Really good food. Keep in mind the island for the most part gets their food all from Sysco or Gordon. It’s the chiefs that make the difference. Try the fish and chips. You’ll thank me.
- Justin LockeJuly 16, 2016Great outdoor seating and service. Pretzel Sticks were amazing as a quick app while getting a few drinks. Far enough away for easy seating and at bottom of hill from Grand Hotel
SJune 2, 2013Love to sit outside, great place to eat and people watch! Location, location. Amazing menu, seriously pick anything and you will be satisfied!
Prasenjit SinghJune 3, 2013Love the food and drinks... try all the house special drinks! they are awesome! BBQ Chicken wings boneless!! wow! :D- Sally ZarafonetisMay 8, 2010The Whitefish is excellent. Others liked the burgers and fish and chips. I had a great salad a second visit. Prices are affordable - Location is close to The Grand Hotel.
Great bartenders. Treat them with respect, have a little understanding, and they'll take great care of you.
The waitstaff is excellent....Jesse, Shannon and Lucas are wonderful!!
Have Jesse, Chad or Heavy-T make you one of their favorite beverages. You will not be disappointed!
Haden BlauAugust 14, 2019Outdoor seating is nice, but drinks are overpriced—even by island standards.
- Randy PainterSeptember 28, 2017Drinks are way over priced. Ales that were six bucks on the main drag were eight bucks at the gatehouse.

"Try the old fashioned here instead of the hotel. They know what they're doing. The fries were excellent, as is the view (especially if you like golf)."
