The food was amazing on top of excellent service. I had the beer cheese burger on a pretzel bun. It came out fresh and hot! I also appreciated the fact they let my pup dine with me, without seating us outside!

The pickle chips were excellent and the Bourbon Blackberry drink was very tasty!

Went there twice. Once for dinner and Once just for drinks and appetizers. Great place just to chill out and also listen to live music on the weekends. Friendly atmosphere. Also, the new enclosed space is really nice.

Really cool setup with covered spaces with single table for groups of four, maybe six. Large covered area with a full bar outside including a small performance area, restrooms etc. inside is really nice with retired boating plaques and a tiki bar feel. As usual the people make the place. Locals were super nice as you might expect in the South, in Kentucky. The staff are top notch. Friendly, professional and on their game. Ashley and Kari make the place feel like home and were welcoming to loopers. Lots of busy chatter and laughter from local boaters and transients like myself. Met some really cool people, had a great fish sandwich and cheese burger. Love the thin cut fries and homemade chips. They have sweet tea, my achillies heel. Saw deer each night walking from the marina to the bar. Don't feed the deer and try not to smell too much like good unless you're comfy with an up close visit.

Nice atmosphere. Good views of the lake. Very friendly and courteous server. Tasty patty melt but the catfish sandwich special was disappointing.

We ordered the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tenders came out cold and were so tuff you couldn’t even cut them in half. They definitely were reheated from a week ago. I would not order those if you visit this place. Be cautious on what you eat here.

Absolutely all the stars. Best Jalapeño cheese curds ever had. Nothing is Sysco here. Tiki pizza for the win on a cabana overlooking the lake. We will be back!

Quite a treat, especially when the main street downtown is overfilled with events and people, just a mile or two further out.

Sit outdoors, in covered cabanas, overlooking the Barkley Dam and river. Just stunning area! Don't miss it if you visit Grand Rivers

The Bavarian Pretzel, huge! The Pretzel burger was delicious and the way the bacon was crumbled up so fine that it just stuck to everything and barely fell off with any bite, perfect!

Service was slow with only 2 servers with 1 also being the bartender. Bar drinks were good, not overly poured where alcohol was all you tasted. We went when it was slow but the layout with seats inside (small area) and the outside having a large park bench style seating with some areas having their own private seated tiki hut over looking the water was a nice option.

Drinks and food were great! However, we were enticed to play trivia by 2 deceitful ladies. They were apparently friends with the person leading the game and of course, they won. Several other bar patrons left when they were admonished for not knowing how to play the game correctly. I mean, it’s A BAR! People drink alcohol! We will be back at some point, but not for trivia night. And maybe they should hire someone to do trivia who can explain things in a simplified manner to people enjoying their night. Keep it simple!

Carie, our server and bartender, was absolutely amazing! We had a pizza that was hands down the best on the lake—and we’ve eaten at all the marinas on Kenlake and Lake Barkley. Honestly, I almost want to gatekeep this place because it’s that good!
