Upon arriving for a first timer...I was confused on the process of getting a table and ordering food. There was no signage anywhere that said...please seat yourself and order at the bar. That would've helped tremendously. I had to ask someone to get some guidance. We originally chose a table in the sun since it was the only one available and waited for someone to clean one in the shade and moved there. They have the triangle sun shades above to shade you from the sun. Drinks - we ordered beers and for myself I ordered a skinny colada. 10/10 on the drink, it was refreshing and delish. Orders at the bar and brought back to our table. Food - I ordered the South of the Border rice bowl with chicken. 9/10 on that item. It was a little sparse on the chicken otherwise it was really good. Flavors were nice. Hubby ordered the pulled pork platter with a side of coleslaw. He was blown away by the bbq sauce which was provided on the table and said this Memphis style bbq is no joke...it's delish. He also wishes he had more meat on his platter. We'll be back to buy some BBQ sauce for sure.

So, logically, when I decided that this would be the year for me to finally wrap my head around this whole "snowboarding thing" they were my go-to guy, er.. store. I stopped in mostly just to figure out what size boot I needed, since it is a bit different than fitting a ski boot or a shoe, and walked out with a really comfy, and kind of snazzy looking, pair of boots for under $200.

The boat was nice and clean (maybe 2-3 years old showed some signs of use/wear/tear). Try to carpool with your group, as there isn't much parking.

I have now owned two used boats and have brought them both to Nelson to buy and rig electronics. I upgraded my boat last year and wanted it professionally rigged.

From a new ladder off the back to an onboard charger, two depth finders, and swapping my Terrova from my last boat (and cleaning up/replacing wiring issues from the last owner) they got this boat set up perfect.
