Great place to enjoy lunch or dinner after spending time on the water. We had dinner here Sunday evening, I went with the lobster salad on a croissant and my wife had the salmon BLT. Both sandwiches were excellent! We both had the fries, I originally wanted the potato salad, but they were out of it. I have a decent number of draft beers, however, most are very safe, a.k.a. boring brews. Additionally, they were out of the first two beers that I ordered. Place was packed with patrons Yes service was fairly efficient. One star deduction for being out of potato salad and the first of two menu beers that I ordered.

Pro's: 1. Lake view 2. Boat docking 3. Live music 4. Their hours of operation 5. Parking plentiful 6. They accomodate large parties 7. Waitlist available on line 8. Pizza Con's: 1. Service (inconsistent) 2. Food (inconsistent) 3. It can be really loud- if that bothers you

Wait time was reasonable for a Friday night, service was great, atmosphere was loud and fun, beautiful views of the water, and food was great. Live music was great as well! Service was so great that when my partner lost his ring down the sink drain, the General manager (who happened to be at the bar) shot right up and did it with a smile on his face. We took my sister from out of state here and we will DEFINITELY be going back!

Good service and tasty food continue. On a Thursday night around 6:45, not too busy and got seated and ordered in under 5 minutes. I ordered the fish tacos and she had the salad with salmon on top. Food was tasty and hot. Eating on the lake is always nice. We will be back.

Nice view of the lake Lots of outside or covered places to eat. We got kids meal corn dog, adult grilled cheese, blt for desert you must have the milton lava cake or the funnel fries!

Nachos

It took me a while to come and eat here but I am so glad we did. The atmosphere is great, like being in the keys... very casual. Service from our waitress couldn't have been better and the food was pretty good too! We sat at a hightop next to the water, had a couple of drinks & watched people coming in and out with their boats. We ordered nachos, fish dip, potato skins & fish and chips (which we had fries and onion straws-YUM!) All were perfect. We will continue to be back and bring our guests from SoFla :-)

There are many places to eat by the lake but I particularly enjoy this place! Yes there is usually a wait but it's worth it and you can always grab a drink at the to go bar while your waiting. The food is really good and so is service ! Our server Bacon was awesome he recommended us to great drinks and the food came out fairly quickly. The live music was great as well! I have zero complaints about this place !

Go for the drinks & view, not so much for quality of food.

Terrible service and terrible food. The only decent stuff is the bar food. Don't order seafood whatever you do.

Our first visit here and it will not be our last. Our main courses were delicious!…read moreWe started with the onion rings which were good. There was more breading than onion, but still tasty. Probably would not order again. The hamburger was HUGE and the best burger I've tasted in quite a while. The Monte Cristo was also very good with the jelly. It was sweet and yummy. I ordered a side salad with the vinaigrette and it was not great. There was a lot of stuff in the salad, but not a lot of lettuce. I would not order a salad again. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was not very busy. The service was good as our server checked on us several times. The food came out within about 25 minutes of ordering. I look forward to another visit and trying more items in the menu. ***Or we may go on a Monday for $10.99 hamburgers!

It had been a minute since I've been here so I decided to meet a friend for lunch because she's…read morenever been. Needless to say she LOVED it! I used a birthday coupon for a free appetizer and got us the onion rings.... why? Because they are the BEST ONION RINGS I've ever had and they are my favorite appetizer! My next favorite place for rings is Bare Bones in Buford. My friend also said they were OUTSTANDING so if you've never had them here you are definitely missing out! Also, my favorite cocktail is the All American margarita here. I don't even like margaritas but I LOVE this one. Not only is it only $8.75 for the fishbowl size it is a beautiful layered drink and I can get a sugar rim. I don't think they use a run of the mill mixer in it because it never gives me heartburn and every other place that I've had one did, except D'Floridan's watermelon one which is excellent too! Our server Hayley (if I remember correctly I think that was her name) was great. Checking on us regularly and we told her we had catching up to do so would she mind if we took up her table for a couple of hours (it was not busy) she said please do! Of course, we tipped her really well because both myself and my friend have been servers in the past. My friend had the big salad and not a morsel was left on her plate she complained of being too full due to the onion rings and salad! I had the Monte Cristo with fire fries and told her to bring a to go box for mine because it would be dinner. Both of us had to try the fire fries and they were scrumptious but you must like spicy because they are...Hayley asked me if I wanted a side of ranch when she took my order and I said yes because I had had them before and the ranch cools them down. My friend thought they were sweet potato fries boy was she surprised and she actual took a sip of her ranch dressing rather quickly! The vibe here is great good music not too loud so that you have to scream to converse. Lots of tvs especially in the bar area so I bet watching the World Cup here would be a blast! They run great specials like Tuesdays pizzas are $12 and another night Bogo burgers and that's the night for trivia which is also a blast! This is one of my favorite bar type places to go to. My friend said she couldn't wait to bring her husband. I see a trivia night in our near future! I've posted pics of the onion rings before so I've included a Pic of my Monte Cristo. It was delicious heated up in my air fryer last night. Give them a try you won't be disappointed!
