Great place to have a fun lake-side meal and drinks! We stopped by in our pontoon boat on a Thursday afternoon just after July 4th festivities. It was quite busy but not as crazy as it would be on a summer weekend. We had to wait 20-25 minutes to seat our party of 12, which is expected for a group that large. All seating is outside under the roof, so there was shade and fans, but it was outside, so account for that. Service was prompt and courteous, she took our drink and food orders quite promptly. We got our drinks pretty quickly considering the crowd that was there, but it did take almost 45min to get our food. The food itself was pretty good considering it’s mainly bar food. I had the grilled Mahi fish tacos, and they were excellent! The atmosphere was great, very energetic yet just chill enough. They have a full servicebar as well. Overall, we had a great time there, got good food and drinks at a decent price, all while on the water. Highly recommended.

Super packed on July 4th weekend. The service was great! Just give the hard working kitchen staff some time to get your food out on weekends like this. Live music was awesome!!

Best place on Lake Gaston. Great place to chill and have a few drinks after spending the day on the water. Usually good music with live local artists too. Even while you wait for a table you can head in to the store for a look around at the boats and good selection of clothing and other things.

This spot is a little bit of a hike for us, our house is located near Eatons Ferry Bridge, but it’s worth it. The atmosphere is great, the drink selection is great, and the food is great. All of that is more than I can say for many other places in the lake. There’s a good amount of boat parking, but you could certainly be waiting for a short time to get a spot.

Hard to not enjoy yourself at the Shady Shack. We managed to find a spot at the bar and had the pleasure of grabbing a few drinks. The orange crush was worth the hype.

Great little small town vibe bar/grill on the edge of the water. Food and drinks are both good but it’s the atmosphere that is amazing. Had karaoke the night we were there filled with the usual karaoke suspects. My 4 year old wanted to sing and went up signed up and the whole restaurant got behind her and cheered their hearts out for her. It certainly made her night and one she won’t ever forget.

The best place to eat, drink and look out at water. Well worth the trip from Raleigh.
