The steak fries were nasty, just plain fries, no salt or anything, both burgers were dry and no seasoning, and chicken strips, you guessed it, bland and dry, zero seasoning, close slaw was hot and watery, nasty flavor, mother in laws cottage cheese was warm and tasted off, like come on now, it's sad that frozen fries and chicken from Sam's Club is miles better than this garbage, I'm honestly upset that we payed almost $50 for that crap. I would have said something about how bad the food was but not one time were we asked how the food tasted or if we liked anything, even when I didn't touch the Coleslaw and gave the fries away she never said anything about it, also the place is small and cluttered, very outdated design and furniture, will never be going back and do not recommend at all!

There is boat parking as well as street parking. The covered boat slips are in the narrow side bit they also have the larger double slips. The place has large group and small table seating with indoor and outdoor dinning areas. They have yard games and sand volleyball if you plan to stay a while. A pool table, and music. The bathrooms are clean and nice. The service can be slow if they are even a little busy but you can have a drink or a slush. They have a small gift shop with t shirts sunglasses and novelty items. It a good stop for that end of the lake.

The restaurant has plenty of seating inside, creating a cozy vibe for enjoying your food, plus there are easy to-go options for those on the run. We can't wait to go back for those amazing million-dollar pickles and a bunch of delicious Amish baked goods that are simply unforgettable. The homemade blackberry pie paired perfectly with our homemade ice cream at the lake. On our last visit, we treated ourselves to a freshly made chicken quesadilla that was loaded with flavor and paired perfectly with some zesty salsa. The chicken wrap was just as good, packed with juicy grilled chicken, crunchy veggies, and a tasty sauce, making it a meal we couldn't get enough of. So much better than fast food options and supporting local!

The tenderloin sandwich well executed with a seasoned crispy breading covering a pork loin slice pounded out to 1/4" thickness about twice the size of the bun. That's consistent with the standard in this area, first done by the Smith family of Smith's Restaurant now 5 or 6 miles South on Hwy 13. The fries were absolutely perfect, fries to order, sprinkled with a seasoning that's really very good. Don't skip the fries!
