Pizza was incredible along with brisket sandwiches. Can't say enough positive. The atmosphere and the live music was great!! The best bbq sandwich I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend!! The food was amazing, and service was quick. We spent more time hanging out and relaxing than we did waiting on our orders. Prices are to be expected for lakeside. Portions are huge!

I never write reviews. However, this food experience is so horrible, I felt the need to warn…read moreothers not to waste your time or money. I've worked in food service for 30 years and been a lake goer for at least that long. The Jamestown Marina and Mama JJ in particular has lost our business forever. I also very rarely send food back or make a fuss or give a kitchen a chance to make it right. Today, on the lake the food was so stale and cold and the pork so hard and rubbery I hope we don't get food poisoning from the few bites we took trying it. It was not chewable and not swallowable. I asked the staff to make it right or for something else - they send me back an even worse entree that was even more cold and more stale ... I threw it in the trash. Here's a suggestion... if the customer asks or gives you the chance to make a bad experience better - try to do that and keep their business. Don't make it worse. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time with 5 employees. The server had to go get the cook from smoking hanging out on the dock and the other servers just stood around goofing off. We are retired and spend seven days a week on the lake in the summer. We spend a lot of money eating out on the lake. We will travel to the state dock, wolf creek or rowena or go hungry rather than give this place our money and business anymore.

Nachos were pitiful- minimal toppings and $12.50. Frozen drinks $15 each. $70 meal and I would've rather gone to McDonald's. We came here 2 years ago and it was incredible! I assume ownership has changed, but it's a DRAMATIC (and unfortunate) difference.

Just wish the management or owners would step up to make some improvements to the way the whole restaurant is run. I saw a hostess sitting tables, bussing tables, carrying ice, serving, and even putting the shades down all in a one hour dinner. Come on. Hire more people, or don't seat 200. One or the other.

We ordered the Loaded Beer Cheese appetizer. It was a good size order and so delicious! The fries were cooked perfectly, great flavor, and served hot. We ordered the Reel Deal Stacker, Bourbon Boy, Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, and the Pheelin Good Philly. Again, large portions that none of us could finish despite the great flavors and quality. We grabbed a Carrot Cake and Chocolate Cake with Cookie Dough Filling to go. Again, both were large portions and so good! We definitely enjoyed this restaurant and recommend you give it a try!

She indeed had the catfish dinner with cole slaw and onion rings. And she loved it, a huge order that would also be her dinner for the evening. I opted for the philly cheese steak sandwich tgat came with one side, coke slaw. The slaw was good and the sandwich was served with oinions and green peppers (I declined the mushrooms). It too was very good, steak was tender and the veggies were hot but still crunchy on a hoagie bun that was toasted. We had coconut and butterscotch pie for dessert. We split both slices and both, homemade were very tasty. Meriguine pilled high with creamy filling and great flavor. Plenty of parking, decent prices. They also have a drive thru. Service was efficient and friendly, although we did have to go up to the counter to order our desserts since the waitress didn't come back after we finished our meal to take our dessert orders. But the girl at the counter was nice enough to cut both slices of pie in half and put half of each in to go containers. Typical counrty cafe with clean bathrooms, a few booths, tables and a pay at the counter set up. I wouldn't drive 2 hours to eat here but if in the area I would return.
