The food was average. But the atmosphere is relaxed with good lake views. We were there in the off season, plan on trying again during the sumer of 2012.

We took the advice of our hotel staff during a visit to the lake in August 2009 and went to Backwater Jacks for dinner. The view of the lake is nice, and the band was great. That's where my list of "pros" ends. Now for the cons: the food was bland and over-priced, and the restroom and dining room were...
