Puddle Jumpers Lakeside Grill & Bar

The location on the lake is beautiful! First time there and will not be going back… we did not feel welcomed right from walking in the door and our bartender didn’t even bother to let us know that it was happy hour! I over heard her tell another custom (when he questioned why his draft was so tiny) well it’s 10oz and it 2 for one anyway with a BIG attitude! Mentioned it to her on our way out and she pretended she didn’t know that we had just gotten 2 beers from her!

Great service, excellent selection of food and drink and daily specials. All this plus inside or outside seating right on the lake

For the price of the fish dinner, in comparison to what is considered “a meal”, I was very surprised. 2 small pieces of fish and a handful of fries, do not recommend!

The quesadilla and wings were excellent. From the time we arrived and walk through the door till the end of our meal and we paid the check everyone was friendly, very kind, and helpful. The food arrived hot and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant with its great food and beautiful view.

When Sandy greeted me at the door as we arrived with a beautiful smile and warm welcome I knew I would have a good experience. She was well versed im the menu and provided her personal favorites along with the crowd favorites.
The service was fantastic, the food was outstanding and the vibe was perfect.

I feel it is necessary to share that dining at Puddle Jumpers is more than a local spot for me. Yes, I live only a couple miles away but that does not draw me to this restaurant! The food is very good (everything I've tried), the atmosphere is fun and fresh (who can't appreciate being right on the waterfront), but the service is easily my favorite! I (along with many) come to experience the best service provided by Sandy! I have never seen her where she wasn't oozing positivity, with an amazing smile on her face and a goal to ensure you enjoy your stay. She knows what I like to drink and eat and she leaves me feeling like family, more than a patron. Best feeling in the world from the best server in the world. As long as she is around, I will be too! Thank you Sandy for all you do.

We have visited this establishment many times! The food is always great and reasonable! What makes it more enjoyable is the server we’ve had many times whose name in Jennifer! She always greets us with a smile and bubbly attitude! She also checks on us many times to see if we’re ok , or need anything else! With that kind of personality and service it makes your dinning experience worth while and memorable!!
Thanks Jennifer you ROCK!!

The atmosphere was laid back, the service was great, food cooked fast.
Doesn't redeem all the bad tho.
There is NO HAPPY HOUR! The only reason we went was for the happy hour special we saw on Google but they aren't doing it anymore. Okay, not the end of the world so we stayed for food. That was where we went wrong.
Got a plate with peel and eat shrimp, crab cakes, and fried grouper. The peel and eat shrimp was the best part because you cant mess that up. The crab cake was burnt black on the outside, inside was okay. The grouper was tough and chewy almost as if the fish was on the bed side before they fried it.
Told the waiter this and they offered me more food, which I had no faith in. Then didnt take anything off the bill.
If the back of the house ran as well as the front things would improve. Can't go back or recommend anyone to go there.

Our Server, Jay and the view were the only things that semi-salvaged this experience. The service was scored low, not due to Jay but due to the fact that there were so few servers it took a long time for us to place our order. When we did get our order it was wrong. When we got our food the Mahi, Mahi tasted fishy and was dry. The coleslaw tasted old. The view was beautiful, however the smell when you first walked in was off. I will not be coming back.
