    We visited this spot while on vacation, looking for a dog-friendly restaurant (found via the BringFido app). The view was lovely , and we enjoyed a stroll after lunch to take some photos . Upon arrival, we checked in for a party of three. The host staff was efficient but not particularly welcoming ‍. We were seated quickly, within five minutes . However, service throughout the meal was slow--there were long waits for drinks , refills , and the check , even though the restaurant didn't seem overly busy. Given the limited menu , I expected quicker service. I also noticed a note on the menu limiting dining time to 45 minutes , which seemed odd considering the pace of service. If the establishment enforces such a time limit, they should ensure the service is prompt enough to accommodate it without making guests feel rushed . Additionally, for a holiday weekend , the menu was extremely limited. We drove in from a neighboring town , and this was not indicated on the website, which was disappointing .

    The food was not great, the drink was really good, the service was fine, the ambiance is pretty much what you'd expect at a bar and grill on a lake. Not terrible overall.

    The service here was lackluster. Our waiter would disappear and we had to ask for refills. We had to wait a while on an our food. The food is pretty simple (which isn't necessarily bad) with a small menu. In my opinion it is overpriced for what it was. The atmosphere is fun and chill, seems to be place for the locals to hang out. Probably wouldn't go back.

    This was a great lunchtime pit stop for us while staying in Blue Ridge. Great water views from the comfort of an open-air, completely shaded patio. Seating to accommodate small or large groups. Dog friendly. Full liquor bar. Great service. We ate the chicken sandwich, Buffalo wrap, and quesadilla with pulled pork. All rated as tasty.

    This place is an Outdoor bar and grill that is family friendly. Boat Dock Bar and Grill is a WATERFRONT restaurant with classic American eats. Their outdoor seating has tons of coverage and shade. This place has plenty of seating and a bar area with almost all the spots facing the water. The menu was limited (not much seafood) but had classic options. The options ranged from burgers, sandwiches and wings, with the occasional seafood option (ie: shrimp, grouper fingers and calamari). Their menu had delicious sides including steak fries and a loaded baked potato salad which was YUM! The drink menu included wine, beer and speciality cocktails. Some of which were fun creations like the Blue Ridge Boat Wreak and the LBRM Ridge Runner (a mix of fruity liqueurs and juices). Great menu and even better atmosphere!! Pro Tip: the chicken patty and wings are freshly smoked in the back !!

    Great location. Bar food that's decent. Service is a little slow but we were there on the weekend so it was quite crowded.

    Great place to hang out on the lake. But the margaritas were just ok and the food was about the same.
