    Restaurant on the water
    Samantha G.

    We wandered around the lake and stumbled upon The Boathouse on a busy Sunday evening. The restaurant was lively! A few tables for outdoor seating, and a handful indoors if you prefer to enjoy the AC. Our server, Megan, was attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the cheeseburger (came with fries), and my fiancé ordered the patty melt. The cheeseburger was good. The meals were very generously sized. Lots of families enjoying their meals here after a long day out on the lake!

    Came for lunch. Nice little unassuming restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, although it was too hot for us to sit out. Bacon blue cheese burger, Nashville hot chicken, and the Philly were all good. Rum punch and jalapeño pineapple margarita were good too. Our server was friendly and did her job well. Will returns when in the area enjoying the lake.

    We've ate here twice now while boating on lake Lavon. Easy to tie up, dock and restaurant are clean, and the staff is very friendly. They have clean high chairs for the kiddos. Everything we've had there is delicious. Mostly we get chips and queso blanco and the quesadillas. Be sure to try their house margarita or frozen! Our friend had the Philly cheesesteak today and said it's the best he's ever had. Definitely stop here for lunch or dinner if you are on the lake!

    The lakeside appeal isn't what makes this place great, that fault lies within the walls and is attributed to a pair of family friendly owners who are turning this place around. I had the burger of the week which was a hatch green chili burger with a side of fries. The burger was cooked very well, and fries were seasoned perfectly. Some might call this place a "hole-in-the-wall" but I think of it more as an un/re-discovered gem. The beer was cold, food was great, and it is on the lake. Winning all around. Was great from the owners conversation, to the sweet waitress, to the chef. Really good people!

    Fabulous and well-executed concept from the same company as Ferah Tex-Med at the Firewheel Mall…read more The interior decorator did a great job. It feels kinda bbq themed but upscale. I liked it alot! First off, I love waiters who know the menu. She gave lots of details to our questions. The bartender also amazing. They accommodated my daughter's request for a non-alcoholic, frozen pina colada, which she loved. The hibiscus herb margarita is something I want again and again. Food items we had and recommend: - the Mexican chopped salad with shrimp and guacamole - the loaded nachos with brisket - the brisket tacos I saw other reviewers complain about the brisket, but I wholeheartedly disagree- I thought the meat was tender and flavorful. We were too full for dessert, but we look forward to trying that out when we come next time!

    We had a reservation for Saturday at 6:30 pm to celebrate Mother's Day, and the experience was…read moredisappointing from the moment we walked in. No one actually seated us -- we were just pointed toward a table. No menus were given. Cornbread was dropped off, still no menus. I eventually had to get up and grab them myself from the host stand. They apologized, but even then, they simply handed them to me instead of bringing them over. It wasn't busy, and I'm extremely patient -- I was a server for years -- but this was frustrating. It took about 10-15 minutes before anyone came by. Our server was friendly, but he didn't write anything down for our party of seven, and we ended up repeating our drink order. That should have been the first sign of how the rest of the night would go. We ordered the platter ($23), and the portion was surprisingly small: two BBQ meatballs, two mac and cheese bites, queso, and a tiny basket of chips. The food runner who dropped off the meals was rude, and the portion sizes overall were shockingly small for the price. The only dishes that felt worth ordering were the penne pasta and the pork chops. The short rib tasted great, but for $30, the portion was extremely underwhelming. When we ordered another round of drinks, mine was forgotten -- again, likely because nothing was written down. I had to let our server know it never arrived. He apologized and came back to say the bartender was busy and working on it. The bartender eventually brought it out personally. What really added to the disappointment was that the server noticed we had gifts and asked what we were celebrating -- but this was after we were already paying and packing up. I had noted on the reservation that we were celebrating Mother's Day, but even without that, it's something you typically acknowledge at the beginning of the meal, not at the very end. And based on other reviews I've read, this seems to be a pattern: instead of genuinely trying to fix issues, they either apologize in a way that feels empty or blame the customer for their experience. So I'm sure they'll have something to say about this review too. Can't wait for the response. Do better. Also, be aware -- because they do NOT mention this -- that parties of six or more are automatically charged a 20% gratuity. With the level of service we received, it felt unfair. If you're going to charge high prices, the service needs to reflect that. It didn't. We won't be returning. And honestly, the 1‑star reviews are accurate. Just prepare yourself. $400 dinner for lack luster experience ‍

We also received a complementary hummus because we had to wait a while due to the rice not being cooked yet. I didn't mind and the server was really kind to us. The absolute star of the menu is the Greek fries. The garlic sauce that is used is one of the best garlic sauces I have tried. The crinkle cut fries are the perfect choice as the vessel of flavors for the garlic, feta, seasonings, and fresh parsley. I would go out of my way to get these fries. The vegetarian plate has a great balance of different options. The falafel was light and crisp with a great flavor. The dolmas were not too sour and I really enjoyed it. The baba ganoush had a mild smoky flavor that I really liked and really needed in this dish!! The pickles were flavorful and had a good crunch. The hummus was nutty and creamy. My only problem with this dish was the surprisingly small portion of rice. It needed double the rice to help with the portions of all the other elements. The gyro plate was very good however the portion of meal was surprisingly small. I read reviews about how they filled their plates with good portions of meat and toppings however the amount we were served felt like we were being rationed. The restaurant for the most part was clean. There were just a few clutter of boxes in the back of the restaurant on the way to the bathrooms. The restrooms were also clean. I would definitely come back and try the chicken and beef options as well as come back for those wonderful Greek fries.

    We knew we were in for a great night at Creekside Fine Grill when we sat down and saw the room…read morefilled with a mix of families, couples, and regulars who clearly knew this place well. There is a certain energy in a restaurant when people trust it, and Creekside has that. We started with the crab and shrimp dip, which came out hot, creamy, and loaded with flavor. It is one of those appetizers that everyone at the table keeps going back to without even thinking about it. For dinner, we ordered the Red Snapper Alexander and the chicken cutlet parmesan, and this is where the night really took off. The red snapper was cooked perfectly, topped with sautéed shrimp in a white wine sauce that added flavor without overwhelming the fish. The balance was impressive, and the presentation matched what you would expect from a much higher priced restaurant. Then there was the chicken parmesan. As Italians, we do not say this lightly, but this dish stood out in a big way. Creekside blends Alfredo and marinara into a creamy, well-balanced sauce that takes a classic and elevates it. The chicken was lightly breaded, the mozzarella was fresh, and every bite delivered. We awarded this dish our Best of the Best for Chicken Parmesan, and that is something we reserve for dishes that truly separate themselves from the rest. Service was excellent throughout the night. Our server Erin was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped guide us to some great choices. One small note, the fish and chips did not quite match the level we had experienced on a previous visit. It was still good, just not at the same level we had come to expect. That said, it did not take away from what was otherwise a fantastic meal. If you are looking for a place that delivers an upscale feel without the upscale price tag, this is it. Great for date nights, family dinners, or just a night out where you want consistently good food.
