Reviews Portside Bar And Grill

We arrived at 12:15 for lunch. All of the tables in the covered area were taken. The only available table was in the sun. We saw an umbrella and asked a staff person if we could put it up for shade. He said yes and started to help us put it up. A manager walked up to us and abruptly told us that we could not put up the umbrella. I told him that we were given permission. He said it was too windy, and then he turned away from us without an apology or offering any other option. Then came the server. She asked for our drink order. I ordered ice tea and she said unapologetically "we don't have any tea". I asked if they had coke zero and she said "diet coke". I ordered water and she glared at me. The menu selection is extremely limited, and it was difficult to find items we could all eat. Two adults and 2 children got the nachos, and they were terrible. The chips were the size of a thumb, like the crumbs at the bottom of a bag. The chicken on the nachos was not edible. The Philly cheesesteak was "not good". The server never came to ask us how the food was. I am done with the bad food and worse service.

Eat out over the water. Grilled buffalo wings, BBQ sandwiches were good, the hotdogs taste was not the best. Feed the big carp below. Drink some cold Corona and watch the boats go by.

Located on Smith Mountain Lake with amazing views. The employees are friendly and the atmosphere fun. Always clean and a nice selection of food. Check their FB page for live music and special events.

Beautiful view, amazing service, and good food!
