My first time here and the food was amazing! The crab cakes, Alfredo, street corn dip, and i had a bite of someone’s rum glazed chicken…. all delicious!! And such a cool atmosphere on the lake.

I recently had the pleasure of having dinner here and it was a great experience.. met the owner at the door and she was very friendly and hospitable, great lady.. she explained the menu and recommended certain dishes that were well above even what she told us. We had the ribeye steak with baked potato and rice pilaf, the pork chops with Broccolini and green beans.. but the crawfish chowder is something you have to get and those pork chops were the best I’ve ever had.. tender melt in your mouth with great flavor.. everything was excellent and I can’t wait to be back in that area to visit them again. Loved everything!!

Great service on a Saturday afternoon. We shared a heap of cheese balls. Wife ordered crab legs, chicken nuggets for granddaughter, others ordered grilled shrimp, grill shrimp tacos, and bang bang shrimp. Hope you stop and enjoy the food and atmosphere. View very nice of Smith Lake.

This is the best food I’ve ever had. I know that’s cliche, but I am 6’1 220 lbs and would consider myself a veteran in the food and beverage industry. The grilled redfish was a delicacy out of the water that was sent by Poseidon himself. The sweet potato waffle fries are in contention for side of the decade. An absolute masterpiece. The ice cold spicy Mr. Pibb was the cherry on top to wash down the ambrosian meal. 10/10

I had the ribeye which was flavor packed with great char and perfectly medium rare in the middle as ordered. The server kept my drink full and made sure I had everything I needed. Great lake spot, a bit out of the way, but the food, views, and people make it worth it.

Typically, I don’t take time to write reviews. But since our decision to eat at Drifters was based on the reviews we found on Google, I want to share our experience. We thought we were off to a good start because the bang bang shrimp that we ordered as an appetizer was really good. But then everything started going downhill from there. As our food was being served, the server brought it to our attention that the sweet potatoes that we each had ordered were small. She voluntarily offered that they could replace them but it would be a few minutes until they prepared more. With the entrees sitting in front of us, we didn’t want to get a potato after we ate the rest of our meal. My husband requested for them to bring him a regular baked potato instead while I decided to make do with what I had. The server went to get his potato and brought it out promptly. The problem is that she didn’t ask what he wanted on it and brought it out with sour cream, which my husband does not eat. He didn’t want to wait for yet a third potato, therefore he did without and gave the potato to me since my sweet potato was so incredibly small (I was able to get one bite from it, literally ). The regular baked potato was edible but tasted like it has sat for a few hours. Next issue: the main entrees. My husband ordered ribeye. Based on reviews we read, he thought he would get a delicious steak. What he got was so charred on the outside that he could barely eat it. I ordered the redfish. I did not like the sauce that comes with it but luckily ordered it to the side. The blackened redfish was good once I put a little lemon juice on it. As we were paying, we told the server our issues with the meal. She apologized and offered to give us another steak to take with us. We declined because first we are traveling and don’t have a way to travel with perishable food and second we have no reason to believe another one would have been any better. On a side note, I would like to add that there were no issues with the service we received

The food was amazing the atmosphere was cozy but open. Still you could sit outside by the water if you wanted. Highly recommend will definitely be going again.

1st time eating here, my wife had the steak, how can you tell steak is good? When you don’t need to use steak sauce, and no need for it on the steak.
I had catfish and it was just as good as the steak.
The service was top notch.
We will most definitely be back.

We absolutely loved the food and service. My husband and I have 6 year old twins who are into Bluey. So we decided to venture out on a Thursday night, kids night at the restaurant, for the boys to enjoy the atmosphere. Plus, they eat free on Kids night and they love the food. Usually, eating out with them can be a challenge but not at this restaurant. They had the very best time and we enjoyed our dinners so much!! I would encourage anyone who has NOT been here to go! It really is worth the time and money!
