Hope the stars tell the tale. Not saying that I won’t come back, but not saying I’ll be back soon anytime either.
I’m not sure why every place in this town other than the Mexican restaurants want to serve that boil-in-the bag/parboiled type rice, but if I’m going to pay for a $22 meal on a medium size plate, I want homemade rice.
My pasta was delish. The chicken was cooked just right, and the breading they used gave it a wonderful texture. It wasn’t too dry and was just right. The sauce was very good as well, but I’d have liked to tasted some more spinach in it, as well as the sauce. I felt like I was eating more noodles and trying to slop up the sauce from under every nook and cranny to go with the pasta, and there MAY have been 6 leaves of spinach. Both my sons chose chicken wings. I have to say that those are probably the best in town and were delicious. I’d come back just for those. I did have a side salad as well with my meal which I forgot to take a photo of that. It was a decent portion size for sure.
Atmosphere is very calm and pleasant.

We met some friends here for a birthday dinner. I picked this restaurant because of the reviews I had read. Believe me, the reviews lived up to their expectations. I was very pleased with the food. I had the steak and baked potato with a salad. Our waitress, Renee, was very polite and attentive to our needs. If I am ever in the area again, I will go back to this restaurant again for the steak.

My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and both ordered the 12 oz ribeyes for to go. I got mine medium with onions and mushrooms, a loaded baked potato, and steamed veggies. He got his medium rare with sweet potato and fries.
I wanna start by saying that the steaks were cooked PERFECTLY. HOWEVER, they had ZERO flavor. It tasted like nothing but it was covered in plain butter. We would rather have a steak overcooked with good flavor than a perfect temp and no flavor.
The potatoes were cooked nicely but also bland. They gave my husband butter and sour cream for his sweet potato…
The service was amazing and fast! Staff were super friendly as well. We paid 65$ which isn’t bad but we wish the food wasn’t drowned in plain butter and no seasoning. Salt and pepper go a long way.

We had a great experience here. Tonya was our server and she was awesome! Very attentive service, friendly, and great recommendations. The ribeye, bang bang shrimp, stuffed jalapeños, and gumbo were delicious! Would absolutely be back.

Delicious food, friendly service and a beautiful view of Gantt Lake. I had the hamburger steak with grilled onions, peppers and sides of rice and Mac n Cheese. My husband had the Crawfish etouffee with a side of red beans n rice. The flavors were excellent (a little salty) and you could tell this was “made from scratch.” We even enjoyed a short walk on the pier by behind the restaurant to get a closer view of the water after our meal.
You rarely find good Louisiana Cajun food this far away from New Orleans, so this was a pleasant surprise. Definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive into the country. I recommend this restaurant.

10/10 Hands down the best place to eat in the area.
Came in with a table of 4. We each had something different as well as 3 appetizers. Unfortunately, they were put if the boudin balls but the fried calamari, the bang bang shrimp, and the alligator sausage are all fantastic. I really can’t say a single bad thing about our experience.
We wound uo taking 4 of their homemade desserts home. The Blueberry Cobbler, Lemon Cake, and 2 different cheese cakes. The pieces were huge and they were absolutely delicious.
This place is a must try if you’ve never been.

We had a great experience Saturday afternoon. We each got one of the Specials and they were both delicious. The blackened grouper was wonderful even without the Ettoufee which was good also. Lots of food so we even took some home to enjoy the next day. We thought the homemade blueberry cobbler made with cream cheese and served with ice cream was yummy too! We look forward to returning and trying more dishes. A walk out on the dock is a nice treat to add to the laid back atmosphere. You can even dock your boat if you’re on the water for the day.

Awesome place! Clean, cozy restaurant with atmosphere. Friendly staff and good food. I went on Father’s Day weekend and was expecting slow service but they were on the ball.

I absolutely loved everything about this cozy place, and the food was fantastic! The service is incredible! They’re going to make me drive 3 and a half hours from Birmingham just to repeat this unforgettable experience!

I went on a motorcycle ride to clear my head and had every intention of heading to Destin to the Back Porch. Well, the weather had other ideas as the radar showed what looked like a category 5 hurricane blowing through Crestview and headed southeast. No problem, I’ll just ride northwest. Eventually, I ended up on 29 North, and as I approached Gantt, I thought, “I haven’t been to Buckboard in years. I’ll eat there.” So I did.
The parking lot was full, but I was on my bike and easily found a spot. I went in and was asked if I wanted to sit on the patio. It was a beautiful evening, so I said sure! I was told to head that way.
I picked a table near the back screen overlooking the lake and sat down. Shortly, my server came up and asked what I wanted to drink and I ordered a sweet tea. She left a menu, and I ended up choosing the filet with a baked potato all the way. (All the way consisted of butter, sour cream, bacon, and cheese.)
A little while later, she brought me my food. The steak looked great, but the baked potato had a cheese sauce and bacon poured over the outside of it. It was like they meant to pour it in the open potato, but it snapped shut as they did so. Needless to say, it was EXTREMELY messy getting it opened up so that I could put the butter and sour cream I side. The potato was warm but not hot enough to melt the butter. So I just mashed everything together and mixed it up. Even though it wasn’t hot, it tasted very good, however. My biggest gripe was using 5 napkins to clean my fingers after doctoring it up.
The steak, as I said, looked great. As I cut i to it, it was a bit more done than the medium rare I’d ordered (more a straight medium), but it was still very juicy, amazingly flavorful, and tender.
Overall, I had a good experience and will likely come back sooner than the last time (which was well over 14 years ago)!
