“ Great food and Fun, this place has a great atmosphere that anyone will enjoy . The music is a vibe ”
“ Papa Doc's never misses! The vibes, the service, the food - all on point. Frozen drinks for a hot day, lake views, and delicious bites! ”
“ We had awesome dinner here Sat. night. We came about 5:30 and did have to weight about 45 minutes for table of 3 on the deck but I would expect that. I liked all the drink choices and seafood. We all shared the "big papa" and it was enough for 4. The seafood was cooked great and tasted great. It was a little busy and noisy on the deck but nothing I wouldn't expect on a Saturday night. I like the deck overlooking water. Our server was great and very attentive. Very happy my nephew suggested here, we will definitely be back. ”
“ Fish & Shrimp Dinner was great, shrimp was a bit overcooked but edible - white fish was absolutely delicious! I selected the crispy fries which were perfect. The server was wonderful and very attentive for a busy, beautiful March birthday! Sorry, I forgot to take photos of the food. . . ”
“ Great spot to eat right on the lake. Drive or boat over...wait can be long but worth it. Great views of the lake from inside or ask for a table outside. Ambiance is casual and laid back. Staff is always cheerful and happy to help. Food is very good, theres something for everyone. Recommend the peel and eat shrimp! ”
“ I really enjoyed this restaurant! It's casual dining with a beautiful view of the lake . Me and my sister dined here for lunch. We ate on the spacious patio that offered beautiful views of the lake . The mimosas were wonderful and I enjoyed the shrimp, and seafood boil ”
“ I had never been here in my 16 years in clt. It's cute. It's fall, so the docs were empty, but I could see a time to be had could easily happen. I didn't get a ton of seafood. I'm not a fan of the food. I tried the daily soup, Chicken Tortilla. It lacked flavor but had a ton of protein. Then, the shrimp app. It had way too much vinegar in the sauce for my taste. Maybe it's what I ordered. ”
“ Good food. Good drinks. Good service. Great energy. Lots of people! Plenty of parking spaces. Good food portions. A good time was had by us all! ”
“ The weather was just PERFECT...so we decided to head to this ole place for its dockside dining scene. We hit the place around 5:15 pm, yet we had to get on the waitlist...a good 45 minutes wait (though they quoted us 1 hour to 90 minutes!). I guess it was to be expected...given the day's beautiful weather. Luckily, we noticed many seating areas...so we grabbed some drinks (Beer, and Watermelon Margarita), and just chilled out in the sun 'til our table was ready. I probably have been here before (decades before during my party days)...but could barely remember. As expected, it was a more casual version of North Shore Club. I definitely preferred the North Shore Club (both ambiance and food), but this place did have its own thing going on. The place was huge...much bigger than anticipated; and it did provide this festive, party vibe. Where was the music though?? No overhead music...or if there was one, I can't even recall hearing it. Once seated, we ordered Smack Down Shrimp right away...and for entrees, my husband got the Fish & Chips, and I got the Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, with Fries. The menu was fairly extensive...with mostly Southern-American items. Well, not sure whose fault...but we didn't get our appetizer, Smack Down Shrimp, until AFTER our entrees were delivered...and only after we asked about it. In any case, I liked this appetizer more than anything else...tasted just like Bang Bang Shrimp. My husband really liked his Fish & Chips...and I halfway liked the Chicken Caesar Wrap...only because it was a tad salty, and thought the chicken was a tad too dry. On the positive side, this wrap include bacon bits! Fries were good, but a tad too saturated. Still, the foods were actually better than what I had anticipated. The Watermelon Margarita was a tad sweeter than necessary...and I don't say that much. I almost felt a tad sick at one point? Still, it gave me a good buzz...so well worth it. Overall, we both really enjoyed hanging out here. The weather was really perfect for it...and again, the place definitely had its festive vibe (minus the music!). Honestly, I'd rate this place about 3.5 stars...but since I have to round up or down, I'll drop 4. Am definitely up for returning on another beautiful, sunny day! ”
