There was a group of people that set up a volleyball net in the new "beach" area. Great to watch. We got a bucket of beers. The ice melted quickly, but the beers were cold. Started with the crab dip....I was happy....i would get it again. He got some oysters. He would suggest serving the mignonette on the side...just so you can regulate how much. He probably wouldn't get them again....but he's oyster-picky. We also split the combination fajitas. I thought the chicken was much better than the beef. The salsa verde had a nice kick. We both enjoyed them. Got a side of fries - and they were the star. Crispy. Fresh. Hot. Exactly what I want from a fry: gonna have to try the cheese fries. Owner stopped by to check on the table and chatted for a few minutes.

We love to take drives in the country. We haven't been very far into the lakes and hills to the…read moresoutheast of us, so we're doing more exploring in that beautiful country. We headed towards the Cedar Creek Lake area and eventually needed to consider a place to eat. On a Sunday, there's not much open after eight. But Dirk's Dockside Bar and Grill appeared to be open until 10 pm. I was amazed. They were newly open and having some soft opening pains, but it's rare for a new restaurant not to. The new moon was full over the lake when we got there and there were only a few people in what is an enormous restaurant and deck. Dirk's Dockside in Seven Points is on a little spit of land, a causeway, so it has a wonderful view of the lake. We sat inside as they were testing speakers for the coming holiday. But we did go out there to take a peek. I would love to come back when it's daytime. Service was attentive and friendly. Chris, our waitress, helped me pick out something soft. I just had a big fractured molar/crown removed and had restrictions. I ordered the Fried Catfish and substituted onion rings for the fries (an additional $1.99). They have Signature Sides you can pick from. My husband also ordered the Catfish with the Corn Fritters and substituted a Caesar Salad for his fries. We didn't wait long. It gave me a chance to look around. There are booths, tables and high tables all along a window view inside. High chairs line a long bar. Multiple TV's range from sports to family television. Outside is a terrific shaded deck and band/bar gazebo. I imagine locals are very familiar with this layout as the restaurant existed previously, but the sheer size of the deck is unusual. Our food arrived and the Catfish was enormous! Not strips. Not sliced into smaller filets. A giant perfectly cooked catfish fillet. I had asked for some pickles and they make their own sweet and sour pickles that are scrumptious. Tangy and perfect with the Catfish and Tartar Sauce. I gave my husband my Corn Fritters and he ate his first. He said they were tender and very good. My onion rings were also good and I although I chewed only on one side, they were not hard. I shared those with my husband who loved everything. His Caesar salad had "a delicious dressing" and I quote. It did however have two large homemade Melba toast instead of croutons. Tasty and different. We enjoyed our dinner and we'll be back.

I was excited to try this place with seeing the stars here. I actually feel bad for the owners but…read morethey need to find help and quickly. I came in with two other people, we were seated promptly, the server explained the specials, the bartender said she made amazing drinks. She said we had Blanton for $13, my two friends ordered and old fashioned with Blanton, the glass was pretty much empty. I ordered a Manhattan with Woodford, also pretty much empty and they served in a rocks glass, should have been up. I then switched and ordered a double Woodford on the rocks- they charged me 46 dollars for a 2 oz pour of Woodford. The bottle is 40. I am in hospitality. I was mortified you charged more for Woodford than Blantons. I ordered the prime rib special/ it's a steakhouse- or so I thought. I asked for MR, said as rare as they can. I got a well done piece which I sent back, they brought out another piece which looked funny, it looked fake. Not sure how to describe it. I cut into it and took one bite. It was the most vile thing I have ever eaten, it tasted like plastic and chemicals. Told the server that I would stil pay for it but I don't want anything . The owner came over I explained, she then said it comes pre-cooked. The rep from Ben E Keith recommended this. They don't have a chef . I felt awful for them. Change your vendor to one that won't sell you subpar products. The burger my friend ordered was also sent out over cooked, and the by strip was disappointing and also sent back. We all ended up getting burgers made by the other owner, they were actually good. Here's my recommendation- turn into a burger joint, and learn how to price drinks. $150 for 5 drinks, thankfully they took the food off cause of the issues. The server said thank you for not yelling at me and understanding it's the kitchen. Your service was great, please find another place with good food so you don't get yelled at. I'm sorry this happens to you but it's not going to get better unless they make changes.

She was attentive, kind, and always paying attention to whether we needed anything without hovering. We started with the appetizer sampler and chose the fried pickles, okra, and green beans. Everything came out hot, fresh, and lightly breaded, which I really appreciated. Nothing felt greasy or overly heavy. Also, the sweet tea was actually sweet and delicious, not that sad "dark water" tea you sometimes get other places. We split the chicken fried chicken sandwich and an order of 8 honey BBQ wings. Both came out at the same time, and honestly, we probably could have chosen just one because the portions were huge. For the price point, that was a big plus. Everything I saw on the menu looked reasonably priced and fair for today's economy, no price gouging. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly. The breading was light, the outside was crispy, and the chicken was still juicy. The wings were fried naked and crispy before the sauce was added, which I loved. My only tiny nitpick would be that there was a little more sauce than I personally prefer. I would have liked the option to add more sauce if needed, since you can always add more but can't take it off once it's on. Overall, this was such a good experience. Great service, fresh food, big portions, fair prices, and a true local restaurant feel. I'm so glad we chose this place and will definitely be sending people this way!

We tried Cinco de Mayo in Athens, and unfortunately this visit was pretty disappointing from both a…read morefood and service standpoint. The chips were very thick and had almost no flavor. The salsa was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Service was probably the most frustrating part. We received our waters, but the other drinks we ordered -- a soda and a blended margarita -- didn't come. Our waitress was also extremely inattentive. She walked past our table several times and stopped to ask other tables how they were doing or whether they needed anything, but repeatedly passed us without even making eye contact. It was difficult to get her attention when we actually needed something. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. The kids' chicken had breading that barely stayed on the chicken and basically slid/fell right off, and the fries seemed barely cooked. The cheese enchilada was even more disappointing. It was smothered in what tasted and looked like melted processed American cheese rather than the type of cheese I would expect on a Mexican enchilada, and the tortilla itself seemed raw or seriously undercooked. I can overlook one disappointing item or a server having an off moment, but between the forgotten drinks, lack of attention, undercooked food, and overall quality of the meal, there just wasn't much about this visit that would make us want to return.

The dipping sauce had a great spicy kick without overpowering the flavor. The gumbo was darker and different from what we've had before, but it was packed with flavor.

My daughter ordered the kids' chicken, and even that was impressive. It was real, perfectly cooked chicken with just the right amount of breading. The seasoning was subtle but absolutely delicious. I also ordered an espresso martini, and it was actually very good! The best part of our experience was our server, Nikki.
