    FOOD- The food was fine, but it was the price that was INSANE!!! We bought 4 kids meals, and 2 meals that costs an insane price of $102!!! For me that's a bit over the top! SERVICE- Everyone was nice, but there wasn't really any service if that makes sense... Nobody brought the food out or anything like that, but overall all the employees were kind. ATMOSPHERE- The atmosphere was awesome! There is a pretty view, and a cool looking food truck inside to cook up your food! Everything was clean, cool, and quiet! The main reason I will give this a 3 star is because the atmosphere! I thought the atmosphere was awesome, but they need to improve pricing, and the food by a little bit... Maybe add some healthier options!

    Cool place!

    Food was absolutely amazing, we met some of the workers, they were so nice and extremely helpful! Even got to go on a electric boat ride

    Slow day breakfast. Tried the harbor bowl. Not much flavor to the eggs. Wouldn't order again. Bagel was good with cream cheese. I'd say average food quality and value.

    Really fun spot! Just got drinks so can't judge the food. Cheap cocktails and great atmosphere. Lots of kids running around and yard games

    There were only 3 of us on a chilly Saturday, it took 30 minutes to get our food and I would say it is the smallest portions around.

    Place is great, wish we found it sooner. Clean and easy. Don't overthink this - best coffee and super good breakfast. Go.

    Tasty quick food and a fun place to gather, especially outside in the warmer months, you can gas up at their boat dock, too.

    Nashville chicken sandwich was good. Fun atmosphere for families. On the river and live music on the Friday night we visited.

It was pretty undrinkable and the bartender wasn't the nicest. Not sure if it's an off night, but I would be hesitant to try it again.

It was pretty busy but we were able to snag a picnic table outside. They also have some limited indoor seating as well as a huge lawn where you can picnic or bring camp chairs. The space is definitely kid-friendly and they even have a sandbox. Dogs are allowed outside as well. The beer list is pretty extensive and it was fun to try some new things like a ginger-lemongrass cider and their passionfruit canned rose wine, which was so good I bought some to take home. They don't have their own kitchen, but there were two food trucks on site and their website says you can order takeout from a nearby restaurant too. They had a musician playing the night we were there and the vibes were chill and relaxed, which I liked. I'd definitely come back in the future if I'm up this way again!
