What a great dinner we had. Atmosphere is perfect, Dave is back with some old favorites! So exciting especially for boating season. We love being able to boat over and have some great margaritas and chips and salsa!
Staff was on point thank you for being open and CHEERS on an excellent 2026! The Kings!

Super friendly restaurant with great food! Our server Mario C. from Romania was FABULOUS! I had chicken enchiladas with rice and beans, phenomenal. My husband had ground beef tacos, again phenomenal! Hubby had spotted cow on tap and I had a apple cider float, very yummy. We loved it sooo much going back again tonight to try something else.

Glad to see a former bar tender at JJ’s take over this place. We had some Mexican food and a flounder sandwich which was fantastic! Vicki was very kind and attentive. Margaritas were also very good.

If you’re looking for a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant, congratulations, you’ve found it. I had the pleasure of being completely ignored for a solid 20 minutes before anyone even looked in my direction. The waitresses must’ve been auditioning for the role of “rudest people alive,” because wow, they nailed it.
When the food finally arrived (about the same time I started questioning my life choices), it was cold, soggy, and had the texture of a wet paper bag, which, honestly, might’ve had more flavor. Oh, and the drink, yeah, let’s just say I’ve had better-tasting liquid straight from a garden hose on a hot summer day.
It’s painfully obvious that no one working here has the slightest interest in providing good service, or any service, really. The level of effort from the staff makes “bare minimum” look ambitious.
All that for $70, definitely not worth the experience. I’d rather pay full price to watch paint dry while being insulted by a circus clown, but I digress.

I was so excited to try Cleat, but the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in.
When we arrived, we stood at the hostess station for a bit before anyone acknowledged us. The hostess finally came, but she seated my party and another party at the exact same time. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I know the hostess makes the first impression—and seating two parties at once felt awkward and impersonal. There was no greeting, no “Hi, how are you?” or even a simple “Welcome.” Instead, the hostess stopped to talk to people at other tables while seating both groups. Not a great start.
Once we were seated, we sat for 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. No waters were brought to the table, no “I’ll be with you shortly,” absolutely nothing. Finally, our server came over—but didn’t even introduce herself or say her name. She didn’t seem welcoming or friendly at all and actually seemed annoyed that we were even there. The first words out of her mouth were simply, “What would you like.”
After ordering, it took another 10 minutes just for our drinks to arrive. The food that came out was also a major letdown—cold, poorly presented, and low quality. It honestly felt like whoever was in the kitchen was just over their day and did a lazy job with both the presentation and preparation.
We didn’t even find out our server’s name until the bill came—it was Vicki. During most of our visit, she was standing at the bar, not checking on tables or interacting with guests.
The restaurant wasn’t even busy, which made the lack of attention and care even more frustrating. As a server myself, I know that your attitude and hospitality are everything. Even if the food experience isn’t great, genuine service and a warm, personable attitude can still make guests want to come back and give a place another chance. Unfortunately, none of that happened here.
Here’s the thing — service matters. A great server can make guests overlook a rough kitchen night. A friendly hostess can set the tone for a comeback visit. But when no one cares, it shows.
Overall: The entire experience—from the unwelcoming hostess to the lack of service and disappointing food—was terrible. It felt like no one cared. I will not be coming back.

Nice casual place. Good food. Great bartender. Not fancy. Don’t let the Karen complainers deter you. Try it.

Spicy skinny margarita is the best I’ve had!! Food was amazing (Cheese curds, Juicy Lucy burger, chicken burrito) and service was friendly and fast. Loved the restaurant decor too. We will definitely return!

Great margaritas! Food was good but underwhelming. We had fish tacos and ground beef tacos. The latter tasted like what we make at home, so it would probably be perfect for kids. We hoped for a bit more pizzaz. We will be back to try other things because we love the spot and really hope the owners & restaurant succeeds! It is loud and energetic during peak time. The decorations are great!
