Atmosphere Loved our experience here, laid back, relaxing, you get a beautiful view of the water, they have an outdoor seating area with live music and also a bar inside, they even tilted the umbrella for us when the sun was shining in our eyes, the wait staff is very sweet, we came here for our friends Birthday 🎉 which they give out little red velvet cakes topped with a sparkler, very special! There were actually about 5 other people who had birthdays that night, Food & Drinks The cocktails here are to die for, you have to try the adult Capri sun, it's delicious and fruity, they also offer Blue Moon (which is my bf favorite), we also tried the melted Popsicle, fruity but strong, and also the lakewater, very green and tastes of melon. We had the pulled pork sandwich, which is very good, It has a bit of spice to it though! Beach bum nachos were delicious and loaded with all sorts of toppings, the cotton candy cheese cake comes with a side of cotton candy, it was very creamy and delicious, we also had the funnel cake fries sprinkled with powdered sugar, they were so good we couldn't stop eating them all! We also spent our 4th of July here (technically the date was the 3rd of July) You can sit outside of Pinky's and have a wonderful view of the fireworks, the park on the other side of the area was much too crowded, but near Pinky's they had hardly anyone there so it was much quieter and less tense! Plus we could take cocktails out onto the porch/outside area. It's an amazing experience but make sure to have a reservation or be ready to wait a little bit on weekends because they get busy quickly and have limited tables Another thing I would love to mention is that during the fireworks, the owner(I think he was the owner or the manager) allowed the whole wait staff and kitchen staff to be off the clock so they could enjoy the fireworks as well and I thought that was so awesome of them to do!

It is okay for a quick summer lunch which i'm sure serves a ton of people, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to get here. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well maintained. There is only outdoor (pet friendly) seating & it overlooks the lake. We were greeted with all smiles and have 0 complaints about the service, as it was excellent!! The reason for low stars, is because the food was not fresh. The salsa was most definitely from a can or jar, our pulled pork nachos had very little pork and no joke, more cheese on any dish than I've ever had before. There was queso AND shredded cheese. Normally, I would love this, I LOVE cheese. But wow, it was too much it felt like every bite I was struggling to get anything but cheese...it didn't look anything like the pictures we saw on another review which was a let down. The mini tacos also tasted like cheap frozen fried food, with the same can/jar salsa and some sour cream which was the freshest thing on any of our plates. It just tasted like extremely cheap, slapped together bar food. I wanted to like it, and I do love the location and the service was top notch, like I said, okay for a quick lunch and would be fun for kids, but unfortunately I would not return unless the quality of the food went up.

The atmosphere was good, however there aren't prices on the drinks and then when you pay, they don't even give you a bill to look at. The waitress just comes over and tells you how much it is and you just pay it. As a customer I want to be able to look at the bill before I pay it.

I went for the first time tonight with my friend who has been here multiple times. I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was amazing and the place was beautiful. The service was quick and friendly. I enjoyed everything I got, including the fried pickles, pulled pork Mac N Cheese, and the adult Capri Suns. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend! Well worth the visit.
