnamon was out of this world — from the first taste to the last and in a sugar cone besides!
Look — if you have time — this place should go on your list for summer time stops. If you are in the area — this place should become a regular place –it’s THAT good!
Let’s see who the next Unilocaler will be to check this place out. It’s a challenge and it’s on — you cannot miss it — one Lake Shore Drive — better known as route 5 before you get into Dunkirk — great drive and you won’t be disappointed. And let’s encourage the owner to become active in Unilocal too!
