Service was really bad today. Our table had 5 adults, 2 kids under 6, and a 16 year old. Three of us had salads, a tenderloin, 2 corn dogs, and chicken strips. Half of us got our drinks when we got our food, we got our salads and everyone else had to wait and wait and wait. The kids were so hungry and starting to cry. Why wouldn’t the kids get served first? How difficult would it be to keep an eye on the tables with Littles? Our salads were main course salads not a side salad to be served before the meal. The reason our drinks were late was because they were busy making drinks for people that walked up to the bar instead of making the drinks for the people that had already ordered. Wasn’t entirely the waitress’ fault but if she would’ve kept a better eye out on our table with the little kids, she would’ve gotten a much larger tip. I doubt we go back for a long while!

Our server Chesnie was great! The gift shop was great. But the hostess?!? Or whatever she was black hair and glasses was very rude. Been visiting this place for years and never been treated so badly as we were today. She seriously kept asking if we were done basically implying get out. No one was waiting, the place was not busy so no reason for her to be rushing us out. We had food didnt finish, one drink, didnt finish because of her. As long as she works there will never go back. She made the entire experience bad and one employee can ruin a reputation. Hope she is a former employee soon.

They wouldn’t allow us to place a to go order for a pizza over the phone when we were on the way to the lake. We had to order at the bar and wait. Uhhh??

I don’t understand why they aren’t open on a Monday of a Holiday weekend and if you plan on having a nightcap cocktail, they will close the doors EARLY. BUT when they are open and don’t make you leave at 9pm I love this bar

Fun spot to pull up to and have a drink or a fish. We came here on to start the day and it was a good choice. The staff was funny and engaging as were the other customers. We got some bites to share while we were there and they were all good. I enjoyed the Garlic Bread and the Meatballs the most.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was awesome. The wait staff did an amazing job. My food was really good and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be returning with friends. The fun drink names great atmosphere and staff make this a unique find at the lake. They set a standard that not many other restaurants around the lake can live up to. I would have rated 5 stars but its a bit out of the way. The drive is definitely worth it though.
