“Planned a birthday party for my kids here… owner was super great about everything!! Reserved tables for us… unfortunately i planned the party and there was thunderstorms on and off. She felt so bad that our tables were wet and offered for us to go inside! I insist that we would be ok. I set up the tables, had guest come… and it was so nice! Brought my own food. But they do have a bar and restaurant right on the beach!! And a couple arcade games! We ended up having to move some stuff inside because it started raining and the owners were cool about it! And not to mention it was way cheaper then anywhere else! Thank you guys for helping make my daughters birthdays great💗 anyone whos never been here… its a GREAT beach. They have a dock you can dive off of… a ton of beach toys for kids to use so you dont even need to bring toys! You can rent jet skis i believe and go out on the water… it’s absolutely a hidden gem”

“Super friendly staff. Great drinks. Good food. Reasonably priced. But it’s the people that make this place so special.”

“What a wonderful experience tonight! I read a review earlier today that mentioned the Chilean Sea Bass. Hubby had never had that dish and was happy it was a special tonight. I had the mushroom ravioli which was also delicious. We couldn't leave without the almond creme cake and cannoli to finish. We might try to squeeze another visit in during our week up here.”

“Had the Alfredo tortellini tonight, the sauce was so perfect and creamy! Highly recommend 🤤”

“Awesome wings, cooked perfectly, they're big, and sauces are delicious.”

“We are visiting in the area and had dinner here - the garlic parm crusted haddock was super flavorful and came with mashed potatoes and delicious sautéed veggies. My daughter loved the Mac and cheese and the cheesecake was also very good. The owners/staff are very friendly and helpful, this is a little gem for sure.”

“🌿 Best Sunday Plan Ever – Nature, Peace & the Perfect Latte ☕️
If you’re anywhere near the Kadampa Buddhist Temple, make World Peace Café part of your Sunday ritual—you won’t regret it.

Start your morning with a peaceful walk through the many paths around the temple grounds—whether it’s a short 5-minute walk or a 40-minute nature hike, the surroundings are absolutely breathtaking and grounding.

From 2 to 3 PM every Sunday, there’s a World Peace Meditation Free and open to all. It’s the kind of reset your soul didn’t know it needed.

Then, treat yourself at World Peace Cafe—a peaceful café nestled in front of a serene pond. Whether you sit inside or outside, the atmosphere is calming, and the drinks are phenomenal. My favorites are the chai latte, the long fog, and hands down the best turmeric latte. Pro Tip: You can have them all cold.

Make sure you don’t leave without trying the vegan sweet potato brownie 🤤 and the World Peace muffin—both are vegan and absolutely delicious. There’s also Wi-Fi if you need to catch up on anything while soaking in the views.

Come once, and you’ll want to return every week. 🌼”

“Awesome food and fast, friendly service! Always a great specials menu as well as regular menu. I give a 10 out of 10! Highly recommended!”

“My friends and I stopped in one day for an early dinner. We got garlic knots, the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and cannoli’s. I’m still thinking about how good everything was. We are from Pennsylvania and I’d make a day trip for that pizza any time of the week!”

“The make exceptional pizza!”

“I used the liquor store here twice; it's quaint but not a lot of room for stock or variety. They stopped carrying Coconut Cartel so I won't drive out of my way to go here anymore but it's not because the store is a bad place.

Parking: Parking is very limited; there are a few spaces in a small lot around the corner. I've never seen more than that.”

“crust is amazing fresh produce and cheese. my husband loved the fish”

“My wife and I were looking for a quick stop for a beer after a day on the lake. Found this place and the friendly greeting sold us right away. Handshakes and introduction from Tom and Jerry who we’re working behind the bar. We have never experienced before. We ended up sharing an appetizer from their specials and it was delicious. We will definitely be back. Definitely worth a trip for all.”

“Came for drinks and dinner on the recommendation of our hosts across the street at the Stickett Inn. Quiet night, so we ended up chatting with the owner, Sonia, who was so much fun! Ordered the mac-and-cheese (amazing!!), sesame ginger salad, and salmon. Food was so good we ended up coming back the next night as well. Night two order the pork chop and the roast chicken, which also did not disappoint! Will definitely visit again if we're in the area.”

“Good coffee, breakfast sandwich and omelette! Will stop by again when we’re in the area”

“Great tacos , and cocktails were delicious!”

“This was my first time and I was excited to try it based on the reviews. I understand it was a holiday weekend. The service was very very slow. The food was mediocre at best. I left there feeling very disappointed with 90% of my dinner in a box. Which I did not eat, I gave it to my son as a late night snack.”

“Spontaneously stopped by after rafting with friends and family. We were all hungry so we didn’t have much expectation but wow. The big river nacho was HUGE and delicious! Ordered 3 different flavored wings among other items. All the food was scrumptious! It took a bit for the beer to come out but overall we were all satisfied.”

“9 of us had breakfast there. Everyone loved their meal. In fact next week we are going back for dinner. There might be 12 of us that night and Salty our waitress said no problem sitting us”
