    BEST chicken I have ever had....really....ever. Baja Chicken is spatchcock chicken that is cooked…read moreto perfection. Every single part of it (I honestly think the marrow in the bones would even have flavor lol) is full of robust flavor and is juicy. You can taste the expertly balanced spices and fruit juices in the marinade and rubbed on the skin. Large portion and the sides were delightful too. The owner/chef came out and introduced himself-so warm and kind. He is very active in the community which just makes it even better. Yall this place is a gem!!! Don't pass it by. Hands down some of the very best food in Lexington. Any other "normal" chicken will never be the same. .

    Oh my goodness! I am so glad I found this place. And it's huge! They are planning to make the back…read morepart a "speakeasy ", and another section they are going to have it as a family style restaurant serving food family style to be shared by everyone. I think those are great ideas! I had to order the baja chicken and it was everything I expected it to be. Tender, and packed full of flavor from the marinade and woodfire grill. I asked for a side of their peppered sauce and it is amazing. Just hot enough to make you crave some more without being too vinegary. I bet it would taste great on fish or beef. I had the side of beans and it was a huge portion. The side salad was a good simple salad. I will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu!!

Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

    People are in and out, and it's a revolving door, so you already know you're in the right spot…read more There's a wait for your food, but it's worth it. I ordered the shrimp; they were seasoned and breaded well, cooked fresh, and a great size. I really enjoyed them. The fries were fresh and tasty. They are the crispy seasoned fries. The hush puppies are so delicious and greasy but are very delicious. The lemonade is very delightful and refreshing. It's clean in the restaurant, and everyone is so nice. Parking was available, with a decent size lot.

Last night I went again and ordered a Fiddler cheeseburger with onion rings, firecracker shrimp, Fiddler fries and I went ahead and got chicken wings. If I get home I found that the chicken wings were cooked to perfection, the Fiddler cheeseburger was very good but they don't put condiments on it. They offer you packets but you have to put it on yourself so I whipped out some ole Duke mayonnaise and ketchup and did it myself, the firecracker shrimp were good and the Fiddler fries were mediocre. Overall the experience was good though and I was really impressed. By the way, the onion rings were fantastic. I think they make them there. They're themselves. They don't seem to be pre-breaded. I got there just as they opened at 4:00 and they got slammed almost immediately because it was a nice day on the lake and everybody was wanting something to eat. I'll be back. It was good.

    Came across this place while delivering something to Prosperity. Cute little spot in the river…read more Place is a little loud but lots of seating inside and out. We started with the fiddler fries and crab bites. Highly recommend the fiddler fries. The crab bites were not good at all. Very bland in flavor. I had the catfish platter with onion rings. My husband had there Sirloin special with collards and baked potato. Fish was cooked to absolute perfection, onion rings delicious, steak flavored and cooked beautifully, collards tasted sour and baked potato was good. I also got a blue Murray it was ok. For the flavors listed all I could taste was cherries and it wasn't one of the flavors listed. Ended dinner with their new toffee cake dessert. Now that was delicious!!! Service was ok. Had to look for our waitress a good bit but overall. Would definitely go here again. If you haven't tried it. I definitely would.

    Catfish Johnnys no longer exists, the restaurant that took its place took Nachos OFF the menu as a…read morestep towards removing the 'trashy' crowd that previously supported this cool little Lake Dive. Everyone love CAtfish Johnnys. The staff seemed afraid to be too nice and the manager literally told someone near me he cancelled all bands or did not book any rock bands or have any bands on Fridays because it brought in 'that crowd'. He wants to focus on Families and cut down on alcohol and certain appetizers that attract them. . There is that. Sooooo... Oh service was slow, we ordered three or 4 of the same exact item and all three came completely different. Shrimp was fried on one, Shrimp was cooked another way on the 2nd and Anyway the plates looked like completely different orders. The drinks were made the same- all different even when ordering the same drink. We did not complain as it clearly was not the servers fault. We will remember the manager pretty much insulted all previous patrons which includes a lot of people with boats and money and laughs. Although he wanted to focus on Families, I saw no more or any security or extra security around the water so do not expect extra safety for your children and there may have been but I didn't notice an expanded children's menu. I think the prices may have been higher too. Enjoy the new Knotted Marina and bring your own music you may not see any of your favorite oldskool bands. I normally get a Togo meal to bring home. I did not this trip. The manager may not have known he was talking to one of the bands that previously played there. I really used to love this place. We shall see

    Finally open for "boat/lake" season!!!…read more Expect to sit at Your table for a bit before being greeted or even "I'll be right with you." We just wanted a beer and app after docking. But we sat and sat as THREE servers walked by. Nothing said, not a peep. Pretty disappointing. Wish we had just gone to bar then sat at a table. Will we return? Probably because our boat is there. Will we make it a point to return? Probably not. It's loud, but it's outdoors, there's music etc. nothing unexpected. Can't comment on food because we waited forever for a beer we decided to pay as soon as we finally got a drink. Hopefully as the weather continues to warm up and more people come they will get in a better rhythm.
