We were seated behind a barrier, and after dropping off our entrees, our server disappeared. My husband realized that he hadn't been served any condiments with his fish & chips -- no tartar sauce, lemon, vinegar or ketchup, nor slaw. He waited a few minutes to dig in, figuring someone would pop around the corner and we'd catch their eye, or our own server would return to check on us. Nope. Meanwhile, hubby had tasted a few fries, which were barely warm and a bit flabby. He started to eat his fish, sans tartar, and said it was ok, but not super hot. Fish and chips out to come out of the fryer so fresh and hot that you need to wait a few minutes to eat it so you don't burn your mouth -- but not here. This food had been sitting around a while. A few other servers had checked on tables nearish to ours, but didn't give us so much as a glance, and didn't hear our loud "Excuse me!"s. We weren't thrilled at the prospect of having to get up and go to the bar or hostess station to get help. But because both our meals had become unenjoyable thanks to waiting over ten minutes for someone to happen by, I decided I'd go seek assistance. But just then, our server happened by. We flagged her down and asked for all the things that were missing. She glanced at my husband's still pretty full plate and her eyes popped a bit, clearly realizing that the sitch was not pleasing to us. She brought the missing condiments, but damage done at that point. It had been a little exhausting waiting around and keeping our eyes peeled for a passing server. The restaurant should make it more of a point to send servers through that lower seating area on the regular. It was a pretty mediocre dinner.

Based on several other reviews, I was a bit worried at first about what was to be expected with speed and quality of service. Our server, a young lady, was excellent, and helpful with making our choices. Her manager or chef seemed like a man possessed running around the floor to assist his staff at the time and did stop by once to check in with us. As far as menu changes or decor from a recent refresh, I have no basis of comparison so couldn't care less about that. We were starving so we opted for recommendations from our server spanning all over the menu. We had everything from cheese curds and bang bang shrimp to the Reuben and patty melt, to a filet mignon with loaded baked potato as a side. In retrospect, kicking ourselves now since nobody in our party got any seafood outside of the shrimp appetizer. Doubtful we will be back east of Columbus for a while so I have no idea when we'd realistically get to try the Salmon BLT or seafood pasta. Unfortunately nobody snagged photos of the food since we were famished and it wasn't a priority. I don't eat sweets, but was told the Key Lime Pie and Banana Fosters were well worth saving room for. If you're like me, I'd opt for the OG Dockside Old Fashioned instead.

Island House is pretty much a dive bar. But this dive bar is staffed with ultra kind and…read moreaccommodating people. I showed up by my lonesome, not knowing anything about Island House or Buckeye Lake or anything, and I was greeted warmly and shown to the popcorn maker. The popcorn maker is there by the bar and is available (with buttered popcorn) for your popcorn-eating needs. I'm assuming that popcorn is complimentary with your meal, because I saw a dude come up and get a bag of popcorn (twice). That's nice that Island House offers free popcorn. Anyway, I didn't eat the popcorn. It was a little ... I don't know. It was a little much for me. Instead, I ordered a Club Sandwich (toasted bread, ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato). The club sandwich was great! It's sometimes difficult to make a great club sandwich, even though the components are simple. This club sandwich at Island House was great. It came with ruffle chips. There is patio seating here at Island House, which is probably amazing during the summer and fall, because you're steps from the lake. I sat indoors (by a window), which is an option but FYI the ventilation is a little lacking and it was a tad stuffy inside.

SOME OF THE BEST FOOD & DRINKS ON BUCKEYE LAKE...!!!…read more As we walked in on a Friday night, we saw a chalkboard outside that read "Steak Night! Filet Mignon or Ribeye with salad and 2 sides for $16.99! Add a crab cake for $3 more!" Guess what? It was good. REALLY GOOD. The Beach House Pub is in the former Beachcomber in Fairfield Beach, on the south side of the lake. But it's new ownership, a new menu, and they've brought new life into this place. There were 5 of us. We had pizza, wings, 2 steak dinners, a burger, drinks, etc. Everything was really good. The steaks were an absolute bargain. The ribeye was delicious. The filet was delicious. The $3 crab cake was really good. Drinks were strong and very well executed. Sarah, the new owner, was a manager at the Copper Penny for many years. She has absolutely, positively "upped her game" here - the Beach House is really good. REALLY good... We're thrilled, because we have a house nearby. Service was great. The live band was good. We got seated right away, and served right away. And it wasn't a madhouse, like some of the other places on the lake can be on a weekend during boating season. I'm sure it will get busier as people realize what a gem this has become. If you find yourself on the south side of Buckeye Lake any time soon, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Beach House Pub.

Our server was nice, my Cobb salad was tasty- once again scant on the chicken but otherwise good. Not a total strike out but close.

This restaurant is always busy and you honestly have to wait a while for the hot food. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs.

The ice cream came out pretty melty because of the extreme heat. Our server apologized for it. The restaurant has games available for the wait. The restaurant is quiet enough for conversation with one of your favorite sons also! The tables were clean as was the restroom. The food is decent. This is not gourmet dining nor is it necessarily healthy. As an occasional treat, the food hits the spot. We will be back!

A staff member named Carlos was not in proper uniform, which already made the place feel disorganized and poorly managed. During my visit, I also witnessed him making inappropriate and disrespectful comments that made the interaction uncomfortable.

Overall, the behavior, professionalism, and basic food safety standards were completely unacceptable. I strongly encourage management to address this immediately, because this is not the level of service customers should receive.
