This place had really good food! I got the GF Hawaiian pizza and it was easily the best GF pizza I have ever had! We also got the Cheese and Bacon Tots for an appetizer and that was delicious as well! They used cheese sauce instead of shredded which made it so much better! My brother in law said the burger was kinda dry and bland though. Lack on one star for the atmosphere is because I felt like we had to try talking loud to be hear each other, due to other patrons talking loudly. Guess that's not the restaurants fault though.🤷🏼‍♀️Dietary restrictions: They had GF pizza options.

Depends on what waitress you get, some are very rude and have very little customer service skills. If they know you and like you they will be nice but if they don't like you they are rude and won't wait on your table. My husband and I have been loyal customers for years but when we go there's certain waitresses that refuse to wait on us. We are exceptional tippers too! Management doesn't do anything about it, instead they cover for the certain girls. I've never been to a restaurant and feel so unwelcomed!

Very good food served by a sweet and funny waitress. I ordered a grilled chicken salad (no tomatoes) with ranch dressing. It was delicious, but the salad was like a shredded topping kind of lettuce if you don't mind that. The ranch was also kind of chunky (though I may have just gotten the wrong kind and didn't realize) but it was still good. The fries were the best I've had at any restaurant and the All Meat Pizza was my husband's favorite, he recommends it to anyone who comes here.

So grading against othe bars type places A 5 requires great servers who engage with you. KILLER FOOD with everything stepped up. A 4 food is better than most and still an effort for the server to be engaged. WELL A 3 is edible food.Our server could not get the order correct. Inconstant food. GREAT FRIES. Very good burger. Half raw pork tenderloin and lifeless salad.Nice patio seating

Had heard their pizza was good, but was pleased to find it was superb! Crust was not too thick or thin; edge was just a touch crispy while rest of crust was delightfully chewy. They are generous with the cheese and toppings. Everything was just perfect! They have a nice kids menu and lots of sandwich, appetizer, salad and beer options. A lovely gem in an out-of-the-way locale. Well worth a drive. Serve was excellent, too, even though they were rocking a half hour before closing!

Stopped there for lunch today. Great food and service! I had the brisket sandwich and I was not disappointed! BBQ sauce was good but I can buy Sweet Baby Rays at the store. Onion rings also did not disappoint, quite yummy. Everyone else really enjoyed their food too. Great stop on a Jeepin’ road trip!

Bar food. Everything fried! Not enough staff to quickly serve you, although they worked hard and still managed to take care of the large crowd. My breaded tenderloin was more like a fried pork chop. Delicious, yet a little fatty. My wife was happy with her fish sandwich. The French fries were tasty. Couldn't eat it all. The iced tea was good. Not fine dining but overall a good meal.

We were visiting nearby for the week and this was our closest option for getting something to bring back to our cabin. We ordered a pizza and some smoked wings. The pizza wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t the worst either, the wings had a kind of slimy texture to them like they weren’t cooked enough. They pretty much have a monopoly in the area because of the lake and all the lodging surrounding them. It kind of had the feel of a fly by night operation, I’m sure some days are better than others when it comes to quality. I had no expectations when ordering, it is what it is.

Atmosphere wasn't bad, so I was expecting good service and good food. However, service was underwhelming. Host staff was rude and waitress was slow and inattentive. Not entirely the waitress's fault though, considering we were a larger party and she told the host she didn't want us seated in her section, probably due to having plenty of other tables already. Food was not very good to end up over $20.

One of our favorite go to places for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon quick bite to eat. Anything smoked on the menu is always a no brainier, but it's hard to beat the wings. BBQ pulled pork pizza is another favorite that is hard to pass up. The staff are always great and the laid back atmosphere on the deck makes for some relaxing dining!

Great spot for lunch or dinner - especially outside. Nice covered patio area. Wings are very good and service was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go again.

We recently had a family wedding at the Patoka Lake Winery and hired Benny’s Off the Water to do the catering for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding, and we could not be happier with our decision. The menu selection was extensive for both events, and the food was outstanding! It was a pleasure working with Marty as he was not only professional and personable, but his culinary expertise was outstanding. We highly recommend this unexpected catering treasure.

We stopped in for dinner after being on the lake all day. Food was good and the portions were large. We were there at least an hour before the kitchen closed, but everyone was busy trying to close for the night. Our waitress was nice but we had to keep flagging her down for drink refills. Most of the time we had at least 5 servers standing around talking about their plans to party when the customers finally left. We were also lucky enough to hear a story about another one of them who "vomited all over the place" the last time they all partied together. So glad my family and I were able to hear all about that while we were eating.....Looking forward to a 5 star visit next time

Stopped in on a Sunday early evening. Got in right before it became a little busier. Service was great, very friendly. We did not plan on stopping and we had our puppy along for the Jeep ride. We sat in the outdoor covered area with her. They were great in asking if we needed a little plastic bowl for water. My wife had a fish sandwich and I had the breaded fried tenderloin. My wife said the fish sandwich was good. I did not try it but my tenderloin sandwich was the best in the area for sure. It is fresh and tenderized with great breading. Not frozen like you see a lot anymore. If a restaurant has a tenderloin sandwich I normally have to try it to see how it compares and they knocked it out of the park. Thanks for the hospitality.

We loved our first experience here! Definitely will be going back as we loved the outdoor dining area and the service was fast and on spot! The food was even better with my brisket sandwich w/barbecue just melting in my mouth the meat was just right! We loved the breading on the large fries as well and my fiance had the buffalo boneless wings and said they were great! The only not great thing was the mac n cheese which was to runny but not bad flavor! Beyond the great service we even were checked on by Benny himself I believe making sure everything was cooked right! Oh yeah I almost forgot the amazing best breadsticks around we had for appetizer! We ate 3 of the 4 before I could take a pic!
