We'd visited the Duck Creek location many times last summer. Since it is closed for the season, we decided to try the Monkey Island location. The interior is eclectically decorated and there's pool tables, shuffle board, and a few video games to try after you eat. This is also a great music venue featuring local and area artists. (Down Low was there the night we visited.) Although it was getting a bit busy, service was friendly and fast (with some other staff helping tag team drink service and food delivery). We tried the appetizer special: artichoke spinach dip. Better than average. We tried the Kansas City Strip and the Nashville Tender Mac. The steak came with two sides. One we chose was the baked potato. It was HUGE and came with a basket of every topping you would ever want: butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, and green onion. Seriously, the accompanying side salad and this potato would have made a meal. The mac 'n cheese was huge as well and was topped with two ginourmous pieces of breaded chicken doused with a delicious (and spicy) hot sauce. This was enough to split into two servings. There's no beer on tap but F-5 was available in cans so all was well. I had the Spicy Limonata cocktail. It was refreshing but could have benefited from some extra sweetening. This is definitely has a neighborhood feel and we plan on visiting again. read more

UPDATED 6/30/20: This place is even better than it was in 2018. The food is delicious and more restaurant-style than many other places on Grand Lake. We enjoyed the patio as the non-smoking section still smells like the smoking section. I wish they could ban smoking and not hurt business! This is one of my local favs when I'm visiting the lake. Previous: The kitchen is open until 1:00am EVERY night! You won't find that anywhere else on Monkey Island, or even within a 30 minute driving distance. My family has grown up at the lake on weekends for decades, so this is a huge deal! The atmosphere is casual and friendly. However, the cocktails add a city touch that I love. The margaritas are made naturally with freshly squeezed lemon and lime and simple syrup. The strawberry infused vodka drink was a hit! All were served in tall glasses. Of course they serve beer as well. The menu offers a variety of items versus the standard burgers and sandwiches everywhere else nearby (although they have that too!). The fried pickle chips were thick and the breading was tasty. Their homemade ranch dressing is AMAZING. The grilled chicken salad was simple, but ample and filling. I plan to go back and try other items as well as relax with friends and family. The location is great, especially when you don't want to drive to Grove for a restaurant-style meal. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because that means perfection. We had to walk through a smoking section to get to non-smoking; maybe it was just that door was only open for a Sunday, but smelling smoke is not appealing (I know, it's still a bar too). The fried pickles and grilled chicken on the salad were smaller portions than most places as well. These items wouldn't prevent me from going back though. Kudd read more

I've eaten here twice when it wasn't crowded during the week and the food has been pretty good, service good and eating with a view of the lake from the dock is an added benefit. Margaritas were good, pig tails (actually fried pork loin) is very good, Reuben sandwich was delicious but could be better with more meat on the sandwich. Fish and chips was a disappointment with only 4 little fish stick sized strips per order and no "Dockside tartar sauce" listed on the menu available as it hadn't been prepared. The small portion wasn't well received by those who ordered it, tasted good but more like a snack than a meal. As food costs increases for everything, it's either portion sizes or the prices that must be adjusted and restaurants are under a lot of pressure with labor scarce as well. I believe adding options for portion sizes is a better option than reducing serving sizes, hungry people can upsize their portions -at additional cost and everyone is happier. read more

This hidden gem has got me hooked! From the moment you walk in the atmosphere makes you feel like home. (And not in now cracker barrel kinda way.) A very classy yet laid back vibe! Now the food.... the food was AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend trying the low country but also, can't wait to come back and try something else as well! Blind Swine. I'll be back soon! read more

This was the first restaurant we ate at after buying a home in Monkey Island. The decor was very cozy. We sat ourselves and our server Tina was great. Ordered a Long Island, but it had too much coke, not strong. Bartender wasnt sure how to make kamikaze shots, so went with well tequila which were really rough shots. Foid: Ordered Rueben and fries. The proportion of sauerkraut over corned beef was overwhelming. The sandwich was dry and also they have no thousand island. The kid who brought our food informed me that their swine sauce was similar. FYI, its NOT. It tasted like a mix of ketchup a miracle whip. It does not pair well with a Reuben. My hub said he liked the burger. read more

Awesome food and great drinks. Love the charred pineapple margarita Great for big parties too. Wonderful deck and exceptional customer service read more

Was really good food but didn't like that we had to walk through the smoky part of the restaurant to get to non-smoking. We ordered the fried pickle appetizer. Delicious!! I ordered the Cubano with garlic mashed potatoes. Very good! read more

Took our boat over there the other day. The food was good and the service was also just right. The ambiance was quite and nose as well

We loved it until 2022. The waitress we had was horrible. The food was ok but it is sad to keep getting up and asking for products that were not given with our meals!!! read more

We came here for dinner, but got in pretty late. Our drinks and apps came out fine (all were good!) but our waitress let us know it was going to be awhile before our food would be up. She gave us the option to cancel, so we did. Headed over for some foosball and darts but we didn't have quarters. The dance area was busy and fun! Their are several signature cocktails for under $10. The front porch is for smokers (I think) and is really well done. Private parking lot. Come in your lake clothes! read more

We traveled an hour to check out the Blind Swine only to be super disappointed with terrible service and bad food. At best it's a dive bar and will try it again to see if it's the same outcome. read more

DELICOUSSS!!!!! The first time I came the this restaurant on monkey island they made sure that I was really able to enjoy my time! The bar is in a totally different room than the family dining room and there is a game room and amazing!!! TOTALLY recommend if you want to go somewhere extraordinary!!!!! read more

We stopped for dinner about 7:30 pm.. Food was amazing! Side salad w Ranch was super fresh & yummy! The special grilled Chicken sandwich w Sarah's sauce was seriously the BEST grilled chicken sandwich I've had in a long time! Try the portobello Mushroom fries.. service was friendly & fast.. We will be back! read more

For a restaurant with the best reviews this was a disappointment. Ordered a specialty drink, the whisky pig, if you like a sheen of grease on your drink this is the one for you. Ordered the pork shanks, they were out of those. Ordered the pig tails very bland. Also ordered a gourmet dog "loaded" with bacon & topped with 2 over medium eggs. Never found the bacon, definitely a Sysco hot dog & the eggs were definitely over well & brown. Could not drink m specialty drink so I ordered a gin& tonic with double lime. Got a double gin& tonic with 1 lime. When we checked out our check was $78. I asked for an itemized receipt, we had someone else's check. Worst restaurant we have eaten at in a long time. Also, you are allowed to smoke in the restaurant. read more

Don't go if you care about your figure. Do go if you want a delicious meal. I had the chicken and Mac cheese and it was indulgent. Cleanse starts next week. read more

Driving through Monkey Island, how could we not stop at the Blind Swine?! It has a fun atmosphere and down home feel. We started with the friend green beans, and they were the best I've ever had, with a special, slightly spicy seasoning in the batter. I also had the filet mignon medallions with mashed potatoes and green beans, and everything was seasoned perfectly. I didn't care for the smoking section to have its door open to the non-smoking section, but thankfully, no one was smoking. The service was great. I definitely recommend this delicious restaurant. read more

Simply amazing. There is not enough praise to go around for the Chef that owns this restaurant, oh and he has a pretty cool name Brandon.... A friend and I were on business trip the week before memorial day, and we wanted to visit some cool local only establishments to get the true experience of food Grand Lake had to offer. I am glad we stopped here multiple times and enjoyed the custom foods Brandon the chef created. One was winner 3 time winner for local Grove Eatery competition. That was the Low Country.... Oh man that sandwich was amazing. He makes all his food from scratch. The fried green beans and Smoked Tuna dip was to die for... We were going to eat here a third time on Friday night because he makes hand cut Ribeye's that I would be they are amazing because all the other food was top notch. Too bad we had to leave early.... This is a must stop for anyone family, kids, date nite, and late night hangout too because they have live Karaoke Nights with some really good local country and western singers. :) read more

I'll keep it simple. The food is good. The music is great. You should not pass up a chance to chow own here.

Had some GREAT food as well. They took GREAT care of us. We can not wait to come back & party here again. read more

One of my favorite places to grab a drink. They also have really good bar food. Hip environment with mixed age group crowds. Pool and other games. Waitress and bar staff are really cool. read more

We ate here again last night. My wife had a wonderful Grilled chicken salad. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the home made ranch was out of sight. I ordered the blue cheese Burger with home made Onion Rings. The burger would stand side beside a burger from any restaurant anywhere. The burger was just over the top. The rings are a must. You ask why three star, not 4 or 5? It is long pAst being cool to smell cigarette smoke with such good food. read more

Best pure "joint" on Monkey Island. Eclectic without being to weird. Good place to hang for drinks and casual food. Patio is great on a good night with mix of tourists, locals and characters. Live music was above average and got better as the night went on (and drinks kept coming). Great staff and atmosphere. Worth a visit on several occasions especially if you want something late since they cook until 1am. read more

Great food! Great staff! Great venue! The menu is diverse with a yummy amount of swine.

This place has great food- really fresh selections and one of the better places to eat on the island!! We have the seafood ceviche, boiled shrimp and ribeye. We will definitely be back!! Great service too read more

Great food and owners. Friendly with wonderful service! Monkey Islanders love this place!

The best place for live music, dancing, and a laid back atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

Okay first of all, went here one time. Bartender was very rude. Came back a second time, server Kyle was AMAZING. Made our experience, 10x better. Toward the end of our trip, peep came and made our amazing experience, even better. These 2 servers should rule the serving world. 10/10 read more

Bad over all--super slow service- gross food- weak drinks. Overcharged by $50 then shady about that, flies everywhere, reeks of smoke. Not worth it. I'd give it zero stars if possible. read more

Really good food, but not a family friendly environment. Waitress's butt was hanging out of her shorts, and I mean hanging. Yuck!

The jalapeño tequila is super yummy! Only had drinks but the food around us looked awesome!

I had out of town guests and we were looking for a fun spot for dinner. I had heard great reviews about the blind swine but had never been in so we decided we would try it out. What a great decision we made, the food the atmosphere and our waitstaff was spot on! We enjoyed it so much that we went back 2 nights later and again another awesome experience read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat on the island. Great food good music great drinks. And not prices to high. You won't be disappointed eating here try the boiled shrimp and the blue cheese dog!! read more
