4.1 / 5 (1244 reviews)

Menu

The restaurant from Cornelius offers 59 different menus and drinks on the menu for an average price of $7.7.

Perched with a hipster beer-garden vibe, this music-forward spot shines for lively bartenders and dependable live shows but disappoints on value and food. Steep $15 cocktails, a cover charge and a $5 door surcharge for late buyers make nights pricey. Crowded parking, subpar restrooms, occasional billing errors and brusque closing procedures detract from the experience. Best for live-music and nightlife fans who prioritize atmosphere and drinks over dining and budget-friendly service.

What Mark M dislikes about Boatyard Eats:
Food was absolutely horrible overpriced!!!Security and staff was very intimidating and rude at closing.Basically forced us out the door without any warning. Parking lot was full by 7pm, and the bathroom situation is a nightmare! The music, atmosphere, and bartenders where great though.Parking: Too any cars View all feedback.

Great location for live music, good food drinks and has a nice playground for children to turn off some energy. I would stay with a friend Sunday just to pick up a bit and end for 5 hours. The staff was super friendly personable: excellent customer service!! The band they played outside (at 7 a.m.) was exceptional and brought us some old school rhythm blues with horns, saxophone, flute, drums, keyboard and more. It was such an unexpected treat and had many of us on the dance floor that made memories. Can't wait to come back!

The staff were friendly and attentive. However, since the event was held on the outdoor stage, we spent two hours under the sun without much shade, which made it quite uncomfortable on a hot day. It might be better for the bands to perform on the indoor stage. We ended up leaving early due to the heat, but I can imagine that events in the evening would be fantastic.

This is a fantastic spot! They offered live music, a spacious bar, and plenty of areas to relax, socialize, or dance. There was even a section where kids could run around freely like wild buffaloes. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the crowd was fun. I will definitely be back!

After a whole year, I’ve noticed that many reviews highlight issues with the bathrooms inside, and unfortunately, the situation is no better outside. It would be great to see more restrooms available for those willing to spend their money here! Additionally, relocating the indoor stage could really help open up the space. Finding parking can be a challenge, but once you’re inside, it’s actually a nice venue.

We primarily visit for the live music. Unfortunately, the food doesn't impress. Given that they have an entrance fee, you would expect the dining experience to be better. Additionally, it's frustrating that online ticket sales close at 5 PM, leaving us to pay an extra $5 at the door. This seems unnecessary. As a result, we’ve stopped considering this place for last-minute outings. It feels unfair to charge customers more when they arrive.
