We have eaten at BR twice in the last two weeks, and both times were a positive experience. We had…read morethe fish special -- the fish pieces were delicious and huge! Last evening we ordered and picked up pizzas. They were delicious too and grandson loved his cheese pizza. Staff has been very courteous. We enjoyed browsing the gift shop and picked up several cute tees. We moved our boat to a dock here at BR last fall, so we were anxiously waiting for the restaurant to open. We were able to enjoy the live music from our dock.

We have enjoyed coming to this restaurant this summer but something changed in August. We loved…read morethe catfish sandwich so much that we bragged it up to friends. Unfortunately we put our foot in our month when we took 2 other couples with us. 3 of us ordered the catfish sandwich but the fish was minimal. Usually the sandwich has so much fish you take some home. Sadly there was more bun than fish. Two of our friends that ordered the fish sandwich are big men. I felt so bad recommending the fish sandwich that I had to apologize to them. Please do not skimp on the fish. We hadn't gone there in a while since the fish sandwich episode but stopped again before the end of summer this time for lunch. My husband & I ordered the pizza this time which is always good. First they were out of the beer my husband ordered, then we waited 50 min for our pizza. I felt sorry for the waitress who stopped by our table to apologize. When she stopped a second time, we asked what was the problem. The waitress said they didn't have green peppers for the sausage & green pepper pizza we ordered so someone went to the store to buy it. We said someone could have told us & we would have switched to mushrooms. She said we didn't have mushrooms either. We laughed & said you have a veggie pizza on the menu. ?!? It was a Friday afternoon with several weekends left in the summer. Why would you not be stocked up?! When she delivered the pizza she said they now had the original beer my husband asked for first. Wth!!! The kicker was when we went to pay with a $100 bill but they had no change. Not a good way for a business to start a weekend! Crazy! We hope next year will be better!

Came on the recommendation from a friend (04/25/2026), I'd heard mixed reviews so I was curious…read moreabout this place. I'll give them 4.75 stars, but they did fantastic so I'll round up for this place. First, we walk in the door and Zack walked past and complimented the boss on her snazzy shirt and a few other staff were friendly too so the vibe was nice to start off. We were then led to our table to discover Zack is our server for the night. Another compliment on the bosses glasses, okay she did look great - Thanks Zack! Drinks come out super fast and we get our food ordered. Zack was great helping with Alpha Gal and later following up with the kitchen staff that they had in fact not put butter on my fish - another win. I ordered the red fish special (I think) with a baked potato and the boss got the Harris Platter. Zack recommended blackened and was so right, delicious! I tried her fired catfish and that was delicious too, but would have dipped it in hot sauce, but the cocktail sauce was so yummy with a nice horseradish bite - delicious and maybe better than hot sauce (slander I know). That 0.25 off - well the hushpuppies were kinda gross and bland. This is the south so quality hushpuppies are a must. Ask for Zack, you will not be dissapointed.

We've tried the steaks (tender and flavorful), sandwiches (yum! -- the cheesesteak seems packed with flavor and the grilled chicken is tender and juicy), fish and chips (not over-cooked -- lightly battered), and salads (fresh). Save -- if you can -- room for dessert! Everything is great, the portions are generous, and the price is reasonable (a rare find these days). Also, Josh (chef and co-owner) is a deep-fry master. His waffle fries, mozzarella sticks, and mushrooms are over-the-top. Josh sometimes steps out of the kitchen to greet customers and make sure everything is OK. The rest of the staff follow his lead for friendly service. If you get the chance, check out the adjacent, beautiful wine tasting room for Lake Barkley Winery. In addition to tastings from proprietor and builder, Bill, you can pick up some great local wines or some California varieties. Not only did Bill build the tasting room by hand (along with the entire building), he's the vintner who created the local wines from grapes he grew nearby. Get some of his local wine before he runs out of it. The California wines are from a vineyard his relative owns. This really is a family business! The tasting room is gorgeous and could be a great place to rent out for an elegant event. I hear JJ's and Lake Barkley are close to opening a banquet facility upstairs -- can't wait to see that!
