Join us for Oktoberfest II next weekend 🇩🇪 Friday, October 23rd – Sunday 25th for another epic German dining experience.

If you’ve got a taste for something different— Sauerbraten, Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Potato Pancakes, Strudel—this is your sign to swing by our little corner of Germany.

We also serve our Pub Menu (burgers, fried baskets, salads) for anyone in your party who's less adventurous.

🍝 This weekend’s feature comes with a bold name—and plenty of cheese to back it up.

Our World’s Best Lasagna begins with sweet Italian sausage sautéed with ground beef, layered between tender pasta sheets with fresh basil, tomato, mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan. Baked until bubbling and golden, it’s rich, hearty, and unapologetically indulgent.

Served in a generous portion, it’s the kind of dinner that makes planning for leftovers a little optimistic.

You'll find our full lineup of weekend specials on the menu below, but we also have something else cooking for next weekend…

🇩🇪 Oktoberfest II is coming to Pleasant Lake Inn!
We're bringing back our much-loved German Weekend for another three days of traditional German cooking. From our week-long marinated sauerbraten and crispy pork schnitzel to grilled bratwurst, homemade sides, warm pretzels with b**r cheese, and German desserts, it's a menu we take particular pride in preparing.

We'll be sharing the full menus and plenty of delicious photos later this week. In the meantime, we've put together a preview on our website for anyone eager to see what's coming—or ready to make reservations.

🦞 Lobster Ravioli Weekend
This weekend’s special needs little convincing: large ravioli stuffed with real lobster and cheese, sautéed in a rich, creamy lobster bisque sauce.

Delicious as-is… but for $8, you can add tender, pan-seared shrimp on top! And judging by that second photo, it is a great decision. 😏 🍤

🥩 This Weekend’s Special: The Perfect Golden Pork Chop
There’s a reason this one keeps making its way back onto the specials menu.

It’s a thick, hand-cut bone-in pork chop, seared and broiled until golden on the outside and cooked through while staying tender and juicy inside. Served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. If you want to take it over the top, add our creamy peppercorn gravy. 😋

We’ve also got Steak & Mushrooms over Pasta, Crab-Stuffed Haddock, Chicken, Pork or Haddock Parm, and Seared Ahi Tuna with Asian Slaw on the specials menu this weekend.

And the pub menu is always available, with smash burgers, fish fry, fried baskets, boneless wings, schnitzel fingers, salads, pretzels with b**r cheese and more.

Shepherd’s Pie is the special this weekend, and it really is one of the best comfort-food dinners we make.

It’s thick, rich, and hearty, with ground beef, peas, carrots, and onions, topped with a generous layer of creamy mashed potatoes and broiled until golden. Simple, filling... it just hits the spot this time of year.

We’ve also got crab stuffed mushrooms, seared ahi tuna, steak and mushrooms over pasta, our parm dinners, and amazing burgers! (see video, omg)

🇲🇽 Steak Chimichanga Weekend! 🇲🇽

We’ve served our chicken chimichanga before, but this weekend we’re changing things up with a Steak Chimichanga — made with the same New York strip steak we love serving on our dinner menu.

And this thing is BIG. A large flour tortilla packed with seasoned, sliced steak, Mexican rice, beans and cheese, then flash-fried and topped with more cheese and enchilada sauce. Served with salsa and black bean salad on the side.

Crispy outside and loaded on the inside… pretty much everything you want a chimichanga to be. $24

🇩🇪 One last day of German Weekend! 🇩🇪

Friday and Saturday were incredible — fully booked from open to close both nights. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who came out, and to our crew for absolutely crushing it.

But today is Sunday… and if you’ve followed our German Weekends before, you know Sunday is our little secret. We’re open 1–6 PM, the pace is usually a bit more relaxed, and you have plenty of flexibility to settle in and enjoy the full German menu.

And really, what better plan for a dreary, rainy Sunday? Come hide out with us for a couple of hours, pretend you’ve escaped to a cozy little spot in Germany, and let us bring you the schnitzel, sauerbraten, sausages, warm German sides, and all the good stuff. 🇩🇪🍺

Bring someone you love, bring an appetite, and give your taste buds something worth leaving the house for. 😉
German Weekend ends tonight!

🕐 Sunday: 1–6 PM

🦪 There’s just something about a perfectly pan-seared sea scallop.

A hot pan, a little butter, and just enough time to develop that beautiful golden crust while the center stays tender, delicate and almost buttery-sweet. When the scallops are good, simple is better.

This weekend we’re serving a full ½ pound of Pan-Seared Sea Scallops, cooked just that way, paired with creamy mashed potatoes and our house-sautéed zucchini & squash medley.

If you love scallops, you already know. And if it’s been a while since you’ve had really good ones… we think this is a pretty good reason to come see us this weekend. 🦪
