Located within the Collin County Park Marina on Lake Lavon there is a gatehouse that is staffed but…read morethey will waive your admission fee if you simply let them know you are just going to the restaurant. Parking close to the restaurant can be challenging as this is an active marina as well as a county park. But you can park easily within walking distance. That being said your access to the restaurant is via walkways to the marina boat slips. The restaurant is literally on the water so you'll have boaters, park goers etc all around. It's a nice atmosphere. The restaurant food, they have a fairly large menu of offerings from appetizers , burgers & regular entrees as well as specials. For those seeking to enjoy beverages, they have what I interpret as plenty of choices for adult beverages as well as the regular soda options. Staff are attentive & working constantly to ensure customers are served. Burger we enjoyed was the Bleu Cheese which came with fries & an appetizer of cream cheese filled pepper slices all of which were delicious. We'll definitely go back and they also have live music at times as well.

Let me start out saying it's a boathouse, not a fine dining Michelin Star kind of place. When you…read moreput it in perspective I rate this place a "good" category, because what this place does really well is provide a fun, safe, atmosphere to dock your boat and grab a pretty ok bite to eat and/or drinks and get entertained. Tonight I had the Southwest Eggrolls Appetizer and the for my main, I got a Breakfast Sandwich. Both were good! They excel in Customer service. I was really impressed with our server and she did an excellent job with our big party. A couple of quick suggestions they could instantly improve upon...1) fans our on the patio/deck. It was really hot out there and there was NO air circulation. The second thing was the restroom. It was nasty, like lose your appetite kind of nasty.

We weren't too hungry so we opted for potato skins and cheese sticks and sat at the bar. Dawn was the bartender, she was great. Told us about Leonard, the restaurant and was great to chat with. We had so much fun that we came back the next night and brought the whole wedding party. I think we overwhelmed them but you'd never know by the way they all chipped in together to get everyone drinks and whatever they needed. Dawn was the bartender the second night as well. She's even more fabulous under pressure. Patient, kind and showed a lot of grace to our rowdy group. Leas, the people of Leonard and the fun Saturday karaoke added even more memories to a wonderful night. Thank you Dawn, people of Leonard, and everyone who jumped in to help take care of such a big group. Your little local place rocks

The Chicken Francese was really good and I will definitely order it again. My husband loved his food as well a the bite that I fried was tasty. The meatball sub was big and my toddler loved it.

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.

The fried cheese curds and fried pickles made great appetizers. My guys had burgers with fried okra, squash, and zucchini as sides, and I ordered the shrimp dinner with green beans, and mashed potatoes Everything tasted delicious, hot, & fresh, and we ordered a hand spun vanilla shake and slice of German chocolate cake to-go for dessert The best part of our visit today though was our waitress! Satori provided wonderful service and was so friendly and kind. Even our 12 year old commented on how personable she was towards us. Keep up the fantastic work, Satori! Great first impression of Twisted Sisters Cafe, highly recommend! Will be back soon to try their breakfast!

We've lived around here for ages and every single time we drove past, we'd say, "One day!" Well, that day came, and we bravely joined the queue, fully prepared for a long haul. To our absolute delight, we were whisked away to a table in barely 15 minutes! Can you believe it? I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner - that wait was nothing! As soon as we sat down, they brought out a glorious spread of chips, salsa, and refreshing waters. Our waiter was super friendly and gave us plenty of time to pore over the menu, which, let me tell you, is massive! They've got a fantastic selection, leaning heavily towards authentic Mexican dishes (which you know I adore!), but with some delicious Tex-Mex options thrown in too. We went all out and ordered a feast: sizzling fajitas, delectable street tacos, savory beef enchiladas, tasty chicken enchiladas, and a hearty stew meat burrito. Of course, we did the obligatory plate-passing to get a taste of everything. And honestly? Every single dish was out-of-this-world good! My absolute standout favorite had to be the beef enchiladas with their rich red sauce. It was so incredibly flavorful, and what I loved most was that they didn't drown it in queso - it was perfectly balanced and just, ah-mazing! A little tip if you're thinking of going: try to hit them up earlier in the day if you can, when it's less busy, and you'll practically walk right in. They've also got a full bar and some fun music playing overhead, adding to the whole vibe. Just a heads up, when it's packed, it can get a bit loud, but honestly, it just adds to the lively atmosphere. All in all, it was an absolutely delightful experience, and we're already planning our next visit!

As we walked in, the workers looked at us as they sat in the back, eating, but didn't say anything. We weren't sure if we can seat ourselves or have to wait to be seated. I said it out loud and then a female waitress said we can sit down anywhere. She was so soft spoken that I could barely make out what she was saying. We placed our orders. I had the Strawberry Banana Pancakes. They came out looking great, however, the strawberries up top were spoiled and tasted awful and rotten. Looks can certainly be deceiving. Sadly, the bananas were soaked in the strawberry syrup, which ruined the top and bottom pancakes of the stack. I was only able to eat the two in the middle and had to cut some pieces off as to not get food poisoning, since they were drenched in the spoiled strawberry syrup. When the waitress came back to ask if we were done eating, I let her know to throw out the strawberries, as they were spoiled and disgusting. She just said "ok." No apologies, no inkling of concern or care. Nothing. We then waited like two weirdos for over 20+ minutes for the check, while she went to sit down again with her family at the back table to continue eating. They must have overheard us being confused at where we can pay, when she finally got up and said that we can pay at the front and walked over with us. I was charged full price for the garbage rotten pancakes that I didn't eat. Horrible service. Watch out so you don't get poisoned, especially in the summer when fruits can spoil quickly when not properly stored.
