We recently rented kayaks here. The guys running the shop could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The kayaks were in top condition. We had a fantastic day on the lake and cannot wait to return to this Marina for more fun. They also have a really nice dock with tables and in place inside where you can get snacks. An extra plus, they have string lights for the evening.

Not open during the offseason, won't answer the phone. Went to site 5 times and called 7. Was only able to establish communicate after emailing. The guy I spoke with made it abundantly clear I was the issue and insisted no one has ever had trouble getting a hold of them. Claimed they have 3 people answering the phone during the offseason. Would not recommend as their slips are falling apart, and they take no responsibility for lack of communication.

Best Gas Dock on Lake Norman, since we purchased our new boat we have went here to receive the best service and we also enjoy the Lake Effects Surf Shop when stopping for gas.

Standard greasy spoon. If you can't get breakfast, then dont waste your time. Server had a great attitude, but had a tough time getting our table what we needed.

My grandpa use to bring me here every Saturday morning for breakfast. I'm a southern girl and there was no place better to go get a cathead sized biscuit and homemade sausage gravy. But they soldout got new owners changed all the staff that made the place what it was and nothing is the same. I guess this just upsets me on a memoriable point of view because l'LL be 32 this year and my grandpa passed away suddenly when i was 15. We were very close and this was my way of keeping him alive in my heart. I've ate there one time since under new ownership and I want go back.
