    Pina Colada
    Anthony G.

    For my 1300th review, I was to talk about the amazing experience my family and I had at Boardwalk Grill! We came to Boardwalk Grill on our second foray into Celina. Although reviews on yelp are mixed, I heard great thing from several people I know about this place. They were right, yelp was wrong. Let's talk first about the ambience and decor of the place. Its welcoming, laid back, very cool kinda place. Totally captures that wonderful vibes of a great lakeside/beachside bar. Its right in front of Grand Lake, and you get this great breeze. There seating inside and up on top... but you get a good breeze regardless. The staff is friendly, helpful, engaged, and hey have hustle. We had no wait to be seated and our waitress got our drinks order immediately. Just an example of engagement, when I ordered the Nutrl Classic Lemonade Vodka Seltzer, she asked if I would tell her how it was as she would like to know for future customer recommendations. I had never had it, and it was crisp and refreshing! Perfect for a hot summer day! I did tell her that. My mom got a pina colada, my brother was the only one who did not get an adult beverage, he got a soda. She absolutely loved the pina colada, by the way. Ordering our apps was a little more difficult, only because there were so many great choices! We got the crispy garlic shrimp, and the shrimp was fresh and flavorful! While we munched on those delectable shrimp, we made our orders for our main courses. My mom ordered some chicken tenders and fries, my brother ordered the boardwalk burger and fries and I ordered the brisket smash burger. Per the menu, "the brisket smash burger is an angus beef burger and angus smoked brisket piled high with a rich white American cheese and grilled onions, and special sauce on a grilled white bread." I got mine without the onions. My brother and mother loved their food. I had a piece of the chicken tenders, I think they are some of the most delicious tenders I've ever had! The brisket burger, thats special! The brisket was tender, the burger was cooked to perfection, even the bread was buttery and crunchy... just a perfect dish! I can guarantee you that my family and I will be back!

    Took a chance on Boardwalk Grill for dinner mainly because it was close to our hotel and who doesn't love eating by the lake? It offers open-air seating with an excellent view of Grand Lake. The place was hopping on a holiday weekend and the wait staff kept pace. Husband and I both had the fish tacos. The fish pieces were battered and fried. Tasty and would order again. Overall a great dinner and will return if we're ever in that area again.

    Kids nachos!

    Delicious food and large portions! My kids loved their nachos! Very friendly and helpful staff! Definitely recommend.

    Rode bikes with some family up from Coldwater for a nice Friday lunch. We were seated quickly but were surprised by how full it already was so soon after opening - we took this as a good sign. Service was predictably slow, seems like the natural consequence of so much square footage and so few servers. Still, when servers did come by they were friendly, direct, and accommodating. I ordered the shrimp po boy, a dish that came out looking a little slight, but with the sauce and corn relish filled out well. The shrimp was tender, if a little unremarkable. But as a whole the sandwich was pretty tasty. The whole group agreed the fries, cut in tasty spiral shape, were the surprise star. All in all, a decent spot.

    The atmosphere is awesome, the service is great. This is a great place to drink and watch the game or listen to the live band but their food so disappointing. The only thing that was good was their sidewinder fries. Nachos, nothing impressive there... beef was bland. The cuban sandwich, was like a deli sandwich..a waste of money there but like I said a great place to drink.

    The Texas burger and potato fries.

    The burger and fish tacos were delicious, the beer is reasonable to be a waterfront restaurant.

    You walk in to see a counter with seating for four people, high back, swivel chairs. There's a…read morediner menu letter board up on the wall, yellow with age, announcing the flavors of milkshakes and ice cream. It's from the 60s and probably hasn't changed since they put it up 65 years ago. There's a whiteboard on the back wall with the special for the day written out. Bacon egg and cheese omelette or a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on toast. Five dollars. The kind of place with a few locals sitting at a booth having their morning coffee, one of the waitresses offering Jim the last donut because they know he will want it. He accepts it. This is, in my mind, a classic American small town diner. The kind of place I grew up, eating in my hometown of 500 people. It's not high cuisine, there's nothing fancy about the food although I did come across a few things I had never seen before on the menu. Fried mush. Meat grits specials, like the scuttle butt and the chili Bob. An age old, but perfected recipe of eggs, meat, cheese, and a starch either potatoes ( homefries) or toast. The coffee is weak and not much flavor to it but, to be honest, it's exactly what you would expect in a place like this and there's something comforting about that. Honest, simple food made day and a day out, catering to the local crowd and a few roadway, travelers like myself who happen to come across it. There's a certain charm and depth to places like this that have been lived in day and day out by the same people for decades. For those like up rounded, there's the nostalgia and connection to the many other people having the same experience day after day in communities across the United States. Forgive me if I wax nostalgia can get a little sentimental here, but this morning's dining experience definitely elicited that for me. I hope you can find your own version of this sometime today or in the near future.

    I love their food is really great the people are so sweet and kind I would like to go there…read moresometime soon

    Great food options, something for everyone…read more All-sized parties are welcome, and the bar has a wide assortment. There were eight of us at the party today, with people scattered throughout the main dining room, the bar, and the back dining room. Sadly, there was only one wait staff for everybody, so she ran to keep up. Everybody enjoyed what they ordered. It was freshly prepared and had great flavoring. Prices are fair, and no surcharge was added for the party of eight. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. It was quiet, and because of the ambient noise, we were able to have conversations without yelling at one another.

We sat for just a few minutes before our lovely waitress came to our table. She was so sweet and when we told her we were from Indiana, she got excited and said she was, too! Always nice to meet a fellow Hoosier even if it's in Ohio! We placed our order, waited a little longer than we had hoped but the food was worth the wait. Everything seemed to be so fresh, right down to the rolls and muffins our waitress had forgotten to serve at the beginning of our visit. I'm not hating though! We were so pleased she brought them and it was a pleasant surprise. The housemade poppyseed dressing is a must! So delicious! We're definitely coming back!
