Food was good and the waitress was able to explain the menu and restaurant was clean and enjoyed our meal. Will definitely go back this summer!
Wish they weren’t out of turkey as my wife loves to try turkey at bbq restaurants. The smoked sausage was great along with the sweet potato fries and Cole slaw. Also the smoked wings and Mac and cheese tasted pretty good also.

Great venue located right on the water. I ordered the brisket dinner. The food was pretty good. A little on the pricey side but you are paying for location. Nice patio sitting right next to the water. Parking can be a little tough if they are busy. The atmosphere is wonderful. Nice selection of beer and bourbon.

Lovely lunch overlooking the lake. Friendly staff and tasty food. Rustic decor with an up market ambiance. There is ample outdoor seating on the deck as well as bar seating and tables along the open plan wall. Fun selection of craft beers and cocktails. Very enjoyable!

1st visit in summer: Nice place to unwind with beachfront feel.
Walk down into restaurant.
Waiter (fresh from Florida) was friendly and sociable and offered great service while working alone.
2nd visit: I ordered a gibbet sandwich. Don’t do this.. It was cold in the middle. ok this can happen….
I had it reheated and bit onto it; just to get a piece of broken bone stuck in my tooth…oh; this bone is boneless??? Until it’s not.
I no longer had the confidence or the appetite to eat any further. I politely boxed leftovers and left. The waitress was sweet. She made this visit bareable.

Lunch, Sunday – on the deck… I’ve been through many iterations of this location – happy to see this place. That said – had brisket, turkey, and sausage, plus wings… Brisket, turkey, and sausage were all on the dry side – still flavorful (sausage best of the three) – but dry. Green beans were great, Cole slaw good – but the star of the show, aside from the dock seat – were the wings… had to go to the bar for Tabasco (if you serve wings – figure out a way to have this, otherwise prepare for disdain)… NO sauce, just wings and ranch/tabasco/black pepper combo – excellent. I would return for the wings alone. One note – smokers were not going – so our meats are likely yesterdays, warmed up. Suggesting to those there – try sous vide for warming up – it will NOT dry out the meat. Hope to return and try during evening one night.
Also noted – there is NO entrance that doesn’t require multiple steps for those with mobility issues…

My brother and I stopped by here for the first time. It was very crowded, so we sat at the bar. We ordered a couple craft beers and a BBQ meat platter. It had sausage, pulled pork, pork ribs, beef brisket, roast turkey and half a roast chicken. Everything was great. Then when we asked for a check, the bartender said it was all “on the house.” There was some special event or something happening. Go figure. We’ll definitely be back.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Smoke On The Water! Nestled right on the lake, this gem offers stunning views that perfectly complement their mouthwatering food.
The smoked turkey is out of this world—the best I’ve ever tasted. Their mac and cheese? Creamy and dreamy doesn’t even begin to cover it. And don’t get me started on the pulled pork—juicy, tender, and absolutely divine. The drinks are always ice-cold, and the bartenders are a lively, attentive bunch who clearly love what they do.
My meal was so amazing, I couldn’t even snap a pic before devouring it. So here’s a shot of my clean plate to #MakeMomProud! Whether you’re a foodie or just in need of a great night out, Smoke On The Water is a must-visit!

My husband and I went there last night and we loved it. The food was so good. We got the platter for two. We has pulled pork and smoked turkey, 2 pieces of cornbread, baked beans and coleslaw. It was 25 dollars and filled us up. Great price. We will be back
