    Had lunch on the patio by the river. The restaurant was not crowded and parking was available. We started with the fried mushrooms, I ordered chicken fried steak and it was really delicious, my sister ordered smothered grilled chicken and she found it delicious. Our server was ready with anything we needed and recommended the Blackened chicken wrap and we will try it next time. The view is absolutely lovely.

    Tried this place for the first time tonight and really enjoyed the view and all the options for seating. They actually have for portions for seating. Inside, kinda outside, outside and outside next to the water.

    The food was very well done, seasoned, cooked to perfection and very moist. I don't normally order mashed potatoes, but, for some reason I did tonight. Let's just say these were different, they came out cold and had a sort of vinegar flavor to them. I wanted to ask my server about them, but we never saw her again after we ordered food until it was time to get our check.
    She unfortunately didn't receive a very good tip for that and she never refilled my drink.

    If you've never been, go for the food and the view is worth it. We will be back and hope for better service.

    Enjoyed lunch with a group of friends on a Friday. Parking is modest but was adequate when we were there.. you may find it crowded during weekends. We enjoyed the variety of choices for seating.... inside with air conditioning ...or on the air conditioned deck... or on the open air deck which overlooks the swimming area below. I enjoyed their chicken fried steak plate which was a generous portion with real mashed potatoes and savory green beans. The steak itself was reasonably tender ...if not fork tender. Other diners enjoyed the mushroom-onion- swiss burger with fries, very tasty, and the Friday special catfish plate. Also, three of us drank a Bloody Mary (one found the house-made Bloody Mary mix too spicy). An appetizer of fried mushrooms was a tasty starter, as well. Service was prompt and efficient, and prices are reasonable if not inexpensive. Overall, for a nice place to enjoy a beverage of your choice, some good food, and overlook the swimming area, this is a great choice.

    What a nice place alongside the river to dine and people watch. We added a little sat to our food but everything was delicious and affordable! The service was hitting and missing but we enjoyed the view and food in the mean time!

    Fried pickles and mushrooms to start.

    BBQ mac and cheese for the main dish! The pulled pork on top was delicious!
