The bartender was fabulous! The food was good and the atmosphere was great, except for, it was a little hot. A great place to pull up on the boat and eat!

We took a motorcycle ride on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock to have an early supper at Goat Island restaurant.There were four or five parties seated in the restaurant when we arrived, and we sat at the bar.Par usual we ordered margaritas. I'm not a fan of the mixer and asked the bartender cheese lime juice in triple sec, but she did not have lime juice. We agreed to a splash of premix margarita mix.The margaritas came out in tumblers, which is a red flag that the bartender does not know how to make a good margarita. It was decent, but there was too much mix. (I'm not sure if its the preservatives in the mix, but it causes acid reflux every time they use it)We ordered a basket of onion rings, which they said were home age for an appetizer, and I ordered a cheeseburger with French fries, and the BF ordered the hamburger steak. 9/10 on all of the above. Flavorful,.got, fresh, tasted homemade!I was a little disappointed they didn't have jalapenos for my burger and the onion ring appetizer came out with my meal and the bfs meal came out about five minutes later, so a few timing issues need improvement.There is an outdoor venue right next to the restaurant that has karaoke and life music. Super fun place to spend a summer afternoon.They also have plenty of dock space and a well manicured swimming area for the family.Overall, ABSOLUTELY going back!

Goat Island Restaurant is a really fun for every age. The food,lake front view and service is fantastic! The owners are great people and can't beat the prices either. Catfish and Goat Island sandwiches are the best. Go every chance we get.

The staff was very friendly. Asked for my name, and then introduced me to everyone around . The staff was very attentive. The chicken wings were the best i've had in years. They were crispy and came out hot & fast.. Not a typical bar menu. They have Ribeye and seafood on the menu as well.

Five stars because local, fresh food, welcoming staff, dogs welcomed outdoors, just easy to have a good time! The location invites to come back. And if not the location, then at least the friendly staff!
