I ordered a gin & tonic. Simple right? The first was made with club soda & the second was made with water. If they don't have tonic, then say so. Or they could buy a six pack of the small bottles. I did mention it but we were with people that I didn't want to upset so I didn't make a big deal about them trying to pass off water as tonic. I also saw that they charged $7 for the first & $10 for the second. The $3 came out of the waitress's tip.

Portside is awesome! We went 4 times over 2 days. Beer is cold & the food is hot. Everyone loved the wings. Food & service were amazing. Go see Luke, Ryan, & Rachel. They rock!! They had live music but it was a great level & we were still able to have a conversation.
This is one of the most fun locations on SML. Live music most every Saturday and Sunday along with a great atmosphere make for a great day. The team serving is always great as well!

Been here several times, 5 stars just for the quality of the wings on Sunday. 5 stars might be a little overrated on the food. But the grilled wings are as good as grilled wings can get.

Great casual venue after boating all day. Its on a dock over the water. You can even feel the waves. Stacy will take care of you all night. Live music on the weekends but get there early for a seat. Good times, and we always take our guests there for a bit and entertainment.

Wings were really good, lobster roll was just okay and expensive. I don’t recommend eating on the dock if you have motion sickness, when boats dock it makes it a little rocky.

Just my opinion, but I didn’t like it. I got BBQ nachos, they were very smoky and little sauce. The chicken nachos were great though. Seemed to be rushed by the waiter if we didn’t answer her quick enough on drinks and food she wasn’t taking that order. Could be just so they can get people in and out but you should be able to still order and it not seem like a big deal. Again just my opinion it wasn’t worth all the hype.

Shrimp and grits, fabulous. Little heat, but delicious all the same. Fish and chips were great. Chicken tenders were just as good. Recently opened (as of this post) but off to a great start. Wonderful server and definitely worth the visit if your in the area.
Small restaurant and bar right next to the water. They have live music on the weekend. Dogs are welcome

Went here years ago, and the burgers were fresh made and great. This time we had a cheeseburger. It was not fresh made. You could it was a pre packaged burger. It was not good. Atmosphere was fun and beach like. There was a band. It was super packed so it took quite a while to get served. Taking all that into account, I will go back sometime and try something else.
