A prime water front restaurant on Smith Mountain Lake. More dive bar feel, but third generation run…read more(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.

Wow what a surprise! The fish here are INSANE. I'm shocked I never heard of this place. Yeah it's a…read morenice little gas stop/bite to eat, but I was not expecting there to be basically a fish pool here. You can purchase popcorn and other snacks for the fish to eat, then all you have to do from there is put your feet in the water and wait. The fish will nibble on your toes (no worries - it doesn't hurt) and almost jump out of the water for food. Don't pick up the fish or hurt them please. And watch your kids while they're feeding them.

May want to also consider charging less for gas than your full service competitors that are right around the corner. Gas here was at least$0.50 more a gallon than their full service competitors. I'm sure that equates to extra profit from their boat rental customers that don't know any better. We will only be back if it's our only option.

Smith Mountain Lake is my 33rd VA State Park. Its not one of my Favorites because, after my…read morechildren are grown, I really dont play in the water. I may swim in a pool but I dont jet ski, or boat, or fish. I dont like to buy food from the food shacks and it seemed to me, the space allotted for swimming was small anyway. They did have hiking trails. I took a two mile trail hike, took pictures and started on my way to James River SP.

I had no plan to rent a boat but the fleet looked well cared for (almost new) and I jumped. The crew was really nice and helpful. I took out a "Tritoon"with a 200hp Yamaha. The lake is huge and there is some amazing sightseeing. I found a cove, anchored, finished up some work and then went for a swim. My 2 hour rental flew by and when I arrived back at the dock, the crew was waiting to help dock and replace my used fuel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For a spur of the moment adventure it was amazing. I highly recommend Bridgewater Marine.

The owner greeted us in his Grateful Dead shirt like a boss. I felt at home already. There was a nice little food area and ice cream spot. Some very green grass with some corn hole boards and other good vibes stuff. We decided to get some pizza and wings from the restaurant. Morgan was our server for a party of 11 and she did an excellent job. Our pizza and wings were very good. They had sweet tea, I wasn't sure if this counted as "the south" still or not but it was perfect. Our bill was only $125 for several large pies, 24 wings, and mostly sodas. Will be back next time we are on the lake!
