Moosie's is a SML icon. Overlooking Bridgewater Plaza it is a the center of the action. The service is great and the American Pub menu has standards and local favorites (the fried bologna is epic). If it's your first time it won't be your last and if you're brining some new to the lake make sure to put it on the must do list. read more

Went to Moosies like we do every week. We always get the nachos. Last time they were skimpy on beef and cheese, this time they were practically non existent. When my $18 sandwich came it was not stacked with meat as it usually is so I complained and the cook added some. Still not the same so it was remade. I was told there is a new cook. Train him better. It's the local folks that keep you in business in the off season. Seriously Moosies, do better read more

There are lots of food choices! Really something for everyone. There is a view of the lake, which is super cool and you could even play mini golf on the lake very close to there if you want. The decor could be updated. That's why I gave it four stars. Our waitress was great! Thank you read more

I would love to give Moosie's a better review because we have been coming here for years. However, today was such an utterly disappointing visit, all due to their hostess. We can in with 3 adults and 1 toddler (1 yr old) and they sat us at a 3 person table and wanted to stick the high chair on the corner of a square table where she wouldn't have been able to get close enough to eat and if she threw herself forward for any reason, she could seriously injure herself. So we explained that to her and asked for a bigger table that would accommodate the high chair. The hostess then decided she was done with us, set the menus down on a different table and walked off. We had to get the high chair and move some chairs around, not a big deal. The hostess then continued to run her mouth under her breath while seating others near us and would stand in the main area staring and giving us dirty looks and glaring. All because we wanted our toddler to be able to eat her lunch at the table in a safe area. I will say the waitress was wonderful. But it is very disheartening to have that be the face of your business and her attitude be the first thing people with kids experience when they enter the facility. Unfortunately the food was not up to par either, our food came out with what I thought was a hair on it but turned out to be mold growing on my food. (See picture below) I don't think we will be returning anytime soon. read more

Moosie's is such a staple at Smith Mountain Lake! The food and service are fantastic. Have a crowd to feed? Order the nachos! They'll satisfy! The onion rings are spot on. The sandwiches, delicious. The desserts are good too. If you're celebrating a birthday, be sure to let them know...you just might get a special birthday treat! Check out Moosie's, and try to get a table at a window over the lake. Such a great view! read more

I didn't have high hopes, as I am, admittedly, a food snob. I was pleasantly surprised. This is a fun, loud (if live music is playing downstairs), happy place to dine. Tabitha, our server, was delightful. She gave us the rundown of the menu and told us what was especially good. We started with a small order of nachos, which were very yummy. My husband had a pastrami sandwich, my son had the Monte Cristo, both loved their sandwiches. I had the prime rib special, queen cut, that came with a gorgeous salad and a baked potato for $24!! Living in Northern VA, this is an incredible price. And it was delicious and tender and well seasoned. We will definitely be back when we visit Smith Mountain Lake. read more

Ambiance is casual. No outdoor seating but you can still hear the music playing at Mango's below. Their menu has some great choices if you're looking for a sandwich. I got Kyle's Kreation which is an Italian sub and the moosies punch both were very good. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Worth a stop. read more

Ate sandwiches and had a round of drinks. Sandwiches were good and many many choices. I had a hot roast beef sandwich that was excellent. Piled high with excellent roast beef and cheddar. Wife had the North Carolina bbq sandwich which was also very good and tasty. I recommend you order the French fries with your sandwich as the little bag of lays that comes with them is really small and the fries were very tasty. Overall the place is pretty nice but it is a bar, so don't expect white tablecloths. Service was very attentive and very friendly. Great place for a quick bite and drink. read more

Visited on Memorial Day. First time back in YEARS. Was ready for a crap shoot due to the holiday and lake. Pleasantly surprised. We did arrive before the real lunch rush. Bartender took really good care of the 3 of us at a table while also tending bar, taking call ins, and helping seat folks. Food was delicious, drinks were wonderful. Aside from being aware they were busy and needed a bit more time than normal, it was a perfect visit. read more

We had a birthday celebration for our friend, Jim, at Moosie's. It was wonderful. The service was good and the food was great. Jim had the Grilled Chicken Salad. Others in our group had the Gobbler that was pilled high with turkey; Funky Chicken with grilled chicken breast in a croissant; Moosie's Special with pilled high roast beef; and other dishes listed in the menu. The atmosphere was festive with birthday decorations we were allowed to put up. Several people stopped by our table to wish Jim a Happy Birthday. It was a nice celebration at a great restaurant. read more

One of our favorite places at the lake. Comfortable casual, with a great view. The food is always great and ample portions! Servers are always pleasant and helpful and prices reasonable! They are open on Monday which is nice with most other places closed on Mondays. Try the French dip and frys! read more

Great sandwiches! The Club is enough for 2. They make the best homade French Onion Soup within miles. It might take awhile to get seated, however once seated folks are very attentive. Nothing over the top for ambiance, but quaint and easy to talk to one another. The owner is a very nice lady that will ask your opinion on things. Our go to because it's open all year in a somewhat seasonal lake community. read more

Popular place, especially when it's nice weather to eat outside. Unfortunately, because of covid they only had 3 small tables outside so the wait was very long. They told us 20 minutes and we waited for an hour. The menu is very extensive, especially if you're there for subs, they have anything you'd want! You cannot personalize your own though, it has to be what's on the menu. The sweet tea is delicious, and the food was good too! I would recommend. There isn't much to eat out in SML so this is a good option. read more

this is such a cute little joint with some of the nicest servers! they have a bunch of sandwich options, but don't have many vegetarian options. i got the veggie one and wasn't expecting much but was very surprised! i liked way more than i thought i would read more

Nice bar in a good location. Understaffed. They have a sign warning you before you come in. The staff that was there did a good job. Very busy. Didn't take long to get drinks or food. Everything was good. We were there in the middle of the week. I'm sure the weekends and summertime is a mess. This area is on the lake and has grown so fast. Will come back in the off-season. read more

Stopped in for lunch and got the BIGGEST club sandwich I've ever seen along with a "Personal" (huge) size of nachos that was absolutely loaded. I've never ever had enough toppings on a plate of nachos until today. We talked about how good it was all day and ended up going back for dinner. Also, the sweet tea is perfect and our server was amazing! I think her name was Danielle? We will soooooo be back! read more

Pretty good but not super great. Moosie's is in a pretty great location and does have a large menu. It's mainly sandwiches. The food is good but nothing spectacular. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I just wish they would shrink and perfect the menu. read more

This place is a redneck shack i don't know how it stays open never have ever gotten something and it tastes good here nothing the food I make at home is better don't waste your money bad service takes to long for food to come out read more

I'm giving Moosies 5 stars because it's far better than the tourist trap restaurant downstairs. Bridgewater is a great place, especially for family fun. But do yourself a favor, eat here or at the pizza place, or the wonderful coffee/sandwich shop next door. Avoid the big outdoor restaurant downstairs.. read more

Had a fun time here with some girlfriends for lunch. We sat by the table that was by the fireplace and also overlooking the lake. My friends ordered drinks. One of them was the wrong drink, but the mistake was quickly corrected. Some of my friends liked their drinks, but one of them got a Bloody Mary that she really didn't like and didn't drink. The server was eager to please and very nice. She talked us out of ordering medium nachos, which was the right choice. We got small nachos and they were HUGE! They were just okay, but they filled a certain need. My friend said the burger was great, and another friend really enjoyed the roast beef sandwich. Mozzarella sticks were standard, but the buffalo wings kind of threw me for a loop. They were breaded, crispy, and not spicy--not what I'm looking for in a buffalo wing. Overall, a fun enough place to spend lunch time. I'd go back, but probably order differently. read more

Went to Moosie's last week, it was a cheat day and I had the French dip! It was so good y'all! Service was great also there at the bar! My friend got nachos and had a few changes made to it, it came out just like she asked and we just had a nice time there. Service with a smile, very attentive and ambiance was warm & welcoming! Enjoy! read more

Menu did not reflect what was ordered. Salad "greens" was plain Romaine. Great dressing. Grilled chicken dry. Great lake view and nice wait staff. read more

Stopped in with my wife on a lazy Saturday afternoon. We just recently moved back into the area from Fargo and wanted to see the lake. Moosie's has a great view of the lake and there is a large fireplace that keeps it pretty toasty in the fall and spring. They were staffed perfectly and there wasn't a lot of people inside. We decided to a sit at the bar and we bother ordered a drink. My wife elected to try a draft beer and I had the Bloody Mary. I was not a fan of the Bloody Mary. It had a bitter taste that I didn't care much for. My wife enjoyed her beer. We looked over the menu but decided we were not ready to eat so we finished up the cocktails and left. My rating reflects a first time visit, during off peak season and the cocktail wasn't great. I would try this place again along with food in the summer. read more

Slow service and cold food. Really musty and outdated in the restaurant too. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Manager was rlly rude and so was server.

Laid back atmosphere. Literally any kind of sandwich you could want. My husband wanted a club and it was the biggest club we've ever seen. Fried pickles were great and had a nice spicy kick! I had their special - BBQ Chicken Club; it was good. Overall, nice place to grab lunch! read more

Visted for the weekend and after our first visit to Moosie's we came back for a 2nd visit. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend the Moosie Burger, if you have a big appetite. Burgers overall were cooked exactly like we requested. My daughter loved the chicken tenders she ordered them twice. The drinks were yummy and made very well. The waiting staff was very friendly and even being short staffed gave excellent service. Highly recommend Moosie's to anyone visiting Smith Mountain Lake!! Best restaurant on the lake. read more

I looked up places to go to when planning to vacation at Smith Mountain Lake, and Moosie's was on the list of places to go. Honestly, this place is a dive. They were out of some of the menu items, the drinks were not that special, and the food was as to be expected for bar food. The bartender was busy, so the service was slower ... the manager needs to plan better for coverage. The nacho plate is not disappointing. read more

This use to be one of my favorite restaurants at Smith Mtn Lake! Very disappointed in the Nachos today that were the best at Smith Mtn Lake. They have taken a great menu item and made them mediocre. 1/2 the ground beef that used to be in the Nachos! read more

Nachos - lowest grade of beef, tons of lettuce and small amount of nacho cheese. 1 star. Wings - only get 6. Small wings that are the same as 7-11s. 1 star. Cajun chicken sandwich - not much seasoning. Average 3 stars. Also, they only give u a basic tiny bag of lays potato chips opposed to fries with you sandwich. Downgraded to 2 stars. To this places defense I've been other times and had better experiences. read more

Typical bar food with seems specialty in Sandwiches. Overall quality is average. What they have going for them is location on the lake - ability to boat up to with great view. Also large enough to handle large groups (but on weekends in summer expect a wait). The nachos are huge! Great for sharing getting out of the sun. read more

So far, the hostess has been snippy and rude. She has stopped by our table twice to tend to details. Maybe she's trying to make up for the mentioned behavior. Our server has not removed items (bottles) that we have emptied. I came for sandwich #26 - a hot bologna and cheese that is delicious. It satisfies my bologna fix. This place should have a line at the door but it doesn't. My husband got sandwich #25 - a warm hoagie he said was tasty. I had the potato salad (an additional $1.95 charge). It was okay, on the sweet side with no evidence of celery or onion. read more
