Shady Shack Grill & Flip Flops Bar

Fun atmosphere, food and drinks were good. Staff were pretty cool and fun to be around. Visiting from Oklahoma so it's nice to find cool spots.

Great fun vibe, very good food.We had steamed shrimp, a great quesadilla, and wings.We enjoyed the vibe, service was very attentive, and drinks.A fun spot we will return.

Went there three times within one week. First time, everything was perfect.Second time, I ordered the same Mahi Mahi tacos and salad- perfect. He ordered pizza- it came about 10 minutes after I received my food and it was definitely burnt to a crisp.Third time, I ordered the same- Mahi Mahi tacos and a salad. He ordered the same taco, shrimp cocktail and sweet potato bites. Everything came out one by one for him, while I didn't get my food. When my salad came, it was wrong- I ordered no meat. About 10 minutes later here comes my salad. Great! Then I had to ask for my tacos again. after another 7 minutes, it comes with about one ounce of chopped up mahi mahi cold and dried up. His was the same. Asked about the fish portions and why it looked like that and was told it was supposed to be 6 ounces of fish and they cook it like that to ensure evenly cooked. Our meal was $100 and they gave use a $9 discount. We are very generous tippers and we could not understand how the quality, service, and everything else went from fantastic to crappy in a matter of one week. Probably won't go back as there are other restaurants along the water front to visit. We are looking for consistency all across the board! In

Tried the restaurant this lake trip. Busy for a Thurs night, but our party of 8 was seated promptly.There was DJ blasting music in small area - unbelievably loud, we almost left, it was ringing music not pleasant at all. How you loose not attract customers.Food is above average, esp for such a small town. Lobster roll was meaty, bread toasty chewy.Tuna tostadas, had to dig for tuna, which was the melty star but way too much piled lettuce.Sweet potato tatter tots, Brussels sprouts with pork belly were other highlights - apps were more creative than mains. Drinks were meh but service friendly.

Lobster roll on left in New England. "Lobster" roll on right at Shady's. For God's sake, take it off the menu!! Pizza was excellent as well as the service.

Fantastic service and great atmosphere including live music! Ryan and Ryan are the best. Highly recommend both the bar/grill and the marina.

My family came here yesterday visiting family who lives in Lake Gaston and we ate here for lunch - what a fun spot with a beautiful view! The wait staff were all very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was very good and came out timely for our party of 6. They have a cute little boutique inside the marina store right beside the restaurant which has cute Lake Gaston items. Definitely excited to come back here next time we're in town!Bonus - they have 2 single stall restrooms outside that I was surprised were air conditioned!

Got carryout. Ordered online and was ready in 20 minutes. It was a Tuesday, but still quick service and great food!

Amazing food. Amazing views and vibe. But more than that, the service was unreal. Dennise is probably the greatest waitress I have ever had.

Under new management and great people! Atmosphere is awesome, music, food is good, lots of Cocktails, great staff and we ARE dog friendly! We have Handicap access and welcome any and all. Come and enjoy our lil Shady Shack on Lake Gaston in Bracey,Va. it's a must! The sunset will NEVER disappoint.
