But there’s more to this place than just great food. The building housing Max’s Lakeside has a rich history, once known as The Tea Room and later as Louie’s on the Lake. When the property went up for sale, local resident David Marvin, founder of Legacy Ventures, saw an opportunity to preserve its legacy. Extensive renovations were carried out, maintaining the building’s historical charm while adding modern amenities like a wrap-around porch, central heating and air, and additional parking. And if that’s not enough, just below Max’s Lakeside is The Swing Bar, an open-air oasis where you can swing your worries away and relax with friends in a magical setting. This is more than just a restaurant – it’s a place where history, community, and great food come together to create unforgettable moments.

Max’s Lakeside is open year-round and is available for private events.
