At the time of this review they're on the end of the summer opening season and their transitioning to winter.
The menu is shrinking for the winter season. Looks like a really fun place for the summer.
I had a catfish sandwich and french fries and it was very good.
Coke products.
Full bar with great bourbon.

I didn't eat or drink anything. I was just visiting a friend. It's a neat unique place but I'll never drive my car down there again, if you don't have a SUV or truck I wouldn't try. They could at least pave the road. It's like driving through a construction lane after they broke up the concrete lol. I'd go back but I'm walking or riding a bike LoL.

What a hidden gem!
Great food, great atmosphere, and the staff are really down-to-earth and friendly. I'd heard about this place through a random facebook post and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I will definitely be back.

The food and atmosphere was amazing but the staff need better structure. Walked up to be met with a cash only sign(no problem) and hit the atm so we could order. Signs on the tables said to pay at the bar so I tried to order a shot of tequila and a sprite and was met with confusion. They didn’t know what they had(which is completely okay) so they check then start talking with other people and ignore me for a bit. One employee(not even sure if she worked there but she was behind the bar)went to sit on the same side of the bar I’m on and the other employee came back and asked what drinks I wanted so I specify(a shot of tequila and a can of sprite) and am met with attitude. Once she gets the drinks she leaves me at the bar and delivers them to the table I came from while ignoring me so I go back to the table. I asked for a canned drink and received it immediately but once we placed a food order two of three orders were incorrect even after she repeated them back. After dinner I go to pay and am met once again with confusion. They don’t know what I ordered so I begin to tell the employee what my table had and she said “hold on, hold on, hold on” so I stop. I am told to come back again because the previous server had left and “did not put the drinks in right”. I come back to pay and again have to wait for them to figure out what we ordered but lord help me if I tell them.. plenty of times I have given this place a chance and each time this place has burned me. I am not mad at the owner or am I upset with the employees because everyone has a bad day but I will not spend anymore money at an establishment that makes their customers feel unwanted.

Absolutely terrible! This place has so much potential and could be a great spot for families. I’m not sure if it’s the owner or a manager but the tall guy who acts an absolute fool is absurd and should not be working there! Cussing and hollering while my kids and I are trying to have lunch. Him making snarky remarks to my wife. I will make sure I let everyone know that this place is not family friendly!! We got up and left. Didn’t even finish our food that we so graciously paid for.
Love these places ....cold beer on the water....music....staff have a great attitude

Disappointed with food and service. The bigger woman isn't very nice,was rude to my son. Burger too salty and fries seemed microwaved.
A hidden gem. Went there with our kids and some friends and couldn’t have had a better time. The owner and his staff were so friendly. Great food, cold beer, we will be back!
