Fish Tales Lakeside Grille

Fun day out at the lake with friends. stopped by fishing for a late lunch. zach took care of us very much. frozen thin margaritas and fishtacos with black garnels were great.

We had the boat out this week. All the other marinas with the exception of Aqualand have Terrible public boat docks! We ended up going to HideAway marina twice to eat at Fishtales. Great experience both times!!!

This is a fun place with great food. The Grouper Fingers are wonderful. Heather our waitress was attentive and friendly. We drove an hour from Woodstock, GA to have a meal and it was well worth it. One of the best places we have been to since we moved down from New Jersey.

I really wanted to like this place. The description is a hip place on the lake with a deck, live entertainment, good food and good drinks. I’ve traveled all over looking for these type places, and there are some awesome waterfront party palaces designed to guarantee a good time; Fish Tales is not one of those places. It has the potential, but incompetence and mediocrity ruin it. The service We waited over an hour to get in. We met our waiter when we were seated, and then he disappeared. Any time we wanted anything we had to ask another wait staff member to please hunt down the jerk. The Food and beverages I be never worked in a restaurant, so I am completely perplexed as to how on dish of food it has some pieces that are scathing hot, while other pieces are hardly thawed out. Are the dishes supposedly deep fried or grilled, or are they really microwaved or boiled in a bag? Also when you walk up to the restaurant the air is devoid of the smell of anything being grilled! Regarding drinks avoid the draft beer. $9 for a regular size draft that was both warm and flat. The beer was so pukey I quit after 2 (if I was smart I should have left after 1). The Entertainment this place is a cash cow sitting on the shore of Lake Lanier. It should be able to afford some outrageous entertainment. WTF we ended up Barney Fife playing an acoustic guitar, and even though he was plugged in, you couldn’t hear him more than 30 feet from the stage (which may actually have been a good thing seeing as he was playing elevator ballads). In summary this is a dynamite location for what should be one of the most memorable places in Georgia, but it fails in every way.

Excellent food, awesome view and service was spot on. Our waitress Heather F. Was very conscientious of our special diet and made great choices to tell the chef on how to accommodate us. Will definitely go back!
