“We loved it here so much we came back twice in a 3 day period. So many great menu options. The view on the lake is beautiful. Delicious food. Easily enjoy amazing weather with the deck/patio style seating. Really great all around.

Only complaint is we had a hard time getting drink refills. And it took a long time to be able to put an order in for our food. Waitresses just seemed to disappear for bits at a time but were good when they were around.

Definitely highly recommend the deep fried green tomatoes!!! They were a family favorite for sure. Honestly all of the food we got everyone loved. It seems you can’t go wrong here.“

“We wound up at FishTales today because the parking lot at PigTales was too small to accommodate my Brother-in-laws' RV. No big deal, they are not too far apart. Our taste buds were set on the Fishtales basket (Fried Grouper and fries) and once again, it was delicious. The portion is large enough that my wife and I split it.Our server today was Hannah and she couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. When I placed our order, I asked for extra tarter (dill) sauce and when we got our food, we had two extra sauces. I usually have to ask a 2nd time. Great attention to detail. We sat out on the patio under a tiki hut umbrella with a great view of the lake. A most enjoyable lunch! Thanks Hannah and FishTales!“

“Went for the first time today. I had the fried shrimp and my son had the queso chicken. Both were excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“Great management, awesome servers, fantastic bands, and delicious food!!“

“We have been traveling for the past few months from NC to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center to see family. We found this little jewel early on and always stop now. Hannah is an ah-mazing waitress and even though we don’t come often, remembers us and our drinks. Great food and true hometown feeling. Wish we lived closer!“

“It was Saturday afternoon and we were with a large group of 50. We had reserved ahead so there was no waiting… even so, they were pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. Service was excellent. Our server was experienced, efficient, friendly. No one in our group complained about mistakes in their order. The food 🥘 came quickly and was scrumptious!!! I eat meatless and there is not much in the vegan 🥗 offerings so baked potatoe soup + salad it is… minus the bacon bits of course… that soup was rich and creamy and delicious 😋… there is plenty of parking but exiting the parking lot can be tricky. The exit is right on top of a street light and it’s in a highly congested traffic/shopping area. But the location itself is right off of a 985 exit making it easy to find and access. All in all our experience was excellent!!! I would recommend and will return 💝💐“

“Great service !“

“AWESOME spot for cover bands! Great vibe, great/fun staff, great food (recommend the firecracker burger & sweet potato fries). We will frequent this place for more fun shows.“

“Favorite local spot, never disappoints!“

“A local restaurant that has a diverse brunch menu and good service...“

“We enjoy stopping in to listen to live music and sitting outside. The drinks are reasonable and the staff is friendly. It's a local hangout for so many of our friends.“

“DOPE! So much fun with fiends, great live music, food, and drinks !!!“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! Everything we ordered was AHHHHHHMAZING! The staff was incredible and it immediately felt like home! We're here for 2 nights and plan to eat here again tomorrow! Yes, it's that good and the atmosphere is wonderful and homey! Plan to eat here if you're in the neighborhood! ❤🤤“

“Best Pizza ever!!! 🍕🍄🍕🍄 We are Addicted to this pizza & the crust, & all the fixin's are just oh so 😋 Yummy ! If there's a mellow mushroom around we'll be there!!🍄🍕🍄🍕“

“Love the atmosphere, music and staff!“

“I rate 4.5/5. I recently celebrated my birthday at Louis House of Bourbon, and overall, it was a great experience. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion. The managers were also very personable and friendly walking around to check on everyone. This place even had a DJ after 9 p.m. on Friday, which really added to the vibe!

The drinks were great, and I highly recommend trying their Crème Brûlée—it was absolutely amazing. However, I found the chicken (on the menu as “Coq au Vin”) a bit overpriced at $45 for a small airline chicken breast with a wing tip. Don’t get me wrong, it delicious (it’s chicken over a wine reduction sauce with mashed potatoes, see photos) but it left me still quite hungry. If I could do it again, I’d skip the chicken and go straight for the BBQ chicken pizza. It was fantastic and definitely worth the order! My husband had the burger, and he said it was decent.

Overall, a fun spot with great service and a lively atmosphere, but choose your menu items wisely to get the most value!“

“Good food and great place for karaoke Friday night“

“It is the first Venezuelan food restaurant where the meat on stick is exquisite, everything we ordered was a delight and the attention was unmatched. Excellent place with a really amazing touch. We will definitely return for the other dishes and it will be our first recommendation!“

“The food was delicious, as always . The servers were all friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, it is rare to find that combination in today's service Industries. I was so impressed, in fact, that I took the time to write a letter to the president of the company to write of our experience there.

Wheelchair accessibility: Be sure you locate the entrance. Do do not try to enter from the University side of the building unless you are coming across the ramp over the street.“

“Great burger deal on Monday, we stopped going thru back home and the burger was good. I am a medium rare burger guy but you can only get medium. The service was a little slow but luckily we were not in a hurry.“

“We love mellow mushroom because it’s one of the few places we can get a completely vegan pizza. Plus it somewhere we can meet non vegan friends and everyone can find something to eat. They are always pleasant and provide great customer service.“

“Yes and No! I live very very close to B&B.. And have gone for ladies night, happy hour and to hear my favorite artist Stephen Lee and band.. but lately it lackluster. One of the managers ( new white dude) was very rude when we walked in… We enjoyed ourselves ANYWAY and tipped the waitress WELL.. I always make reservations and request to be seated in the lounge ( when Steven Lee band performs) with no problem. Last evening for Motown night I made reservations for my two girlfriend’s three days in advance was never told about a $75 per person charge just to go into the lounge. I Called to confirm my reservation last night and that’s when she told me about the $75 per person. We happily went somewhere else. So my yes and no response is go when there’s happy hour and ladies night but when there’s a theme, night, just know that they will apply $75 per person. I think my B&B days are over because I’m #woke to their shenanigans now.“

“Great place for craft beer, burgers, music, and pool.“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and service!!“

“One of my new favorite places! We went around 2pm the Monday after Mother’s Day.

The food was absolutely amazing! It was all cooked perfectly and tasted so freaking good. It was the first time my husband and I have been and it didn’t disappoint. I got a seafood boil T5 I believe (crab, crawfish, (added) sausage, shrimp, potatoes, corn and (added) boiled eggs) and got it mild with the twisted crab seasoning. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted phenomenal. I’m actually kind of picky as well and was pleasantly surprised that I instantly fell in love. I also might go up a spice level next time.

Our server, Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and informative. She really made our first visit a memory. The host as well was kind enough to wipe our menu down as it was still wet from the cleaner they used.

My husband ordered chicken tenders and onion rings. His stomach unfortunately wasn't feeling well the last few days so he didn’t have much of an appetite for anything. However, he had some of his food and was pleased. The rest we took to go and our son ate the rest of his leftovers and was happy. Nice big portion of each tender and onion rings. Also, the cook was nice enough to give a nice big portion of BBQ sauce.

Definitely kid friendly. Only went during the day so can’t speak for the night.

I can’t wait to try their other food options and their adult beverages next time. It all sounded so delicious.

Spent $66.33 for both our orders. We did have 2 sodas and I did add 2 boiled eggs and 1/2 lb of sausage.

Cons:
All MINOR
1.) I had to ask for extra sauce to go. I wasn’t even halfway done with my seafood and most of the sauce was gone. (Maybe because it was that good and it got all soaked up by the seafood.) Ha-ha. My server was so generous to get me more with no problem. Next time, I’ll just be sure to ask and get an extra side for dipping alone, while the main sauce gets soaked up by the seafood.
2.) The crawfish I got, a lot of them were really tiny. There was a few that were a good decent size. Normally, it can’t be helped when you get some small ones but definitely expected a lot more decent sized ones. I will note that I come from Texas so, not sure if my expectations for crawfish is high because of that or it could be just a one off batch. Either way it was still absolutely delicious and will order again.
3.) The booth we sat in had a lot of gnats on the table. We had to keep shooing them away for a little while.
4.) The window we were next to in our booth was not clean. Normally, I don’t really care about things like that but it had a lot of butter and grease smeared all around on it right next to me. I’m sure that could also be another reason for the gnats. I think it was just our booth as the windows didn’t look like ours did. Basically, it looked like someone was having a hard time with their seafood and flung all the juices everywhere.
5.) One menu had the po boy options listed etc. and while the other menu didn’t have it at all and had drinks and other stuff that wasn’t on the other. So, we essentially ended up sharing a menu. Not a big deal to us at all. However, if there was a big party someone might miss out on all the other amazing options they offer and wanted to note it.

Deducted one star for the minor cons listed above.

We will definitely be back, hoping at least once a month. Would highly recommend.“

“😍I just moved to Gainesville a month ago and have been trying out different places around town. This is my new fav restaurant.“

“Great food. Good atmosphere“

“This is my first time coming here. 1- I have to say that I am a very picky eater regardless of the place either is fancy or not. 2- I wanted to go to a quiet place with no so many people, it is Friday evening and there are not many people but the waiter was very attentive and checking with me few times. 3- I order sopes w/chicken and cup of rice, nice simple food and well seasoned, it transported me back to Mexico. 4- Prices are reasonable, it’s not a fancy restaurant like the populars out there but it is 101% worth the try. 5- the setting is very simple, they have a billiard and few game machines for kids and teens. 6- Place is clean. I will recommend this place to my friends and family. 7- I would suggest to make a reservation because they don’t have too many tables but it is worth coming here.“

“I loooooooovve Jack's, honestly it's the best restaraunt in the whole area. Everything in here is good. We are originally from Miami, and love the atmosphere, and the vibes. Let me give you guys a little secret. The food on the menu is awesome, but the specials will have you coming 2x a week like we do. Don't walk, run.“

“Great service, great food and extremely fair prices, not to mention the drinks are really good! We go thee 3-4 times a week. I highly recommend it!“

“Stopped by for lunch yesterday and so glad I did. Best brisket I’ve ever had!“

“Food was good. Burgers were big and kids fish & chips were a big portion. Even for being big portions, it was a little pricey compared to what you can get at other places. Service was a little slow especially for it being quite empty.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and a kids menu.“

“I picked up an order today and just had to review them & say THANK YOU for all the staff I saw said hello and when leaving they all said have a good evening, it was definitely a nice change to have such friendly faces smiling and kindness showed, it’s rare today! Chilis rocks!!! 💯❤️“

“Right off the dock, this restaurant has super friendly staff, good beer and great fish dishes. Tried the tacos and enjoyed a lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps available for those needing them. Restaurant on flat ground.“

“Great food! We had the lunch special on Friday. And it was fabulous! Not a fancy place but inexpensive and delicious!! Highly recommend!!“

“Awesome staff! Incredible owners! Love the bartender, Jenn. Thanks for your hospitality.“

“It was a late dinner, got fajitas and cheese pars! Yea cheese bars! 😂 one of them was awesome and filling. Could not finish all my food because everything was so good. The bartender was cool. Got carded to find out I was older than the bartender dad. Had a good laugh at that.“

“Love this place. My family dines frequently at Chateau Elan restaurants and the staff is incredibly awesome. The service is top notch, the food is delicious and so we keep coming back to enjoy everything this place has to offer.“

“Corey(I apologize if I spelled it wrong) had done a great job both times I've visited this bar. Great service and great food. The fact that he asked me if I was driving home or walking before serving me after a little while of drinking speaks volume. I respect and appreciate that out of any bartender. I've also asked him for recommendations both times I've visited and provided him my taste preference and he has done a GREAT job meeting my tastes. You're a great bartender. Thank you for your help, and I appreciate your professionalism.“
