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. We ordered way more food than two people could possibly eat but we knew we could take it home. I love the cappuccino crunch ice cream. It is my all time favorite flavor. 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!

I didn't eat all the fries but all were delicious. I highly recommend you stop in and support this local business.

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.

Last month, we were nearly two and a half hours into our drive from Pittsburgh to Columbus and…read morestopped in at The Blue Heron Kitchen. 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.

My wife and I have visited Blue Heron many times, both before and after the reboot when the new GM…read morewas appointed. Other than some new decor (which in my opinion is tacky), and a few new items added to the menu, the other noticeable change appears to be the slow service coming from the kitchen and inconsistency of portion size. This past Friday we arrived at approximately 5:15, the restaurant was fairly busy with the bar nearly full and most tables occupied. The server was timely in taking our drink order while we reviewed the menu. We placed our order, 2 fish sandwiches and fries, then waited 40 MINUTES for our food to arrive. I'd like to say it was worth the wait, but the fish was cool and the few fries we received were cooler. The most disappointing part was that never once did we see a Manager or have one touching tables to check on guest, or apologize about wait times. All the guest adjacent to us were complaining about the wait. Our server was apologetic and understanding about our displeasure. Perhaps there is a good reason that there wasn't a Manager on duty, if there was one on duty, it's inexcusable that they weren't at all visible and engaged. As mentioned, since the temporary closure and reboot, the inconsistency in portion size and slow ticket times, along with the decor we've not seen much improvement.

The person whobhad the gilles cheese added bacon. They said the bacon was perfectly crisp, not floppy, not burnt. The Hot Dog was a Costco style 1/4lb dog, nuff said. The burgers came out on a soft hamburger bun, topped with a generous portion of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The patty was a well seasoned 70/30 patty that hit all the notes. Just right, not overly seasoned with GSP or fillers. Salt pepper Beef that's all. Finally, the star... the hand cut fries! This was a bonus for us as we didn't know thet had them. When the server suggested them, we all said yes! They were that rich brown that fresh fair fries get...ya know?!

I'm always quite skeptical when it comes to bbq places. Ive had many bad experiences. When i saw this food truck right off of st rt 37 I just had a good feeling about it. The owner, Jimmy, was the nicest guy right of the rip and it was easy to tell that he knew a thing or 234234 about TRUE AUTHENTIC Memphis BBQ. I tried the Brisket, Pulled Pork, Mac n Cheese, beans, and slaw. Everything was perfect. The brisket was cut into thick slices and it was so juicy and the crisp on the bark with the smoky flavors was insanely delicious. The pulled pork was hand pulled and seasoned to perfection. They came on sandwich as part of the "World Famous Meal Deal" and it was a MONSTER of a sandwich. Pulled Pork and Brisket piled as high as the plate could handle. The sides were even better than expected and accompanied the bbq to perfection. I work in the area and this is going to be my new place to go for food. I just gotta throw this out there as well. They offer delivery locally and to truck drivers parked across the street. Way to take care of our truck drivers working hard during this time. Go check out Memphis Blues and BBQ! You WILL NOT be disappointed.
