Fogs is one of our favorites. Food is great, the owners and all that work there make you feel at home...it's a great... neighborhood place! We stopped for lunch recently. My husband had a shrimp po boy with extra shrimp and I had a great burger.They also serve breakfast on Sunday mornings with a couple of specials added to the regular breakfast menu each week. If youhaven't been there before, give them a try. You'll be glad you did Read more
Holy cow. This place is out of this world. From the moment I walked in I knew this would be the new go too. I admit I was a fool... and tested the gut buster and bottomless mimosa. They won and are as described on the menu. My fiancé had to drive home and Ihave a fridge full of leftovers. The pancakes are crazy good. Read more
Fogcutter is a long time corner bar and restaurant. Coming here is like stepping back in time to what the old Lake County felt... like when I first moved here in the 90's. The food is pretty much a typical bar menu, with all the popular deep fried offerings,a decent burger and interesting daily specials. Portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, and the service is alwaysfriendly. Read more
Food was awesome. You wouldn't think it would be because it is a very small hole in the wall but drinks were phenomenal, food... was even better and the prices were great. I will be back again and again Read more
When we expressed a preference for eating outdoors, the very accommodating staff packed us a fine picnic. They split orders for... us and provided all the utensils and condiments to make our get together great. Food was perfectly prepared. My split BLT wasperhaps the best I ever had. Read more

I had a great experience my first time here at The Fogcutter! The waitstaff was very nice and the atmosphere of the place seemed... to be a nice low key kind of setting. The build your own burger special was excellent and the time from ordering to the tablewas very quick! They give you very nice portions and I know I was taking some home with me after my visit. I can see myselfcoming back here for sure. The different events they host make it a great place to come back to time and time again. Read more
We recently moved to the area, and I?ve seen their sign outside advertising trivia night, birthday wishes and other things. It... definitely piqued my curiosity. We visited the night before Thanksgiving around 7:30 for dinner and a couple drinks. This placedoes not disappoint. It was quite crowded and there was a good vibe. The two servers were so friendly and attentive. We sharedthe beer battered mushrooms, fried pickles and the D&D burger. The mushrooms and pickles are made in-house as opposed to beingsome frozen stuff. The server had the kitchen split our burger and fries on 2 separate plates without us even asking! Theburger was cooked to a very nice medium rare and the brioche bun was so soft and a perfect pillow of carbs. The burger waspink, juicy, and had the nice spring in the meat that indicates the burger wasn?t overcooked or undercooked. Hands down, thosepickles were our favorite. They had the right ratio of pickle to batter. They use long, thin slices instead of coins orspears. My only minor quibble that doesn?t require star removal and is here for others? awareness: The mushroom battercould?ve used more salt. While I sprinkled salt at the table, it can be a bit overpowering. It?s better tasting when the batteris aggressively seasoned to combat the water that leaches out of the mushrooms as they cook in the hot oil. We?ll definitely beback for bingo and karaoke nights! I?m hoping their karaoke night is meant for those of us who sing off key. They?re in for atreat when I get up to sing. ???? Read more
