Shore House Bar & Grill in Illinois

"I had a gluten free grilled chicken garden salad with west creek buttermilk ranch dressing. Nothing was labeled on the menu and the employees weren’t quite sure what I could have but one manager helped me figure it out, and we looked up the dressing online. It was really good."

"Clinton Lake Finally Has Its Destination Spot! The new Shore House Bar & Grill is a game-changer for Clinton Lake. It’s not just a lakeside stop — it’s quickly becoming the reason to make the drive. With a beautiful setting, good food, well-made drinks, and genuinely friendly service, Shore House is exactly what this area has needed. Opening night had a few of the typical new-restaurant hiccups, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. It’s clear they’re working hard to get everything just right, and those early kinks will no doubt smooth out quickly. What stands out most is the atmosphere — welcoming, relaxed, and built to be enjoyed. Whether you're grabbing a meal after a day on the lake or meeting friends for drinks and a sunset, this place delivers. It’s only going to get better from here."

"2nd visit and service was on point, our chicken salad from the menu was expecting nice grilled chicken breast and it had shredded dark meat that was not very warm. A few of the staff had personal flannels over their work attire, don’t really need to see bare skin of their bellies. When using the men’s bathroom and washing your hands, if another man is using the urinal you get to see all his business."

"We had our work Christmas party at the Shore House Bar & Grill this week. I had reached out for a special dinner menu request and Drew immediately responded and said no problem. The food & drinks were AMAZING, The entire staff went above and beyond to make our party special. We will definitely be returning. This is such a great place and so happy we have it close by. It is currently closed for the season (except for special events) but once it gets back open, you absolutely need to come here."

"Place is gorgeous!!!! Drinks & food are delish. Portion sizes of drinks and food are very good. They had live music and when that was over they had surround sound outdoor music as well. PERFECT spot for great vibes on the lake. Big, beautiful patio with fabulous views of the marina, lake, and sunsets. Wonderful, hard-working staff and 10/10 atmosphere. It’s a must go. I can’t wait to go back!"

"A cute bar restaurant by the lake. The food is delicious and priced affordably. It was pretty busy on a Thursday’s night though!"

"Seemingly hidden within a very nondescript building with virtually no signage is this gem of a restaurant (as well as a shop geared towards supporting the boating community) on this popular and highly attractive lake. Even after seeing it on this app, I was questioning whether I was in the correct location and was hesitant to even go in the building. Was this some sort of prank? With so many private marinas in other locations, on other lakes, that make a point of dissuading non members from visiting, it took a little while but I finally decided to step inside. Best decision that I’ve made in some time! I ordered the shrimp tacos and was very impressed! The amount of ingredients and the way that the flavors came together was absolutely wonderful! (If I could offer one suggestion though… without changing anything about the ingredients (either type or quantity) it would have been much easier to eat if the tortillas were slightly bigger! The taco’s were so stuffed that those ingredients kept falling out of the tortillas as I attempted to eat them! Also… I anticipate happily returning for another visit but would also suggest that they may draw more customers if there was something on (or around) the building as to what awaited them inside!)"

"Very nice place, food was great but it's more of like "food truck" / "appetizer" food and for such a beautiful place I was expecting a real dinner menu....a steak and baked potato dinner would be nice for a place like this but it's a beautiful place."
