Great food and view

Had the nachos this time and the catfish and I was blown away once again. The view as always is just stunning.

Houseboat vacation

Great food. Great service. The best homemade barbecue sauce. There are three different types. All waitresses and bartenders were fantastic. A must do for dinner out on your first houseboat night.

Delicious!

We went for late dinner on a Monday night. It was within a half hour of their posted closing time but we did not get any indication that they were in a hurry to get us out of there. They were out of a few...More

Best View at the Lake

Want good food, great service, and the best view around. Stop into Pier 42 and you can have all that. The Catfish is the best around. So sit back have a cold one and enjoy the view.

Fun place when visiting the lake

When you're out boating and need some refreshment, this is the place. While it does cater to all the tourist it is good for beer and basic food. Take time to feed the turtles on the way in. The draft beer is cold and we...More

Better than most!

Not a raving review but considering they are on a lake at a resort that is seasonal, it was really very good. The best part of the journey is the effort and this place tries. The BBQ is home smoked. Chicken was great and the...More
