    The restaurant was cool the vibe was nice but the food was blah. For the price we paid it wasn't worth it. The pizza was on like a cracker crust. Not good. The steak was meh. I've had better at Applebees. Our waitress was wonderful. Probably the only thing that made it worth it was she was very nice. Oh and the wings were good. Wouldn't go back though.

    We dined on the covered patio and enjoyed a meal with good friends. The food was very good and you can’t beat the view. Lighthouse Landing and The Wake Club are a favorite for us!

    Seemed to be short staffed with new bartender .waited at the bar for 15-20 minutes with no order taken. Walked out . Bar was not Busy. We historically have really enjoyed the wake club and their food and service . Past two Times have been disappointing
    The Wake ClubResponded on April 28, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for your recent experiences at Wake Club — this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We’re especially disappointed to hear that your last two visits have not lived up to the positive experiences you've had in the past. We truly value your loyalty and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to show you the quality service and food you’ve come to expect from us. Please contact us directly at 270-362-8201 — we’d love the opportunity to make this right. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon.

    Chef Alex, once again, prepared an outstanding entree composed of scallops adorned with sugar snap peas, butternut squash purée, and fried risotto medallions. Abbey provided excellent service. The entire staff was very professional and friendly. Plus, we had pleasure of dining with a gorgeous view of Kentucky lake. We will definitely return!

We’re delighted you enjoyed Chef Alex’s scallop entrée with sugar snap peas, butternut squash purée, and fried risotto medallions—it’s one of our favorites, too! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Abbey and the rest of our team. We’re so glad the stunning view of Kentucky Lake added to your dining experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable meal. See you soon!

    We love the Wake Club. It was a very busy St Patrick’s weekend dining time. Unfortunately they ran out of the corn beef and cabbage.
