Pappy's Grill

Reviewed By 4RealMom

The Pappy Burger is thick and juicy with melted cheddar and chipotle mayo. Comes with lettuce, tomato and onion. Very good filling single but also available as a double and triple.The fries were lacking and the all you can eat white fish had a tasteless breading. Good options for cold draft beer and beer by the can is $1.75 every day.Excellent service.

Actually the food is pretty good and the waitresses are very nice. The problem is the kitchen staff. Just too slow for an hour lunch. Buffet is gone which used to get you in and out fast. If you are off work and having a beer and a bite and no big hurry, still a stop for you. If not, move on down the road 3 miles to Mill Dam.

So this was the first place we went to on our new boat for dinner. I was really torn on a three or four star rating. We ordered the nachos and pretzels bites. The waitress told us they were good size portions and the nachos were big. Not so much. Good for one person. The nachos could be bigger and have more meat and cheese. They were kinda dry. The bites were very good. The docks were good enough to dock in and walk on, nothing special. The bathrooms are pretty rough, FYI. The staff was friendly and the inside was open and nice to seat at. We ate outside and the view is great. The tables are really comfortable and are real tables and chairs. So many time I find outdoor seating to always be cheap plastic chairs. So I landed on four stars for the view, outdoor seating and that they offer a first responder and military discount on Thursday nights. So the food is three but I will support them as they support the ones that keep us safe so I gave them a four. Give it a try and I think we will go back.

Port Lounge and Smokehouse

Reviewed By Dawn B

As others have mentioned this place is a total dive. But the best places are. The prices vs serving size is phenomenal. We fed 3 with drinks and lots of leftovers for $40. Papa Boo's is still my favorite lake hangout but this is a close second.

We drove over and were lucky to find parking as the parking situation can be difficult. They had live music that was god sitting outside and the outdoor area is relaxing. Great place to have drinks and maybe an appetizer like the "penny chips" that were good. Overall though the food was average compared to other places on the lake. The indoor area including the restrooms needs remodeled badly but most seasonal places on the lake are similar. Nice people on the staff and a good overall experience.

Hit Island House for the first time. It was small and crowded. It looks like they have a nice deck that would be great in the summer and obviously it would be less crowded. Had one drink and left.

Papa Boo's

Reviewed By Chris B

Situated right on Buckeye Lake, you will absolutely feel like you are on vacation here. Enjoy the great bands, watching the boats go by, and the food and drinks are excellent. Try the Pina Colada on a hot day - refreshing! They have some gluten free options, too. The GF pizza is one of the best around. Enjoy!

Had wings and pizza here tonight. Wings were very tasty. Pizza is a thin crust and could have been cooked a bit longer, but was good. Enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly service. Would definitely return. Has a nice, diverse menu.

Chef Shack is a small restaurant attached to Buckeye Lake Brewery. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and return to pick up your food when it's ready. Everything we've tried on the menu has been outstanding. Our favorite is the burger, we think they are the best in this area. Two patties with just the right toppings and a super yummy sauce, just delicious! The homemade potato chips and french onion dip is also a must try. Pricing is reasonable too. And you can't go wrong with the great selection of beers at the brewery. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A nice vibe. Highly recommend.

Buckeye Lake Brewery

Reviewed By karcyr2017

Nice selection of great tasting craft beers. Loved the Octoberfest style beer, as well as others! And now that they have food on site, it's a double hit!! Definitely try the wings...a bit spicy and a hint if sweetness! Almost addictive!!! It's our place to go after shopping at Vance's nearby.
