Had a great experience. The food was good. We had pasta with shrimp, Wellington steak, onion soup and deep fried calamary. Everything were done perfectly and skilfully. The only concern were carrots. They were a little bit on a hard side, so I wish they were cooked longer to make them softer. The service (forgot the name of our waiter) was very attentive and caring. So far one of the best service I've ever had. Recommend this place.

Great quality food and very friendly staff. We were able to substitute the sides for any of the sides also. The steak was amazing and cooked to the exact temperature we wanted and was very flavorful and juicy. Very warm and inviting atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

Very warm and cozy feeling tavern. Has a nice wood lodge type feel with wood accents, dim lights, and multiple fireplaces. Also had two lounges with coughs if you want a more comfortable spot to socialize. The staff was very welcoming when I arrived. Let me know the specials of the day, and checked up on me in good intervals. The restaurant and bar itself has great daily food and drink specials along with happy hour specials that even run on the weekend! Thursday's daily drink special is 50% off cans, bottles, and bombers. Also, I haven't try it yet, but Mondays beer and a burger for 15 will definitely have me visit again.

We love county line tavern. This place was a nice and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy drinks and a variety of bites to eat. Our favorite was the Reuben- to die for! Grilled chicken taco salad was filled with delicious dark greens and fresh avocado. The patio looking over the lake is beautiful and serene. Can’t wait to go back.

Excellent atmosphere, don’t skip live music nights! Great drinks and food. Pretzels & chicken skewers at happy hour were perfect. Nashville HOT chicken was amazing! Those cheddar biscuits are magical. Brussels were fab too!

I came here thinking I was hungry enough to crush an appetizer and an entree by myself, but the short rib poutine (which was amazingly delicious) was big enough to put me out... so I had dessert instead. Their beer list had some real winners and my server's suggestions were all perfect. Will definitely come back next time I am in the neighborhood!

Came for lunch, was definitely worth it. There weren't a lot of people, but the service and food were still amazing. I have to be gluten free and onion free, so I got the Adam salmon salad. Unfortunately when it first came out, it had wontons in it, but they took it back right away and brought out a new salad immediately. The chef, manager, and server were so kind about everything. I highly suggest checking it out!
