Food was good and service was excellent, but they were out of Jalapeño Poppers due to a supplier issue. Fried Potato salad was good, different. Blackened Grouper was very good but we liked the Stuffed Mushrooms the most!!! I liked the Cucumber Lemonade too!! I would consider coming back again for the sunset view, if nothing else. Loved the patio/deck - perfect on a cool September night!

Huge shoutout to Riley our server over the Labor day weekend. Not only did she make great suggestions on food and drinks, she kept our cups full and drinks coming. So appreciative of her for our experience!

The hostess worked hard to get us the table we wanted. The food and music were decent and the sunset spectacular.

My favorite place at the lake. You could order anything on the menu and it would be the best version you've ever had. The atmosphere is inviting, lakeside dining and indoor seating as well, down to earth friendly wait staff and customers, they love dogs too, delicious drink menu, great music - a nice mix of old school and new age. There's definitely something for everyone here.

We LOVED the hand breaded chicken strips and shrimp. Kinley was amazing and I loved how friendly she was!! If you are here be sure to ask for Kinely!

We had the strawberry short cake, it was really good. The drink were very good also, the waitress was also sweet. We had our pups with us and they had no problem with that brought them water also. There was live music the night we went and it was perfect.

There was a dead fly in the food. When we pointed it out to the server and asked her to take the cost off the bill, her immediate response was that “this is an outdoor restaurant.” We were sitting inside. Server was terribly rude after that. She still received more than a 20% tip, just so no one thinks we were trying to save some money. The rest of the food was underwhelming at best. Gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because it’s a fun atmosphere and great view.

Decent food, more of a party place. Very annoying groups wearing all the same swimsuits for birthday parties and engagement parties. Not much lake view, all about the party

Come for the vibes not the food. Pasta is okay and chicken fingers are okay. Salads are a joke and the ribeye sandwich was very disappointing. Bread wasn't toasted so it was soggy and the steak didn't have any seasoning. Can confidently say it was one of the worst steak sandwich I've ever had, unfortunately. Pool party has DJ and huge patio with great views. Friendly servers. Some minor improvements for food but highly recommend to go if you like upbeat and more rowdy party vibes. Affordable prices.
