Hoak’s Restaurant

Along Hamburg’s Route 5 shoreline, brothers Edward and Bertrand Hoak opened Hoak’s Lakeshore Restaurant in 1949. It remains popular for its classic fare, relaxed vibes and panoramic Lake Erie views. Owned and operated by third-generation siblings Kevin Hoak and Aileen Hoak-Lange, the blue-collar roadhouse draws steady crowds with its fish and seafood platters, meaty entrees, salads and burgers.
