Love this place! Everyone there is always so lovely and friendly. The vibes are fun and the new patio is great. I tired a new to me dish, the buffalo chicken cheesy potatoes. This was good but not my favorite – I felt it was missing something but what idk. Still rating 5 stars cuz it was very delicious (not everything can be a favorite) It did remind me of a family dish I used to have growing up. Anyway, I recommend!

EDIT: I visited for the hundredth time this past week and experienced an uncomfortable situation. Earlier this year our waitress invited my mother and I to walk across the street and enjoy their private lake access and we absolutely did and continue to do so! The opportunity has enticed me to order sometimes three or more times a week and I put my feet in the water. Ever since the invite we meet and order fries/tots, enjoy the water maybe in a lawn chair and then eat lunch/dinner afterwards in the patio. This Thursday we parked down the street and took our chairs to the water spot and getting ready to pickup some fries when someone who didn’t introduce themselves (older gentleman wearing an orange shirt) aggressively asked us to not come back. He was very upset when he approached us. He said parking has been an issue (we mentioned we did not park in the lot), but it didn’t matter we were told it’s for boat business only. I just want to confirm if the rules have changed since our waitress later that day said it was still okay as far as they knew. The lake access has also given us the opportunity especially when the restaurant is packed to still order and not eat somewhere else. You’re the best spot in the area, but that was very uncomfortable!
Clean, beautiful location overlooking Walled Lake – high & low seating options with a spacious outdoor patio! The staff here welcomes you very warmly like you’re a regular! I always visit for their soup of the day & impossible burgers and am never disappointed! See you again soon.

Just nothing bad can be said about this place. Huge portion sizes, tvs everywhere, great tasting food, and fantastic service. Fun little spot right by the lake. Highly recommend.

Great location especially because their patio overlooks the lake. But if it’s outdoor seating that you want, be prepared to wait in line, even if it’s not that busy. Staff will not acknowledge you until they are ready to seat you. There were a couple tables available, just needing to be cleaned off, but we had to wait 15 minutes anyway despite my elderly grandmother having weak knees. Once you’re seated the service is pretty good and the food is decent. Drinks are good. But we almost left because we felt the customer service was really lacking upon arrival.

The best location, specially if you sit outside with the great Walled Lake view. The drinks are true, not watered down. The foods are delicious and enough. The service is great. The prices are s just right. So why not try it yourself?

Driftwood is a great summer spot to sit off the water, eat and have drinks. The service is always great, the food is delicious, and they have an awesome drink menu. We had a Chicken Crunch salad, Fly Southwest salad with Shrimp, and a Kona Big Wave.

What an awesome place to grab a bite to eat! Local joints are always an interest to check out so Im happy a friend invited me and another friend to join her for lunch. The bathroom is the neatest set up and the server, we had Allison, were so kind and friendly.

This place is one of my favorite as it has lake front view which makes me visit this place for sure. Along with the view their food and services will win your heart for sure.
I tried few of their dishes like Gouda bites, tots , Chicken Tacos which I loved.
I would highly recommend this place.
And special thanks to the servers who were extremely friendly, nice and fast serving.

I’ve driven by a few times and the parking lot is always packed, so thought I’d give them a try for lunch. They have a pretty standard bar fare with a focus on burgers, sandwiches, and salads, along with an evening-only section of the menu with more expensive dinners options. Several large TVs would make this a good spot for sporting events. The outdoor patio offers dining with a lake view.
Service was friendly and the food arrived quicker than expected, though most items seemed to be priced a bit on the high side for the ingredients that they were using, especially when considering that fries aren’t included with most entrees.
I ordered the “jumbo” wings; the size was more on the lower side of average than jumbo, but the meat was mostly tender, with a few pieces being slightly tough to chew, and the sauce was flavorful. The fries have a subtle yet delicious seasoning to them, although I would’ve preferred mine cooked a little crispier.

First time here. I got the BLT for lunch and the bread was hard as a rock. The roof of my mouth is still recovering from eating it days later, probably not the best choice on the menu. Their fish and chips was pretty good from the bite that I had from my mom’s plate. I don’t recommend getting the calamari appetizer to share with more than 2 people since it is a small portion for what it costs. Our table of 4 for lunch was about $90. Our server was very friendly. Typical bar atmosphere, which is pretty noisy since the place is not that big inside.
