I got the biscuits and gravy, and my boyfriend ordered an egg breakfast with sausage and bacon, and everything was really good. The food came out fresh and flavorful, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. We did have about a ten-minute wait for a table, but it was the day after Easter, so we expected it to be a little busy, and it honestly was not bad at all. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was great too, really comfortable and easygoing, and it felt like a place you could sit and enjoy your time.

My wife has a death allergic reaction to onions and because of cross contamination in the kitchen she was exposed to onions. Regardless of how busy the diner is, the cooks need to take their time to ensure this doesn't happen. Why didn't I speak to the staff? Guests with allergies need to read this and that takes precedent over speaking to a manager who may or not only provide lip service about seeing how this won't hapoen again.

Beautiful bar where you can sit if you'd like!

Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.

Food was really good (order potato combo meal with brisket and a coke) a. The combo included 2 corn and cheese small muffins, a container of bbq sauce, and a large baked potato with butter, bacon, green onions, sour cream, and my choice of meat brisket b. The brisket was GOOD! The muffins were very light, buttery, moist; not dry at all or too corny. c. The bbq sauce was thankfully in a container off to the side, it was too watery for me and was not a fan of the taste, it was like ketchup with water. 3. Price a little high for my liking ($18) 4. Not a fan of styrofoam when there are better cheaper alternatives out there 5. There is a tip jar at the window and if you pay with a debit card they have you sign the receipt where it also asks for a tip. I'm not a fan of paying drive thru service workers a tip like you would a waiter/waitress. 6. Wish they sold chili. If they did sell chili I would like to see it come with the same toppings as the baked potato does. 7. I will definitely be a returning customer just not as often due to the price.
