Boat House of Marietta (Boathouse BBQ)

Fantastic food—hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had. We shared the Pick 4 platter and had more than enough food. The ribs were my favorite; they had an amazing smoky flavor. The sweet potato fries were incredible as well. Not to mention, it’s right on the river. Even though it was raining and cold when we went, we still stepped outside and watched a few boats pass by. Great view, great service, and awesome food.

A nice BBQ spot along the river in downtown Marietta. The beast burger, a special, made of wagyu, venison, bison and wild boar is one the best tasting burgers I have ever consumed. The service was lacking but we were a large party of 17. The place is worth a stop if you are passing through or staying in the area. The views along the river add a nice ambiance to the meal.

Fantastic Food, service and view. Absolutely love the atmosphere. Good music 🎶 too! Our server was great as well, he was pretty cool. Love the food.

We stopped on our way through town. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area overlooking the water with boat docks so you can approach by water. Unfortunately, it took at least 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered. We had to ask multiple times how our order was coming along. The restaurant was not that busy and our order was very simple. Seemed like a kitchen issue. I saw one of the cooks in the restroom and he seemed like he may have been drinking. Not sure. We left frustrated by the experience which is a shame because it's such a cool spot.

The locals recommended Boat House to our group, so we came in to give it a try. I ordered the Lobster Crab Dip and the Boathouse BBQ Ribs with French fries. The Lobster Crab Dip was decent, but I didn't love the ribs. The sauce is pretty acidic, though the ribs are tender and fall right off the bone. The fries were pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the BBQ sauces available. My buddy enjoyed the onion rings and ribs, but didn't like the brisket or beans. The service was good. We were told it's the slow season, and our waitress let us know she was the only one working the entire restaurant. But she checked on us regularly and was nice. The restaurant/bar has the main dining and bar section at the entrance, then an add-on section in the back with views of the river. I won't choose to come h
