"Fun Place to Eat...
Good food, excellent salad, sat inside, had live entertainment. Facility is large, plenty of seating outside and in pool area. Has swim-up bar at pool during the season. Sits on the water, so you can boat up and dock."

"Very good place to grab a bite. The Grouper Sandwich was very tasty as well as the fried potato salad. The waitress we had was friendly and knowledgable. Great view of the water and nice outside. They have a really cool pool area and lots of outdoor seating. I would recommend this place."

"Excellent food, great service, nice view...
We had a mid-afternoon lunch here. The sign off of Highway 54 to the restaurant is small and easily missed. The road down to the restaurant is steep but manageable. The restaurant sits on one of the inlets from the lake. There is both indoor and lakeside seating. We ate outside, as did most patrons today. Very good menu with salads, burgers, and entrees. My wife had the grilled chicken fingers, and I had the jambalaya. Both were excellent. They came with a salad, also excellent. Our waitress, Tiki, did a great. I expect this place would be packed in the summer, so go at an off time."

"Lunch...
11 of us stopped in for lunch on Friday. It was off season so it was not too busy. We were seated right away. Our server was new but she did great. Food was awesome especially the poppers! Drinks were great! I had the pain in the a**. Delish! Kids enjoyed walking on the docks. We cant wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the pool and outdoor seating!!"

"They have the most amazing grouper sandwich and homemade tartar sauce. When you come you must try their fried potato salad and fried green beans. My husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich while it was not as big as some he has had in the past this one had awesome flavor. We loved the view and the service was pretty attentive."
-Stephanie G, Yelp review

"Had delicious nachos and there was a great band playing during our visit. The atmosphere was authentic and the bartenders were friendly and attentive"

"My group of friends and I went this afternoon for Mother’s Day celebration. We had a good time: the food was great, the place was very cozy! We had a good server, she was so amazing by checking on us promptly, and filled up our drinks 😂😂😂! She also did a good job on transferring us from outside to inside dining due to the Mother Nature 🌧 🌧. However, the rain didn’t stop us on enjoying our dining, we love the food and everybody was fully satisfied 😋😋😋! We are for sure coming back hopefully next time rain will 🛑. Therefore, we can sit outside and enjoy the scenery."
