Shore House Bar & Grill - Weldon (IL)

5 /5 R. U. Lost 2: Seemingly hidden within a very nondescript building with virtually no signage is this gem of a restaurant (as well as a shop geared towards supporting the boating community) on this popular and highly attractive lake. Even after seeing it on this app, I was questioning whether I was in the correct location and was hesitant to even go in the building. Was this some sort of prank? With so many private marinas in other locations, on other lakes, that make a point of dissuading non members from visiting, it took a little while but I finally decided to step inside. Best decision that I’ve made in some time! I ordered the shrimp tacos and was very impressed! The amount of ingredients and the way that the flavors came together was absolutely wonderful! (If I could offer one suggestion though… without changing anything about the ingredients (either type or quantity) it would have been much easier to eat if the tortillas were slightly bigger! The taco’s were so stuffed that those ingredients kept falling out of the tortillas as I attempted to eat them! Also… I anticipate happily returning for another visit but would also suggest that they may draw more customers if there was something on (or around) the building as to what awaited them inside!)

5 /5 Michelle Zelhart: We had our work Christmas party at the Shore House Bar & Grill this week. I had reached out for a special dinner menu request and Drew immediately responded and said no problem. The food & drinks were AMAZING, The entire staff went above and beyond to make our party special. We will definitely be returning. This is such a great place and so happy we have it close by. It is currently closed for the season (except for special events) but once it gets back open, you absolutely need to come here.

5 /5 Keri Elliott: I had a gluten free grilled chicken garden salad with west creek buttermilk ranch dressing. Nothing was labeled on the menu and the employees weren’t quite sure what I could have but one manager helped me figure it out, and we looked up the dressing online. It was really good.

5 /5 Jessika Warner: Very nice place, food was great but its more of like "food truck" / "appetizer" food and for such a beautiful place I was expecting a real dinner menu....a steak and baked potato dinner would be nice for a place like this but its a beautiful place.

4 /5 Tricia Scott: Clinton Lake Finally Has Its Destination Spot! The new Shore House Bar & Grill is a game-changer for Clinton Lake. It’s not just a lakeside stop — it’s quickly becoming the reason to make the drive. With a beautiful setting, good food, well-made drinks, and genuinely friendly service, Shore House is exactly what this area has needed. Opening night had a few of the typical new-restaurant hiccups, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. It’s clear they’re working hard to get everything just right, and those early kinks will no doubt smooth out quickly. What stands out most is the atmosphere — welcoming, relaxed, and built to be enjoyed. Whether youre grabbing a meal after a day on the lake or meeting friends for drinks and a sunset, this place delivers. It’s only going to get better from here.
