    Fresh pies

    Today we were actually on the way to IHOP in Saginaw, but decided to give Texan Diner a try since it's been a while. When we arrived right before noon it was popping with people! All the tables were occupied so much so that there were no menus available. Not a problem since we used Yelp to peruse anyway. I haven't had a Monte Cristo sandwich since Sweetipies Decatur closed, and theirs was a smidge too sweet for me. So why not try Texan Diner's? It's savory with the bacon, eggs and Swiss cheese all packed between deliciously made French toast, and topped with powdered sugar! It's served with jalapeno raspberry jam which gives it a little more sweet, not overly. It's a huge sandwich and my goodness I devoured it. My daughter enjoyed her Rajun Cajun sandwich which is what I almost ordered. And my husband said his meatloaf was delicious (what he ordered four years ago). Our toddler got a chocolate chip pancake plate which she asked for more, of course! Customer service was amazing, our server was Olivia! Thank you Olivia!!

    I had to laugh...restaurant was described as fancy. While my sis was having her Nails done I decided to give this rest a try. I've seen it many times but the name and location didn't grab me. Ordered the meatloaf, prepared at the restaurant with gravy, Garlic mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, green beans. I couldn't help but notice the dessert case and went for it. What arrived was scrumptious! Excellently prepared and tasty. The blue negative critique is the greens beans, potato's and Mac n cheese arrive "cold". The meatloaf and gravy was piping hot. Regardless the food was delicious. Meatloaf was wonderful, Wrapped in bacon and topped with breaded stringed onions. The gravy was homemade. It's billed as a shiner Brock brown gravy and it compliments the potatoes and meatloaf perfectly. Th green beans are freshly prepared and seasoned. Mashed potatoes had the right amount of garlic. Enjoyed them. The highlight was the Mac N cheese. It was cheesy. Yo could taste the cheddar. Superb! Finally, Triple coconut cream Pie with coffee. It turned my whole day around. Both were fantastic and tasty. Classic lesson for today...don't judge a book by its cover. I'll be back...with family and Friends!

    Omg, never been here before- but Damn this is definitely the best breakfast I've ever had! The pancakes were so soft and easy to cut into!!! But waitress was so nice and funny with cracking jokes with us. Love the open space and it was very clean and airy. Definitely will be back!

    I came in not expecting much but I loved it!…read more The service, food, and food was all great. We sat down at the bar for a little lake-side lunch date and had the pleasure of being served by the lovely bartender (wish I could remember her name). I ordered a mule and grilled chicken sandwich (yum) and my partner had some beers and a fried fish plate. The portion sizes are huge which of course we loved and the menu pricing is totally reasonable too. If I find myself close by, I'll definitely be stopping be again! Perhaps on the patio next time. :)

    Well, our last visit might be our last visit. When you have to get your own drink from the bar…read morebecause it's been sitting there getting warm while your server is on his phone, and when your food is finally served it's overly salty and room temperature, maybe it's time to go elsewhere. I know new owners took over within the last year, and we were hopeful the changes would be good. They've added trivia night and music bingo night (common schtick stuff to bring in business), there are a lot of new faces (staff and patrons), and prices have gone up while service and food quality are going down. Here's a business model idea: instead of packing the place with the karaoke night crowd, provide proper training for your staff to ensure stand-out food and service--that'll pack the place with regulars (like we used to be) who become the bread and butter of your establishment.

As the community that lives around the marina we will miss this family restaurant and wish them well on their next adventure. Dear Friends, Family, and the Wonderful Community of Eagle Mountain Lake, With a heart full of gratitude and a touch of bittersweet emotion, I'm writing to share that Sammy's on the Lake will be closing its doors. Since opening in 2019, we've had the honor of serving more than just great food and lakeside views--we've had the privilege of building a community. What started as a dream quickly turned into a place where strangers became regulars, and regulars became friends who feel like family. Every laugh shared across a table, every celebration, every quiet moment watching the water together--it all means more to us than words can express. To our incredible customers: Thank you for showing up, through every season and every storm. You supported us during the hardest times, especially through the uncertainties of COVID-19 and the long, cold winter months that would have closed many other doors. Your loyalty, your warmth, your presence--it's what kept us going. To the musicians who sang, played, and entertained us--thank you for filling our space with music, energy, and soul. Your talent brought our patio to life, set the tone for countless memories, and made Sammy's more than a restaurant--it made it a place to gather, dance, and celebrate. We are so grateful for every note and every night you spent with us. To the staff who've been part of this journey: You are the heart and soul of Sammy's. Every dish, every smile, every late night--we did it all together. We love you all deeply, and we are endlessly proud of the work we did and the family we built. And to the marina owners and staff--thank you for your unwavering support and partnership over the years. You welcomed us, and helped make this little spot by the water a true home. Although this chapter is closing, we are choosing to end it with a grateful and joyful heart. Sammy's on the Lake was more than a restaurant--it was a shared dream lived out with the best people we could have asked for. And now, as we pass the torch to a new owner, The Anchor on Eagle Mountain Lake ! we hope you'll join us in welcoming them with the same warmth and support you gave us. We are excited to see what the future brings for this beautiful place we've all come to love. Thank you, from the bottom of our heart's for every memory. With love and gratitude, The Molina Family

    What a great find on a beautiful day! The weather was perfect for sitting on the patio!…read more The burger was piping hot and delicious! Topped with tomato, pickles and lettuce. The onion rings were crisp and delicious. Service was good. The tables could have been cleaner. Prices for food were great. Burger and onion rings was $10! Tall beer on draft $6.50 and Yea was $2.50.

    Time to update: I…read moreplaced a mobile order for drinks, hotdogs and an order of tots. The drinks were made how I ordered them they even actually had nerds. The last time I visited and paid for nerds, they were out and didn't even tell me. My tots were not even warm, they were cooler than room temp. So I don't know how long they sat out or if they were fresh. And our hotdogs didn't have my requested pickles on them, again. So I set my pickup time for 1:30 and I arrived right on time, but they didn't bring my order out until ten minutes past my scheduled time. The guy that brought my order to my truck was nice though.

Saw the reviews for their new smash burgers and decided to give em a try. My sister swears by Sonic and so off we went. Let me start by saying it was absolutely delicious. Ordered a double cheeseburger, added tomatoes, extra pickle and lettuce and it was a messy, juicy, mouth watering experience. I recommend they wrap in foil like their other burgers though vs a box. And the bun....so darn good. Their French fries were perfectly salted and I love crinkle cut fries. Both were served hot! My sis ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon. Loved it. She loves their mozzarella sticks. We literally ate here twice in one week....both times super fast service and the burgers were delicious. Head scratcher. We also ordered a double plain for my Gerberian Shepsky... that's a bougie way of saying part German Shepherd, and part Siberian husky. We all 3 ate in the truck and loved it. It's The small things!
