    Nice place to chill out and have a bite to eat on the lake. Food was good, just wish the shrimp on the po boy was normal shrimp size not popcorn shrimp. Service was efficient and attentive. Definitely will go back

    We wandered around the lake and stumbled upon The Boathouse on a busy Sunday evening. The restaurant was lively! A few tables for outdoor seating, and a handful indoors if you prefer to enjoy the AC. Our server, Megan, was attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the cheeseburger (came with fries), and my fiancé ordered the patty melt. The cheeseburger was good. The meals were very generously sized. Lots of families enjoying their meals here after a long day out on the lake!

    Came for lunch. Nice little unassuming restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, although it was too hot for us to sit out. Bacon blue cheese burger, Nashville hot chicken, and the Philly were all good. Rum punch and jalapeño pineapple margarita were good too. Our server was friendly and did her job well. Will returns when in the area enjoying the lake.

    We've ate here twice now while boating on lake Lavon. Easy to tie up, dock and restaurant are clean, and the staff is very friendly. They have clean high chairs for the kiddos. Everything we've had there is delicious. Mostly we get chips and queso blanco and the quesadillas. Be sure to try their house margarita or frozen! Our friend had the Philly cheesesteak today and said it's the best he's ever had. Definitely stop here for lunch or dinner if you are on the lake!

    The lakeside appeal isn't what makes this place great, that fault lies within the walls and is attributed to a pair of family friendly owners who are turning this place around. I had the burger of the week which was a hatch green chili burger with a side of fries. The burger was cooked very well, and fries were seasoned perfectly. Some might call this place a "hole-in-the-wall" but I think of it more as an un/re-discovered gem. The beer was cold, food was great, and it is on the lake. Winning all around. Was great from the owners conversation, to the sweet waitress, to the chef. Really good people!

    Creekside Fine Grill - Hot crab and shrimp dip

    We knew we were in for a great night at Creekside Fine Grill when we sat down and saw the room…read morefilled with a mix of families, couples, and regulars who clearly knew this place well. There is a certain energy in a restaurant when people trust it, and Creekside has that. We started with the crab and shrimp dip, which came out hot, creamy, and loaded with flavor. It is one of those appetizers that everyone at the table keeps going back to without even thinking about it. For dinner, we ordered the Red Snapper Alexander and the chicken cutlet parmesan, and this is where the night really took off. The red snapper was cooked perfectly, topped with sautéed shrimp in a white wine sauce that added flavor without overwhelming the fish. The balance was impressive, and the presentation matched what you would expect from a much higher priced restaurant. Then there was the chicken parmesan. As Italians, we do not say this lightly, but this dish stood out in a big way. Creekside blends Alfredo and marinara into a creamy, well-balanced sauce that takes a classic and elevates it. The chicken was lightly breaded, the mozzarella was fresh, and every bite delivered. We awarded this dish our Best of the Best for Chicken Parmesan, and that is something we reserve for dishes that truly separate themselves from the rest. Service was excellent throughout the night. Our server Erin was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped guide us to some great choices. One small note, the fish and chips did not quite match the level we had experienced on a previous visit. It was still good, just not at the same level we had come to expect. That said, it did not take away from what was otherwise a fantastic meal. If you are looking for a place that delivers an upscale feel without the upscale price tag, this is it. Great for date nights, family dinners, or just a night out where you want consistently good food.
