We needed a quick place to eat while driving from SC to GA, last Friday (Memorial Day weekend), yet didn't want junky, fast food. We came upon this place right off the highway. It had decent reviews for most, menu sounded good, and we had planned on getting it to go.
Then we got there - 4 min off the exit or less. And we saw how relaxing it was by the lake, and decided to stay to eat.
My son ordered the kids chicken tenders meal for $10, and for his side, he ordered the Mac and cheese. It was a $3 up charge instead of fries, but very worth it. It was a huge portion and real deal Mac n cheese- a whole nother meal! The chicken was also good and a big portion! It came w a dipping sauce but he didn't want it. Lol he had plenty of leftovers.
We ordered two things to share: the plate of 3 tacos- we chose the grilled shrimp. Delicious! $15. They had other taco protein options like jerk chicken, fried fish, and I believe brisket? With all the toppings. But the catch is that you have to have all 3 tacos be the same.. or else we would've tried 3 different ones lol. The shrimp was great though! Great flavor, sauces, tender shrimp, filling.
We also got a big salad. $13 I think? I can't remember the name but it's the one that's similar to a Cobb salad: greens, cucumbers, pickled onions- yum!, hardboiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, bacon, and their in-house made white vinaigrette was so good! (The dark balsamic wasn't good to me).
Our server was great, very sweet, bubbly, and patient. She checked on us, got our food out fast, got us extra dressing, etc. I forgot her name, but she's younger and said she has a 2 year old daughter.
Neat place inside. Casual, very lake/ beach feel, right on lake Hartwell, and you could see everyone getting on and off boats. Big windows to see out. (Some did need some major cleaning lol and bugs galore way up in the rafters lol. But all good.) Outside seemed like a nice patio w views.
We left happy, full, relaxed, and it was very fast, so no stress! Good quality good, we didn't feel heavy after. Flavorful. Great experience, so we'll definitely make a stop on our drives to GA and back, and maybe come do a lake day too!

Small/ medium lot. We didn’t have trouble parking. May be more parking that I’m unaware of.
Kid-friendliness
Very kid friendly on patio and inside. A family place, very causal, many big tables and booths. Laid back feel. Kids menu is great. Mac and cheese is so good.
