The menu is fairly diverse but no fancy meals here. Chicken tenders, catfish, shrimp, burgers and salads. Everyone in our party of 6 was happy and would eat there again without hesitation. If you find yourself on the lake needing a place to eat give them a try.

Good atmosphere & great scenery. Best fried pickles I've ever been served…read more My group consisted of 3 couples (6 individuals total). Even when we rarely go out for boat days (usually in priest or old hickory) we avoid packed outdoor food venues, but it wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon here. No wait & plenty of outdoor seating with ample space between tables. One thing all of us mask wearers noticed was that the staff & servers were not masked at all, they didn't even have masks on them, & very few of the patrons coming & going had mask on either. Must be due to the geopolitical views of the people in the area. This concerned me & I kept my mask on the entire time except while eating since the staff were not masked & walking by closely and often. I won't let that factor into the review but it needs to be noted for others who look here for guidance. There were several drink specials & food specials made known to us by our server immediately & he was quick to fill our drink orders of mango habanero bloody marys & pontoon punch which are both highly recommend by our party. I ordered some fried pickles to split up & they are very different & exceptionally good. They are slivers of pickle spears fried in a manner that resembles fried green beans. Everybody raved about them & they were gone quickly. One order was almost enough to share for 4-5 people. Half of the party ordered club sandwiches & the other half ordered burgers & fish tacos. The fish tacos were stated to be better than Sams on old hickory & as good as some served on the Florida panhandle in PCB, Pensacola, Destin etc. the club sandwich was nothing to write home about, pretty basic & fairly bland. The Mac & cheese is well above average & could make the cut of the top 10 I've had in the middle Tennessee area. IMPORTANT NOTE. THEY CHARGE A 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. If I was on the lake I'd probably come back, I'd expect to see masks on the staff though.

She told us it was lost and asked if we still wanted it, told her we were ok but it was brought out anyway. Very disappointed in the high dollar appetizer and dining experience. Also, why don't the servers have sections instead of taking turns with customers....seems like it would be easier to give the servers sections instead of every 3rd or 4th table, which seems like it would be difficult to keep up with. Very disappointing and not worth the $$$ it costs!

Food was delicious, once the chef understood what we were looking to eat…read more Reception was mediocre where the main room was noisy so we looked for the back room. We waited for 20 minutes past our reservation before we were seated in the noisier main room. Our waitstaff Tanner was a 12/10 - superb! Highlights included that once order was correctly received, it was executed well. Downside was that my husband's filet was seasoned when he asked no seasoning; salad came out with dressing on the side instead of having the kitchen lightly dress it. But once it was correct (2 hours past our reservation time) it was fabulous. Mushroom gratinee was delicious. Cesar salad was crisp and perfectly seasoned when lightly dressed. Originally my husband's filet was seasoned and over salted but 2nd chance was perfect. Asparagus was delicious. Dessert was comped and was great. Here's where they could improve: Ambience - the main room has no theme and is noisy. There are beautiful pictures of Center Hill Lake and they should capitalize on that. The room is noisy. Perhaps some artificial barriers of plants could improve. The use of "to go" serving dishes makes it feel less fine dining. They say they are a wine bar but have a very limited selection. They could easily expand their selection and become a true wine bar. We would go back and look forward to trying Ace's again.

We used to love coming here for the catfish dinner-not any more. A recent trip ended our patronage…read more I was shocked when the waitress brought our food and there was half the amount of catfish as we normally got in other years-for a substantial increase in price. I get that restaurants are having a difficult time and their prices have increased but don't take advantage of your customers. If you increase the price, give me the same amount of food, not less. We would gladly keep coming, even with the huge price increase if you hadn't cut the portions in half.

Like "grandma might side-eye this recipe" level good. Meanwhile, I got the crab & shrimp boil with the garlic parm sauce and BABYYYYY. Listen. That sauce oughta be illegal. I was over there dipping potatoes, shrimp, corn, crab, probably would've dipped my whole arm in it if society allowed. Everything was hot, seasoned right, messy in the best possible way, and the portions absolutely did not come to play. 10/10 would happily ruin another shirt with garlic butter again. Lebanon folks -- go hungry and thank me later! And give Mama D your love!

I really liked this spot. We came on a Friday mainly because we wanted to try their seafood, and we…read moredidn't regret it at all. We wanted to try some clams and blue crabs, but they had ran out that day so I got some snow crab legs, shrimp, and crawfish to try with their dang garlic sauce. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It wasn't overcooked or undercooked. You know with seafood, sometimes places can overcook it, but this place had cooked it perfectly. Their sauce was also really good. I liked it a lot because it had a nice taste to it. It wasn't too overwhelming for me. I also felt the corn on the cob was cooked perfectly. I've had some at some other places where they overcooked it and it was too mushy, so I really liked how they did it here. The night we came, there was a live band so I thought that was pretty neat. Will definitely be back to try some of their other items.
