Raspberry lemon sour
Beth M.

Impeccable service from Caleb. He was on his A game on a busy Friday night. Restaurant has lake views as the name implies, but we were seated in the corner so we couldn't see much - ask for a table near the window! We had mozzarella balls which were amazing! Fried pickles were also good. Happy hour til 6!!

Salmon BLT! Massive!
Brad G.

We came here on a recommendation after buying a truckload of trees and shrubs. To be honest, we weren't all that impressed at first. The place was empty and the menu "seemed" just okay but we both decided to order the lunch special, a salmon BLT with house made chips. Boy, our opinion changed immediately! We were not expecting a whole salmon fillet and enough bacon for breakfast. And the chips! Our waiter was excellent as well! Awesome lunch!

Shrimp (Blackened) and grits
Delores S.

I googled a good place to eat in Hiawassee and Lakeview Tavern popped up. I am so glad we came! My friend and I both got the shrimp and grits and oh my the flavor!!! What a great choice! We determined it was one of the best shrimp and grits platters we've eaten and there have been MANY choices to pick from. I have already invited my son from Nashville to make a date with his mom in November when he visits. Great job to Adam, our server and compliments to the chef. The owner can be proud of his staff.

What a fantastic burger joint we stumbled upon while traveling through the mountains! Smash burgers…read morethat are cooked to perfection! So much flavor in every bite! I got the black and blue burger with bbq sauce, cheese and sautéed onions. Amazing! Casual atmosphere like a typical diner a service was fast. Walk up to the counter, order, and get your food within 10 minutes! You could tell that a lot of locals frequent this establishment for their casual lunch meetings. Highly recommend!

Bronco's Burgers is exactly what a proper smash burger should be. These things are thin, crispy,…read moremessy in the best way, and packed with flavor in every bite. They nail that golden edge-crisp that only a real smash burger delivers. Honestly, the definition of "smash burger" should just be a picture of Bronco's. And the sides? They're just as impressive. Their thick-cut fries shocked me -- I'm usually not a thick-cut fry fan because they tend to come out soft or smushy. Not here. Bronco's fries are fried to perfection: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and seriously addictive. Their onion rings are also excellent. Light, crunchy, flavorful, and not soggy or heavy like so many places make them. It's one of those spots where the burger is fantastic, but somehow the sides keep up. Plus, the tacos, burritos, and cheese dip are all standouts. The chips that come with the dip are fresh and crunchy, and that combo is dangerous in the best way. Inside looks small at first glance, but there's an extra dining room in the back with more seating. Just know it can get busy -- I've been there when it was chill, and I've also been there when it was packed to the point I had to sit outside. Parking in the front is tight, but there's additional parking in the back (marked by a sign). The staff is extremely friendly, and even though they only opened earlier this summer, they've already become one of my go-to mountain ride stops with the crew. Great food in the perfect location. My only wish? A Coca-Cola fountain. They do have cans, so I always grab a Coke Zero to complete the meal, but a fountain machine would take things to another level. Bronco's is an easy recommendation. If you want a real smash burger -- plus great fries and onion rings -- this is the spot.
