This was my first time here. My family eats here about once a month and has raved about the food and relaxing atmosphere. I absolutely loved it! The service was excellent, servers are super friendly and attentive. We chose to sit outside, the weather was perfect. We had shrimp nachos for an appetizer and we all had shrimp alfredo for our meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and very fresh! I can't wait to come back and try something different! We also had a side of baked beans and they were really, really good too!!

I love the burgers here, the seafood platter, catfish, salads, and tacos. Lots of other good things on the menu. Nice casual atmosphere with a good view.

We were traveling through and this little place popped up and sounded like a place we needed to stop and eat. Can't say enough about how good the food was in the atmosphere looking out on the lake while we ate was the best! Don't pass this one up you got to stop you won't be disappointed.

Cool place on Logan Martin, motorcycle accessible. Nice to sit with a view of the water. The food was better than anticipated for the winter season. Shrimp and grits were great, I'm told. I had the Grouper dinner, which was fine, but about what you'd get at Long John Silver's or Captain D's. Service was a tad slower since we were outside, but fine.

This is a great place for a family to catch nice fellowship night. The restaurant is paced to relax and enjoy your meal. Everything was cooked to order and made with great precision.This is a place you can rely on to get a solid meal and fellowship peacefully. They also can cook a steak properly! Summary: it's a laid back restaurant that deserves the local support. It's an out-doorsy style place: so dress comfortable. It's great for family dinner or casual date night.

We showed up, party of 21, with no reservation. Only had a 20 minute wait time as they prepared a spot for us. After ordering our drinks, we started to get rained on and the staff quickly got us moved to some spots that opened up under the awning, to be covered from the rain. Because we were such a large group, it took 45 minutes for all of us to receive our appetizers. Entrees were all out about 45 minutes after that. Total time there was 2.5 hours, and all of it was worth it. The place was a full house all night, no empty seats, and the entire staff doing their best to accommodate everyone. They were very very nice and helpful and attentive the entire time we were there. 10/10 would be back.... but maybe a smaller group . They also had Ducks, lots of Ducks.

First time visit and really enjoyed. Great service and food. Good time to go IMO during the week for lunch. It is a busy place from what I've read on weekends and late week nights
