Nice little Bar and Grill. Good food and drinks! The service is great. Fun friendly employees. Outside patio, overlooking Lake Norman. (Live band on weekends.) There's a few boat slips, if you come by boat. Area for biker parking and regular parking.

Some places let the view be the star, but this place it's the food. The service is great. Been there twice now and will go regularly.

Took my son here to eat, and there was so much to choose from that we didn't know what to get, so we ended up ordering multiple things. They did not miss!!! Everything was delicious 😋 Beautiful scenery!

I stopped in here on the way home after a long day in Morrisville. Really solid, good burger as well as a decent draft beer list. The bartender was friendly and made good recommendations. 2/24: Second visit. Similar result. Consistent.

Stopped in for supper after a long day out, it was so nice and relaxing eating outside with the lake view. Our waitress was wonderful and food was delicious! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

This is the COOLEST little waterside bar and grill. The food was absolutely awesome, even for a family with a little one. There was a band setting up when we went, and with the super cool atmosphere, it would be an awesome place to listen to live music. The service was great too. We will for sure be back.

Due to a poor jet ski gas gauge I thought I had enough to go up to the north dam and back below 150. Turns out I was unexpectedly running on fumes according to my gauge. I made it with fuel light blinking at 7:40pm to this establishment and saw the gas dock was closed. I asked a server if anyone could help sell me fuel and she said I think someone in the kitchen knows how to do it. So my son and I were waited on by a very kind staff here and we made it back home before dark and storm. So much gratitude for this crew. They went above and beyond and even offered to let us sleep on a house boat if they couldn't get the pumps back up. Southern hospitality at it's finest. Highly recommend anyone visit them. Their culture is golden❗️♥️

Hidden gem alert! It looks like a place where they sell bait for local fishing haunts...but go sit out on the dock outside...and then it gets nostalgic, like picnicking by the lake. The view was great, but the food was the STAR..The food came out HOT, you could tell it was homemade, the service was exceptional and attentive... If you are in the area, GO! Do not judge this book by its cover!

We were staying at lake Norman State Park and we wanted to try this restaurant for lunch. Great location, good food and excellent service. They even have outside seating with a view of the lake. We highly recommend this place. We will be back.

This place was amazing, as was server Lindsey. The pork ribeye was unlike anything else I've eaten. Salads were baller, side and main. Shrimp tacos were super according to the wife. Wings are jumbo legit. Most importantly, a double pour was a double, not this Applebee's BS. Visit here 110% recommended!!!
