The Sunday Brunch Buffet was delicious but the atmosphere was the icing on the cake. All of the staff seemed happy with one another and showed excellent customer service. There was even live music!

Beautiful spot! We sat outside after running a 5K nearby and had the fried grouper sandwich. I wouldn’t recommend the sweet potato tots, but the rest of the meal was great. Service was great, and it was very dog friendly!

We went up to Skogies to see Southern Hospitality and enjoy a nice night on the water. Boat parking was easy to find and nice enough for guest slips.

The food and service were great. The live band was a super extra bonus. We ate outside, and the tents they had in place made us very comfortable.

Great food and excellent customer satisfaction. We drove up from the south end of the lake Saturday morning for breakfast. We did not realize they were not serving breakfast anymore on Saturday’s. The owner came over and said they would serve us breakfast although it was a mistake on the website. We were super thankful bc they went over and above to cook us a delicious breakfast out of the food truck. Give them a chance as they have been through a lot with the remodel from the fire at their restaurant.

We went this past Friday night for the first time because we were over that way and I’ve been wanting to try it for a while. We got there about 6:10pm and we waited forever and forever. I was ready to just leave, we didn’t get our food until about 7:05. The atmosphere was good with a live band and corn hole for my son and husband to play with but my 1 year old was getting restless waiting so long for food. Our waitress only checked on us once during that whole hour to see if we needed anything. I understand that it’s an outside establishment but the plastic picnic tables they have, have no really good way to wipe down and clean them good or the high chairs for that matter. The bathrooms did not feel clean and the shower door for the stall did not close all the way or no way to lock it. When we finally got our food, the manager told us that they had had a kitchen fire a couple of weeks ago and were working out of the food truck. It would’ve been nice to have known that at the hostess stand that it was going to take an hour because we would’ve left to go somewhere else and not waste the money there. I felt like it was too expensive for the amount of food we got. My son’s cheeseburger was burnt and he didn’t like the type of bun that was used. We won’t be back.

First time there. Great little find. On the water and had a great band, called Southern Hospitality. The Philly cheese steak was the best one I’ve ever had. Honestly, that’s true. If everything else was awful, I’d go back for the Philly again, but it was an all around great experience. Nice place to sneak off to. 2 thumbs up from this guy, give it a try!

DO NOT GO!!! The only seating is outdoor only, there was no AC or fans out. We were mislead thinking there was indoor seating. The tables were very dirty and bugs were everywhere. The server warned us about the Yellow Jackets that were everywhere. When bugs were in my drink and I asked for a new cup he dumped out my drink in-front of me and refilled the same cup. The sweet potato tots were bitter and not good at all! The wings were very basic and cooked okay, but definitely not worth the rest of the day. There was a very dirty child running around, serving food and doing serving tasks one was around 8-10 and one under 7. Super expensive. We were not given caps for the cup and when I asked for a lid, or lemon, or anything else the answer was “I don’t think we have that, I’ll see what I can find.” The mustard was COVERED in dirt and grim and I was scared to use any condiments. If this is how it looks to the customers, I am scared to see the indoors! Props to the cook who was also the server but do not recommend to anyone.

Went here for a lakefront Father’s Day brunch. The food was good and service was amazing!! Juan was our server and he was so very attentive! This place is lakeside dining and the view of the marina while enjoying brunch was great. They allow your four legged family members as well. We will be back and are glad we found this fun brunch spot!!

As others mentioned, lots of yellow jackets. Food was average. The server was super sweet, she was working by herself and her young daughter (5) was helping, but eventually she played with our kids. It took a bit to get menus and drinks, but the server was the only one working, with two in the kitchen, food didn’t take too long, but I can understand how it would take a long time if it was busier. Not very gluten free friendly. There’s a salad option, probably good for preference but definitely not if you have an allergy.
