A prime water front restaurant on Smith Mountain Lake. More dive bar feel, but third generation run (which is saying a lot!) and worth a visit if you're in the area. Locals know the drill, order a bucket of beer and get settled in. Don't expect it to be very kid friendly, no kids menu and all the tables outside are high tops (although they do have high chairs). We arrived slightly before 6pm, before the dinner rush- but still waited 45 minutes to get our food. Our bill was slightly discounted because of the delay, (did I mention we had to get our own lemonade refill) but I'd rather have faster food service than comped food. The view is what people really come for. Here's a snap of my drink, The Hummingbird. read more

Great views, good food, attentive service. Enjoyed our lunch, even outside with fans on a really hot day!

Food is amazing. Love the old boat motor decor. The best part of this place is the service. They also have Hershey ice cream so when they kids forget their IDs the can at least get an ice cream cone read more

Great view for deck seating, with lots of boat parking available. I got snacks here on a boat ride. The fries were great. The mozzarella sticks were so-so. The mojito was pretty good. The bathroom needed better ventilation. read more

Yes...great food at the marina! You can sit inside, which is a little sports bar like, but I would save this place for good daytime weather so you can enjoy their nice, big deck, with a great view of one of the western-most fingers of the lake. My catfish sandwich was hot and delicious...best catfish ever. Not too "catfishy." My fries were good, but my son's home made potato chips were thick and delicious...best ever! Pleasant service. There's nothing else down here for a backup plan, so call ahead if you're not sure. read more

If only they would spend a little more on quality ingredients for their food. This spot has so much potential but would greatly benefit from new management. The food is just so bad. I keep trying different things hoping it gets better but it never does. Can you start with using good, real mozzarella on your pizza and better sauce? There isn't much else in this area as far as dining by boat so I guess they don't have to have good good but I sure wish they did read more

We had dinner at Magnum Point Marina. We arrived at 6:30 pm Friday night, and about an hour later the place was full. Our server was great. The food was delicious, I had the grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries, The fries were the best I have ever had. The grilled chicken was prepared well. My sister enjoyed her pizza. It looked so good. Others at our table had the Cheese Steak with grilled onions and Chopped Steak with 2 sides. They also enjoyed their meals. Nice atmosphere with good music. It was a great evening and we recommend dining at Magnum Point Marina. read more

Magnum Point Marina - Yum - Marinas Near Me - Union Hall, Virginia

The restaurant ant Magnum Point Marina is one of the best places to eat on the lake. Always homemade food, tasty and generous portions as well. Service is always great and friendly, no matter how busy they are. Sitting in the outdoor section is fun and relaxing. In the summer the large windows are removed to allow for a nice breeze while sitting up above the Blackwater river which gives a nice view of the Blackwater. Lots of great choices on the menu too. We always enjoy our time at Magnum point. Friendly people, and wonderful and fresh food! Give em a try. Open all year long. read more

Nice, casual place on the water. We pulled up on the water. Really enjoyed their catfish tacos- the slaw was delicious. The Reuben was also yummy. Only thing we didn't enjoy was the fried chicken sandwich- we think it was a frozen party so I would skip it. Covid: One waitress was wearing a mask. No one else was (staff or customs). read more

Great views of the lake and food is reasonably priced. The pizza is good and they have carry out. It's an overall good place to eat and convenient from the water. Ample parking along with seating inside or out. read more

I like to start with something positive. The cooks were great. The hostess and waitstaff need correction from the owner. The hostess was very rude and short in her manners, She did not make our group ( who were first-timers) feel welcome. We waited over an hour for our food and we had another engagement we had to attend to. Knowing we could not wait any longer, we requested the food to go. After we asked about it, A gentleman with black hair, told us it was being packaged up and would be out in 5 minutes. The food did not arrive when he stated it would and the staff was trying to pull the wool over our eyes by giving us stall tactics. We wasted our time at this establishment and received lousy service. I'm so disappointed that no one stepped up to the plate and just told us the truth or let us know what was going on. read more

Great food & friendly people with terrific views of the lake. Indoor & outdoor seating.

Great place on the lake to stop in, good service, good outdoor dining Quite a few slips for parking, better than most lake restaurants

The food is amazing after you been play on the water all day. The food is a little pricey for how much you get but I totally recommend this place. read more

Cute restaurant, love the outdoor area! Catfish tacos were great and a good portion for the price. Great views of the water. Only issue is that there was no music playing read more

Weekend breakfast buffet. It was OK. The wait staff was not happy to be there. Disappointed but not condemning a nice little spot.

Great place to hang out and have a drink with friends. They have done a nice job with adding overhead protection for the outdoor seating. If it's a pleasant evening, be sure and sit outside, food is good and reasonably priced. read more

Have been down for breakfast that was really good and then went back for a pizza and cheese stick appetizer. Food came out hot and was ready really fast. Sat outside where it was a little bit cold, but they had a gas stove going to keep us warm. Great view. read more

What a great find! The Magnum burger has pulled pork and coleslaw on it topped with a sesame bun. Probably the best burger I've ever had! Great service too. Will be back soon to try their homemade calzones. read more

We got there before there was a wait and sat right away. Got drinks and ordered at relatively normal pace. After we ordered, it took an hour to get our food. The waitress we were supposed to have came to our table only once to set down our food, another waitress got everything else. Felt like our table had been forgotten or we were being ignored. 3/4 of our meals were good. I would advise against the Philly Cheesesteak. read more

This was my first visit for lunch and it was great. We had 13 People we came in 2 boats. Plenty of spaces to dock easy in and out. We had drinks and late lunch on the deck overlooking the water. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I really enjoyed the fried pickles and wings. read more

Magnum Point Marina - Great dockside restaurant and grill on the water. - Marinas Near Me - Union Hall, Virginia

Magnum Point Marina is a go-to spot after doing a half-day charter on Smith Mountain Lake to go fishing. We had the catfish, hotdog and coleslaw, home fries, a beer, and sweet tea. A great meal to fill up, and great atmosphere with great people. read more

Our main goal for the night was to watch SMLs famous sunsets. As this restaurant faces the West, do not get your hopes up. We were seated quickly on a weekend night with a large party. Service was quick and friendly- order the fried pickles, skip the white pizza. Our main complaint for the night was the entertainment. The live performer was overbearing and not quite as crowd pleasing as he may have thought. All in all, one for the money, none for the show. read more

We try to make it there a few times a week. We love Loretta, Lauren and the rest of the staff. You feel at home there. Great burgers, love the pizza. Actually everything we've had has been good. read more

Found this spot my chance but weren't disappointed. Good food good service snd very enjoyable seating on the deck .

Four of us tried the restaurant at this marina yesterday on the recommendation of Paulette at LakeScapes. The owners of old LaTrattoria Restaurant on Old Franklyn Highway have partnered with the owners of the Ice Cream bar here at Magnum Marina and have combined their menus. The service was fabulous, the menu extensive, and the catch of the day (catfish) and the fish tacos & homemade chips were great. We'll be back soon to try more items on the menu. read more

Love this place! Best burger on the lake, brunch is great when they have the menu not thrilled with the buffet. Pizza is great nice view. Definitely recommend this place read more

We had two meals here on our trip to Smith Mountain Lake. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and included eggs, bacon, sausage patties, grits, biscuits and gravy, and fresh hot coffee! We enjoyed so much we went back for lunch. Highly recommend the fish tacos. They were fresh, tasty, and came with a mango salsa that was outstanding. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Our experience was so good we stopped for ice cream on our way out, which was just as amazing. We are looking forward to visiting again! read more

Awesome little honey hole on the water. Great food, original drinks menu, great view and the service was perfect, made suggestions, not clingy and super pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

This is our go to restaurant summer and winter. They serve a variety of food and the quality is consistent. It can get busy in summer so expect it not to be fast food during the summer weekends. Order a drink and enjoy the great water views. I know the staff and all are friendly and doing their best to make your meal enjoyable. read more

There was only one (1) other table in the place and we waited over 90 minutes for our dinners..that was only after going in twice to see what the problem was... We had ordered a pizza and fried catfish... The catfish was ok not as good as Union Station in Bedford even sub-par for the lake.... The service can only be as good as the Kitchen and Management...If I could give you a minus 5 I would. You comped the food but ruined the evening.... Steer Clear of this FAILING ESTABLISHMENT.... We have lived full time on the lake for 10 years never experienced such lack of Customer Service. Frustrated and just well I am exasperated at this point....Wendy's would have been a better choice....the owner showed up at the end of the fiasco but never addressed the Elephant in the room. Check my reviews they are spot on don't waste your time..... read more

We eat there quite often. We love their meat pizza and white pizza. So good as leftovers too! We have had sandwiches as well. Always good. We need to check out their breakfasts which we hear are great! read more

ordered hamburger well done, salad, club sandwich with veggies. burger was undercooked, veggies were bland. salad was small but okay. with one beer, tab was $29. oh, and the picture of Lying Trump on the wall means we'll never go there again....... read more

Stumbled upon this gem. Have been there about 4 times now. The service is great! Lauren takes the time to get to know her customers and it's truly a wonderful experience. The food is quite good. I enjoyed a grilled fish taco with mango salsa and a cold beer! Tasted like summer! I have also had the salad. The salad was fresh. The place is clean and well kept. I highly recommend it. read more

We have been going to the marina for years. The server was friendly, the food was good, but the young woman who greeted us at the door was directly rude to us. I don't believe my husband and I have ever been treated so rudely at a restaurant. Later on our way out we noticed that she lowered her mask and smiled at three loud men who came to the bar, one wearing an "orgasm" shirt. Too bad- I don't know if we'll ever go back. read more

They have a VERY basic menu, but a decent hamburger for someone coming in by boat or jetski. You can launch a boat here as well.

These guys were great and helped me out. Had our older family boat repaired and it runs like a top! Very helpful and pleasant to work with.

If you are there for breakfast - and hungry - ask for the K36. Does not disappoint. Best breakfast on the lake!
