“We held a bridal shower for 50 people in the Cobalt Lounge a few weeks ago. I can't say enough good things about our experience. I originally booked the venue site unseen when they were closed for the winter season but Frank was great and easy to communicate with and gave a tour to the bride and her mom when they opened for the season in May. Closer to the shower Gabbi coordinated everything with me (menu, setup, etc) and was great and very fast to respond to all my questions. The day of the event, Nate was our bartender and helped everything run smoothly. He was super friendly and easy to work with. I requested a last minute table out on the patio and he set it up quickly while I was decorating the room. All the food was ready at the scheduled time and was delicious. A very reasonable rate for the amount of food served. Everyone that attended the shower had wonderful things to say about the venue, the food and the VIEW! A wall of windows overlooking the lake was absolutely amazing. I would absolutely recommend Gordy's and the Cobalt Lounge and they would be my first choice for any future events/showers that I'm a part of“

“shout out to Delavan Culver's drive-thru tonight! they had my two fish fries ready by the time I got to the window. no sitting on the other side and waiting after paying!!! Way to go!!“

“I recommend staying at Snug Harbor; However, if you’re a tent camper stay far away from site Snapper 7a and 7b. This camp site shouldn’t even be a site. Other than that, it has a nice little beach and a great pub for drinks and food when you’re hungry.“

“Pirates Cove is a great place to hang out, grab a few drinks, eat some great food, play some pool and sing karaoke“

“We ate there last night. Had an amazing experience. crab stuffed mushrooms, spinach salad with hot bacon dressing regular salad, Ribs , prime rib, and there chocolate volcano cake was all spot on.“

“We recently visited the store and bought, among other things, the artichoke chicken and kale casserole. We heated it up - it's all pre-cooked - and enjoyed it for dinner a couple days later. We couldn't be happier. It had plenty of nice-sized well cooked chicken, plenty of artichokes and pasta. The taste was excellent. We are seniors, so the serving size was not only plenty for the 2 of us, I had leftovers for the next day's lunch. Thanks, Thyme. We'll be back and we encourage everyone to try their offerings.“

“Best drinks around and incredible service!“

“Out on a friend’s boat, and stopped for drinks and snacks. Service was good. Drinks were good. Food is typical bar stuff- made from frozen. Had some pizza and wings and taco bites. Prices fair. Has a couple of docks that fill up pretty quick, so some folks have to float around in the water while waiting for a chance to tie up, but it all works out. Music playing, darts, and cornhole. Lively atmosphere.“
