Shrimp tacos were fresh and delicious. My BIL loved the jalapeño burger. My husband appreciated the portion sizes and taste of the chicken fingers. Loved the blackberry mojitos. read more

Nice views, plenty of parking, plenty of picnic table seating outside. If you looking to a bar-food type menu with a brew in the side then enjoy your time here. We had chicken wings, fries, Caesar salad, and Fish sandwich. We enjoyed sitting at one of the picnic tables in some gorgeous weather. Staff and other patrons were really nice too. read more

Hunter was great. He told us a lot about the lake. The cocktails were good. We had grilled shrimp. It was good. The sauce for the onion rings was great. Not everyone provides sauce for the onion rings. read more

Friendly service but the food reminded me of bar food. The restaurant is next to the lake which makes for pleasant scenery. Good place to go as you come back from a day of boating but not the place to go if you're looking for a good dining experience. read more

The Grill is now open Friday to Sunday from 11-9. They are open for take out but there are picnic tables in the area where you can sit down. The food is hot and fresh and fast. I think everyone would find something on this menu that pleases them. The manager, Kyndle, is super friendly and wants to make sure everyone is getting great food and enjoying it. She seems to love her job and it shows. She interacts well with customers and seems to have a great relationship with the other employees. They are very focused on making sure we are safe with the COVID days we are in. I felt things were very clean and they were serious about ensuring it was a safe environment for both the customers and employees. If you are on the lake looking for a quick bite to eat you will be glad if you stop in here. I would definitely highly recommend it. read more

Fun atmosphere. Food is good. Good selection of beer. Overpriced. On the lake! Fun in the summer.

Good "lake" food. These people have a prime location right on the lake... it's on a peninsula across from the Clemson football stadium. I don't know why people who own restaurants on the lake don't up their game just a notch. I think people would be willing to pay 10% more for better food. But this is decent to "good" and they have good docks for boats, so... end of complaining. Speaking of docks. Theirs is near the lighthouse. There must be 10 or 12 spots for boats. If you are there after 5:00 the gas dock is closed and it seems that you can park there and walk just a bit more to the Grill. Both are owned by the marina, so I will presume that they would not object to making money from food... This is a cut above most lakeside places that I have eaten... We have been here multiple times, so that speaks for itself. Food 3.0 The burgers are huge, juicy and on a decent bun. Good fresh lettuce. Fries are OK. Not fresh, but hey this is a "grill"... The shrimp tacos are a favorite of mine. Nicely made, with enough shrimp that you don't feel cheated. I have had the fish tacos a few times. Also good. Plenty of fish. A tip for those who don't want the extra 600 calories of fries... They will sub a salad in exchange for your fries. Ambiance 4.5 (If you like the lake) This is a lakeside grill and it had the flavor of a lakeside grill. Good appropriate music, fans, open air, some covered seats... Come by boat, wear your swimsuit. The place reminds me of any number of places I have eaten in the Caribbean or South America. Service 3.5 I can get your own drinks and beer from the small bar.. Servers will bring food to your table... If the food were just a bit better I would be truly thrilled. But as a boater, I love this place... read more

The turkey club was just OK, nothing special, but the overall vibe was great...on Lake Hartwell, nice staff. My visit was on gameday Saturday, and we were slightly ahead of the big crowd that descended on the area around noon, so we were lucky in that regard. I'll definitely go back. read more

We're a little confused as to where to sit and order as this was our First time here. Really enjoyed the food and the view!! read more

This is a pretty stand up place. Located across the lake from Clemson University, the place appears to be run by students, but the service here was great - now granted, it doesn't have to be all that since you actually order at a window and take a number to be called when your food is ready. They have a good selection of fish and other sandwiches, burgers, etc. All of the food we had was done well, I especially loved my catfish sandwich and would definitely go back for another. What gives this place kick is that it's located in the Clemson Marina (used to be Seneca Marina) and is a great place to fuel up the boat and stop in for dinner, with a great view of the lake, cornhole, and a playground for the kiddos. Large TVs are in the dining area so you can catch a game or what not, I'm sure this will be a great place to kick back during football season. I'll be back for sure, even if not just for a random visit. I'd be on a five star here but you can only get the burger well done, and my other half star subtraction would be that it is not a full service restaurant. For as many employees as they had, they could definitely stand to be full service. read more

Our go-to lake eatery! We almost always stop for a bite when we take friends and family out on the lake. The food is good, the servers are friendly and responsive and the atmosphere is fun and casual. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great service....what more can you expect from a local place? Definitely recommend for anyone in the area looking for good food and good atmosphere! read more

Great location, average bar food, burger/chk fingers/fries - nice staff Stopped in, just wanted to get outside for a bit - had live music which was nice, a bit loud but maybe just me - not so sure I would come again read more

Great place to have lunch on the lake. We have been here twice and both times the food has been great. The burgers taste like they have been charbroiled and are so good. If burgers aren't your style the salads are huge and taste really fresh. Guaranteed to have a wonderful meal here. Is a little pricier but the ambiance and quality of the food makes it worth it. read more

This was a good find. Everything we tried was delicious. Plenty of picnic tables and they're dog friendly.

Enjoyed eating outside at The Grill today. Beautiful view of the lake. The food was good. The husband and daughter liked their burgers and I enjoyed my blt. Fries were hot and fresh. We definitely will be back on our next trip. read more

Oh my goodness!! This place was amazing! We were looking for a place for dinner. I saw the reviews and thought, why not? The view was so peaceful. The food was great! If we weren't exhausted, we would have stayed and hung out. We will definitely be going back. read more

While waiting for a meeting at Freedom Boat Club I had some time to kill. The young ladies working there were very nice. I ordered the cheeseburger with bbq sauce and a couple of onion rings on it. It came with fries. I couldn't tell if the cheeseburger was freshly grilled but it was definitely preformed. It was thick but rather dry and tasteless. The fries were pretty tasteless, too. They had a very sweet, very odd tasting ketchup. Best part of the meal was the beer. read more

Just watched a member of the "crew" in the kitchen picking his nose, wiping it off on his shirt before handling food.

Nice casual venue on Lake Hartwell. A good place to boat to for lunch or drive to for a peaceful view of the Lake. Located across from the Clemson campus. You order from a casual menu at a window. They have a bar as well. Your food is brought to you at the table of your choice. The food is just average burgers, sandwiches and salads. Adequate but not great. You come here for the casual lakefront dinning. read more

Looking for a casual lake restaurant and found it on Lake Hartwell!! Clemson Marina Restaurant was just what we wanted. Casual atmosphere, great food and lake view.. We had the 3 shrimp tacos and shrimp poboy. Will come back and bring friends!! read more

Warning: This is long I would never complain or post a complaint about an experience with any business because I have never had a negative experience or situation where the managers or employees did not attempt to make the situation right or at least apologize. So given that is what we experienced yesterday, I decided to go ahead. We have been going to "The Grill" at Clemson marina for years during the hot summer days of football to eat and enjoy watching the game, we have always been pleased with the atmosphere, food, and friendliness of their staff... until yesterday. We had been seated and my husband decided to call in the order over the phone as we were watching the game, the person who answered the phone, took our order and was aware that we were there, already had tab, and were seated! No problem, right?? WRONG!! The place was obviously busy, given it's a hot Saturday on the lake and Clemson is playing a home game. There were only 2 servers- a waitress- Melissa who was very nice and another male server, who also seemed nice, both of them were working their tails off, non stop, and still smiling! The waitress had a tray of food in hand and called order #21 for at least 5 minutes- going from corner to corner and side to side, with no claim from any of the customers. She came to us, my husband said that we had a call in and couldn't remember being given a number. He told her what we had ordered and she said that's exactly what I have on this tray, so it must be your order because no one has claimed it (that seemed logical to all of us), so we gladly accepted what we thought was our food. We were eating at our table when another employee with reddish haired was standing on the other side of restaurant staring at us and making mean gestures and faces towards us. My husband was like, "is she trying to say something to us, she seems mad, let me go over there and see what's going on." He went up to her and said "ma'am is there a problem?" She responded by yelling with "Yes there is a problem, y'all screwed up another tables food and order because y'all called your order in and we don't even take call in orders here and y'all took their order!" My husband said "sorry, no one informed me that I couldn't call in the order when I did it and your attitude and the looks your giving me are crazy and I don't appreciate it" he then turned away and came back to the table. She then followed him back to our table and proceeded to argue with him by saying "we're understaffed"... etc etc. I then interceded and said "well it sounds like a management problem here... poor management". She gave me the most evil, crazy eyes I have ever seen and said "it's not a management problem, the problem is people don't want to work!!" And I then responded by saying "yes, probably due to poor management!". She then said, "I'm the manager and I don't appreciate that comment!!" And she walked away. Within 2 minutes another employee- a man (brown haired, small build) came over to our table and looked at my husband and said "what's your problem?" My husband said- "my only problem is that rude manager and the way that she looked and spoke to me and caused a scene." He said "I'm the manager!" I then said- "my husband didn't know that y'all didn't take call ins and no one told him that when the order was placed, in fact they knew. We understand y'all are short staffed, but I did let the lady know that was probably due to poor management". He then gave us a nasty look and turned and walked away (we never saw him again). Neither "manager" ever introduced themselves, nor apologized! We then requested our tab, tipped our sweet waitress generously and watched the rest of the game, and left. We will never be going back! **I must also add, that 3 strangers who witnessed the event, approached us and said that they were unprofessional towards us, the red headed lady was rude to them as well, and they were very disappointed in their service! read more

What a gem in Clemson! They've just opened for the season so the weather was perfect to enjoy the fantastic views of Lake Hartwell and Memorial Stadium. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. All dining is outside where they have covered and deck seating. We definitely look forward to coming back. read more

With out a doubt the worst burger I ever tasted. Even though ordered medium it was delivered well done. Tasted like it had freezer burn. Ten bucks for a burger with no sides. Never again. read more

We used to come here all of the time and we would always bring our out of town guests here because it was a fun boat outing and they had good food for a reasonable price, but this year they raised their prices and cut down on the quantity of food, so we have found other places on the lake to go to. It's too bad because the kids always liked playing on the swing set. read more

Great place for lunch or late afternoon snacks- really nice view of the Lake. Relaxing without a rush to eat and run. Food was good and cold beer reasonably priced. Good family atmosphere read more

Great fun and food when looking away to get away from the football crowd.

A must when you are on the lake and want some food (& yummy drinks) in a laid back atmosphere where you can come straight off the lake and not worry about attire, as long as you are covered of course. read more

We take the long boat ride from the damn. Makes for a fun day of cruising. Normal bar style food. We have always enjoyed everything we have ordered. We like the open air style seating. Normal play cornhole and drink a beer while waiting on food. read more
