I kept my boat at River's Edge Marina (used to be R&N Marina) for about seven years to include all…read moreservice/maintenance jobs, and my boat and jet ski trailers there for about 10 years. The people were always nice and professional. However, during the last two years, my jet ski trailer suffered a broken fender, taillight and license plate bracket as well as ruined tires from being stored in the mud as opposed to inside like I was promised. I didn't seek damages, did the repairs myself, and sent them a letter stating that I will keep my boat trailer there, but not my jet ski trailer, since it was damaged and being kept outside in the mud. My letter was not derogatory in any way but simply stated the facts. The owner (Rick) called me, said he doesn't want my business, I needed to come get my boat trailer ASAP, I was a jerk, and he didn't want me on the property ever again. He stated that he didn't need my money and spends my $330 trailer fee on lunch every day. I couldn't believe what I was hearing as I was always nice and professional in person and in my letter. The employees there have always been nice and I've never had any issues until speaking to the owner. He turned a business matter into a personal attack which is unacceptable. All that to say that, come to find out, this guy, who also owns Lakeside Marina, has a really bad reputation for losing his temper with customers. I will certainly never do business with him and would advise anyone who does to reconsider. There are other places to get fuel and supplies on Lake Hickory that have great owners and are more worthy of our hard earned money.

Great place, and staff and, my boat is safe. There was no damage from hurricane Helene there.read more

An overall welcoming lakeside pub with a cozy, small-town feel. Parking could be better, and a few…read moremore menu options would add some variety -- but honestly, it suits the laid-back pub atmosphere well. The bathrooms are clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Just know that this is primarily a bar, not a full sit-down restaurant, with limited seating outside of the bar area. There are board games and little knickknacks for kids (and adults, I suppose) to enjoy, though personally, it feels more like a spot for a casual night out with friends than a family outing. The food was decent -- nothing that blew me away, but nothing disappointing either. The burger was solid -- a safe, tasty choice. The spinach dip was quite good, though we couldn't tell if it was made in-house or bought. A quick note: the pita chips that come with the dip are crunchy, not soft. I didn't mind that, but my wife wasn't a fan. The nachos had a nostalgic, homemade quality. You know when you'd throw tortilla chips and shredded cheese in the microwave as a kid? It brought back that kind of vibe -- in a good way -- with a nice, old-school charm and a bit of an upgrade. Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10, mainly for the friendly service and how accommodating the staff were with our large party.

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well. We are really enjoying our new pontoon and wouldn't hesitate to do business with the foothills marina Lake Norman in the future. Stop in and see their selections and meet their staff. They will take great care of you. Dan
