Stopped to get sandwiches and fries. Menu was limited as an outside auto event was going on. We ordered 2 different sandwiches. Meat was minimal, barely warm, dried out. At $14 a sandwich, we expected more. I ate 2 bites and was done. We were told food was cooked by a chef which i highly doubted. We complained repeatedly, yet no one came to talk to us. We wanted to order a beer, and were told all of the beer taps were out of order. Waitress was great. She said she was unable to communicate with anyone in the kitchen as no one spoke english. Inside looks like it is in need of a good cleaning. Bathrooms were nasty. Will NEVER return or recommend.

They customized Veggie option for us which was not in the menu at all. Glad we got food that day. I appreciate the help of bar tender for the special customized food. They delivered to the lake side. Friendly service. Great Views. Tasty Food. Everything upto the mark.

Best burger and fries we have had. They call them truffle fries. Super attentive waiter and beautiful atmosphere! Best to make reservations.

Great place on the lake. Outdoor seating suggested. Everyone is is very friendly and helpful . Service is slow. Expect nearly 2 hours for dinner. But worth food is excellent. Take your time and enjoy..

Very disappointed to have been treated so poorly. We have been coming for years and we’ll never go back. It was completely empty on a Friday night and horribly smokey from cooking the staff were doing for each other. We had drinks and were offered shots, which we did not ask for. When it was time to pay, the owner randomly plugged a bunch of drinks into the computer. The bill was gigantic and not accurate. When I tried to say we were overcharged he said he’d call the police on me. I had no problem with that and explained the police might but like that the bartender and his cook were wasted (cook/manager passed out in a chair nearby). I was just trying to make it right and was called the B word and told to leave and never come back. Rather than have a fair bill we paid nothing, hence the one star.

We had an awesome dinner at The Cottonwood Social. The drinks, food, and dessert were all delicious - and the service was wonderful! One of the best dining views you can get in Wisconsin!

The food that we got (hummus plate and salad) was really good! I was disappointed, though, that the online menu didn’t match the menu in restaurant. As a vegetarian, I was really counting on the mushroom flatbread being available and it was not so we skipped entrees and stuck to appetizers. Good service, though, and they were running a 25 cent beer deal!

As a frequent Elkhart Lake visitor we were very disappointed by our recent experience here. The food was not warm enough and very over priced. The fish fry looked and tasted like frozen fish you'd buy. They have great cocktails but beware of the food!
