Great location and good food. Over looks Lake Norman. Has multiple boat slips. The food and service were good. Great motorcycling or boating destination.

I’m not a person to typically leave a bad review but I was very disappointed after today’s visit. I brought a large group of 7 high school students and 4 adults. The restaurant was very quick to accommodate the group during lunchtime hours. The food came out quickly and I felt everything tasted wonderful. It wasn’t until the end that our experience turned sour.

The best “dive bar” on the lake! New docks, new menu, GREAT music and always something going on. The staff is super attentive and the drinks are strong. Get in your boat and go

Great place to eat on the water. The food is good, great portions and always tasty! I just wish they would monitor the sound of the bands. It is so loud you cannot hear the person next to you. You can have live music without blowing people’s ear drums out.

Went on a Saturday afternoon for the first time. We sat out on the back patio overlooking the water. They had a musician playing the guitar and singing (not too loud, which was a plus). Their turkey club sandwich paired well with a Red Oak amber. Overall, a good experience. Nice view and great service… our lunch was served quickly!

Food is eh, nothing special. The only good food I enjoyed was the pretzel with beer cheese and, of course, some beers. The Philly and wings we ordered were nothing special. The service was ok, we were told, ” Here is the check, I’m not rushing you but have to leave to make my kids’ soccer game.” The atmosphere and view are good. Definitely not worth the price for sure, way over priced for not excellent food.

First time coming here and wow! I am sad that it’s taken 2 years of living here to find this amazing place. Let me tell you, this is hands down the best place on the lake, EXCELLENT food, AMAZING service, and an INCREDIBLE environment. Plus, the guy singing live music was also one of the best performers I’ve ever seen.

Visiting the area from NYS and stopped here after a nice walk at Lake Norman. The staff was able to accommodate our party, including our dog, with an outdoor table facing the water.
