Take a trip down memory lane at TLC On The Lake. We tell our stories through our scratch-made food, hand-crafted signature cocktails, cold beer, and exceptional service.

Our Chef Bo Blair comes from a background of a private city club. The Chef prides himself on authentic scratch kitchen cooking. That means no canned foods, box foods, and he even fired Chef Microwave. Instead, we serve upscale comfort food with a twist. So, get ready to eat a 5-star menu without the 5-star price.

We have a bar, indoor dining, outdoor patio, and private dining available. Regardless if you looking for a night out on the town, a cold beer after a day boating on the lake, or a private party for 40+ people TLC on the Lake has you covered!

    Food was not good especially for the price. Service wasn’t that great either we had to ask for refills 3x before she got it.

    We asked if we could sit outside on Easter Sunday as their happened to be plenty of space outside....and they said they can't seat people 9 or more outside. Huh? We then waited 20 minutes after our drinks were brought to us for the server to take our order as we saw waiters/waitresses sitting around. The food was ok at best. We won't be back. Great view though! 👌

    Christina, I regret that we missed on your service and that you won't be back. Our patio design does not allow for large parties and is in high demand. For that reason we do not sit parties larger 6. This is posted on our website and on a prominent sign by the host stand.

    Our server, Brandon was amazing! Funny, personable and our food came out as we wanted. Great job! Steaks were perfectly cooked. Corn sides really tasty. Someone’s dessert awesome ! Fried foods very greasy. Coconut shrimp over done. Otherwise nice meal.

    It was okay the food wasn’t bad but they switched my boyfriend and i’s cooking temp. Meaning I asked for medium well but got medium rare and he asked for medium rare but got medium well. I was very upset by it because i like my food cooked a certain way but he enjoyed his meal. On the other hand, both of our fries were really yummy.

    The food was cold when it got to the table. The fish wasn’t cooked and we had to track down the waiter to fix it. They only took our order, dropped the food off, and never refilled drinks or checked on anything. We hate to even ask for a manager, but had to in this case. The manager was nice and understanding, but we had an never to get to and couldn’t wait for everything to be redone. It’s unlikely that we’ll try the restaurant again.

    I called and made a reservation for the same day. The food was great and the experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend TLC.

    Our family of 4 had an amazing experience at TLC. This was our first time there and we went for New Year’s Eve dinner. We sat in the dining room. Food tasted great and our server, Brandon, was phenomenal. He knew the menu like the back of his hand and helped us with any questions we had. He was tentative and had a welcoming aura. Would definitely love to come back and enjoy the patio overlooking the lake.
