“ Some places let the view be the star, but this place it's the food. The service is great. Been there twice now and will go regularly. ”
“ Stopped in for supper after a long day out, it was so nice and relaxing eating outside with the lake view. Our waitress was wonderful and food was delicious! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area. ”
“ Awesome wings, great service and good people! Perfect place to stop for lunch on the lake. Follow the inside of the pvc pipes coming in because there’s a sandbar around the entrance. ”
“ Took my son here to eat, and there was so much to choose from that we didn't know what to get, so we ended up ordering multiple things. They did not miss!!! Everything was delicious Beautiful scenery! ”
“ I wish I could give more stars for atmosphere alone. Nighttime dinner overlooking a quiet part of the Catawba River is something else. The burgers, onion rings, and tea were perfect. Some people with me got the shrimp tacos and raved about them as well. (I wouldn’t know a good shrimp taco if it tried one) Can’t wait to go back. ”
“ Due to a poor jet ski gas gauge I thought I had enough to go up to the north dam and back below 150. Turns out I was unexpectedly running on fumes according to my gauge. I made it with fuel light blinking at 7:40pm to this establishment and saw the gas dock was closed. I asked a server if anyone could help sell me fuel and she said I think someone in the kitchen knows how to do it. So my son and I were waited on by a very kind staff here and we made it back home before dark and storm. So much gratitude for this crew. They went above and beyond and even offered to let us sleep on a house boat if they couldn't get the pumps back up. Southern hospitality at it's finest. Highly recommend anyone visit them. Their culture is golden ”
“ Hidden gem alert! It looks like a place where they sell bait for local fishing haunts...but go sit out on the dock outside...and then it gets nostalgic, like picnicking by the lake. The view was great, but the food was the STAR..The food came out HOT, you could tell it was homemade, the service was exceptional and attentive... If you are in the area, GO! Do not judge this book by its cover! ”
“ We heard about this place 2 weeks ago and have been there twice since. Service is awesome and the customers are great too. Great view of the lake. Amazing wings and soft pretzel bites. Great place to ride a motorcycle to as well. ”
