Place was great. Service is great. The building is great. I'm confused why they don't make the outside more beautiful. The view would be amazing if it was cleared out and opened to the water more. Great place. I'd definitely come back.

Great spot on the lake. Little tiki area, putside seating, as well as indoor (tables and large bar). Defiently make a mean pizza. Would not recommend anything else as they are usually out of it. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Very busy due to holiday weekend. If more staffing was up to the task maybe could of handled it, minimal menu which for that location could really do much better
The food took 2 hours to receive.
The waitress did an amazing job.
Kitchen is out of her control. It was out of control as a restaurant serving a minimum menu. We had pizza and some appetizer with apples and jelly and bread. Not good this restaurant/bar is in an awesome location right on the lake and you can drive too
Please do better….
Not returning any time soon.

This pizza is actually insanely good. But basically my entire family refuses to eat here ever again because of the service and atmosphere.

They only have one person in there doing all the service. She is a hard working lady, and it's not her fault the other workers call off every weekend. She's there, she's doing her best. But if you want water or drinks for your table, she will tell you to go to the bar and get them yourself! The fish fry is not great. Not bad. But with 11 restaurants that do a fish fry in this town we are still looking for someone to do it deliciously.

Oh, and if you get a baked potato then you have to pay extra for sour cream. Totally insane.

Live music was actually good but the speakers were all jacked up and not really a great experience.

There is a sand volleyball pit.... No volleyball. Actually it's a huge outdoor patio playground with absolutely nothing to do but look at it.

This place would be a local treasure if the atmosphere and the staff matched the great food. I know it's hard to do it all right but the people who live in this area are all dying for better execution on these things.

The pizza was amazing! Love the atmosphere and friendly staff..Really enjoyed the live music and can’t wait to return to try another delicious item on the menu. Kudos Chef Mark and Tracy for a job well done!

Parking: Large lot

Kid-friendliness: Kids are obviously welcome and they even have a sand volleyball set up?

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out. My grandson is in a chair and all was great for him. The tables are even a good height.

The food was good, but it took a long time, and the waitress seemed to not know where things were.

This place works hard to take care of their customers. PLEASE realize staff has to ramp up for our summer expectations. Give them a break and BE KIND. ?

This rating is for two different Friday visits for the fried cod fish fry.(We went back). On the second visit, they were busy and understaffed. I felt bad for our waitress who was working so hard to keep up. She did a great job! The star was the fish fry. Every aspect was just what I wanted. There was a loud festive atmosphere with sports tv's playing ball games and a beautiful lake view! I give our waitress 5 stars, but the amount of help was lacking.
