The menu is exactly what you would expect for an American restaurant in a resort town: burgers, sandwiches and entrees (called “Social Specialties” here). Thus, you can’t really go wrong with any item you choose, but you won’t be blown away, either.<\/p>\n
One of the specialties is the crab-crusted salmon ($21). It is not a pretty sight, but underneath the blue crab, you’ll find salmon that is tender and flaky. The ensemble is coated with a lobster sauce that is thicker and less salty than a typical version.<\/p>\n
Among the burgers, the Wake Up Call ($13.99) sounded promising, as it’s topped with cheese, bacon and an egg inside two hash-brown waffles. However, I was disappointed our server didn’t warn us that the restaurant was out of waffles, so the sandwich came on buns along with tater tots. At least the burger was good.<\/p>\n

From the sandwich section, I ordered the Nashville hot chicken ($13.99), which had both a sweetness and a slow-burning kick to it. The sauce wasn’t smoky for Nashville hot, but I still liked it. The chicken itself was crispy and delicious.<\/p>\n
Other sandwiches include the prime rib sandwich and the turkey BLT.<\/p>\n
The appetizer list has some surprises with the crab-stuffed mushrooms ($12.99) and the ahi tuna poke ($12.99). I went with the traditional cheese curds ($9.99), which were okay. I didn’t like the breading because of their weird-beer flavor and because they were not as crispy as they could be. (The accompanying Social Sauce is awesome, though.)<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the corn chowder ($4.99) is creamy and hearty. The added slices of Nueske’s smoked bratwurst was a nice touch.<\/p>\n
Lake City Social also has specialty cocktails. I enjoyed the Daley Honey ($7) both for its name and its taste (it’s made with Jim Beam Honey). I also liked the Orange Blossom ($7.50), as the Absolut Mandarin, orange curacao, orange juice and Sprite made for a refreshing version of a screwdriver.<\/p>\n
Lake City Social is open every day for lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n
