I had the chicken and dumplings which was good and tasty as always. However, my two friends had fried chicken breasts and fried green tomatoes. One of my friends said that the breast she was eating on did not taste right. Both of my friends were sick all night long. It's unlikely we will ever go there again.

Food was really good (order potato combo meal with brisket and a coke) a. The combo included 2 corn and cheese small muffins, a container of bbq sauce, and a large baked potato with butter, bacon, green onions, sour cream, and my choice of meat brisket b. The brisket was GOOD! The muffins were very light, buttery, moist; not dry at all or too corny. c. The bbq sauce was thankfully in a container off to the side, it was too watery for me and was not a fan of the taste, it was like ketchup with water. 3. Price a little high for my liking ($18) 4. Not a fan of styrofoam when there are better cheaper alternatives out there 5. There is a tip jar at the window and if you pay with a debit card they have you sign the receipt where it also asks for a tip. I'm not a fan of paying drive thru service workers a tip like you would a waiter/waitress. 6. Wish they sold chili. If they did sell chili I would like to see it come with the same toppings as the baked potato does. 7. I will definitely be a returning customer just not as often due to the price.

It's a fast food style or ordering, picking some of the amazing sides, then finding a seat. This may have been a Hardee's or maybe an old A&W store. It's all about the chicken, great crispy outside, always cooked perfect. If you haven't, give it a shot.

We got the pit master platter with mac and cheese. My favorites were the brisket and the ribs, and that doesn't mean the other meats weren't good I just have my favorites. The brisket was so moist and just fell into pieces. Same goes for the ribs, I had to barely pul the meat before it just slid off. I also loved the variety of sauces. Finally the Mac and cheese was so yummy, definitely felt like my mom's homemade mac and cheese. Overall loved this place and definitely will come again! The service was super quick and very informative especially with it being our first time coming in.

I ordered the grilled seafood platter which came with a few bay scallops and small shrimp...scampi style...and a thin filet (mahi).

I ordered one of the most expensive dishes on the menu $29.99 and he ordered a $15.99 coconut chicken salad along with two diet cokes. When we got the check they had calculated the check with a 20% service charge. We asked what it was and was told it was 16% for her and 4% for the kitchen. Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.

You cant run a restaurant when you walk in 5 mins before opening and turn on the stove. Its called prep work. This is disappointing to say the lease Sticky bun pretty good.

My son and I check out of our hotel and needed spot to for breakfast. Our target? A charming little…read morecafé that looked like it had big dreams and about 85% of the throw pillows to prove it. We grabbed seats at the bar--prime real estate for both people-watching and silent negotiations with the universe about how long coffee should take to arrive. The menu got a thorough inspection while we waited. And waited. Not a hostile wait. More like... a polite standoff between us and the concept of service. Eventually, victory. Orders placed. I went all in: biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs over easy, maple bacon--the kind of breakfast that doesn't whisper "good morning," it kicks the door in and demands respect. My son went classic with French toast and sausage, a choice that says, "I trust the fundamentals." Now, let's talk ambiance. Coffee in paper cups. Not a dealbreaker, but it does send a subtle message: "We're still figuring some things out." The interior felt like a Pinterest board mid-argument--close, but not quite ready for the reveal episode. Service? Nice. Professional. Also slightly resembling a live-action game of pinball. Our waitress was great, but the overall flow had a certain freestyle jazz quality--improvised, energetic, and occasionally confusing. Refills were more of a "self-reflection exercise" than an offered service, so ordering extra water was a tactical masterstroke. But then... the food arrived. And just like that, all sins were forgiven. That biscuit and sausage gravy? Absolute bullseye. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and question whether your childhood memories have been quietly outperformed. It didn't just taste homemade--it tasted like someone's mom was in the back, judging everyone and getting it right. The French toast held its own--golden, solid, no nonsense. Exactly what it needed to be. So here's the deal: the service may have been running a little behind the breakfast parade, but the food? Leading the band, confetti cannon and all. Final verdict: 4 stars. Not because it couldn't be 5--but because it's this close. Tighten up the service, ditch the paper cups, finish decorating like you mean it, and you've got a heavyweight contender. Until then, it remains a gem--slightly unpolished, but absolutely worth the stop.

Ambience: restaurant was very clean and had a mixture of booths, high top tables, and tables. 4 stars. Food: the salads were very generous in portion size and each one came with two dressing. The egg roll that came with the zensation salad was "ok". The Cobb salad was good and finally the chicken finger plate I got I think might have been missing a chicken strip and thought they could have put more fries on the plate. The food was good , so I will it 3 stars. I lean towards 4 stars are the max at restaurants like this. The food is never going to be OMG great, but 3 stars for a fast food chain is pretty good.
