Good Looking Up Front. Hard Working Behind the Scenes.

Every ad in In Good Taste does two jobs. One side is all about the eyes: your food, your drinks and your space, printed in full color and out in the world for six months. The other side never shows its face. It's the listings, links and search data quietly sending people your way online, all year long.

The Side Customers See

Pretty Pictures, They Stop By
  • A Full-Color Ad in Print. Your best shots on a page that stays out at 120 spots around the lake from ski season through May.
  • In Every Railey Check-In Bag. Right there with the keys when vacation guests arrive.
  • A Photo-Forward Listing Online. Your photo, your story and a "See Our Ad" button on DeepCreekDining.com.
  • Raise a Glass Centerfold. Your signature drink, photographed and featured on our drink trail.
  • Ad Design Included. No ad yet? We'll design one that looks like you, at no extra charge.

The Technical Stuff

Working for You, No Effort Required
  • Structured Data. Advertisers are coded into the site so Google understands who you are, where you are and what you serve.
  • AI-Ready Listings. We give AI assistants a clean list of our partners, so when someone asks ChatGPT or Google where to eat at Deep Creek, you're in the mix.
  • Specialty Guides. Placement in the searches people actually type, like Dock Access, Pet-Friendly, Gluten-Free and Bakeries & Desserts.
  • Built for Search. Town guides and FAQ pages answer the questions visitors are asking, with your listing in the answers.
  • Links That Count. Your website, menu and Facebook linked from a fast local site.

A Local Guide, Made by Locals

Hi, I'm Sarah Myers. In Good Taste is LakeFront Magazine's food and drink guide, and putting it together means I've watched just about every restaurant at the lake open its doors, change hands, add a deck or win a few new regulars.

The Menu Guide has been part of lake life since the early 2000s. Long before anyone looked up a restaurant on their phone, it was the little book tucked in rental cabins and passed around docks, and it has come out every season since.

This year we rebuilt it as In Good Taste. New look, more room for the places that make this area worth the drive. Then we gave it a real home online at DeepCreekDining.com, so every ad in the magazine also works for you on the web.

What hasn't changed: it's still made right here. We restock it every week, and we know the owners, the chefs and the bartenders by name.
