A bar serving great sandwiches, fish fries, and daily specials is located on Cisco Lake. Another unique bar and restaurant on Mamie Lake serves terrific sandwiches, homemade pizza, Friday fish fries, and a Saturday steak night.

Watersmeet has two cafes, and the casino has a restaurant with super buffets and a snack bar.
