Kylie’s service was fast, friendly, and phenomenal. The grouper fingers and fried potato salad was delicious. Prices are not terrible for eating out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.Parking: Lots of parking

Amazing pool bar. The grouper fingers are to die for as well. Love going to shows, and typically get food beforehand, but unfortunately a lot of the dishes have gone downhill and are nowhere near the quality they used to be. I love the atmosphere and the staff, but the food needs to get back to where it was.

Only restaurant I've been to where the cook doesn't know what medium rare is. Waited almost an hour for server to take orders. Another half an hour for food to get there. Was almost nobody there.

This place was AMAZING!!!!! Maybe the best part of our summer vacation! We ended up going here the first couple days of our vacation honestly just to swim haha AND THEN ended up staying because we saw the menu. This place had everything and anything you'd want. Nothing here will disappoint!!!! There was also love music that is amazing! Swim up bar was real nice and not pricey, heated pool was so refreshing on a hot night.

Went on a Thursday evening and it was moderately busy but the service was prompt and courteous.The appetizers were excellent (Buffalo Shrimp and Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers) and the jalapeno poppers were the largest I've seen!The portion sizes were larger than expected all around so we were quite full by the time we left.Definitely recommended if you're in the area!

Great place, food and drinks! Bloody Mary made spicy was delicious. Jacks Chicken quesadilla was fresh and cheesy, Husband had cheese burger and it was great too. Had live music, several different outside seating levels overlooking the music, pool, lake happenings. We will be back. Waitress and staff pleasant and everyone around us seemed very happy too.

Staff very nice. Food ok. Too much seating in direct sun. Wouldn't seat 2 at any shaded table as they were for 4 or more. Worth a visit just to say "been there done that". Wouldn't frequent.

Stopped for lunch on a wednesday here while waiting for our condo The food and service were excellent. Simple pork tenderloin sandwich was excellent.The place looks like it would quite a party spot. Swim up bar , band stand.Imagine its a different place on a summer weekend but on a wednesday at noon was a nice spot to eat outside and look at the lake

Arrived in a Thursday night seated quickly our waiter took our drink order. He was great very speedy knew the menu. We ordered our food. We both had "Grouper" sandwiches, a signature item. Fish was cooked well but bland except for salt. Sides were good we had red beans and rice and fried green beans. I'm pretty sure that the fish isn't grouper. It taste and looks like Swai or Masa. It was a very thin filet. We came at night not many people but had live music.

Server was attentive and quick. There was a fun band playing while we had dinner. We had nachos, chicken fingers, crab rangoon and cheeseburgers with cocktails. Chicken fingers tasted good everything else was fine.
