    Chips not fries. Fix the menu

    First and last time here. More of a bar. We ordered the fries with blue cheese and cajun seasons. Raw fries. Well its not fries. It's potato chips with hot sauce, not cajun seasoning and blue cheese. Then I asked for the grouper bites. They also had a grouper plate so I asked if the plate had the bites not a big piece of fish. She said both were the same. Well no bites. Big pieces of fish that came from a frozen bag. The crust was soggy and falling off the fish. So if you want to come get drunk then it's probably the place but to eat. Its all made from frozen bags. So it does come out quickly. They don't deserve a one star. They need better bar food for Lake Murray. Ended up writing a review on their Facebook page as well. And instead of making it right. The owner commented back with making fun of my review and tagging his small followers to attack me. I deleted them and their comments. His bar/ slash want to be good food in a plaza ain't right ti attacking bad reviews. He will attack you back on FB.

    This was a nice surprise! I had won a gift certificate to this place almost a year ago, and it was getting ready to expire. So, we ended up here for dinner. It's a no-frill place, but good. Our dinner was fabulous!! The portions were generous, and the prices were right. We fed three adults for around $25.00. I ordered the salad, and it was HUGE!! Very good, and lots of toppings. My date had the pork tenderloin sandwich and he said it was excellent! My son had the hamburger steak with mushrooms and onions. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. The waitress was very attentive and never let our glasses get empty. We were invited to stay for trivia, held each Wednesday at 8:00 or 8:30, start time depending on how many people where there at the time. We will definitely return, and next time we'll stay for trivia so we can win gift certificates!! Try it, you'll like it!!

We have gone to this establishment for years and were a bit disappointed to see how limited the choices are with entrées. I had the Caesar salad with salmon. I did not care for the dressing, as it was not the normal Caesar I am accustomed to. My husband had a salad with steak. He thoroughly enjoyed his entrée and was pleased, discovering it to be ribeye. We especially miss the skillet appetizers and the pasta/seafood entrée.

We started off with some fried green tomatoes.  Everyone does their little twist on them and this place did the same.  Personally, I am good with them as is and maybe some remoulade for dipping.  Here they had a pepper sauce that came with them and cheese melted atop the FGTs.  Not bad and nothing killed or overpowered the flavor from the FGTs.  However, I did wish that the pepper sauce had a bit more kick.  I cannot remember the name but the drink of the much was a peach based drink.  It was good and it was not just some peach flavored alcohol but it was made with peach puree.  They had me at peach when she ran through the specials.    For the main entrée it was the ribeye at a medium rare with fries and asparagus.   You get a choice of a bordelaise or garlic aioli to accompany your steak or whatever you want to dip in it.  Steak was cooked to the medium rare as I requested and that is a good start because we know there those places that consider what you ask for as just a suggestion.  Good flavor from the steak with no need for the sauce as I found out and I just enjoy asparagus.    Good experience.  Despite this being my first time here this place gave the vibe as a solid choice.  One of those places where when you are unsure of what you want but don't want to risk something new because you are hungry or with someone who cannot come to terms with their food desires.  This is a that old, trusted place you can rely on when you are hungry and good service.  A first experience that went very well.

Everyone love CAtfish Johnnys. The staff seemed afraid to be too nice and the manager literally told someone near me he cancelled all bands or did not book any rock bands or have any bands on Fridays because it brought in 'that crowd'. He wants to focus on Families and cut down on alcohol and certain appetizers that attract them. . There is that. Sooooo... Oh service was slow, we ordered three or 4 of the same exact item and all three came completely different. Shrimp was fried on one, Shrimp was cooked another way on the 2nd and Anyway the plates looked like completely different orders. The drinks were made the same- all different even when ordering the same drink. We did not complain as it clearly was not the servers fault. We will remember the manager pretty much insulted all previous patrons which includes a lot of people with boats and money and laughs. Although he wanted to focus on Families, I saw no more or any security or extra security around the water so do not expect extra safety for your children and there may have been but I didn't notice an expanded children's menu. I think the prices may have been higher too. Enjoy the new Knotted Marina and bring your own music you may not see any of your favorite oldskool bands. I normally get a Togo meal to bring home. I did not this trip. The manager may not have known he was talking to one of the bands that previously played there. I really used to love this place. We shall see

This was my first time experiencing this venue, and I honestly was pleasantly surprised. From being greeted at the door and shown to our table, ordering our food to even having our waitresses snap a few photo's to document our visit, I was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and willing to offer suggestions, and see our food was prepared promptly, and to our tastes. We chose to visit during lunch, so I ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich which came with fries, and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the fish & chips, which he said was also very delicious, his wife ordered shrimp with hushpuppy's, and I tried one, that cinnamon butter sauce pairs very with with the hush puppy's. The atmosphere for a lunch crowd was very chill, some soft music playing in the background, but not overpowering to limit conversation, the staff was friendly, and the food was tasty, with decent portions, and more importantly - Reasonably Priced. I can't wait to return again soon, and bring some friends along to share a new spot to enjoy some terrific food at Liberty On The Lake.

It only allowed me to order through a food delivery service. I live 200 ft away so I was just gonna walk there and pick it up. If there was a way for me to order online without a delivery service, then it wasn't clear to me on the website. The food was okay at best. I got the fish n chips. It was good...not great...just good. Fish was fried well and the fries were tasty. The person at the desk who took my order and the girl standing beside her acted as if seeing me was the last thing they wanted to do that day. I placed the order, asked where to wait for the food, and one girl said "you can't stand right there, wait outside, sit at the bar...I don't care where you wait" in a very snide and rude tone. The person who brought the food to me asked my name, handed me the food, and walked away. I said thank you but she was just gone. I left saying "have a good day" and the host at the register just stared at me. From what I could see of the inside, it looked nice. Probably won't be back to see more of the restaurant. For a place of high esteem as Liberty Tap Room, it definitely failed me on the service portion. Major turn off for me.
