Food is always great. Waitresses are cute but that's all they have going for them. Answered the phone with a " boondocks" ...... I placed my order and then wasn't told an eta or price of my meal. Placing an order anywhere else is normally along the lines of "okay will that be all? ...okay your total is so and so and your food will be ready in 15-20 minutes

The menu is limited, but the food is delicious.
Only took 25 minutes for a server to come over and take order. Left us sitting at a dirty table. Wasn't that busy. No other option in the park. Am about to start eating the grass

Took a while to get the food, but it was well worth it! We had the Timeless and Farmhouse burgers, the Reeled Catfish, the Fresh Hummus, and some Fried Macaroni Wedges. They were all delicious!
Parking: We were there on a Saturday morning (10am) and left in the evening (6pm) and parking was not an issue. This was the day before Mother's day

Stopped for a snack and a couple beers. The wings were excellent crisp and moist. The beer was a very reasonable price with stuff was attentive and informed. Bonus, the outdoor seating area is dog friendly too.

We love this place! The owners are amazing! They bring in the meat from their local farm. All the food is amazing. Do not miss the ice cream or great beer prices! Check out boondocks bait shop next door for bait, fish licenses, sunglasses, shirts and sweatshirts, tackle, beer and more. ( Literally always the best worms around)

Fantastic customer service. You felt right at home with their attention to detail and welcoming atmosphere. 10/10 will go again and highly recommend
Dietary restrictions: I didn't see any dairy-free options at their ice cream counter, no big deal--but the man serving me asked if I would like some sorbet from the back. Such a caring and generous offer. Much appreciated and very delicious!

Excellent fish fry, wonderful staff, and very nice views of the lake. The red wine topped it all off.
