Vernon's Lakeside
Vernon's is a family-owned business that was founded in 1986 as Vernon's Grille in Addison, TX. We began as a local sports bar and grille offering American favorites with a southwest influence. In the summer of 2013, Vernon's was revitalized to become Addison's first gastropub offering a fine selection of popular craft beers and liquors.

In 2019, Vernon's spread their wings and opened a new location at Cedar Creek Lake. We are still family-owned, bringing many of the same high-quality dishes, along with some new dishes that have a "lakeside" touch. Whether you get here by car or get here by boat (yes, we have our own dock), give us a try.
Services
Corned beef, warm sauerkraut, melted swiss cheese on grilled rye with 1000 island dressing. Grilled Ahi tuna strips, Romain lettuce, homemade croutons, Caesar dressing and parmesan cheese rolled in a spinach tortilla. Fresh baby greens, tomato wedges, homemade croutons, grilled asparagus, and sliced avocados.

The 50/50 burger has 50% ground applewood bacon and it's amazing. The fries are top notch as well. Inside dining affords wrap-around giant windows with just as good a view as sitting outside. We have an Air BnB there in Loon Bay near the end of the bridge and love to send our guests there...with maybe some free queso, chips and salsa as a perk.

It was horrible. It took 3 waitresses to take an order. The calamari for $15 was old. Got quesadillas to go and they were so soggy We had throw them in the garbage. $ 55 dollars later....so unhappy and dissatisfied. Don't waste your money and time.

Great place to meet friends, lunch, dinner & listen to music without being in a crowded bar. But wished they posted who or what band is playing each weekend. I think you would get more customers if you did. 👍

The people here are great Newman is the man, he is the bartender. They have outside seating also with a boat dock to come in from your boat. I had the Cajun burger last night and my wife had that huge pot pie. Go check it out!

What a cool place to visit if you are looking for good food after a day at being at the lake.

The food was served hot and fresh with huge portions.

I had the chicken fried chicken since they were out of the chicken fried steak. It was so large that it covered over half the plate and you could tell it was fresh out of the fryer.

My wife has the fried catfish and it was very delicious kind of wish I had ordered it, lol.

They had live music that was a bit too loud for my taste but they played some good tunes.

We were heading back to Mesquite, and decided to stop here to get something to eat. My wife and I were seated at a booth, which was very comfortable. Our server, Tori C, seemed to be shy, but was very good. She helped my wife on what she could get, and knew exactly what was on the menu. Her service was excellent, with her making sure that everything was ok. The food was very good! My wife and I plan to return when we come back to our lake house to visit our grandchildren and daughter. I’m glad that something seems to have made it there, because we have seen many businesses come and go there.

Went to lunch, had the appetizer with tuna-Loved it. Summer, our waitress, saw I was taking a while to decide my entree, and said they make the tuna appetizer in to a wrap -I ordered. Best, best - even cold. Don’t start ordering, they will increase my price.

We had a fun time at Vernon’s Lakeside and a Great Lake view, too. We had a variety of food, wraps, burgers, shrimp, Reuben and wonderful sweet potato fries. Can’t wait to return. Thank you to our server Kalee, perfect service! We never had to look for her, she was always around and refilling drinks and checking on us.

This place is adequate at times and that's the best thing I can say. The pot roast I recently got was a gloppy mess. I could not tell my food apart because it was piled with gravy. I like gravy but this was beyond ridiculous. It was actually a soup. They plopped my roll in the middle of the gravy mess and submerged the wrapped butter pad in the gravy as well. I had to dig it out, covered in gravy and wipe it off with my napkins to use it. I took a few attempts at eating the soupy mashed potatoes and had to quit. I won't be back.

We had a great time the my sister and brother n law and my other half , there was a band the evening we were there , it was nice to hear great music.
The food was delicious, quasadillas, hot wings, cheese burgers, chili cheese fries and appetizers.
Nice atmosphere on the water , we pulled up on our pontoon and the pier has a nice set up and bumpers already attached for easy docking , I loved that part of it .
We'll definitely be back..

My family and I went over for our first time to Vernons. Brea was our server and she was knowledgeable and sweet. Service was a bit slow for a Sunday evening, but the outside patio was welcoming and views of the water are probably best for a restaurant in this area. We loved the queso and salsa. My wife enjoyed her bacon/steak burger and I snuck a bite and it was delicious. The burrito steak & shrimp special was pretty tasty. My youngest felt like the BLT was bland and my oldest ordered a salad and it was pretty small for price. All and all we enjoyed our visit and it would be nice to have

Poor management! Advise to management: do not seat people you do not have the capacity to serve! I would rather be told It would be 1-1.5 hour wait than be seated and leave after 1.5 hours of not getting my placed order! Bucket of ice beer and HOT and barely any ice. Servers, bartenders and cook (from prior experience) are great . Poor management is stressing their employees and their customers out! Evident with the fist fight that broke out on the patio while we were there!!! Manager should comp our appetizers IMO after waiting over an hour for food that never came. We left hungry once the cops

First and last time to be here. So far, it's the worst place to have lunch. 32 minute wait to order our drinks, another 45 minutes to place our order and 2 hours to get our meals but not how we ordered. Friendly server while most of the staff avoiding their duties, ignoring customers,taking multiple breaks while a few working.

Only one cook because the other workers decided to take the day off.
Poor work force selection yields no return of customers like me.

We went on a Saturday and was looking for a place on the lake to eat. Vernon's Lakeside is right on the lake with a dock for boats to tie to when people want to come in from the lake. We opted to sit inside, but mistakenly sat near the bar. Not recommended if wanting a quiet meal. I ordered a hamburger which was really good and my wife ordered a sandwich.

Been twice and happy both times. Casual feel restaurant on the water serving lakeside vibe as much as anything else. But the drink menu is better than expected with some decent selections of bourbon, tequila etc. the food again is better than you expect from a lakeside restaurant. Burgers, panini and fish and chips were all very good.

A shout out to Vernon's last weekend. Wife and I were seated early but a kitchen incident delayed food service for 40 minutes. Wife and I were going to finish our drinks and move on. But the staff was great and quick with an appetizer. During the rush, the

If you want to enjoy an outside bar with lake views and live entertainment this is the place to go. Especially on the weekend. People with water vehicles can pull up to their dock and come up to eat and drink too. We socially distanced at the outside bar and enjoyed a drink along with the chili fries (don't recommend the fries due to the chili on top being soupy).
I don't enjoy being around smokers since I'm not a smoker myself but if you're sensitive to smoking keep in mind many people will be smoking at the outside bar. We were able to keep our distance from others at the

My friends and I were in town for Ram Ranch and found this lakeside restaurant! The place was pretty busy but the wait staff were able to get us seated pretty quickly and were attentive throughout our visit.

The food had big portions and was tasty. Having the lake being a back drop was also a great addition to the experience. The back porch leads to an outside dock bar as well as docks you can walk out on. When the weather is great, it's probably amazing to go out there and have some drinks overlooking the lake. Overall fun place to visit and eat at. Would come here again with friends.

Every few months my wife's family has a "cousins" lunch and it was her lake cousins turn to choose the restaurant. They chose Vernon's and I'm glad they did.

First of all, the food is good. I had the 50 50 Burger which has bacon cooked into the meat. Big and good. Maybe too big. After a couple of bites I ended up using a knife and fork which goes against everything I hold dear about eating a hamburger. But I soldiered on.

All the while I kept eyeing the chicken fried steak which just about everyone else ordered and listened to them rave about how good it tasted. I mean
