Absolutely outstanding experience at Boathouse Restaurant! The views of Reelfoot Lake are beautiful, and the restaurant itself is very clean with plenty of comfortable seating. The atmosphere alone makes it worth the stop.
The food was phenomenal. I ordered the catfish plate and coconut pie, and both were delicious, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s clear the new owners have done an amazing job managing not only the restaurant, but also the Southshore Resort next door. Everything felt well-run and thoughtfully done.
I was extremely impressed and can’t recommend Boathouse Restaurant enough. Whether you’re visiting Reelfoot Lake or local to the area, this place is a must-try! I can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu!

Great catfish! Restaurant was not busy on a Friday at lunch. $46 for 2 catfish plates and tea. Great view of the lake! Service has improved.

We arrive late and we’re still seated. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The view of Reelfoot Lake is stunning. The fish Tacos were delicious. If you are a visitor to the area, this is a must stop.

This establishment has changed hands a few times. The current owners have remodeled so that all their guests can see the sensational views of Realfoot Lake!
Our visit hosted exceptional great food.
My fish fillet plate was hot, cooked perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection! Others at our table enjoyed a delicious Steak and grilled chicken breast.
The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This is a must stop on your vacation trip!
In my opinion, they are as good as the other more established restaurants that have been on the lake because of the view and service we received.
Stay consistent and we will keep coming back!!

We enjoy eating at the Boat House in Samburg. The atmosphere is friendly. The service is good and the views of the lake are amazing. My meal was the fried chicken salad and my husband ate the Philly Cheese hoagie. Both were delicious! The fries are seasoned & came out hot! We ate for under $30!!!! Can’t beat that!

Potato soup and catfish bites were fabulous, as was our entire experience! My Dad lives near, it’s his new goto for dinner! Thank you for taking time and sharing with us in early November! We couldn’t wait to come back and it was worth the wait!

Had a great experience fast friendly service. Had the catfish fillet plate with onion rings, hush puppies and the rest of the fixings. Met the owners couldn’t have asked for a more polite and friendly attitude.

First day at Eagles Nest Resort, just down the road from The Boat House, also first time at ReelFoot Lake EVER!! Didn’t know their hours, came in just at Sunset, waitress was pleasant and friendly and helpful!! We ordered chicken fried steak and it was Awesome!! (We were catching fish, so we didn’t want fish) Not very many people, Not busy. Got a beautiful photo of the sunset, First night there from their Beautifully Clean Huge Windows!! Everything was wonderful! *(The cashier could have been a bit more friendly, and could have spoken to us in a friendlier tone.)* But other than that, would recommend 10/10. Found out why he might have been unfriendly… they stayed late to accommodate the few guests that were still there, including us!! Still would recommend 100/100 !! Thanks for feeding us delicious fresh food on our first night, Sorry didn’t know the hours

3 in our group got Club sandwiches, they came to the table as a whole sandwich. Menu states cut in quarters, like it suppose to be. The bread was hardly toasted but so tough it scraped your mouth up. 1 of us got fettuccine with chicken, a portion for a child with hardly any sauce at a price of $19. This is not high class food. We could have made any of this at home and would have been better. Kinda petty about you getting water, charge of 1 cent for a glass of water. Our waiter had long hair not pulled back, just hanging, I don’t think the health inspector would approve.We come and stay here at Reelfoot a couple times a year. But we will never eat here again.
