We did like the restaurant. However, we were hoping to dine there outdoors during the summer and come by boat. However, they don’t even allow pets outside. :(
Three of us rode motorcycles there today just to eat lunch -- a distance of nearly 100 miles one-way. It was well worth the ride. Food was excellent, service was fantastic, and the view was awesome. We will return, hopefully with more riders.

Kowaliga Restaurant offers a satisfying dining experience with good food, including grilled shrimp and smoked chicken, and a great atmosphere with stunning Lake Martin views and a beach area for kids. Guests can enjoy feeding the turtles, geese, fish, and ducks while relaxing on the patio. The easy access by car or boat makes it a convenient spot. The restaurant features friendly staff, with servers who are attentive and helpful, contributing to a welcoming environment. Visitors often praise the fried catfish, onion rings, and Monterey Chicken, describing them as delicious. The onion rings are large and worth ordering, and the fries come in a generous amount. Some recent guests mentioned the place is very busy, especially on weekends, and does not take reservations, so arriving early is recommended. It can be a good spot for a family meal, especially if prepared for potential wait times and a lively atmosphere. Many appreciate the view and the relaxed setting, making it a popular choice for enjoying good food and beautiful scenery by the lake.
