I used to work here before it became the waters edge dock and grill, and I came back for the view, but the food and service is better than ever. Our server was an angel, she made sure to keep us fed, these photos are from 3 separate visits. I love trying something new every time, and the one thing I love most that I inhale before I get my phone out is their puoutine fries. Worth the drive from Concord.

Great place on High Rock Lake with a beautiful view of the lake. When you first enter the restaurant the only downside is you have to show your drivers license to become a member, but then they take your phone number and take you to your table. For a starter I would recommend the pretzels with beer cheese. This place serves brunch Saturday and Sunday from 10 am until 2 pm with a bloody mary bar. If you are looking in the lines of burgers I would recommend the Edge burger. In addition to if you are looking for an amazing ribeye get the 16 Oz ribeye here, it is cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. For dessert make sure to save room for the cherry dumpcake, which is basically homemade cherry cobbler. I will be back here to this establishment to try more of the menu items.

Your basic bar and grill with a gorgeous view of the lake. Drinks were made well and delicious, food was good (the fries are phenomenal). Waitress was prompt and attentive despite being understaffed and overloaded with customers. The music was too loud for a space with no soft surfaces to dampen it so it made it hard to talk to and hear the people at your table. Ample parking in several parking lots. We will definitely be back!

What a great surprise! Love the ambiance, the food and prices are great too. The staff was friendly and attentive. The manager Lauren is super nice and she makes you feel like family. Pro tip: the sandwiches are a great value. Get the fries... you won't be disappointed!

This place is well worth the drive. Like a hidden gem, the food, beverages, service, and view are all delightful. There were 5 of us ranging in age and taste. We ordered drinks from the bar and sodas, soft pretzels and beer cheese, fried pickles. For meals, we had Nashville hot pork tacos, a burger with a fried egg, a poutine burger, grilled cheese, and a chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious! Our server had the whole deck alone and it was very busy for a Sunday afternoon, but she was still very attentive and gracious! The food was quick, the deck looks over the lake, very peaceful.

I have eaten here twice in 3 days the food is so good. I had their cuban and then went back and got their monte cristo and fried chicken with hash browns. It is affordable and delicious. The view is awesome as well.

What a great spot! Hostesses were very friendly, our server Peyton was excellent, had suggestions for us and was very accommodating. Our The Goat pizza was great as we're the variety of beers we had. The venue itself is very big, has lots of outdoor and indoor seating as well as porches and a dock. Plenty of parking, apparently Saturday is their big night, Thursday was pretty low key except the bingo. Good prices for food and drink. We happened to come on a Thursday while they were doing music bingo, tons of fun!
