What a great place and great food. Mark, you run a first class resturant. We can not begin to express how welcome you made us feel and it was great to have met you. The catfish and onion rings were the best I have ever had and believe me, that covers quite a few catfish! The next time we are in San Antonio we will stop again! Take care and God Bless!

I just wanted to say how much we enjoy eating at the Lakehouse. We were there last Friday (01/18/02) and EVERYTHING we had was delicious. My husband loves the battered catfish, and I enjoy the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak tastes just like the steak my grandma used to make.

We live outside of Pflugerville, which is about 20 miles northeast of Austin, so we're not able to come as often as we'd like so we treasure every moment that we're there. I know there was one Sunday to where we drove to Kerrville just so we could eat at the Lakehouse! I don't know if you would part with any recipes, but we really go crazy over the rice and pinto beans. Mind sharing any secrets?

The food served at the Lakehouse is the best! A lot of times when you go to a restaurant there may be one or two things that you really don't like, but here at the Lakehouse we can't find one thing to complain about. And the waitstaff are all so friendly. Keep up the GREAT work and we will be back as soon as we can.

Thank you so much for helping me obtain gift certificates for my parents, Ken and Julie Harris. What a nice way to celebrate Mother's Day.
Sue Lewis  TEXAS

Mark, great looking site...beautiful setting for your business! Hope to make it in someday!
Dean Coleman  Fellow BULLET Owner, TEXAS

I "grew up" in Kerrville and unfortunately get back to visit only every year or two. You were gracious enough to allow us to present my mother with a gift certificate via telephoned VISA card recently. She loves your place, and so do we......we ate there on our last visit. In fact, I swear that the second picture on your website, the silhouette shot, is my mother and her husband!! We plan to get them additional gift certificates for Christmas. Thanks for your help, and Merry Christmas!!

On Saturday 07/08/00 my husband (Skip) and I drove from Temple to Kerrville to eat at the LakeHouse. We ordered the Combo plate so we could sample the food. I'm here to tell you it was absolutely delicious. The service was the best and we met Mark and he is a great person. We will make the trip again. It is worth the trip for those who have been thinking about making it and for those who haven't, you should.
Martha  TEXAS

This past Saturday, we came to Kerrvile for our annual trip to the Texas State Arts and Crafts Fair. During an Internet search prior to this visit, we found the Lakehouse restuarant web page and decided to eat there while in town. We did and it was great. The food was good and the service was fantastic. Our waitress was Carol and she is really nice.
Barbara and Carl  TEXAS

Great site! Thanks for joining in on BFHP conversations and others.
Rick Pierce  ARKANSAS

Like your site & next time I come through Kerrville I will stop & eat.
Jim Fitzgibbon (Jigging Jim)  OKLAHOMA

This is a great looking site and some beautiful scenery. I can't wait to get down there and try some of that great cookin'. The wife and I will do our best to make it by there when we go to San Antonio this summer, but if we don't I will make it by the next time I am headed to Carta Valley. Hope all is well.
Mark aka "Stickbowhunter"  TEXAS

Our sincerest thanks to Mark, Sallie, and the gracious staff of The Lakehouse. We had a wonderful time in a very relaxing atmosphere. The catfish and shrimp were great! (I got my eye on the chicken-fried steak for the next time!).
tc and Mrs. tcTX   TEXAS

Your place looks beautiful. I'll be in Texas within the next 12 months, and will be sure to stop by.
Kathy  ILLINOIS

Wonderful site Mark. The photographs present a very soothing image, which compliments the true ambiance and exquisite cuisine one experiences while dining at the Lakehouse. Delectable entrées highlight an evening of relaxing dining pleasure with a breathtaking view that is sure to be a memorable experience for all. Whether one dines out in the open on the luxurious veranda with the soothing lake breeze, or indoors with the ravishingly royal décor and stunning chandeliers, one will be constantly pampered by bikini clad models (who graciously perform Shakespearean acts for tips). Dine to the music of Stan ‘The man with the golden thumb’ Kowalski on the accordion, and feel free to sing along with some of your favorite Led Zeppelin tunes.
Craig ‘Publius’ Charlton  MARYLAND

Me and Big Old Mean Momma BOG plan on coming your way this summer and sampling some of that great catfish that Woody (and other BFHP NF denizens) rave about. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your place.
"The Rev Ben"  TEXAS

Great looking place. Tell me, do you serve pinto beans and cornbread? How 'bout collard greens?...Good stuff! I hope I'll get the chance to drop in and visit some time. Hey, did you mount that ferocious monster you caught for the N vs S thing? It's probably mounted in the doorway! LOL. Take care and God bless.
Jerry  ALABAMA

Let me finish my orignal post (see the first one with no name). I was saying I couldn't wait to get down in that area to be able to partake your excellent cuisine. Take care Mark and Sallie. Your Friend,
Thad Rains  TEXAS

Nice site Mark and hope the best for you and Sallie in your venture. Take care.
Stan Lee  KANSAS

Great looking site, Mark. I can tell that you are a true Texan by the bowl of beans in the pictures. Sure wish I could get out there and eat some of that catfish with you. I bet my doctors and rehab nurses would really like that. Seriously, you have a well done site. Continued good luck with the resturant and web site.
Roger Smith  ALABAMA

Hi Mark....I just returned from a week of fishing and eating in Alabama with A.W. and he told me to check out the site when I returned and it really looks good. You never know when a "Yankee" may come knocking on your door looking for a good meal.
Ken (Iceman) Hatch  MASSACHUSETTS

Enjoy the web page and all the familiar sights that we see at least once or twice a week. We are glad to be right here in Kerrville to take advantage of this good "hill country cookin" real often. All of our guests and family are also grateful that we live close. Thanks, Mark and Sallie, for being such great hosts and folks, and for the great folks that you have on staff. EVERYONE should have the pleasure of eating here.
Larry & Bettye  TEXAS

Mark, That is absolutely a great site. I enjoyed the visit. My wife and I will visit your Lakehouse this summer.
Skip & Martha  TEXAS

Nice site Mark! Sure do hate the Lakehouse isn't in my back yard. I can only imagine the food must be as good as the company over there. Just let me know when you want to catch some fish over on the Rez. I can guarantee you'll at least double your weight....almost. Let me know when you get the 127 SS Ranger pics posted. I know they're coming. Hehehe.

Jim F   VIRGINIA

Gorgeous site Mark!! Man, I'm jealous; this is one of the best I've seen! Well done. Will definitely stop by and check out your restaurant if we're in your area. Take care.
Al Shields   CANADA

I've been to the Hill Country a lot. I'm sure I'll be back though and stop in for some good Texas cookin. Good looking site MHA. Keep the food warm.
Tom Schraufnagel   VIRGINIA

Excellent site and menu layout. How long would it take us by boat to get there ;)  I wouldn't have expected any less from a World-renowned professional tournament bass angler. Har har har. It really looks good and like the other guys, it made me hungry.
Kevin from FL®   FLORIDA

Great place my friend! Good luck and have a great day! mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm gooooood!
USA   THE WORLD

Great site mha! Will surely (as sure as you are a great fisherman) stop by when in the neighborhood! Make sure you have plenty of Gumbo and filets on hand!

Mark, You have a good looking site. Hope to see you at Cooper in May.
Dennis aka Driffwuud   ALABAMA

For fine down home food at a reasonable price, The Lakehouse is the place eat. Typical Texas hospitality adorns the Lakehouse which leads to many return customers. Mark, keep up the good work and I'll see you at the next Central Texas Mini-Rally. Great Website!
Alex Bennet (Tinman)   TEXAS

Very well done site, I would love to visit yout resturant the next time I am in Texas. The menu and view look great.
Jeff Southern   GEORGIA

So if you come east for the really big bass next winter, are we going to have to listen to a food critic all week???? Nice site, Mark.
Jim Lively   GEORGIA

Mark, great site! Sure hope I get to Texas someday for the folks, the fishing, AND the food! What's a chicken fried steak? Seriously, your place looks like a wonderful spot, best of luck to you and your family.
Karl L   DELAWARE

Enjoyed the site & if I get down that way I'll be sure to stop by. See you over yonder mha....
Ed Hugo   NEW JERSEY

Great site. We'll look you up the next time we camp in Kerrville or Lost Maples.
David Brown   TEXAS

Great looking site. Next time I'm down your way I'm definitely going to drop by for a good meal.
Dave Carter   MICHIGAN

Well I'll be - they let anyone have a web site won't they. Just kidding....Mark you site looks great! Good luck with it and I hope we can meet up again soon for some fishing, Take Care.
A.W.   TENNESSEE

Mark, I just found the link to your website and it looks great! I especially like the trick photography on those LMB! Now that you're on the web folks will be standing in line to eat and get advice from an internationally known bass pro!
Dennis "Bandit" McGuire   TEXAS

Great looking site, and a place I will certainly stop and visit when I'm in your part of the country.
Rich Boger   ARKANSAS

Mark, what a great website! I can't wait to get to "THE LAKEHOUSE" for some great food and good times! If I have you pegged like I think I do, the restaurant is first class with first class service! My best to you and your family!
Gene Gradick Jr   MEXICO

Great web site, Mark. Do you have home delivery? <grin> We met at the first Central Texas Mini Rally but didn't get to talk much at the Chair & Velvet session because I was laughing too hard all night. Hope to visit your place on the river soon and sample one of those "real thing" chicken fried steaks. It's 3 A.M. as I type and readin' the menu made me hungry! Best regards......
Flash   TEXAS

Looks like a very nice place, Mark.
John522vx   WISCONSIN

Mark, your fishing prowess and the SS Ranger are widely known across North Texas. But not as much as your cooking. I can't wait to get back down in that area so I can sample some of your renowned hospitality and great eats. Your rally friend,
Thad Rains   TEXAS

Nice site, mha.
Charles Nahm   ONTARIO, CANADA

Hey Mark, Great looking site. Wish I could get down there and get some of that chicken fried steak. I haven't had it since I left Dallas in 1970. My wife doesn't know how to make it. Us Yankees don't get much call for it. Maybe ya could send me a general recipe (I don't want any of yer secrets).
Charlie B (Uzi)   NEW YORK

Mark, great site, and loved the fishing page!!! If you don't do delivery, could I at least talk you into FedExing me some of that catfish gumbo?
Dean Savage   ILLINOIS

Mark & Sallie, Great site. It really brings back the memories of my visit to the Hill Country and dinner at the Lakehouse last March. I'm still trying to lose the weight I gained eating catfish with Tin man.
Woody   MINNESOTA

Great site, MHA!
Jo   MINNESOTA

Hope to come down from Austin to try your food. Your website looks great.
Brother Bob   TEXAS

Great looking place. If I'm ever over that way I'll be sure to >stop in and do a few fork reps. Take Care.
