Staff dressed like it's a backyard picnic, soup was cold had to send it back wait time too long both in getting food and getting checks
recommended by a local barmaid...a sure-fire great place. they mention they are a seafood, steak and ribs place...they are. and whatever they do is great- right down to the side salad and vegetarian entrees. great service, even a bit late, nice welcome, very clean...but lol...you can tell they specialize in local walleye, perch, and seafood when you walk in. thanks for a great job you guys!
Good crab cakes with remoulade sauceðŸ˜
Awful! We were told that their was a wait time of 20-45 minutes. After 45 minutes we were seated outside. We left after 15 minutes when we didn't get so much as a glass of water! The couple next to us left after not getting waited on for 45 minutes! I understand that this is a festival weekend but you would think any Manager would make sure that they were staffed!
Large group, waitress was very nice, but food came out staggered, some plates not complete when served. Overall nice place, but wouldn't recommend for large table. P.s. we did make reservations so not a surprise.
Awesome local seafood. I had the perch and it was delicious.
Fantastic food, great staff!! Visiting here from Illinois...definitely will come here again next time we visit Erie!!
I came here on a Saturday night. It was great! It was really busy, but the survice was still fast and the wait for our food wasn't long at all. I got the walleye, and it was the best I've ever had! 10/10 Will come again!
Crab cakes were delicious! Very reasonable kids meal prices! All under $5.29.
We've eaten here a few years back and it was really good. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was pretty bad. My medium steak came out well done, like really really well done. Not a huge deal, I sent it back and ordered a burger. That took quite a while and it was pretty burnt too. When we were done eating and waiting for our check, the bugs were getting really bad and they hadn't lit the citronella candles so everyone was getting eaten alive. Our waitress did a good job, and they did comp my steak and my burger for which I was very appreciative. The meal deserved 2 stars, but they didn't charge me so I gave them 3 stars. We won't be back anytime soon.

Went on a Friday night in season about closing time and had wonderful service and great food. We got grilled and broiled fish, both were prepared excellently.Loved the sweet potato tots and the Mudslide that we had. I'd come here again anytime !!!
The smothered chicken is great! So was the salad and baked potato. Don't order the smothered chicken if you are trying to eat healthy, because it's got ranch, bacon, and a genuine ton of cheese. They do have other healthier choices. Service was friendly and efficient. I eat here semi regularly, have never had a bad experience. Ribs, burgers, ox roast sandwiches, and Lake Erie Perch are all very good. Also try the Black Diamond Steak.
Food is good, nice selection, you can dine inside or on the patio. Manager and staff were very accomadating, would recommend.
Good food, good service. Portions a little on small side. Military discount offered which is appreciated.
Ordered perch dinner, which was okay tasting and an okay portion. Nothing to blow anybody out of the water.
