Visited the restaurant with friends while on an annual bike ride. The place was very clean, staff super friendly, and the food was delicious! Kudos for frying in beef tallow instead of grease. We ate outside, and encountered a few bugs…but that was to be expected. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to visit again.

Some updates have been made, but more needed to the cabins. Really need pot holders and plugs for kitchen sink along with tubs in every cabin. Love the location and staff.

I enjoyed their steak and loaded fries. They were both awesome. My girlfriend had crab legs and fried green tomatoes and she loved her selection. The side salad was one of the best side salads that I have had Ina long time. This would be a great choice if you are looking for a place to eat. Restaurant and bathrooms are clean :)

The food was quite tasty and we were seated quickly despite being there on a busy Saturday night. Our server was very friendly and helpful, and there was atmospheric live music for most of the evening. The area was a bit crowded and noisy, but there were plenty of quiet areas to walk away to for a break. You can drive to and park here on a boat, as we did, with no problems. Also, no dogs are allow... The food was quite tasty and we were seated quickly despite being there on a busy Saturday night.
