The menu is mostly fried, so if you're looking for something light, your choices will be limited. But if you're up for fried food, they do a great job! I really enjoyed the catfish and onion rings. They make everything fresh, not from frozen packages. I was surprised by how good the fried pickles were—very crispy. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The view of lake Marion is beautiful, especially from the outside seating. And I don't know if they always do it, but they gave us each a tasty, goat-shaped chocolate with the bill.
Sep 21, 2025 · Google ReviewA one of a kind bar/ restaurant with a home town feel, with a breathtaking unforgettable outside bar Lakeview,as you sit back and admire the beautiful creation we live. It's always good to relax with a gold islander sandwich and a tall drink as you watch the boats go by and everyone frolicking in the sunlight. It makes you appreciate the little things and happy that you supported a local business instead of a huge corporation chain.

Oct 31, 2025 · Google ReviewWe 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!
Jul 28, 2024 · Google ReviewThe 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.
