Island House is pretty much a dive bar. But this dive bar is staffed with ultra kind and…read moreaccommodating people. 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.

Island House updated their food menu. The food is good and the crowd is great. Easy to come by boat.read more

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?! Summary: If you're in the area and are looking for a place to eat, check out the restaurant masquerading as a house in the center of Buckeye Lake.

I had the walleye dinner with baked potato and coleslaw. It was fantastic. Fresh walleye given in a generous portion. This has the feel of places I grew up with in southern Ohio in the 70s and 80s. The prices were amazing. My dinner was under $13 bucks which is half what you would pay in Columbus. The breakfast items looked huge and delicious so we will definitely be back to try those. Overall nostalgic small town restaurant vibes. Definitely check it out if you are in the Buckeye lake area.

One order was avocado toast, but the avocado was already brown and covered with random seasoning, plus bacon and egg on top. The other was just an egg and cheese sandwich with a tomato slice -- plain and unappealing. We ended up not eating the food at all and went to Hometown Hotdogs instead, where breakfast was fresh and delicious.

Wowie! Hidden place. Definitely a sleeper…read more The restaurant is an old 50s soda bar. Still has the bar set up. There are tons of board games for people of all ages. The milkshake was so delicious they served it in a soda shop glass and left the metal mixing cup. Stromboli was next to none. I've tried Stromboli in many states and this by far is my absolute favorite. The lady serving us was super busy and moving from table to table and she was so kind. The other people looked like high school kids just trying to work hard and make some money. Great small town feel. Help out local restaurants by supporting them and keeping the town working!

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 saw them putting pizzas into the ovens and taking them out, and it all looked incredibly tasty.) I did check out the game room, though, and I grabbed a cup of the Philly water ice. I think Lakebound Pizza is one of the only places in the area to find Philadelphia water ice, which they keep in a little freezer in the store. You'll find at least half a dozen flavors. I chose mango. It was icy cold and yummy, and the perfect frozen treat for a hot day. Like I mentioned, I also checked out the game room that they have here. It's a relatively new development, but they have a few arcade games, a basketball shoot game, and a selfie station. It's a neat little place in Buckeye Lake to hang out, play some games, get some pizza and Philly water ice, and enjoy your stay. What's even more surprising is that Lakebound Pizza has a huge gift shop on site. It's connected to the game area. So if you're looking for some lake-life goodies to take home, this is a place to find that.

Half of our food was good, half was really lacking, but sadly, the service was poor and affected…read morethe quality of our experience. We were seated behind a barrier, and after dropping off our entrees, our server disappeared. My husband realized that he hadn't been served any condiments with his fish & chips -- no tartar sauce, lemon, vinegar or ketchup, nor slaw. He waited a few minutes to dig in, figuring someone would pop around the corner and we'd catch their eye, or our own server would return to check on us. Nope. Meanwhile, hubby had tasted a few fries, which were barely warm and a bit flabby. He started to eat his fish, sans tartar, and said it was ok, but not super hot. Fish and chips out to come out of the fryer so fresh and hot that you need to wait a few minutes to eat it so you don't burn your mouth -- but not here. This food had been sitting around a while. A few other servers had checked on tables nearish to ours, but didn't give us so much as a glance, and didn't hear our loud "Excuse me!"s. We weren't thrilled at the prospect of having to get up and go to the bar or hostess station to get help. But because both our meals had become unenjoyable thanks to waiting over ten minutes for someone to happen by, I decided I'd go seek assistance. But just then, our server happened by. We flagged her down and asked for all the things that were missing. She glanced at my husband's still pretty full plate and her eyes popped a bit, clearly realizing that the sitch was not pleasing to us. She brought the missing condiments, but damage done at that point. It had been a little exhausting waiting around and keeping our eyes peeled for a passing server. The restaurant should make it more of a point to send servers through that lower seating area on the regular. It was a pretty mediocre dinner.

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.
