The Olde Inn

Back in the spring we decided to try The Olde Inn down at Lake Blackshear. It's so close to home and we were really craving fish. There was a long wait, but we stuck it out. Our service that night was terrible, but the food was good. So good, that a few weeks later, we decided to try again. This time we made reservations. Our service was much better this time.

The rest of the spring/summer we ate there at least once a week. Sometimes twice.

We tried Grouper Fingers fried and broiled, Char-Broiled Salmon (my favorite), fried cheese sticks, fried green tomatoes, fried squash, grilled cheese, Tuna Steak, twice baked potato, and the grilled cheese. All excellent.

I also tried the hamburger and I did not like it at all. It tasted like a frozen burger.

The food is a little on the pricier side, but it is a better bargain than other similar restaurants in the area and you get a lot more food for the price.

The Cove at Lake Blackshear

We decided to give The Cove a try the other night. They weren't busy. It took 20 minutes for anyone to take our drink order, even though we were seated right beside the bar. The waitress who finally did take our order was not friendly or personable at all. Never even smiled. It took another 40 minutes for all of our food to come out. The kids pizza came way ahead of ours. We took our food to go because by then, the toddler had lost all interest in being distracted and just wanted to destroy the restaurant. Maybe when you are able to eat your pizza hot, it is delicious. By the time we got home, our pizza was cold and tasted awful! We spent $45 on crappy pizza and crappy service. We will not be going there again. I was also disappointed in the menu selection. They didn't offer a lot of choices of pizza for a pizza restaurant.
