Mango's Bar & Grill

Not the best restaurant in the lake, but I had a good time

Beautifully nestled on the SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE sits a bustling little place that looks out at the LAKE. With -FOOD-ARCADE-ABC- and other businesses around there provide different things.

Very disappointed that my beef chimichanga was just ground beef and but shredded beef like most all other Mexican restaurants I've been to. Salsa was super watery. Drinks we solid though. Food didn't really have that Mexican flavor we all love. It was actually pretty plain.

The blackened mahi-mahi tacos were pretty bland and disappointing. Service was good and timely. They weren't busy at the time. Be careful around the docks, there was one big hole in the dock where the boards had rotted out.

I don’t usually make reviews but I had to because SML did not disappoint! We are new to the area and decided to stop by mangos. Our group was seated fast, the food tasted like home, and the service was spectacular. Our server Grace recommended a few of her favorite dishes and I must say the Mahi Tacos were delicious. She asked us a question I have never been asked at any other restaurant that really stuck out to us. “Does anyone have any food allergies you would like me to be aware of while handling your food?” While that might seem minor, my wife has an alpha gal allergy and she took it very seriously. We appreciated that. The atmosphere of this place was very friendly. We didn’t get to join trivia because we sat outside but she was quick to ensure us they do it every Friday night. She also recommended another place nearby called copper cattle we will be visiting there next. Overall a nice family place with an arcade upstairs.

We came by suggestion from friends to listen to live music on a Saturday night. It started out rough, we were sat in the bar area inside but couldn’t get anyone to wait on us so we opted to sit at the inside bar and Angela the bartender didn’t disappoint. She makes a delicious Mai Tai. The cheeseburgers were perfectly cooked and the speed of which the food arrived was fantastic. We moved to the patio seating and were very pleased with our server Miranda. The music was amazing and the vibe was so fun! There is a small dance space and you will see all walks of life, come as you are. I would definitely come back for more live music.

Yummy salmon and fried shrimp 💖😍

Wonderful spot on the lake to grab a bite to eat. Tasty food and nice people. If you’re into stouts I recommend the peanut butter chocolate milk stout. All in all a 9/10 spot

Cool atmosphere right on the water however the service was pretty mid. Not super attentive for a Saturday night , one of our 8 wings wasn’t edible (it was super weird looking), and we were told the Rueben spring rolls would be 4 spring rolls. They were not. It’s two spring rolls cut in half. So that’s two. It’s been a while since we’ve eaten here, it’ll probably be a while before we come back

This place looks neat and had a lot of upside. Menu looked great and prices reasonable. Waitress was not friendly maybe having bad day or maybe not her thing. I ordered the burger and was not good except for the pickle. Not sure why you would put a fresh mozzarella slice on top of tomato and not have it melted on the burger. This was not an enjoyable experience.

Blackened Mahi Mahi tacos were raw. Good service, food not so good. May be back for a beer another time.

We ordered two burgers that were ready a little too fast to be fresh off the grill. Bun was chewy and patty was dry.
The waitress came up with the bill before we finished our burgers. It felt very pushy.

Always a fun place! My husband and I took our guests here by boat, got there around 1 pm on. Thursday. Was already busy, but service was still great. It is dog friendly (they have a special area where you have to sit). They even have dog treats . Their menu is extensive, we all had a difficult time deciding. Everything was delicious.

Mango’s is always a good time with a great atmosphere, especially when the bands are playing. Not the best food on the lake and relatively slow service even when not busy but we’ll keep going back because it’s just a fun place to hang out.
