    The view
    Cindy S.

    Excellent food, beautiful view and great service. The restaurant is casual and not super busy on a Sunday evening. The burgers were cooked well, the cheese curds appetizer was yummy. The dessert was excellent! Only the salad was disappointing... spring mix with cucumbers (no tomatoes) but it wasn't bad. Good food and we'll be back.

    When I heard this was a restaurant that serves bar food, I didn't expect much. However, the person who told me that was WAYYYY off! Waters Edge is a full service restaurant with AMAZING food! We walked inside & were greeted by a really friendly wait staff! Everyone was smiling & had great vibes. Got our large group to a table super quick. Our waitress was very patient, & made some awesome recommendations. We ordered some appetizers for the table to share (boom boom shrimp, jalapeño poppers, fries, & stuffed mushrooms). They were really good! For my entree I ordered the ribeye! It was so tender and tasty that it'll have you wanting to order an extra to go! NO STEAK SAUCE NEEDED, it was seasoned and grilled to perfection! The sides were a wonderful compliment too! Last was dessert, the cookie skillet was soooo yummy! My son and I devoured it ! If you're looking for a place that does it all with great service, wonderful food & a beautiful location- this is your place !!! Thank yall!

    We go here for dinner quite often during the week. We ate dinner last night (September 10, 2025) at the bar. Food and service were excellent! I was in the mood for a steak. I had the small filet, medium rare with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Very tender and flavorful. Asparagus was perfectly cooked: still had a little crunch. I don't eat potatoes very often and I didn't care for them last night, just had a bite or two. My husband had the ahi tuna. He liked it and couldn't finish it all, so we brought it home. They also have non-alcoholic beers and drinks for me, and a full bar and nice beer selection for those who would like a drink. Wednesday's through the spring - fall are car and bike nights at Waters Edge. Last night was bike night. When we left at 6:45 pm or so, there were about 30 bikes to look at and one vendor. Waters Edge Dock and Grill is dog friendly on the outside deck and you can get there by boat, car or by walking from Waters Edge neighborhood.

    I went to the Waters Edge Dock and Grill on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated as soon as we walked in and had a great view by the lake! Our server was Abby and she was great! Our table had the Boom Boom Shrimp, Bruschetta, and Coconut Shrimp! All were delicious! The coconut shrimps were jumbo and the Boom Boom shrimp were regular sized. I enjoyed the Jax Fish sandwich, it was really tasty and liked the way it was cooked. I walked away pretty satisfied with what I got. The friends I went with weren't the hugest fan of their entrees (hot honey pulled pork tacos and Buffalo chicken wrap), but they loved the appetizers. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant, especially for the pretty lake views.

    We would come here again for drinks and the view, but definitely not a fan of the food items we tried tonight. Here is the breakdown of our experience: - water view was nice: 4 - service was good: 4 - old fashioned cocktail with Bulleit: 4 - calamari appetizer was awful - rubbery, covered with Pepperoncini and garlic with made the breading soggy: 0 - fish tacos were fishy tasting and super drippy from the broccoli coleslaw that has too much mayonnaise laid under the hot pieces of fish: 1

    Food was great. Really enjoyed sitting outside as the sun was setting. Could have used some bug repellents torches or covered flames of some sort since the high rock bugs are a special breed. Our server was busy and a little distracted by the constant flow of other patrons that were the same age group as her. Had a few bar drinks and they weren't bad. Over all, it was a good experience.

    I am so glad we went back this past weekend to give Waters edge another shot. The food was absolutely incredible and I see us spending a lot of meals here this summer. Everything was fresh and delicious. We sat on the patio and you have a view of the lake. You can come here by boat or by car. I'm eyeing the brunch menu for next time.

    A very cute place and a great dining experience. The staff was super helpful. We had a newer waitress, but she was a pleasure. They were very accommodating to our little fur baby. Our food was fabulous. The atmosphere, and the view were very enjoyable. You should definitely go and check this place out! We will definitely be back here again.

    If arriving by boat, be very wary of water depths and proceed slowly. Great food and drinks!

    The food is delicious and the service is great. However, this is a very loud environment. Loud…read moremusic but the staff dance for you and scream.

    The food here was better than I expected, especially the fries which were hot and well seasoned…read more The burger was tasty and cooked right, not overpowered by heavy seasoning like some steakhouse chains tend to do. Just a solid burger with decent beef. It had been years since I last visited a Texas Roadhouse, and I had not remembered the vibe being like this at other locations in the past. This place was absolutely packed for just before 5PM on a Wednesday, and the atmosphere was loud and boisterous. The crowd leaned very country, and it felt closer to a late-night western bar than a dinner spot. A few guests at the bar were already being cut off from more drinks, which tells you how lively it was. I always enjoy a place with bread service. Logan's still sets the bar for me, but the rolls here are decent. I would say they edge out Outback if you ask for regular butter. The default cinnamon butter is sweet, which just isn't my thing. One thing that stood out is how well staffed it was considering the time of day. For the first time in a long while, I didn't feel like the servers were stretched too thin, although they were clearly hustling to keep up with the nonstop drink orders. I can only imagine how wild it gets on a Saturday night. This is probably the best service of any establishment I've been to in Salisbury, despite the crowd - although if you've seen the service in Salisbury that really isn't much of a compliment. For my taste, the rowdy vibe took away from the experience since I was just looking for a burger and a beer. If you enjoy a high-energy, noisy dinner with a big crowd, this spot will be perfect for you. Personally, I probably wouldn't bring a date or family here unless they were into that kind of scene.

    Driving thru North Carolina on my way to Raleigh, my friend and I stopped off and spent the night…read morein Salisbury. Grabbed dinner at Recipe. Not very busy but cozy and excellent service. Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.
