What a great location!! First time here and absolutely loved the vibe/atmosphere here. Very fun and welcoming! Our server Dara was the best server we had encountered in YEARS!! Her attention to detail, and customer satisfaction was 5 tier. The food was good, but nothing stood out. Cobb salad was on greens .vs romaine was sparce. Husband had the chicken sandwich which was tasty, but not proportionate. My friends burger was good perfect, but cold, so we're the fries. Cook staff could do better. We will be back because I loved the space and location. It has promise, just needs a boost in the kitchen

First time! Definitely had that tiki bar vibe. I enjoyed the water views from 180° at the pier, when I stilled after my lunch. Fish was tasy and the coleslaw was remarkably good. Others had jumbo and couldn't get through a spoonful without slurping. I was jealous. There bowls could have used a biscuit/roll to sop up the gravy. (When you're that good, you have to go all the way to Louisiana.) One of my riding buddies walked around on the turf. He looked like he wanted to take off his boots. Our server (with the tat) insured everyone had a great time after riding from Daytona Beach.

Nice informal american place by the lake. The service was a bit slow, but cordial. The menu has many choices, including some Gluten free options, but there's a mistake in the menu by saying the "Fried pickles" are GF when they are not, so we asked for the fish dip (gluten free) and they brought it with regular crackers instead of carrots, celery or cucumber. My salmon was good, but the mahi was a very small portion. For the price, a complimentary salad would be nice!. They have a great bar with live music and a beautiful view. We will come back and try other items.

Waterfront dining added to the fun atmosphere of Ski Beach bar and Grill. Views of the lake from both inside and on the deck give options for people who enjoy the weather, or not. The menu was extensive and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend the fried oysters! They also have lots of fun cocktails that add to the vacation vibe. The mahi mahi I ordered was a little small and dry, but the manager visited with us personally and made it right. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.

Great place, great view and atmosphere! The chicken Alfredo is probably the best I’ve ever had! If I had to suggest something, it would be to add more veggies. The pulled pork was a huge portion and very good. The bbq sauce has a kick to it.

Delicious lunch to celebrate my parent’s anniversary. I had the Gumbo and Spanish Catfish. Both were amazing. Our waitress, Dina, was fabulous and super sweet. Highly recommend this lakefront restaurant!

I wanted to go someplace where we could sit outside and look out over the water in this place was perfect. Now the food the food was amazing. We cannot wait to go back there. I had the shrimp and grits. I don’t normally like the sausage in them, but this was really good. It didn’t bother me at all. So full of flavor! Yum My boyfriend had the shrimp creole and he said that that was excellent also. We shared an order of fried green tomatoes. They were also very good. Our waiter, Miguel, was so attentive and friendly. He did an awesome job.

We had a lovely lunch Dara was our server and she was,exceptional. She got drinks right away. Our food order was correct for all four of us. Our cocktails were tasty. My friend had the grilled Chicken Cobb salad see pic. I had the Smokehouse BBQ Burger with fries. My husband had the regular cheeseburger with fries. Our other friend had the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. We had beer , Wine and Gator juice a specialty drink. Dara, came back several times to see if we needed refills or other items. The place is clean and beautiful setting on a lake with dockside drive up for your boat. Which is how we found the place. Everything looked delicious. The price point was standard for you get. However nowhere on the menu do they tell you that the fries are pre-seasoned so take that into consideration if you like fries with no seasoning. My Smokehouse Burger was actually cold which was a disappointment but it was cooked medium the way I like it so I did eat it. I think this place is fantastic I think I will give it another try and we'll see what happens.
