Hoak's Lakeshore for Dinner

Everyone was hungry when we left Bobby's memorial service in Derby. I was the only one who had any of the food buffet besides the cake even though it was only a few bites so we talked about going out for dinner. Sean, Ashely, Becky and I talked about going to dinner. We talked about maybe going to Shango but as we drove home along route 5 we were coming close to Hoak's Restaurant. On the way down to the service Becky and I were talking to Dave and Donna about Hoak's and that we hadn't been there in a few years but wanted to go sometime. Well, Becky brought up going there now and we all got excited. So Hoak's for dinner along the lake it was.

We got there just a little before 5 pm and the place was crowded on a Saturday evening. We were given a wonderful table on the patio overlooking the lake with a spectacular view including the city in the distance. Sean and Becky got a couple of NAs and Ashley and I both had a draft pint of Oktoberfest from a local brewery. Ashley got a nice roast beef sandwich and the rest of us all got their famous fish fry. Buffalo friendly food. 

The restaurant got really very crowded while we were there and we were certainly lucky to have arrived just before things got too crowded. We did get a really nice table for four. When we were leaving an hour or so later there was a line of cars in the parking lot waiting for parking spaces.
