Good food great atmosphere

This is my first time here and I'm having a ball. Great drinks and food. Enjoying the employees are friendly.

Great food, music and excellent service from a floating restaurant. Great for families and couples. Dog friendly makes it a top pick for us.

Do you like to go on adventures?If you do, this is a must trip to this restaurant that sits on the lake. It does require planning to make a trip to the marina. Make sure you have sunglasses, water, hat and cash for tipping the cart drivers.Once you arrive, there is an entry fee and you are required to park. They transport you on golf cart to the marina. You will need patience because if there are people waiting there's only room on the cart for 5 people at a time.Once you arrive on the marina everything is accessible from there. The restaurant, the little shops, the boat rentals and boat cruises (weekends only Fri, Sat, and Sun).The restaurant decor and staff were pleasant and very friendly. The food was delicious ?. The only problem is ... there's too many choices. It was quite enjoyable and a fun atmosphere.Our server Matthew was very friendly and entertaining. He made wonderful suggestions ? and he was creative with our drinks because they were out of lemonade.We had a beautiful time and it was worth the trip for a belated birthday ? celebration. Happy eating my peeps.

Fun place! Huge water slide, live bands, games inside for kids. The first thing I enjoyed about this place was that you can see the water under your table from inside the restaurant. The food is also really good. I recommend coming here by boat. It’s a journey from your car to the restaurant. Plan on bringing cash to tip the golf cart driver.

This place is all about the atmosphere!! Despite staying at the lake we had to pay to get into the parking lot. The fun shuttle ride over the pier is fun. We got there a little later than planned and ended up waiting for over an hour. Food was ok. Not great. Live music was fun. The games for the kids weren't working. The food was over priced for not being all that good. Also took over 15 minutes to get a beer. Probably wouldn't make a point to go back unless it was for the experience. Also there was pork in something unexpected and I'm highly allergic so that almost ruined the whole vacation!

It's a fun experience! It's a bit of a hike from the parking lot so be sure to find the golf cart driver (and a little $ for the ride they provide) The food was okay. The atmosphere is what makes it fun. We went Sunday evening and they had live music.

Dillon's was good. I wanted to try the burnt ends, but they were out of stock already so I settled with the brisket. It was a tad dry, but the sauce was very good. The Mac n cheese side was also great and worth getting.

I soon as you arrive you have to pay a seven dollar entrance fee to go down to the lake on Bayou Bay which is not refunded by Dillons restaurant. Years ago it was a free entrance fee when you went to Dylan‘s restaurant on Scorpion Bay. What are they charging for? There is nothing there but a lake and boats docked. There’s not much there! If this is a great setting then people have not been anywhere! Very boring! Food was not much to write home about either! The only thing that was good was my company.

Great views of Lake Pleasant!
