One of the most laid back places I've been to in a long time. Servers are very nice & friendly,…read moredrinks are strong, view is stunning and overall a great time. I spent both evenings of my weekend here and they had live music on Saturday. Wings were pretty good too. Most folks arrive by boat. They have a great dock, restrooms were clean and the floating bar was fantastic. There's a parking lot, a dinner cruise leaves from this location too. Highly recommended and I'll definitely be back!

Nice place to pull up in the boat after a day on Smith Mountain Lake. (They advertise plenty of…read moreboat parking, which is not the case!) I had a lobster roll, which was filling and good. The place was packed for live music, so we had to sit in the glaring sun. But good for them to be packed! Server was friendly, but service was really slow. Two cold sandwiches took well over 30 minutes to arrive. Then a 10 min wait to get our bill, then another 10 minutes to get our credit card back. (This was well after the live music had ended, and a lot of people had left.) So, good food if you don't mind waiting for it and waiting after it.

When my $18 sandwich came it was not stacked with meat as it usually is so I complained and the cook added some. Still not the same so it was remade. I was told there is a new cook. Train him better. It's the local folks that keep you in business in the off season. Seriously Moosies, do better

The staff was friendly and got a seated as quickly as possible and it was the busiest time of the day so the wait wasn't really surprising Unfortunately it didn't really get better. Again the staff was always friendly, but the food took forever to come out and when it did come out it was not very satisfying. The chicken wrap was very scant on meat and fillings and the pizza was relatively flavorless and undercooked. The one standout was the French fries which were delicious. It's nice because this is right on the water and convenient if you're out boating, and the outdoor seating area is nice. But honestly I would not go there for the food only for the convenience

Continuing alphabet series with V for V is for Vinny's. My girlfriend & I were at Smith Mountain…read moreLake the week of 4th of July 2024 as her parents have a home there. My g/f recommended Vinny's as being very good. Originally, we were going to go here for an early dinner on Thursday, July 4, but when we were driving from Franklin County, I exclaimed Prime Rib Thursday at Copper Kettle! So, I had her U-turn, and we tried that instead. Please see my 5-star of them from August 2024. We ended up going on Saturday, July 6. We arrived in this cramped front area, and someone sat us at a booth at a reasonable time. We sat in the booth over 10 minutes without anyone coming to even get us water or check on here. We were hungry, and I was already annoyed for this long wait and was looking on Yelp. I asked my g/f about trying Bella Vita, which she agreed and left about 15 minutes after being seated. It was a big disappointment. However, after my 5-star Yelp review of Bella Vita (which I got to reviewing in April 2025), my g/f said Bella Vita is a better Italian than Vinny's, so maybe for the best. Since I didn't actually eat at Vinny's in the end, wasn't actively denied water, or had some other terrible experience, it would be unfair to give than 1-star in this case.
