★★★★★ 5.0 riley windham · Jul 2024

This place was awesome! Normally when I go to a seafood restaurant I order seafood, however the 14oz ribeye sounded really good so I tried it and added shrimp. Let me tell you that was an amazing decision because that was one of the best steaks I have had. This place is definitely worth the drive! Great food, great people and great service!

★★★★★ 5.0 David Clymer · Jun 2024

Old school Southern Country local family owned restaurant. Great for families and hungry folks looking for great food at a great price. Not for your special occasion.

★★★★★ 5.0 Morgan Ham · Jun 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here! That southern feel as soon as you walk through the door is so natural it's effortless, yet as soon as the food hits the table(impressively quick btw) you're transported straight to the coast! Food and service were both incredible and I will definitely be returning with a new crowd soon!

I took a vacation at the lakes around Sparta and stopped here. The food was good, the service quick, and the people friendly. Plus you can't beat complimentary grits and hush puppies.

★★★★★ 5.0 Casey Parham · Jul 2025

We’ve been coming to the Lake Oconee/Sinclair area my whole life (32 yrs.) and just found this place. Everything was incredible: food, service, friendly interaction with staff, etc. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. If you’re in Sparta, Eatonton, Milledgeville, or any surrounding towns/counties you’ve got to give it a try. It’s family owned/operated and you can tell by the atmosphere. Just a few things we ate that I would recommend: Fried shrimp, fried corn(on the cob), deviled crab, fried okra, grilled scallops, and every meal comes with complimentary hush puppies and grits. When you find a place that’s open two nights a week, you know the food coming outta that kitchen is going to be worth your time and money!
