We frequented this place a lot prior to Covid. It's always been great...and still is!…read more My only complaint is that prior to Covid, they advertised a great deal...buy this reusable larger cup with the purchase of a bushwacker and you will get it refilled FOREVER with a shot for a certain price (it was $9, I believe). Anyhow, I've come in a few times lately. A lot of employees don't know about this. Tonight, our bartender did seem to remember the offer! Unfortunately, we were informed it stopped after Covid. The glasses we purchased are useless. We were poured a bushwacker in their normal cup and offered a topper for $2. No deal whatsoever. I feel if a customer comes in with the glass and asks for the deal they purchased, it should be honored. You advertised this special...honor it. Anyhow, this is a great place to enjoy a great meal and drinks on the lake. Lots of outdoor dining is available over the water. It's enjoyable to toss some bread to the fish or turtles swimming by. The bushwackers are, indeed, fabulous! The chicken tenders are super tender. Bar fills us with tons of regulars, so get there early to snag a spot at the small bar!

They use habanero in their buffalo sauces so even the mild has a kick to it. The people were nice over all, and very helpful. I only have one small complaint, that is the fries were greasy. This is very normal with "natural cut" fries that are real potato. The reason I say it as a complaint it that they could have been a little less greasy if drained better or cooked in hotter oil. My wife and I agreed we will be back.

Finding the location and parking was a breeze. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a lovely young lady with the warmest Southern drawl. I didn't feel rushed or pressured to order, so I decided to sit down and enjoy my meal. Now, THIS is where the experience really stood out. The conversations with the staff were so natural and welcoming that I genuinely felt like I was visiting family. And guess what? Granddaddy himself came out of the kitchen, where he was cooking, just to sit and chat with me! We had a REAL conversation. He told me about his career, his retirement, and even pulled out his phone to show me pictures of his family. No scripted customer service, no forced small talk. Just genuine Southern hospitality. I absolutely LOVED that! Now, let's get into this FOOD! I ordered 12 wings, half mild and half hot, with a side of collard greens. Everything came out piping hot, fresh, and FULL of flavor. The portions were generous, too. I couldn't finish it all and had to get a to-go box. The food was delicious, but the hospitality is what really made this visit memorable. It's not every day you walk into a restaurant as a complete stranger and leave feeling like family. If you're in the area, PLEASE give this place a visit. Great food, authentic conversations, and Southern hospitality at its finest. 10/10! I'll absolutely be back!

We both had bushwhackers at the suggestion of friends. Very tasty drink. The service was exceptional. Mike, our server, was great, as were the other people we dealt with. The next morning, before leaving on the next leg of our 4,000+ mile road trip, I couldn't find my wallet, which my wife had been carrying in her purse while we were out on a boat. The restaurant was closed on Monday but, after a little detective work we were able to get in touch with the owner, who called an employee who was going in that day to take care of some things. She opened the place up so we could look around. The wallet wasn't there, but man...they did us a huge favor, and we appreciate their kindness and help immensely. I can't say enough about the food, the service, the owner, and C, who opened the place for us. Top notch human beings and a top notch establishment. Our friends ended up finding my wallet in the end, and have FedExed it to our next destination in Louisiana.

Current health inspection is up to 94 from 83 which sounds good, but they still got dinged for roach sightings and other important cleanliness issues.
