Really enjoyed this place. Came in on boat, walked up, put our name on the waiting list, then went back and hang out in the boat until our buzzer went off. My wife ordered bang bang shrimp for an appetizer and it was unbelievably good. Ended up making my entire entree another order of bang bang shrimp. She had the pulled pork with macaroni and cheese and it was fantastic as well. Waitress was very good, atmosphere was very pleasant. For a party of eight they done fantastic. For sure going back!

We went between lunch and dinner to hang out. Wait time, atmosphere, drinks, apps, and live music were excellent. Shout out to Madison at the bar, Victoria at our table, and the hostess (whose name I missed). Great teamwork on a hot, hot day. We enjoyed the Legacy Band, too. What a fun crowd! We’ll be back!

First time eating here today. We each had the Carolina burger w pub chips. Food was delicious and portions were big. Katie, our bartender, was very helpful w beer selections and kept checking on us once we were seated on the deck. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend

Wow…. this place is amazing!!! Finally have a great place to eat in this part of the area. Long overdue but, worth the wait. The staff is absolutely amazing and the food is delicious. Kudos to the kitchen staff. Thank you to all those involved who made this restaurant possible. This restaurant is our new favorite place to spend time on the weekends with friends and enjoy the scenery.

Rachel was an excellent waitress and matched the excellence of the tasty food. Smallish area to eat inside unless you want the bar area but lots of great view seating outside

My husband and I stopped here for a late afternoon snack after some hiking in Riverbend Park. We decided to split one of the new Stripin’ Chicken Sandwiches and all I can say is, “Wow!” So much flavor in each bite. The combinations of sweet and savory plus the melty cheeses was fabulous. We ordered the house made rippled potato chips as our side and they were perfect as well — a little thicker and still super crispy. We are glad that we decided to stop in and saw so many other enticing items on the menu that we will surely be back. It will be hard not to order the same exact thing again though — it was that tasty!

Edit….the other reviews look fake. Photos of 10 plates of food but 0 people in any of the seating. Reviews read like a book. If you wanna look at the lake it’s great. Food was cold and bland. Hamburger patty was a frozen patty. Onions rings were cold. Go to the end of the road for the food. Better good better prices anywhere else. Server was exceptionally friendly.

We got sat down at 8:10 pm and ordered our drinks and food pretty quick. We didn’t get our food until 9:40 pm. Our server was great! But the wait time for the food was insane and the food was pretty bad. All the buns to our sandwiches/burgers were hard as rock. The only good food was the mac n cheese. If you’re okay with waiting a couple of hours for food then it’s definitely a good spot for the view. If you’re hungry, definitely not the place.

Shout out to Brie (hope I spelled your name right). Had lunch on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Sort of busy at the time we were seated. Some mix ups with the orders placed. Nothing major. Food was good. Brie was very helpful and wanted to make things right. She was back and forth from the bar mixing drinks and waiting tables. She has excellent customer service which means a lot!! Thank you for your dedication.
