2 hours for 2 sandwiches…read more How do I rate my experience? I'm not sure. Over all , our visit lasted 2-hours for what amounted to 2 burgers, fries, and drinks. But, the staff was very apologetic, offered us a free appetizer when she realized our food was terribly late, and in the end, the manger came to our table and comped us one of our meals. Apparently their system "glitched" and our order was "lost", and never made it to the kitchen. Once the waitress realized the issue, I'm guessing she entered the order incorrectly, because once the food came out one of the sandwiches were totally incorrect. She realized it as she was sitting it on the table, apologized profusely, and left with the food. We waited again. Now to the food. The hand cut fair style fries were exactly what you'd expect. crisp, brown, and perfectly seasoned. The burgers were done exactly as requested. Medium Well. The toppings were fresh, cold and crisp. The patty was seasoned well. Again no complaints. The ambience is small town sports bar/family restaurant. With many TVs up front at the bar, and along the walls to entertain you while waiting. The decor is dated, but in decent shape for its age. Before posting this review, I read through past ratings, and I see other service issues in the past with long wait times. But, the reviews for fast, quick friendly service seem to outweigh them. So, I'm going to chalk my experience up to a REALLY bad day. But, I will warn anyone that there is the potential of a long wait for your food.

I showed up by my lonesome, not knowing anything about Island House or Buckeye Lake or anything, and I was greeted warmly and shown to the popcorn maker. The popcorn maker is there by the bar and is available (with buttered popcorn) for your popcorn-eating needs. I'm assuming that popcorn is complimentary with your meal, because I saw a dude come up and get a bag of popcorn (twice). That's nice that Island House offers free popcorn. Anyway, I didn't eat the popcorn. It was a little ... I don't know. It was a little much for me. Instead, I ordered a Club Sandwich (toasted bread, ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato). The club sandwich was great! It's sometimes difficult to make a great club sandwich, even though the components are simple. This club sandwich at Island House was great. It came with ruffle chips. There is patio seating here at Island House, which is probably amazing during the summer and fall, because you're steps from the lake. I sat indoors (by a window), which is an option but FYI the ventilation is a little lacking and it was a tad stuffy inside.

My experience here was terrible, in my opinion. I brought my parents and one of my daughters. I'll…read moreadmit they were more forgiving than I am here. We arrived around noon on a Friday. All tables were full. There is nothing that is worse in service than making people not feel welcome when you walk into an establishment. I don't need much. A hello, an acknowledgement, a welcome, sorry we'll be with you shortly....None of that. We stood awkwardly at the front of the restaurant half inside the doorway behind another family. The other family nor our family were not acknowledge for about 15 minutes. I tried to make eye contact and kind of nod at some of the wait staff and people behind the counter to make sure they understood we would like a table, but they flat-out ignored us. As if we didn't exist and they didn't want us there. It was kind of sad, really. The other family that was waiting eventually left after a while of realizing we may not be seated and we were not welcome. After about those 15 minutes, three tables of people finished at the same time. The waitress came over and said we could sit in a booth wherever. Yes, kind of like that. Sit wherever. It was clear they didn't want us there. We were inconveniencing them. Getting our waters and ordering our food was fairly straightforward, but the same vibes: not friendly nor welcoming. We waited longer at the table than I would've expected for waters and ordering, considering we'd now spent 30 min in the building and had hardly been acknowledged, but she did take our order. It was after 11am, so no breakfast options. Hmm, okay I get it I guess. That's fairly common for a diner. My only option as a vegetarian is a grilled cheese and french fries (pictured, after eating half the sandwich, about 12 french fries were included). It tasted good, but it was tiny. It was a kids'-sized portion. I was unsure of how a grown man was supposed to call this a meal. It was cheap enough, but I would've paid a couple more bucks for a larger portion, maybe a full side of french fries? All else was fine. The mood/vibe never changed. We weren't checked on, until we waved her over for more water and our bill. We paid our bill at the counter. I don't think I have high expectations. I just want them to...be okay with us being there? Provide service? (I always leave a tip, but I'm not sure what I was tipping for...) It's no excuse, but maybe they thought we were out of towners? I've lived here for 15 years, but it was definitely giving "you're not our people" type of vibes.
