So glad we chose Dotties. We ordered Cowboy burgers ($6.99)that have bacon cheese and an onion ring on them and a hot dog with cheese ($2.49) and also an order of Mozzarella Sticks ($3.89). The burgers and hot dog were all very very tasty and r remained steaming hot until the last bite. The Mozzarella sticks were thick and perfect. The staff is friendly and nice and there are about 8 tables to sit.

If I could give negative stars, I would. We were sold a brand new boat that operated for less than…read more50 hours before catastrophically failing and nearly sinking. We were told it needed a new engine, after 9 months were told that it wasn't covered under warranty because we couldn't prove it was a manufacturers defect even though the authorized Yamaha mechanic said it was, then have been waiting another 2 months to get the repairs complete. Communication has been horrendous. We were told it would be fixed on the 7th, then the 10th, then had to call every number we could find before anyone to respond and were told it won't be ready for this weekend, maybe next weekend. We will likely not get to use the boat at all this summer after they've had it for nearly a year. Worst purchase and customer service of our lives.

Buck's Island really pleased us with a great pontoon and trailer at a wonderful price.More than…read morethat they proved what a quality place they really are.We drove from Indianapolis area all the way to Buck's Island because they had an 8 year old pontoon with only 267 hours with a 90 HP Mercury and a trailer all in excellent condition for only$16,999.We went on a 20 minute test drive and everything checked out.On the way home we stopped in Kentucky to fill the boat gas tank.Upon launching it ran for a couple of minutes,then died and wouldn't start.I called Patrick,our salesman,who got a mechanic to walk me through a few things ,it would crank but not start.Patrick assured me everything would be OK.We took it to a local marina(A and E Marine)who found water and sediment in the fuel.The entire fuel system needed a flush plus a fuel module to the tune of $2100.Without hesitation Buck's Island paid the bill.Hours later it is perfect.I am so impressed with how they stood behind their 30 day engine warranty on an 8 year old boat.They could have tried to squirm out of their responsibility by blaming the fuel I put in but didn't. Apparently the boat must have been sitting and the better fuel was a level in the tank when we test drove and the contaminated fuel wasn't apparent until it got stirred up.Buck's Island also had performed a 300 hour service before we left.They stood behind what they sold.I will drive there again when I need another boat .Mark Hanna.

Since Im about to retire from the U.S. Navy, I thought it would be grand if we started my own…read moreNavy.....Ill call it G&K's Navy, and well ROCK! To get the ball rolling, one would logically deduct, a Navy would need ships, so I bought an old jon boat and motor from a guy, its a 1963 set up and Im stoked about it! The Johnson 10hp outboard has been sitting a little over a year, so I wanted to rebuild the carburetor and replace the plugs. I looked around and the rebuild kits ranged from 16 bucks online delivered to 50 bucks from a business in Memphis that clearly sells gold plated carb rebuild kits DIRT CHEAP. A buddy of mine said, "check out that place up yonder on 14, hes got bunches of boats, cant miss it"...........so, I did. This is the place where boats in the Memphis area go to die.........seriously, I bet the dude has like 300 out there. A boat junkyard........that place has more boats than Carter's has liver pills. If this place was closer to Iran, they'd have a much larger Navy. The perfect place for a budding Naval force such as mine. Another thing he has is great prices in my opinion. I paid him a grand total of 16.38 for my kit, and Im probably gonna go back and see what else I can rustle up out there in the boat-afterlife-heaven place he has there. The point im making is that his little country boat shop is actually competing with the internet, AND keel-haulin those other guy's prices to boot. I dont recommend that you start your own Navy, as ours is MUCH more established right now and youll never hope to challenge for the high ponds. But I do recommend that you give him a chance to have your business. Call, drive out there.........whatever, give the guy a shot. You gotta respect someone that doesnt jack the prices just because hes out of the way. Very knowledgeable guys. Thanks for reading, and know that you can sleep safer now that G&K's Navy is patroling the waters thanks to Highway 14 Marine.

They told me to bring it back. I lived a half an hour away and couldn't get it back later. Had a mechanic look at it who told me I need a battery part. Bought the battery part. Brought it back. It was the wrong battery part complained about the absorbinant bill was told by Brett that there was nothing that could be done. I really felt that there should have been some form of return compensation for the amount of bill that I paid. I was not expecting the whole bill to be credited but just the fact that the boat never ran was upsetting. We've now sold the boat and have had no financial return or physical pleasure from driving that boat. It was a waste of time and money. If you use this company, be sure you check out their rates and fees before giving them the boat and have them give you an approximate time that the boat will be ready and if it's not ready then pull it because they're going to charge you more and more money. I will not go back to that company again..
