        Went here this past Saturday night. Food was t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e... as always. I have to order something fried, that way I can be sure that the bacteria on the food has been killed in the hot grease.



        It's the only place to eat on the lake, so that's why I go there, but the other night was my last straw. The service is awful and the bartenders are so inattentive and rude. I overheard one of them begging a customer for a better tip... ha, what nerve.



        They don't serve shots after 9pm. A customer said that that was so stupid that they don't serve shots past 9 and next thing I know that guy was asked to leave the bar and then punched by the bouncers! The other guy in his party was punched in the head at least three times by the bouncers! The bouncers ganged up on this guy as they were punching him in the head while he was fallen on the ground and the bouncers were holding his arms and legs, so he couldn't defend himself! The cops were called, probably because someone thought the poor guy sustained a concussion or broken skull. When the guy's girlfriend came down to have the bouncers talk to the cops, I witnessed her get plowed palm-to-the-throat and dragged out by the manager!!!!!! What a shame that this place thinks that they can assault people just because they are the almighty bouncers at a freakin hole in the wall place. Wait until these bouncers are charged with assault and battery!



        Wait until the manager realizes that he is a low life, unintelligent, going nowhere individual who beats women. He'll get his I'm sure. Until then, I will not go to this "restaurant" and support something I am completely against- women beaters! Also, I don't want to eat their disgusting food or deal with their rude bartenders and inattentive wait staff again. I'd rather picnic by the lake on my own. At least I'd feel safer and eat better food!

        Can't Wait for it to Open!

        This place rocks! Great place to hang out all summer long. Food is a good value. Nothing special, basic bar fare.
