Lindy's Landing Restaurant and Marina

Lindy’s Landing has been a staple in Lake County for half a century, with avrestaurant and sports bar right on Bang’s Lake in Wauconda, equipped with two outdoor door decks and a beach. The story begins with Bob "Lindy" Lindstrom, a Chicagoan passionate about boating. After frequently taking his family to and from Wauconda, Lindy sought to fulfill his dream turning a farmer’s old boathouse into Lindy’s Landing in 1965. The building was initially built in 1908 with a small bar, candy counter and two pinball machines. In 2003, Lindy’s daughters Laurie, Cheryl and Bonnie (also the kitchen's co-heads) decided to give the old barn a facelift with a remodel. A Lindstrom has been in charge of this operation for nearly 60 years. Besides the Santa feasts that you can accompany him on, Lindy's also cooks a mean dish. The cozy lakeside eats are highlighted by seafoods, steak, bowls, sandwiches, a seriously loaded drink menu and mouth-watering desserts. If you're looking to take it easy on gobbles day, they also serve Thanksgiving to go!
