The Boat House Restaurant

Very friendly as well as good food.

When I don't have time for a sit down meal there,I order carryout because their food is wonderful.I personally have never encountered anything other than friendliness and professional service along with great atmosphere.

Great food and view

Great views with friendly service. Prices were decent. Food wasn’t bad but didn’t stand out either. Kid-friendliness: Our grandson was a little wound up from being in the truck a lot but everyone was nice! Lots of hunters

Like 3 waitresses looked at us and not one of them came to seat us and they weren’t even busy

Showed up with 9 people to eat and they were not busy in the least bit. Sat down and got 4 plates out of 9 people. Two were cold prime ribs and we waited over an hour and never got a medium rare hamburger steak after we had already received two well done hamburger steaks…. The OWNER kept sending his young waitress over with excuses as to why the food was taking so long and to deal with the situation instead of handling it himself. After several times he finally came over and stated we had a terrible attitude instead of making it right. He never once apologized or tried to make the situation right. We have been coming to reelfoot on duck hunts for many many years and the boathouse has been a normal spot for us but the new ownership is trash. I will NEVER recommend the boat house again or visit as long as it is under its current ownership. I have never had this bad of an experience at ANY restaurant in my life.

We have eaten at this restaurant before and it was very good. Not sure what happened but yesterday it was horrible food and service. To start with I ordered country fried steak and was told they had been out of that for a couple days. Next ordered fish with baked potato. Only to be told they don’t really have baked potatoes. I pointed out the menu says they do. I was told they have twice baked potatoes. That’s not true either. What they have are frozen potatoes with a little cheese on them. Finally we just ordered ton give them a chance because they were busy. After an hour they started bringing out our food. One plate at a time with about 15 minutes between each plate. My daughter ordered a medium rare steak and was brought a well done steak. They did take it back and said they would get her another one. My husband ordered the French dip sandwich. After an hour and 1/2 of being told it would be done soon he decided he didn’t want it because everyone else was through with their food. Of course my daughter didn’t have her steak yet either. When we asked if they could just remove those from the bill since we had not received them. The server said no but we could talk to manager. Her solution was to take the food to go because it would be done soon. After about 15 minutes she decided to take the two dinners off because they just didn’t make the French dip. When the new bill was presented I noticed there was a 3% charge for credit card usage. I had never said we were paying with a credit card. I don’t mind paying the service charge but I’m not paying it if I don’t use a credit card. The only good thing I can say about this restaurant is my granddaughter said the club sandwich she ordered was good. This was the worst dining experience we have ever had on the lake. Beside the terrible food and service the manager was not concerned about the fact that it took 2 hours and we still did not have all our food. We knew there would be a wait due to it being Sunday afternoon, but nothing like this. Save your money and your time and go somewhere else. The only good thing about this restaurant is the views.
