This was one of the worst experiences I've had a business. Not only was the service horrible, slow…read moreand rude but the atmosphere in the restaurant was gross and tacky. The restaurant was covered in horrendous ai stickers which were being sold for outrageous prices. However the ridiculous pricing didn't stop there. The food was laughably priced. 9 dollars for a sandwich, not including a drink or a side. A side was 7 dollars and a drink 3 and I'm rounding down. When ordering the ladies there were obviously not enthused and had no care on how long people might wait. They even forgot my mother's drink and made her pay for another. Once again the inside was dirty. When the food, ever so slowly, came we sat outside. I will admit that was the only nice part, we sat outside with an umbrella shading us. When finally seeing the food I almost had hope that it might be good, not enough to justify the exorbitant pricing but good. The sandwhich looked big and the onion rings looked well fried. However when I took a bite of the sandwich I was extremely disappointed. Not a lick of seasons and the patty was absolutely disgustingly cheap and tough. You would be better off at McDonalds. The onion rings while more visually appealing were also quite bland. And the size of the large drink was not nearly big enough to justify the price. The real kicker is for three people it was almost 80 dollars. It would be better to eat at McDonalds and get ice cream at fudgee's in the next town over.

Dockside on Torch Lake is such a fun, laid-back spot with the perfect small-town marina vibes! It's…read moresuper conveniently located, especially if you're spending the day out on the lake, and you can dock your boat right there after a long day of boating. It's such a great place to grab a bite, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was fast and exceptional. Our food came out quickly and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. We started with the fried pickles, which were SO good! Although, I have to say, they may want to consider renaming them because they were actually more like a ham, cheese, and pickle egg roll--and honestly, I'm not mad about it because they were delicious! We also ordered the shrimp tacos, which were super flavorful and yummy, and the signature cheeseburger with everything on it, which was cooked absolutely perfectly. Everything hit the spot after being out on the lake. We got the onion rings which were perfectly crispy and sweet potato fries that maybe could've been a fried a little bit longer but still good! Definitely a great casual spot to stop by if you're spending the day on Torch Lake. The convenient location, fun marina atmosphere, quick service, and solid food make this a place I'd happily come back to!

We…read morewere running tardy for our reservations due to flooded roads, but the staff was very understanding. Placed at a cozy table indoors & bottled water arrived immediately. Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week
