Awesome spot to sit overlooking the water! Friendly, welcoming staff and excellent burger. Lots of TV's to watch sports, with a good atmosphere inside and outside. My favorite was the upper patio outside. Nice breezy day and a calm crowd. I will definitely return next time I'm up this way.

Super friendly staff. The dining room is spacious with plenty of TVs. The front porch is great for sitting out in front of the lake when the weather is nice. The fries are so good!

We were told by the deer park lady that this place had a great burger. We checked it out. Did not disappoint one bit! My wife got a burger, and so did my sister. They both said it was a damn good burger. I got the rays ballz. They were great and would totally get them again. The pickle chips were perfect as well. Che k this place out. I also saw they were dog friendly patio.

Came here after exploring Sandusky and found that a lot of the restaurants there didn't open until later. Had the garlic Parm chicken balls and they were good. Sat outside and had a great time with my family.
