The Social at Lake Martin,

2001 Castaway Island Road, Eclectic, AL 36024

"The Social was a huge disappointment. The atmosphere and service were amazing. The food and drinks were extremely disappointing. We ordered fried pickles, cheese sticks, fries, chicken tenders, and cheeseburger. All of it was disgusting. It wasn't just ours, it was others in our party as well. The pickles were soggy. The fries had no flavor, only a greasy flavor. The cheese things, whatever they were, OMG no ...don't do it. The Bushwackers were like drinking a milkshake. They were $12/each and I normally don't drink, and I felt absolutely nothing from it. Don't waste your money. For the $84 we spent on them, we could have made our own much better. Save yourself the hassle and take the 3 hour drive south and go to Pensacola, the original home of the Bushwacker. We couldn't tell a difference in the kids virgin Miami vice and the Bushwacker. Everything was so horrible I forgot to take pictures. Here's the cheese things and fries. We should have known when it was a Saturday and there were empty boat parking spots that it wasn't a good sign when the other places we went, there was no boat parking and they were absolutely packed."

"Food is order in line and then they bring to your table. A lot of fried options with very little fresh/grilled options. The options they have are good though. Drinks are super good! The reason I gave a 3 star is because we are a family of 6 and there is no where for the kids to hang out and have a fun time. They can’t swim and we don’t want them wandering on the docks by other peoples boats."

"It's a self serve restaurant the catch is its on beautiful Lake Martin. Staff very nice, good drinks, umbrella up for sun protection. Annual trip for my birthday."

"Ducked in here because of storms approaching. 1st time visit. I was hoping for a little more "indoor dining" to beat the brutal heat but understandably this is a Lake Spot. Pricey too...but we did like the Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos & fries! I was really upset with all the black flies though. I get they are everywhere and may be hard to control, but it was ridiculous. Couldn't keep them off our food & drinks so it was unpleasant and difficult to enjoy our meal. Most of the Staff is nice & friendly. We did get a little attitude from some of the Bartenders. When on the Lake, we would love to give it another try!"

"It has a refreshing atmosphere that is worth stopping by during a day on the lake. Indoor and outdoor seating. The food came out quickly and was freshly prepared. The food temp was perfect and the flavor was amazing. There was live music, which made the experience even better!!!"
