The Castaway on Lake Alex

Beautiful outdoor eating, great food, good drinks and friendly service. Their Reubens are delicious.

They have a new drink. It's delicious. Ask for a Kiddy Cocky Red Bull Vodky with a cherry on toppy

Nice spot on the lake to sit outside, enjoy a beer and watch for loons and the boaters. Wish they would get a buyer to spiff up the place, it needs some TLC.

I was very dissatisfied with my food I ordered a Rib Eye sandwich and got thin piece of steak way over salted with rub and could not even eat it . When i told our server she asked if i wanted any thing else and I said no because we were already running late for our concert to Wynonna Judd and would not have time to re order again as our food took a long time to come the first time we ordered. The server never called over the owner no manager on staff nor did she remove or discount my order! I literally left my entire plate behind minus one bite that I had spit out because I could not eat it. This was my first time there and I will never return again! The service sucks!!!! Hope the owner sales this place soon maybe someone better can handle customer service professionally because i messaged him and he never answered me back ever!!!!

We must have caught them on an off-day (beginning of September when regular help back to school?). The place was a mess, one server to the point of tears, totally awkward. The only plus side was the view. Will try again as it has been recommended by several!

We don't regularly visit this restaurant but every time we do , try getting service at the bar. The bartenders are completely oblivious to patrons, we have now been waiting 15 minutes for a beer, they have now got our attention. We will likely spend less time if their practice continues The food is average bar food with a few exceptionsThis is on a beautiful lake, but you can never get a seat on the deck either.It's too bad the mgmt doesn't realize or care that their service is so poor. They should have adequate waitstaff on a holiday week. They never have enough help. Sitting here watching everyone waiting forever to get served at the bar. Somebody should go to Bar school 101 before this place ends up on BAR RESCUE on cable.

Wowwwww! In total shock. Only regret is I don't have pictures to help support what I'm about to say. My husband and I walked onto the patio via the beach area. We sat for 30 minutes while many servers walked by and purposely did not make eye contact (not busy... three tables total were seated besides us). Pretty sure we were being bitched about inside the bar area since we hadn't walked through and had our sanitizer with. Oh yes, that's right... it's Covid season and not one person in a mask, no sanitizer and servers did not wash tables down!!! Seriously?!? This was incredible. Then, when a server went to ask a table near us if they needed anything we finally spoke up. My husband asked if we needed to walk through the bar area to be served and we were told yes. He then said we could be seated in doors. There were 9 NINE tables on the patio EMPTY! AND This was after we saw people getting back onto their boat after they ate dinner... not everybody is required to walk in the through the bar area. Pretty sure we look too "city". Seriously, can't believe I feel such a large degree of prejudice! No wonder the place is for sale. I will drive by in an hour and add pics of his "reserved seating area"... we just bought a cabin on this lake and can't wait to spread the negative word.

delectable food and good service and beautiful views feels homey. Would recommend if in town.

We went there yesterday with a group of 8 people. They were going to have us sit in two separate areas. Then we were "Allowed" to pull two tables together so we could sit together. We ordered drinks and asked for the right away. The waitress said no problem, that she'd get the order in right away and we'd have our drinks in no time. 20-25 min later, we still had no drinks. The bar was quiet, almost no one there. The bartender was washing the bar off etc. just taking care of stuff when you're not busy. I walked up and tried to order a beer from him but he acted like I wasn't even there. A while later, the waitress came over and asked if we were ready to order food. I said yes, but we're still waiting for the drinks that you were going to get to us right away. She said oh, and walked away. No other contact for another 10 minutes. We just left. As we were walking out, they said we're just starting to make you're drinks. We said keep them and left. They let over a $150 walk out the door. We've been going there for over 30 years. Never again!!!

Took 40 minutes to get food and was cold soggy and no good. Servers were unhelpful and barley even came over to table and this was pre pandemic.
