Kruse's Deerlake Inn

“We ducked in to this restaurant to avoid driving in a bad thunderstorm. We had no idea what to expect. The staff were friendly and the food was so yummy! When I said gluten free they brought me rolls instead of the bread before dinner. Best rolls I’ve ever had! And the gluten free pizza was so good! My mom had salmon which was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful!”

“I was assigned salad duty for a dinner party and didn’t have to think twice — Deer Lake Inn was the obvious choice. I grabbed a large Caesar salad and, of course, the bread… which is honestly half the reason I stop in. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when bringing something to share. I still remember driving up and down Dixie Hwy during the remodel of the old Deer Lake Inn and watching the transformation happen — the silver exterior, the green grass-like siding, and the iconic deer head. When I heard it was becoming a Kroger & Muer restaurant, I couldn’t wait for it to open. Since then, it’s become one of my favorite local spots for lunch, dinner, or drinks. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is consistently excellent, and it truly feels like a place that belongs in the community. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or picking something up to take home, Deer Lake Inn never disappoints.”

“I was flying solo this weekend and wanted a nice dinner and experience! Kruse's Deer Lake Inn did not disappoint. I chose from the Flavors of Fall on the menu (pick two) 😋 The stuffed shrimp was prepared perfectly (tender), and the baked shrimp and scallops were delicious. The pilaf pleasantly surprised me and was very good (pilaf is something I would have never ordered but it was the side for the pick two). I also had a Martha's Vineyard salad add tomatoes (not pictured)! I look forward to stopping in again soon!”

“Our food was amazing. They bring out warm, fresh bread and butter to start out. The pizza 🍕 was great. Hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Hubby had fish and chips, and he said it was very good. Our server was very attentive and gave us great service. Overall, a great place to go or get takeout for yummy food.”

“Came here with my wife and her parents. Food was delicious and staff was very friendly. Only complaint is I felt like they tried to put more seats in here than they should. This is more ideal for couples or less than 5 in a party. That aside I would recommend this place for a nice dinner. Based on recent experiences I think this location is also a little more affordable than other Kruse locations. I also recommend getting a reservation.”
