“Overall decent experience. I'm sure the disc golf course down the road and the college are big reasons for this establishment's success. We ate outside while it was around 50 degrees.I ordered the veggie nachos, and it was simply grilled onions and peppers with cheese, and the amount of those veggies did not equate to the high price of the base dish. The overall flavor was drowned in the white quest used on the chips. I asked for the hot sauces and was given red and green salsa. The red was mild but flavorful, and the green was the hot one. It had a nice flavor. Both added depth to the otherwise bland vegetables and chips.Lengua was added to the plate, which was an extra $5. There was a decent amount, but the lengua only had a slightly seasoned flavor. Surprisingly, it was fairly dry. I was expecting something a little more juicy and marinated.Would go again.“

The food was awesome, I tried the chicken and steak rice combo bowl and my wife and son had burgers. The cheese sticks were so good we had to order a second round. We will definitely be back next time we get up that way from Lexington, SC. You got to give them a try! Good people and great food!“

The only thing I would work on is their egg quality. I ordered eggs over medium twice, and both times they came out easy. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely something that can be worked on.Pro-tip: their corned beef hash is a must!“

The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is located in what looks like a hotel or condos, very nice. We sat outside, it was a beautiful day, there is a pool, fire pit and a nice view of the lake. Very relaxing atmosphere. The waitress was super friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the blue cheese dip with chips and then the apple butter grilled cheese. OMG, that was the best grilled cheese ever, they take it to a whole new level with the apple butter and perfectly toasted! We had French fries with it and they were perfectly crispy and delicious. We had a great time just relaxing outdoors and enjoying our meal. Definitely recommend!“
